Re: Car Mechanic Specializing in Transmission Issues

Automatic transmission fluid: 4-speed: 9.5 L, CASTROL TQ 95 and 5-speed: 8.0 L SHELL or FUCHS ATF 3353 (lubrication chart) That would be DEXRON III then, which is what they sell here everywhere for automatic Hyundais. Any shop will have it, and it's relatively inexpensive too $5-6 a litre I believe...

Re: I have been making egg fried rice wrong all this time

I'm "weird", in that I cook the eggs in a separate pan than the rice. I like to cook and coat the rice with the cooking oils (sesame, soybean/sunflower, sometimes olive), soy sauce, peppers, garnishings (onions, chopped garlic, etc.), and then after the egg is cooked, chop it up and place ...

Re: Car Mechanic Specializing in Transmission Issues

^^^ Anecdotal, but I used to have an old 80's Ford with an "infamous" transmission (AXOD code name) known for failing around 50k miles. My car had 230k miles on the original trans, owner did a full fluid exchange every 30k miles. As for your vehicle, I would try (if the garage knows what i...

Unless you're in the U.S. Freaking small engine Toyotas and Hondas are selling double what they used to last year.

Prices in California nearly $8 a gallon in some places finally woke them up I guess.

Sorry, it's been sold.

I should have posted earlier when it sold, but was really busy.

Re: Rant: fatal traffic accident

The driver's up in Ratanakiri are so bad, even for Cambodia. It's the only place I've been in a serious crash (rear ended and totaled my vehicle by a guy flying on the wrong side of the road at high speed). Also 3 of my workers died in a 5 year period, and it was always the same story, drove or rode...

Sorry if not clear, I'm planning on getting a bicycle anyway, so if someone has something (up to $300 or so), I'm happy to do a partial swap.

Re: 2014 PCX 125, original Japan import, $1950 (Kep/Kampot)

Wish I could edit the price in the title, not sure if the $1350 is visible.

Had an offer for $1250 I accepted, except the buyer's wife fell ill and they left the country so...just letting it be known, $1250 is doable.

Still open to do a partial trade for a decent bicycle.

Re: Honda AX1 for sale

Probably an 87, not 97.
