guys,

was wondering-how bad would it be to have the line parked in the drive in for say 3 hrs?i mean, aside from the exhaust, do your lines eat a lotta fuel idling there??

i used to take my old shit box over but with the line, i am not sure...

what?

unless your battery is completely shit the bed. you will not need to leave your car idling through a movie... maybe give it a quick crank half way through....

if your really that scared, Supercheap auto sell jump starters for like $40.... cheap cheap.

lol @ allblitz

you want to idle it for 3 hours and you're just worried about the fuel?

We start up the car a few times during a movie, purely to heat up the cabin, but its not on for long. The radio really doesn't use much of the battery.. so unless you want to put on 50,000 neon lights and the rest of your accessories you really don't need to run the car the whole time.

I think its time to ban people for being daft.

lol

Drive in movies = sit in car and watch movie on screen = soundtrack broadcast on radio = need radio to watch movie.

you don't need to idle unless you have 11ty billion jiggawatts of subs to power. Just crank and idle for about 5 mins in the middle of the moovie and you should be OK. That's providing you have a good battery. If not, take a portable radio and some batteries :)

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
