Maybe these upgrades are to PREVENT what happened. I've been running the stock injectors for far too long, and I think pulling the hills on this road trip might have caused some detonation I couldn't hear. Given that all of the cylinders have miraculously low compression, it's not a stretch.

HOLY CRAP! I found some money! Time for upgrades? y/y?

Checked and double checked while waiting for the tow to the other shop. I'm getting a MAP reading on the AFC, so I know that's not the problem. I'm just really, really FUCKED right now, debating between towing it back to the bay for Ace to work on using your motor (does it have turbos? Y?) or...

It's not driveable at all. It smokes, it runs like shit, it doesn't boost, and I don't know WHAT the fuck I did to it. Just all of a sudden getting on the freeway BOOM.

That wasn't a good call to have to receive. Compression test results came back, 125 on 4 cylinders, 105 on 2. I just can't figure out what the fuck happened to blow ALL 6 cylinders compression at once, man. Going to have to call Aaron in a little bit here.

Well, I got it to this place that specializes in diesel turbo work that the tow truck guy recommended. He quoted me about 4.5-5 hours, so this is going to cost me a few hundred. Of course, I can't expect him to drop everything just because I'm from out of town, and even if the turbos got...

Sooooooooooooooooo. 40 miles east of Flagstaff Arizona on my my way home from spending a week in Oklahoma, my dear sweet car decides that now is a great time to stop boosting, pour oil into the intake AND the exhaust, and blow GIANT FUCKING CLOUDS of smoke across the freeway. So I'm stuck here...

The thread was locked yesterday, I believe. But yeah, tl;dr is that his HOA sold ALL the spaces to a parking company, and those bitches were booting cars and charging $140 to remove them. Dude dollied his car into his garage to keep it from being towed, parking company shit bricks. I really...

Nice monitor, Ace. I wish mine had the resolution.

I gotta come up some time and see this shit in person.

LOL, you guys crack me up. It's the strangest thing, though. It'll be cool one day, then the next it's trying to idle around 450 RPM. It's totally random.

Not yet, I don't think. The car won't idle for shit, though. Can't figure that one out. >.>

It was my subframe a couple months back. Fucking thing just dropped right in front of my house. Even the one I got from Tubbie was weak and had to be welded. Who says 1JZs don't have any torque?

Trying to get it painted, except the rear end is about to take a dive. I can hear it clunking on lefts. Time for a KAAZ LSD? Hey hey, you gave me one HELL of an engine as a basis. Still 180 across all 6 cylinders.

Huh, thought I posted I was in the LEFT lane...

YEEEAAAARGH. Went to the track tonight, got a new time slip. (I'm in the left lane) Also, epic new g/f, epic new place, and possibly an epic new job on the horizon. :D

Upped the boost to 1.3 bar with a GReddy PRofec B-Spec-II, everything else the same. I'm in the left lane.

And, for what it's worth, that was 7 beers and 4 shots of tequila. (At least, that's when I lost count.)

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! I missed this? Damn, I need to get back in the game. And no, I did NOT hurl on myself. The ground caught all of THE FURY! I'm never drinking in public again. :biglaugh:
