Nevermind, I guess I'll pick up the bleeder on Sunday, if that is cool with you. I can't find any shops that stock ATE super blue/amber. Soooooo I guess I'll have to order it off of tirerack, think I'mma order 2 liters.

Tell me about it Mark, I have class from the afternoon till 10 every Mon-Fri.

Okay well, I'll pick it up next week, since I don't have enough money to buy the fluid at the moment.

EvilElvis · 05-11-2009, 08:11 PM

Its totally worth the effort, relatively cheap and great performance. I got mine at autobacs. I couldn't find any when autobacs was psuedo closing, and had to settle for motul.

randomxzero · 05-11-2009, 08:43 PM

Torc was cool

...
anyways my MKI has a fluctuating idle :/....
when i step on the gas it doesn't rev up...
i checked the TPS and the timing (thats what the book gave me)
any ideas guys ??

masagsxr · 05-11-2009, 09:09 PM

Sorry guys.. bleeder is not leaving my garage. Its an investment I can't afford to get damage. I rather see it break at my own garage than finding out would could be wrong after it is returned to me (no offense).

Davis: When I bled mine I used almost 2-30oz of brake fluid I wanted to make sure all the lines were clean. You really don't need 2-30oz its just that the reservoir is 1 gal then when you pump it almost half of the fluid goes to the hose already. You don't want air coming through the line.

leak in the tube between the throttlebody and afm. You were at torc? Did you spot my red monstrosity?

randomxzero · 05-11-2009, 11:28 PM

yes i did spot that sexy monstrosity

i was looking around for you, but didnt see you ha so i went to go get a pink piggy across from where the mr's were

some guys got really wet over the ITB's when they were by your car and started going picture crazy...

masagsxr · 05-11-2009, 11:33 PM

Dorman / Angie: I know Angie is still looking???? This could be a good start for her. I know you guys are still trying to part out the extra car there tho but this looks like an awesome deal.

91 Toyota MR2
Good running condition, clean title, good on gas. NO TRADES, CASH ONLY AND WILL BE SOLD "AS IS" I can negotiate some, but not by much.
If you're interested, please send an email to the link above and schedule a test drive.

Location: Monterey Park

Mark_Dorman · 05-12-2009, 12:25 AM

Looks nice...I e-mailed the guy with a few questions. Honestly we really need to sell the red one and finish parting out the turbo before buying another one. I would rather not have more than three in my possession at one time

.

Might end up doing the turbo swap on the red car...waitin' to see if there is a potential buyer

masagsxr · 05-12-2009, 12:57 AM

Yeah i know u got 3 already... just thought I pass that one along since the car looks clean and very good price.... Or, why not just keep the red for Angie and continue on the project. You/she would end up spending about the same trying to start with that black one.

Yeah I went to Autobacs today to see if they had any because I swore I saw some a long time ago. They didn't even have Motul there! Geez.

They didn't have MT-90 either, I was bummed.

None taken dude, but you know I'll be good for it.

I guess we'll do the brake flush / ss lines / new rotors and pads all around on my car after next week. I'll still pay ya for the use of your time and space.

Hmm guess 2 liters is spot on then! Maybe another liter since I'm also doing the clutch? But then I probably wouldn't even use half of it in there.

masagsxr · 05-12-2009, 02:07 AM

I just need you to do my alignment while you are still in school and we're straight. I don't want to go to a shop to pay $70 for 1 time alignment... If I have to do that then i'd rather go all out and pay for the lifetime alignment for like $170. I am having that phase like you tho when sometimes I wanna sell the 2 and go luxary like Ji over there hehehehe

I think u have more than enough for the clutch. It does not use that much. The only thing with that is, there is no way for the bleeder kit to fit on that tight spot unless I can come up with another adapter. I already have one in mind I'm just lazy to make it hahahahaa..

Davis · 05-12-2009, 02:13 AM

Haha aren't those phases fun?

I can do your alignment in August, no more working on cars since this is the last week of school!

masagsxr · 05-12-2009, 02:20 AM

Yeah they are fun... She's looking oh so pretty again tho since I replaced my hood (OEM not CF). Oh she looks good. Need to look for the wiper cowl tho since Christian didn't want to sell me the one off his parts car.

ProjekIssei · 05-12-2009, 02:30 AM

Wait... Davis you can't work on cars anymore after school? *Scratches head*

Davis · 05-12-2009, 02:32 AM

Haha what I meant was I can't use the equipment we have at school. Have to wait until next semester.

honda_bar · 05-12-2009, 02:37 AM

eh Davis, you never responded to my text. I think you should! Ji did you get one brother?

FS: GREDDY SP EXHAUST

Davis · 05-12-2009, 02:39 AM

Supported.

Mr2 non turbo engine/tranny

honda_bar · 05-12-2009, 02:43 AM

ren, do it.

masagsxr · 05-12-2009, 02:53 AM

Wow thats cheap...

c'mon guys, Ren is already getting a free one remember?

... But daym.. I might just have to pick that up and do my own little video just like the one Christian posted hhhmmmm

Davis · 05-12-2009, 02:54 AM

Pick it up then! You have a Titan to haul it.
