Damn, my car will be gone tomorrow...

mr2greasemonkey · 07-01-2009, 02:09 PM

Did you finally sell it?

SE-RMR2 · 07-01-2009, 02:28 PM

It should be sold tomorrow... and I will be Hospital debt free...

Seth W · 07-01-2009, 02:45 PM

thats cool in a way but no 2. So you guys have friday off then? My boss is doing the drags down at woodburn for the the "pinks" show and I figured I'd go either friday or sunday some time.

With any luck maybe I'll have today off or do a partial day. I wont be able to get the an fitting until friday at the soonest because I'm broke but their is enough other stuff to do in the mean time.

mr2greasemonkey · 07-01-2009, 03:56 PM

I got two really short pieces of flex pipe, maybe that'll work for you seth. Hope the car sells leng.

mr2greasemonkey · 07-02-2009, 11:37 AM

Got your axles seals replace and axles/suspension bolted in seth. Looks like the short flexpipe pieces should work.

Here's something interesting I came across.

Seth W · 07-02-2009, 03:05 PM

thanks, so do you have friday off then? I get to find out today if I'm laid off of work or not so hopefully not

SE-RMR2 · 07-02-2009, 03:54 PM

It's sold guys... went to a great dude...

mr2greasemonkey · 07-02-2009, 04:13 PM

Congrats on the sale. I know where there is this white na you can try and get. Not sure if it's still up for grabs cause the current owner has no title for it. Think it'll be real easy for you to find though.

I don't have friday off so same as usual for me. Vince is talking bout going to the drags to run his car again.

Seth W · 07-02-2009, 04:38 PM

yeah but you arent going to get it for $300

SE-RMR2 · 07-02-2009, 04:43 PM

No car for me for another 7 months... it's go BIG or GO home for me this next round...

mr2greasemonkey · 07-02-2009, 06:18 PM

Big diesel truck then for you leng, eh?

SE-RMR2 · 07-02-2009, 06:22 PM

I would like one, but I am thinking more along the lines of S2000 or Supra MK4 or 02-04 Z06 Vette... just saving up the dollars now... There are many cars right now that are tempting me, but i am going to hold out for a car i really want... Saving all the pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters I can...

Seth W · 07-03-2009, 02:06 AM

you kids are almost old enough to make nikes or rugs, just tell them it's arts and crafts time

eckoman_pdx · 07-05-2009, 07:18 AM

Hey guys, I almost have my car back together finally. It's been a long time coming. Hope you all have been well.

Vince, I got the BOV cover taken care of. I used paint stripper to strip the clear (HKS uses crappy clear, came off in less then 10 seconds), then sanded the scratches out re-polished it up better than it was new. Then I had a powder coater shoot clear powder on it instead of doing clear paint, since it's more durable. Thanks for the advice, it looks good again.

I have to fab up one more bracket for the catch can, then polish it out, then get a longer hose for the valve cover to catch can, then I should be close to done. I bleed the cooling system today. Hopefully I got all the air out, there was a ton. Took forever.

I had to put the KO AFM intake pipe on too I bought awhile ago, as the stock elbow was cracked a little. Had to fab up a pair of brackers and polish them out, then use the afm adapter and K & N filter. Too care of that the other day.

It's almost drivable, so I'll have to head down and visit soon.

I have a question though. I hear a hissing when the engine is running. When I cranked the motor and went back to the bay while idling, I hear a loud hissing sound. Sounds like it's coming from the throttle body/Intake Manifold area. Could be the valve cover, hard to tell.

Any ideas? Could my IAVC be going bad and case it, worn throttle? I read in the No Shoes boost leak tester thread the fuel rail grommets and intake manifold gasket can leak, I'm guessing that could case the sound.

I'm thinking I need to do another boostleak test. Do we have a boost leak tester that fits a CT26 at the shop group, or do I need to make/buy one?

Any other ideas on finding the hissing other than the boostleak tester and the old spraying carb cleaner trick?

Could the coolant blowing on the BOV have ate the inside seals like it did the clear? I'd hate to think I need a whole new BOV, but the hissing is loud enough I had a problem pinning it down tonight.

The hissing sound is pretty bad.

Leng, for your next car I vote Z06 Vette first, then MKIV Supra.

If anyone needs their car buffed out, let me know, and I can bring the rotary/pads/compound down to the shop group one of the weekends to do it.

Seth W · 07-05-2009, 01:03 PM

actually mine needs to be detailed in the worst way. I may just take it to apex restoration because I sort of know the guy their but who knows when that will happen. regardless I'd like to get the thing nice looking again for summer

Sure, I'm down to bring down my buffer and go to town on it. From memory, I'm thinking #83 with a medium yellow pad followed by a 2 coats of wax should do it.

I can't make it down this week, a friend is taking me and my wife to the coast for a late bday present and then I'm having a late birthday bbq party here at the house probably Friday (if any of you guys want to come to that call me and let me know). Then Saturday it's off to Seattle for a car show followed by a BBQ put on by some friends up there, so this week is loaded.

I can do it any time next week, so let me know when is good for you

mr2greasemonkey · 07-06-2009, 01:44 PM

Bah, why is it that once you decide to fix something you find other stuff that needs fixing too. I'll try and fix 5th gear in your trans today Seth. You might want to pick up another petcock for your radiator if you want to completely seal off that tiny leak. I'll check on some aftermarket slim fans, 12 inch. and an oil cooler.

White Rice · 07-06-2009, 07:21 PM

Hope you guys had a great 4th of July weekend!

When should I change my tranny oil?

Judgeman · 07-06-2009, 08:43 PM

anyone got an LSD for sale, it turns out the the spedo drive gear on my beeter 2 is free spining on the dif

so i figure if im going to take it apart i might as well put new syncros and maybe an LSD in it.
