Worst "Up" - grades Under $200

[Mr.Puff]

I had to paint my calipers :*(. They were rusted.

My driver's license was around $20. My car underperforms by German standards

+1 on the fan paint. Silly me, I painted mine yellow. On a daily driver, yellow is not a color that belongs in the engine compartment.

Paul - I posted the cite some time ago -- off the top of my head try in the yellow UpFixin' & some of BA's articles/book also.

My name is Pål and I am a......



That feels so much better But they were red when I got them, I just cleaned them up and painted again.

Best free upgrade? Kroggers avtar. Could be bigger though.

Randy...just that I was puzzled. You see, Gammer highly recommended the DOT stainless braided line when I had the suspension redone there... No biggie, I guess, since Evren can always go back to rubber if he wishes.

Oh, my nomination for fugly upgrade? Those "yeller" h-1 headlight lenses on early cars. Even the French no longer require them, now specify clear...dunno if they are under or over $200 though...I sure never wanted a set.

They later motors were quited significantly. Holes in the Carerra air box were actually offered by the factory )motor sound pkg) and are a common acoustical - but not power changing - alteration.

Yup - lots of muffler hurt more than help. The engine dyno tells the story...

OK, I have to ask, does anyone have pictures of the holes in the air box from the factory (motor sound package as RWebb refers to)? I'd love to see what it looks like!

Paul - I'm surprised - even the DOT ones need to be tossed yearly (or so I'm told). I'd feel safer with TUV approved ones too....

I just have to point out that Irish Green is one of the few colors that look good (or 'ok') with the yellow lenses - black would be the other one.

Mike - a search on motor + sound + package might turn up some pics. I know I've seen them posted. No biggie as to how you put the holes in there...

Caprice:
1 a: a sudden, impulsive, and seemingly unmotivated notion or action b: a sudden usually unpredictable condition, change, or series of changes 2: a disposition to do things impulsively

I have been attempting to keep these definitions from my daughter; Caprice Price.

Personally, whilst I find the hanging, imitation male social equipment hanging from the rear bumper acceptable in flesh or even blue, I think the chrome ones are tacky.

Does the double row of black silhouette VW bugs/busses and Yugos on the front fender, fighter aircraft style qualify as an under 2C mistake? Or just plain ostentatious bragging.

I didn't mean I didn't know how to put holes in my airbox I did a search and didn't come up with anything.

Well, I was looking for what the factory did, so I used factory motor sound package. All I came up with was cars for sale with this option, and absolutely no pictures.

Thanks, I'll keep looking though...

Might also be pics in some catalog from that era - I know some catalogs have been posted online.
