fluffy Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 No pics yet, but I just drove home my new Roo! God, it's been a long year without one. My last Soob I had to sell in Feb 06 due to a rusted/snapped crossmember, then I went 8 months without a car, then 4 months with a VW Rabbit... At least the Rabbit was free!!! But not really in the good way. No reverse lights, no fan switch (put the wire into the right hole to make it work), no stereo, loud muffler, rusting to pieces, holes in the floor! Glad it's gone! Anyway, the new Soob is a '85 GL sedan. Good body, good engine, needs a muffler. 320k on the body, 150 on the engine. Drives really nice. I'll post pics when I get them. Question; do mufflers on these old beasts rattle often? The new car does, and so did the old one. Sounds like a marble in a tin can...

Turbone Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 The heat shield on the front cat is the culprit. I've wedged a nut in there for a temp fix. Been quiet for a long time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tie-wire or baling wire is a good long-term "rig" to fix this, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
