I know right. I was sweatin like a pimp in church. He was cool though. He said he had one years ago and was upse he let it go. He had an MKIV. We chatted for a bit and he looked under thhe hood. Told me my timing was off and I had 5min to get it home. I was only about 2miles from the house...

Well I guess I can update on my slow progress. Ordered a fan clutch today, got a refund on my HAC sensor (trying another member after I post), and called about finally transferring the title to get the car lega. I've put about 50 miles on it bobbin' up and down in my hood (got stopped once by...

LOL @ Rufus. I meant that vacuum sound as the money my car keeps asking for when I work on it. Like today....i took the tires off to have them balanced @ Discount Tire and I can clearly see that two rims are bent. Vacuum sound. Then I notice that it's not the OG rear subframe with some welding...

Ok...a little update on my progress (which is almost none). I ordered a HAC sensor which UPS seems to have lost. Got a tracking number that is was shipped but in Dallas warehouse somewhere. I've been driving her a little here and there around the hood but not too much....fan clutch not kickin in...

yeah mike I was tellin Rufus that we shoud try a small SA meet somewhere in llate Oct early Nov. I guess you saw my bouncy car run huh. I'm gonna try and swing some springs and shocks from The Bank-o-Andrea. That's cool you got your belt. You gonna have enough patience to wait this weekend to...

Well finally took the car outta the shed. First impression is that it ran pretty good. Very...ummm quite (right rufus). It shifted ok but man was i gettin sea sick. The suspension is shot. I think i'm riding on springs only!! Here's a vid. Rufus is the camera-phone man and that up and down you...

yeah ....i guess George & Weezy have moved on up to the Eastside. Looking down on us 7M'ers....the nerve of some people. We al don't have 2J pockets.

cool...that's a nice solution. I'll check around locally here first before internet it. Probably RTV or JBWeld it for now.

Ok so i got my oil leaks stopped. I'll confess...i didnt have a gasket or any nuts on the turbo oil drain tube. SOOOO Yeahh.....stupid but its fixed. So i have a new gremlin now. Watch the video. http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/3531/tux.mp4 Had a little drip then I tried tighening the...

It's not the oil filter housing. There's some sort of block off plate below it that leaking. When I put it on I thought about RTV'ing it or make a gasket but I couldn't remember if it had one or not. Sooo now that is leaking I guess I do.

Niiiiice!!!! you gonna be busy this weekend huh. Just keep it down because i'm camping @ yo crib this weekend. I'm working on those leaks now. Gonna be a pain in the azztray because im gonna have to take the turbo off.........................again! ---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ----------...

Well I found my leaks. The coolant was easy...it was the hose on the back of the head....can't believe i missed that one. The other is actually two oil leaks. 1 is from the turbo oil drain tube. It has a gasket (reused from the last last engine pull)and tightened to specs so i guessing the...

Ok people....the old man finally got the car running. I was really amazed that it started right up one the first crank. No smoke, good oil pressure, but didnt leave it on long enough to test to see if the clutch fan for cooling would cut on. Noticed two leaks....1 coolant and 1 oil. Coolant was...

LOL .... I can speak foo. I just didn't want to bother you coming back from your trip and having to put your kid back in school. I've been fighting this heat trying to get my car running. Turned it over today but have a major gas leak. I beleve I have some bad washers. Compression test looks...

Can anyone explain to me the reason for why you would want to change the connector on the intake manifold that feeds to the boost to a larger size? I hope I explained that correctly. I have two intake manifolds (7MGTE BTW) and one seems OG with a smaller connector nipple, the other is sorta...

Rufus, I'm moving along ok..kinda slow due to the heat. Ive been debating on re-installing the EGR valve on my car. Having a hard time finding one @ a descent price. But I'm moving on...fixing frayed wires, trying to find the right nuts & bolts. I decided to polish 3000 intake tube and...

I looked for it also while i was @ your crib....pretty quick look cuz it was hot as hell in the garage. It's no biggy. I should have gotten it when you offered. I got my radiator and working on putting the wiring harness now. Trying to repair alot of the frayed wires and broken insulation on...

Does anyone have an extra EGR valve with the piping? I'm almost done with putting my 7M back together but want to put the EGR back on due to it being deleted by the last owner.
