uh...huh? 'cause like. someone who owns a beamer must know alot about cars...especially Japanese ones!

I do too...A little birdy whispered it in my ear. Funny little bird had this big shit eating grin on it too! like this one--> :biglaugh: SS for the win!

I wouldnt mind coming up for a Portland M&G sometime, but Swaq and I have been talking about getting a mid valley thing happening. I think we would like to strengthen the community down here a little. There isnt ever a whole lot in our area, and Im pretty sure we can get at least a few of us to...

The latest post on that sight was nearly 2 months ago. Knects usually knows what going on and Speed Dodici works at Carquest, I'll ask him to ask there and I'll stop by Knects tomorrow, I need to get some vacuum line anyway. I was thinking a Newport or Waldport run would be fun. Or a run up...

Sweet, lets pick a weekend. Maybe we can find out if there is any other auto or even non-auto events coming up and plan it for the same time. I'll see what I can find out.

Im about 95 percent sure all the vac lines are fine. there may be some hidden ones I didnt see, but I pulled everything I could see, vac pump tested em, clipped the ends and reinstalled. The one thing I still want to replace is the heater vsv, it doesnt seem to be working. Im not sure but if...

I hadnt noticed this one around before but but recently there has been a white 89+ turbo that parks at the house on the SW corner of Western and 35th. Anyone know who this is? I was thinking about stopping and knocking at the door...lol

Well, now that I got Lucy sorted out, and the last batch of wings are in the works, Im gonna start on my cowl lift on my spare stock hood. Ive been thinking about it and I think I might even be able to pull off a functional open cowl (I think more for heat vent than anything else). Im hoping...

LOL! I know what causes compressor surge, Im just not sure how to fix it. The car came with a Blitz SSBOV mounted just past the IC. Ive adjusted the spring as soft as it will go...took care of high boost surge, but still have low boost surge, basically anything under 2lbs. If I could find a...

Oh yeah, and I shimmed the gate :biglaugh: just enough to get over what the big ass FMIC took away, +1 or 2 lbs. now, I just need to figure out my compressor surge.

OK...finally some good news from me. I think I may have fixed it. I swapped the fuel tank out today. The one that was in there had been punched in a little (like maybe someone backed over something) and in doing so took out the pump to look at it. It was not entirely seated in its bracket, and...

Ok, before I get ragged for not searching, I want to say that I have read at least 20 threads on heat soak and/or hot start problems on here and SF. The majority of those threads point to CPS, coilpacks, and FPU VSV. Ive tested, replaced and/or rewired all those parts. In addition I have...

wow...I was gonna ask the same thing. Im wondering if doing that would solve my compressor surge problem. Edit: ok did some reading, and I think someone put the hard spring in my BOV, and I think I need the regular spring. The adjustment plate is all the way out, and I think its still to...

Ok, swapped the FPR, ISC and the coil connector wires. Started up and went for a drive. Upon return, let car sit for 3 minutes then tried to start it...same thing, wont start. Tried pulling the vac hose off the FPR, no change. Also got a chance to lube and adjust the BOV. It acually works...

who is John Lunsford?

Yeah I have been Tim, I havent gotten to dan's pipe yet though. Im hoping to get that done tonight.

For The Win

It did not solve my hot start (failure to hot start that is) problem. Car starts and runs like a raped ape when cold though. :naughty:

I keep hoping that when its all fixed and working properly that it seems worth it.

OK, well, I fixed the exhaust leak, changed the plugs, CPS (solder connection) coil packs, fixed what might have been intake leaks, and cleaned and checked some other electrical connections. Problem still exists...once the car is hot it will not restart until it is dead cold. Im gonna...
