April 3, 201213 yr I have 6000K in my headlights on Ned. Great light output, WAYYYY better than stock.. Never said there was anything wrong with 6000k, just that it was too blue for my liking. Although, I think technically 5500k has more light output. Buy a very small, probably mostly negligible amount...
April 3, 201213 yr Got my GL registered. $84.10.It shouldn't be that expensive for a 23yo car... You think that's bad, try registering a car in CO. My 87 GL was $120. And there's not even DEQ stuff down here.
April 5, 201213 yr I'm building this for someone in order to help fund the brat build... hope to have it done this weekend.
April 5, 201213 yr Got my GL registered. $84.10.It shouldn't be that expensive for a 23yo car... My 84 fwd was $58, but I did transfer the plates from my other ea81 wagon, so that saved me a bit of money, and I still thought that was kind of a lot....
April 5, 201213 yr What does the age of the car have to do with registration costs? The car takes up just as much room on the road, and it costs just as much to keep track of it as if it were brand new. Insurance is a different story. Since they will just write off these old beasts anyway, it should be cheaper for own-damage insurance, assuming anyone is nuts enough to buy it!
April 5, 201213 yr I don't know about other states, but in Maine it's sort of like this. You pay excise tax on cars 6 years old or newer. And cars older than that the registration is calculated by the original value of the car. The original value of my 98 is like $25,000 because it's the limited. The original value of my GL is like $10,000 because it's a base model. They don't calculate inflation, so the registration is cheaper. If you have a 1945 lincoln your registration will be $20 or something because the original value of the car was so cheap.
April 5, 201213 yr definitely varies by State. used to be just weight of the car (road damage) but, they decided they could 'soak the rich' so, newer cars paid more. dunno what the formula looks like now that they'd like to get older cars off the road.
April 6, 201213 yr Ive been slowly working on my ea81 build. Installed a speedi-sleeve on the flywheel flange today. Hopefully that fixes the rear main leak But right now my motor build bench looks like this...
April 6, 201213 yr Got the rest of the parts I needed to finish my rear WRX brake swap on my XT6 today. I have all the WRX rear parking brake hardware, new shoes, cables, brake lines from an Outback, and a leather wrapped ebrake handle from a 2.5RS that is now mounted in the car (did that last night). Hoping to get it finished up so I can get the front parts swapped around:banana:
April 6, 201213 yr Idasho, you should make a thread about this rebuild. We all like diamond plate. I bet you have never seen RUBBER diamond plate, right I could start a thread on the build. Maybe this weekend
