I had a pinto , white with red stripes and a sun roof .... good car ...... for what it was .
My buddy had one just like that, dark brown, and he upgraded his with the 5.0 Mustang badges! (Not the motor, just the badges!)Me too. . . . shit brown. But, it was great on the back roads. Back then, all the back roads were dirt/gravel. The Pinto could be drifted around the corners perfectly. All my friends had Mustangs, Camaros, and pick-ups. They couldn't keep up with my little brown turd. . . . until we hit pavement.
My wife had a Maverick when we met. Total POS.I had a pinto , white with red stripes and a sun roof .... good car ...... for what it was .
When I was a little kid in Tuscarawas County Ohio (back when it was pretty poor) I had an older cousin get hit and become one of those. Other than big family gatherings never really knew her because what teen wants to deal with younger cousins.remember when exploding pintos were the big news item , we were all going to die a fiery death.......
I tried to find it with Tapatalk but neither the https address or the forum name worked in a search. Oh well will look later.Back on topic, Venture has been busting his butt to create the T700 sister site to this one and it's almost ready.
Yes, there's already a site and ADV threads but if you've been a member here, you'll be very comfortable with the structure of the new one because it's almost a mirror.
Don't bother, it's not released yet.I tried to find it with Tapatalk but neither the https address or the forum name worked in a search. Oh well will look later.
Then he must have snuck it in. I signed in/up on it this morning. There's a link on this site. You will have to register again, just like the first time here. I just looked again. . . . 10am this morning. The link post has dropped off of the current postings. Just scroll down.Don't bother, it's not released yet.
Not seeing that as a recurring theme. Or at all. Same on ADV.Don't want to throw out bad Ju-Ju... But wanted to see if anyone has seen or heard about any issues with the "700" engine... This was my local Yamaha dealer that had a bad MT07 engine, and they posted these pictures (top end). I asked if they knew what the issue was, they replied back and said "Tight Valves". Im very mechanical inclined, I cant possibly figure out in my head how tight valves could wipe out a head and probably the cam shafts............. Is there someone out in the world that could tell me how this could damage this motor like this ?
I post this because I believe that 95% of this motor is the same as the new T7. Is this something we need to be aware of more so that the ST12 ? The last picture shows some serious damage to the head. Im guessing, replacing the head & cams, maybe some buckets and all other supporting 'changing out the head' parts.
Anyone out in the world know any other info about this issue or similar?
Hmmm. Sorry to hear that. I have read other comments about the DCT ATI never took it to the twisties. It was so maddening just trying to ride the thing in a straight line. Blew my mind when I pulled out of the driveway and the thing was in 5th gear before I could get to 30 MPH. How much throttle response do you think you have when in 5th gear at 28 MPH?!! It only got worse from there. Man, that thing was not a good match for me.
Hmmm..Pinto translated from Portuguese into English = small dick...just so you know.I had a pinto , white with red stripes and a sun roof .... good car ...... for what it was .
This all ought to move to the T700 forum but I gots stuff to do.
