JEEZ! Makes me want a Celica so bad. Especially that first one.

Welp, it looks like it won't suffice, at least not for every job. I tried welding onto some thick steel under my MR2, and it just wouldn't penetrate. I'm not surprised, because it was only a 70amp welder. So I bought a bigger one: Also, finally chose a location for the oil cooler- right...

I agree, but I sometimes need the cigarette lighter to charge my phone, so... I like the new location for the cig lighter, Doon.

Just a teeny little Craftsman 115v welder. I only really need it for exhaust work, so it should suffice.

Looks like a good, solid starting point. Good luck!

PS- Just picked up a mig welder for the upcoming exhaust work.

Hey...HEY! I'm still here. Just because a guy doesn't update his build thread in a few weeks- doesn't mean he's gone. Well, in a way it does. I've been out of town(and the country, at times) since the second week of last month, working. They let me home for 24 hours today, and I go back out for...

I was in Bahamas last week, and no, it does get better than there. Was in Grand Cayman and St. Kitts this weekend, and I would say that St Kitts is the better choice. Better exchange rate, too. Ps- not that this has anything to do with the present conversation, but... Did you figure out...

In crystal river, right now. Not too bad here

Well, part of the oem restriction is the path that the air has to travel. Oem, it travels up into the top of the airbox, then down through the restrictive filter, and then towards the maf, going from square at the box, to round. That can cause turbulence.

If the mains are true to the block and there was no debris under the bearing, then its probably a crank journal with a touch of taper. Thats assuming this is a main bearing. If its a rod bearing, it could also be a bad rod.

Should probably ask the mods to move this to WTB, or maybe the regional forum for NorCal. You'll get better exposure there.

Hmm. I dont see Indigo's comment here now, but he mentioned having the walbro 400 like you, but i had assumed that you hadnt had the chance to run yours yet. I think i'm pretty much sold on either the Deatschwerks 301 or the Aeromotive stealth, myself.

Indigo- how do you like the Walbro 400? How is the noise compared to the 255?

LOL. This is exactly true.

Um, yeah...I'm sure that you can indeed fill my hole...for the right price, right?

Not much going on- Just got my new speedo cable... I noticed that the end is slightly different than the original, as you can see. It doesn't look like it'll fit into the lower bracket like it should. I may have to add a bracket.

How do you freshen up rod bearings? Hit em with some Febreeze? I just replace them. And on a more serious note, you would have to pull the crossmember to access them in-car. it'd just be easier to pull the motor. I have done it in my MR2, but that car has no crossmember; you just unhook...
