    Facime's Mk2 build

    Are you kidding?????? That car looks damn nice for $1500, as long as the head gasket is not already blown. But remember Lucy? Didn't she break down on the way home? I'd do a compression test before handing over any cash. That car is beautiful inside and out, and the bay is also very nice. What...

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    Haha.......Jay is scared of a Mazda 6! You need not even go over 3lbs of boost for that one! I would have been more worried about not being able to show the firemen a good show. I guess I've rested enough, I gotta go back out and finish.

    Facime's Mk2 build

    Pete, I love the blue one that you stated was your favorite MKII color. It's everybody's fav because it is the best MKII color. Offer $1400, and explain you have a $1500 budget, and need to use $100 for gas to get it home. Even firm people can be a little flexible when a hard offer is made, and...

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    So far today, I have removed the driveshaft, and lowered the tranny. The purpose for these was to swap out the tail shaft on the tranny and re-work my speedo cable. These are finished, and I'm taking a break after getting the driveshaft back into the tail of the tranny. I still have to bolt up...

    My car is a POS whats wrong with it?

    As I ststed before, if you starter wire is not strong enough to get the signal back to your ECU, it could cause a code 43. I bypassed my starter wire, as it was too weak to get my car to start. I'm currently changing my harness to get rid of code 43, and a couple other codes due to a weak ass...

    Tranny questions while I break from pulling driveshaft

    OK, I now have answers to almost all questions I asked plus those asked of me. Thanks to all that have helped. Cuel had the tip that helped. I was pulling the drive shaft, and dropping the tranny mount to do a couple of small projects. My tail shaft on the tranny was not completely round, and...

    Tranny questions while I break from pulling driveshaft

    OK, checking back in before I go back to pulling on my shaft. This has been a great response with a lot of helpful hints to follow. Never before have I seen so many helpful hints and so much humor all in such a short time period. Thank you all for the help. I will get back with an update soon.

    Tranny questions while I break from pulling driveshaft

    I am working on several issues with my car today, and have come in to ask a few tranny questions. First and most important: 1. I am having trouble pulling the driveshaft all the way out of the tranny. It seems to be almost off of the spindle, but won't move any further. I know that it is...

    FireFox 3 is going for the World Record

    I wish it would actually form itself like AOL, so I can get the rest of my family away from AOL. I want that shit off of my computers. But they want the ease of AOL, and the ability to IM with all of their friends. I LOVE Firefox myself, and loath the time I spend on AOL to get my e-mail sorted...

    Need help with 1.5jz build

    I think it was just trying to warn the neighbors that it will OWN very soon. As for the break in, don't even start to believe that leaving the boost gauge unhooked qualifies for NO boost for at least 1000 miles.

    Interior Color - Grey or Dark Grey?

    Shadow grey is the MOST misunderstood option on these cars. Many parts are sold under this name, and unknowing buyers attach that name to their parts not knowing the difference. I've seen so many different colored grey things advertised as "shadow", that I'm so confused myself.

    overheating? no water?

    Thanks for the explanation Cuel!(BTW..Love the Avatar) But, why in real world applications do many people get away with having the head shaved, and slapping it back on, with little other work. I don't say this to argue with you, just trying to get good insight from someone I trust as very...

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    The realization that I "probably" can't get a Plenum/manifold gasket today lead to another failure. Fatigue set in, and I used that as my excuse to not worry about swapping my clips to the new harness last night. If I can't put the plenum back on, I still have a little time before I need the...
