    I bought a 88 gmc Sierra 1500 for $750. in Oregon this last December.
    I spent $18 on a coolant temp sensor.
    Hooked up the tps sensor that was installed incorrectly by the previous owner.
    Ran perfect after that.
    Drove it for a week, then decided to drive it cross country from Oregon to north Carolina, with $600 in my pocket.
    Got 15-16 mpg all the way across.
    Slept in the camper shell that came with the truck.
    Ate terrible truck stop food.
    Arrived for Christmas with my family in 5 days with about $80 left.
    Done a ton of those type of trips over the years.
    Get out n have fun folks.

    Those guys went out of their way to fix Ben's clapped out Eclipse at 2AM, getting a head on and engine started in 5 hours just so they can continue on their self-inflicted-pain of a youtube roadtrip special. I'm actually speechless. I don't know how I would even thank them in that scenario (other than with a large amount of cash).

    These videos are insane. Not just the unrelenting dedication (when did you sleep during the DSM debacle!?). But also the editing. The music, vibes, jokes, etc. This is legitimately filling the void left for me by the original Top Gear trio.

    How relatable man.
    My first car since I came to the US in 2016. 2006 Eclipse Gen 4, 2.4L, bought it for $2400 in Dover, DE. I was excited as a cow driving with no plates to Ocean City, MD, and my timing belt did the same on HWY113.
    First towing and service experience within a day of buying a car. Damn if I'd known that my first car crash is less than a month apart LOL.

    Is so funny how you talk about the RX8. I had a friend with one that routinely drove from FL to KY and they did nothing special to it. No premix or that weird Rev thing. That car had nearly 150k before they finally traded it in for an SUV. That thing was bullet proof

    • @TerminusVox
      @TerminusVox 10 місяців тому +20

      I think the key thing was that your friend's car was probably continuously on the road and not in a barn for four years. And then Ben swapped in some sort of special motor and anything special needs special treatment.

    • @davehoffman515
      @davehoffman515 10 місяців тому +21

      The rev is really only needed on low compression series 1 rx-8s due to the weak starter.
      Older rx-8s can use the series 2 starter to help with this as well.
      With the extra oil injectors on the series 2 (which the R3 is) premixing is less of a problem but I still do it in my 2011.
      Ben should remove the clogged cat before it causes damage to the engine.

    The fact you found a 2nd Gen GSX that looks so clean for apparently "so cheap" is crazy. It doesn't have a ridiculous paintjob/wrap and it looks like natural wear, that's a dream.
    Edit: 1:57 I retract my statement of it being a dream.

    Is it time to consider using a ramp-back truck as a chase vehicle for these cross-country road trips?

    Probably my favorite melted cheese car from the 90s. Drove from Vegas to Ohio and back in a 1998 Eclipse GS a couple years ago with 234k miles on the clock. Some stretches I let it sit and eat at 120. It was a blast with its pavement ripping 140hp lol. . Didn't break down. I loved that thing.

      So was mine, I loved it for that singular year but unfortunately the engine was going out on it so I had to let it go. I got an 8th gen civic instead and while the high rpm’s are fun in the civic I always miss the pops and burbles my RX8 made stock. I DO NOT miss the 14mpg though

    This is great advice for all of us, even if we are old and crusty. One of my first new cars was a GLHS Omni, which most people consider fugly but damn it was a riot to drive. I did a cross country trip and enjoyed every mile of it.

    I owned a 2008 RX8 40th Anniversary Edition back in 2010. I loved that car and with proper maintenance, it was reliable. The stigma around this car is based around the fact that people not familiar with the rotary engine purchased them and tried to do the same maintenance as an IC engine. I feel the pain of the fuel mileage though, I think I averaged 14-15 MPG of the span that I owned it.

    I had a 1995 Eagle Talon, and the same thing happened to me, the bolt on the belt tensioner loosened up, and took out the timing belt, luckily some how the head was good, and no valves were damaged. They were also known for crank walk, if you throw a drive belt chances are it's crank walk if no pulleys are obviously bent, or damaged.

    I was working at a Mazda dealership when the RX8 was new. And I remember being absolutely blown away at how terrible the factory gas mileage was.
