    looking for a good deal on a A340 or r154 swap

    yea once i figured out the interlocking pins, the thing flew back together. turns out i didn't need the ones i had to wait for, i had planned ahead and put them all in a baggy. I just forgot that I did that. Doh!

    Hall of Shame?

    Who really cares? Its some guy posting up his pic collection and catagorizing the way he wants. Its not like its a very publicized site, i've never seen it until today. The guy's got his opinions, if he doesn't like your personal car so what? Thats his problem. I just don't see why...

    I am having the hardest time reinstalling my R154. How do you guys do it?

    yea, you definitely have to jack up the front of the motor. that and an extra body or two really helps.

    Alumina wheels?

    because the manufacturing costs on each bearing for the motorcycle wheel is $10,000. So you're looking at a pure manufacturing cost of $40,000 just for the bearings. Not to mention that an automobile has a LOT more weight than a bike, so who knows if those bearings would even hold up. My...

    Thanks pete, we both kinda hit that point in our lives where this shit town of corvallis wasn't going to cut it for us. I'll probably come back next fall and finish up my schooling, but I have absolutely zero want to stay in the willamette valley for any longer than that (minus portland)...

    R154 Rebuil help

    ok, another question- page MT80, when it says to insert the locking balls and the interlock pin? Can anyone elaborate more on this? I've been trying to figure out what the hell they want me to do for about an hour and a half, and can't figure out how to do / what they're saying.

    anybody else have one of these old school TRUST air filters??

    When I installed a GReddy turbo kit on my buddy's miata, it came with a filter exactly the same in style. It was a HUGE piece of shit, and we switched over to a k&n one instead. However, if you do want to look into keeping thait, look to Greddy to see if they've got replacement foam.

    R154 Rebuil help

    the bearing sits very firmly in the center housing, but the shaft has probably 3-4mm in axial play. I'm guessing its okay, but it would be nice to know for sure before i get the whole thing reassembled!
