wow i can't believe there weren't more pages to get caught up on....
been down and out cuz i passed a ****ing kidney stone on friday night! wtf!? a whole weekend of working on the 2 down the drain cuz of my stupid health....

anywhoo yes the car is running much better after bleeding the coolant out. Mark thanks again a million times over for coming out you really helped a lot.
she is still bouncing between 1100-1500rpms and its driving me insane!
Mixxer i have checked EVERYTHING on that list except the vac booster, valve clearance, and compression. didn't think about that as i never had this problem before i pulled the intake man off. i figure it must have something to do with the work i did, but who knows? and for all i know there may still be air in the coolant, it was really unnerving how long it took and how much air was in there, almost thought maybe my HG was toast but i don't have milkshakey oil or smoke coming out the exhaust so it can't be that, right?
like i said i have gone thru everything else, the whole ign system is new (cap rotor plugs wires dizzy housing ign coil), timing is set per the BGB to 10 deg BTDC, i have sprayed the whole thing down with TB cleaner, incl the intake air temp sensor and the whole intake piping. i mean we sprayed everywhere and can't find a vac leak.
argh i am going crazy i cant wait till i am well enough to work on her again. if i don't have her buttoned up by this coming weekend i am gonna drive her down south so we can all tag team this stubborn *****

Need to change the hose or do what I told you and clean it up. Roll the hose with your hands as if you are making a pizza to take all those crap outta there

So I was watching some old anime of mines and I came across "Bokura No", A really ****ed up anime. It had a very sad plot to it, but the point I'm getting to was it had one of the best intro themes I've heard. So I looked around youtube and found a subtitled version of it and wow, the lyrics are as sad as the anime. Hope you guys enjoy, I love her voice..

[randomxzero]

man that song is pretty sad..
but its a cool song

[Davis]

I'm glad you appreciate it Alex.

What do you need help with Alex? Maybe I can stop by and give you two a hand, yes this time I'll get dirty Mixxer.

[randomxzero]

[Mark_Dorman]

Man only one page top catch up on since Friday evening...Frankie was right. It was dead on here.

I hope you get better soon Ren...your car misses you.

Ji, I'm gonna be fixing the slider on your CC tomorrow so I should have it ready by the evening. I can come over whenever to put it back in and button everything up.

Tin, how's that exhaust workin for ya? Liking the LED's? Did you say you wanted a different color key ring?

Davis...you left early and missed out on the fun. Also on getting my Red 91 tail lights. Maybe you can call Andrew and trade him your stock ones for them

You know anyone who does alarm and stereo upgrades too? I just want to replace the deck with something a little better.

On a side note, I just found out I have a slight radiator leak. Anyone know where I can find a Koyo radiator for a 94 N/A MR2 online? I couldn't believe EBay didn't have it.

Okay...the dynomat will make it quieter but you'll need a sound barrier to really quiet it down. I would advise going that route if you can. There is a shop in Irvine that sells some good stuff. Depending on what you decided to go with I could do the floor boards and rear firewall for about $150...and I'll do the center console (it's an area with a lot of vibrations. Cascade audio engineering makes some good stuff that I can get pretty easily. When are you looking to have it done by and with how much down time? I can probably do it in two days.

Audio stuff...I'm not sure about.

The radiator you could find in part out threads or you could buy an aftermarket aluminum one from Mushimoto (I want one ).
