(ERA) LOL!!! That's how i choose my name on the forums... This car is a nightmare! It was abused by rednecks before I got it:3d_frown:. They did alot of stupid stuff to the car before I got it. My wife told me just to sell it and save up for a good one. I might?. But what's the fun in getting...

Yea, i plan on changing the oil this weekend. I had my buddy look up his cost for toyota gaskets. Looks like I gotta save $260ish up for all the gaskets I need. I'm almost tempted to just buy a used 7mgte and get it machined and checked out for a MHG. Then drop it in. But I want to save this...

At least for awhile. Drove the car to the doctor yesterday and the headgasket went:3d_frown:. I know where I did it even though it ran fine until I stopped at a light. I boosted off an offramp... having fun. As soon as i stopped... chug,chug,chug,chug. Rolled down the window to smell the sweet...

How you distribute your weight will make a bigg difference. Usually I put a little more weight on the front of the trailer it helps keep it the trailer stable. But you dont want it all on there or it will make the truck bouncy and handle like crap. I usually use a car dolly. And it has pins that...

I see what IJ is asking. I had to fix my mother in-laws cadillac. The pump was squealing and she had a hose pop off. I hooked it all up then it poped the line off at the aux cooler. I took off the lower under-body skirt and walla! There was a filter.(just like a fuel filter). Pulled it off and...

I see what he's saying. When he apllies pressure to the wastegate actuator. It doesn't open the wastgate door all the way. Even if he stuck his stock DP on how would that help. If the wastegate door is only opening a 1/4 of an inch how is the DP going to get in the way. Maybe I'm missing...

If you figure it out.. please post up your findings on this. I'm having similar problems with my car. And I have my controller turned all the way down. My car does the same thing every gear spikes around 12.5lbs and hits fuel cut. But mine surges when doing half throttle take offs. I have about...

Hey guys. It's been awhile since my cars acted up but here it goes again:nono:. Okay... lets start this out. My car is stock other than a 3"in custom elbow,DP, and exhaust. I also have an AEM tru-boost controller on it. I had to switch out the turbo earlier this year. I replaced with another...

I could run the bolt on spacers if i need to. But I think they're to thick. I think they were 1" spacers. I'll dig them out and check. I went to get the 225/45' and they were sold already:3d_frown:. Oh,well... But I'm going to keep and eye out for some more used ones for cheap. But now my front...

The reason for 225/45's is, that it seems to be the ideal size tire for a 7.5 wide rim. And I have trial fitted the rims on the car.. But not with 225/45's. The rims will fit. I know... But will the skinny 7.5 wide rim look funny? See the rims as of now have 255/55's on them. And thats a little...

Okay... my pass front tire keeps goin flat in 2 days. I took it into the tire dealer. To look at it... there's two 1 inch cracks in the inside of the rim and it's bent. (I knew it was rashed before i got the car). I've got a set of 4 18"rims I had from a lwered ranger i had. But I used spacers...

You should be able to hear any noises from it when you're turning everything. It would probably be in something other than the diff itself. Unless it's really loud. Usually the rear will whine if the gears are worn, or it might sound like you got mud terrain tires on the car (at least that was...

If you get a chance. You might jack both rear tires off the ground. Then put the car in neutral and spin the tires by hand. There's only a few things that could be making a noise. And you should be able to recreate it by turning it all by hand. First, check to make sure there's no wobble or...

Does it sound like it's coming from the rear? It could be gear lash in the rear end's ring and pinion(if it's got a lot of miles on it). A dry u-joint in the drive shaft could make a noise too. Is your car an auto or manual trans?

When I got my targa top. It leaked really bad at the outside front corners. My seat was wet everytime it rained. I actually thought about RTV'ing it in until this summer when I can get to changing seals. But I choose to be redneck and put about 4 layers of duct tape in the corners:rofl:. (just...
