Long story short, finally picked up my Borg Warner for the daily. Problem being, the gentlemen I got it from had blown the seals within a few hundred miles. It currently sits disassembled, and I was curious if anyone had any intuitive rebuild guides I could get a link to (General, or specific...

Just bumped into your Craiglist ad bro. This thing still sitting around?

Out of the collection, here's my two current favorites: The SKS. And the Beretta M92D Centurion. Curiosity, anyone have any first hand experience modifying the Trigger on the Beretta? Or have a good information source? I haven't been able to find anything, and to get my index set...

Huge improvement. This guy likes.

I think my Ex would have a coronary if she lived in your neck of the woods. Hahahaha.

Not a problem dude. Let us know how it goes.

Invest in AAA my friend. Haha.

For me, the Rice Killers video about covers it. Behavior and attitude! Although you'll see me use the term for aesthetics none the less. And the requisite car pics.... Drop Springs, Blond big tittied Ex, and once on five spoke N/A wheels. Coilovers, Rota Slipstreams, two website and club...

I'll second what these guys have said. A typical manual is something someone with a decent idea of what they are doing shouldn't have much issue tearing into and repairing. An automatic, however, is beyond the scope of many guys you could call in the intermediate (Or more) range of knowledge...

Interesting. Back when I had been looking at doing this swap, I had spent far too much time searching for a pre-95 longblock- Having never realized the 95+ with lightened rotating assembly was that stout... Is the 1UZ susceptible to lifting the heads under boost?

What do you have planned for engine internals?

I use to use a pink compound I "Acquired" back when I was doing detailing. I believe it was a mother's product, but I have no idea now. lol. Go with Meguiar's 105 and 205 compounds.

How are you cleaning it before spraying? That is typical of under-prepping and/or oils present. Since you're obviously sanding the hell out of it, I'd say the second. Wash the piece with dawn dish soap, after thoroughly rinsed and dried, wipe it down with rubbing alcohol. Make sure you don't...

Originally from 56th and Pulaski on the Southwest side, now I'm over by the Zoo in Brookfield. Yeah, we ended up settling spitting distance from where we started. lol

+1 on Berwyn. Public Transportation in and out of the City proper, and decent pricing. The north end of would be cheapest, albeit with more crime. The southern end is a bit more expensive, but is a much nicer area. All in all, certainly a town to take a look at. (Take note, the further east you...

Cicero eh? Haha, I'm right next door to Cicero. You want cheap, there's somewhere to look.... Just try to ignore the sporadic gunfire. Are you only looking to spend 26k total? Or is that what you have for a downpayment? You more than likely won't like most of the areas 26k straight will get...

Depending. That 45 minute drive on I55 or I88 can be quite the bitch at times.... (Family lived off Rt.57 in Aurora for awhile.) Did you look at the collar suburbs at all? I just saw a 250k house go for 145k in North Riverside. And that would be fine commuting distance, and near the Blue Line...

Heh. Been there and done that. I've since started sticking em to the underside the hood. lol

Sounds pretty darn good. Not really feeling the Decal action though. In general, and being an utter lover of sleepers, which yours could be... Without the HKS Billboards and what-not. ;)

Seriously? I'm intrigued. I'll have to go dig for that. Still waiting on the pictures from my buddies of theirs.
