Hey guys, forgot to update about the rust issue, cut some sheet metal away and its a fairly small patch of rust. When i get back from camping july 2nd ill hopefully finish cleaning up the rust and start welding in the patch. Not sure if i want to repaint this year, or put my funds toward AEM EMS...

check the MAF plug, theres an oval gasket that goes in the plug. make sure its still there, sitting in the proper position, and not crushed. I had a hunting idle problem for a couple months and everything tested good, its wasnt until i fixed this gasket that it went away.

i have the yellow ronnie k subframe bushings in mine, and i didnt notice much if any noise increase from the rear end.

yea, the main reason i bought this car was because it came from texas a few years back and didnt have any rust except in the spare wheel well. unfortunately this popped up, so ill be inspecting the rest of the car before i start putting too much work into it. I have another rust free 88 so if...

What you're talking about is the subframe bushing spacers. there are 2 bolts toward the front on either side and 1 toward the rear. Remove those 6 bolts and you should have enough room to swap out the bushings.

haha believe me i want to! I did make some progress today, installed the rear coilovers and adjusted to height. Then i wanted to see how bad the rust on my quarter is, theres only a little dime sized paint bubble. I know that rust is like a cancer and for every bit you can see there's 10X's...

Time to bump this up!! Saturday me and the g/f took a trip down to New Jersey to pick up a 7M. :) .040 JE Pistons Crower rods 1mm oversize PEP valves 6m crank balanced with .010 oversize bearings cometic MHG no pics yet, and i probably wont be able to start working on it till July...

i would troubleshoot to find out exactly WHY its not starting. is it getting spark? fuel? it could be something as simple as the CPS wires. does your tach jump when you're cranking the car?

does this engine have some purple bits on it by chance? i think i may know the previous owner.

Yeah it happened to lewis1545 And i'd bet thats what happened to you too. Was your dipstick sitting in its proper place?

What about if your turbo seals are gone and when you went WOT boost went thru the seal pressurizing the crankcase and sending oil shootung thru your dipstick? I know this has happened to at least 1 person.

Whered the oil come from?

pinhole leak in a coolant hose somewhere, only leaks vry small amt when hot, when it cools down the hole closes up and the cooling system refills from res. check oil press sender for leakage

woah woah woah... just because USAA isnt being cooperative doesnt mean they don't have to cover that stuff. have your g/f call her ins company, tell them what happened (especially about the other person and their ins company) and im sure they'll help you out. your g/f shouldnt have to spend a...

Mary need to call Jane's insurance company and tell them to fuck off.... Of course they're gonna say Mary is at fault, they dont want to pay. if only 2 vehicles are involved in the accident those are the only 2 vehicles that can be held responsible (either one or both). Call Mary's insurance...

Figured i'd bring this back from the dead. Startin to get back into R/C and more specifically drifting. So for xmas my gf got me this body. I havent finished it yet, but heres a teaser pic.

classic car ins doesnt cover a DD... like antique car, it has stipulations on when u can drive it. get progressive, you can add on any amount of additional coverage for any mods and they'll cover it. OP sorry to hear about the car... why didnt the truck stop? texting?

i have xxr 502's like the other black one in that last pic, while i like the look of them, the "seperated" lip design makes the lip extremely suseptible to damage. in other words, if you drop a screwdriver handle first onto the lip, it will dent.... not sure how many of their other wheels...

Not really, the shortblock i swapped in was knockin like a sumbitch. So it hasnt been touched. I'm driving my srt-4 now. Im hoping over the winter i can get stuff to a machine shop/engine builder n just have them do everything. Unless i can find a built 7m shortblock for a good deal. Im not...
