Must be Summer in the Northern Hemisphere

[IJ.]

A lot of cars are coming out of Winter hibernation and promptly dropping their guts either at the track or on the Dyno!

Add what happened and what the future plan is.

Just curious to see if there's a trend that could lead to a resolution.

I was hot-dogging my 1UZ-FE car after putting the LSD in the rear and the next day I was about to go get fuel and the o rings in the Howe throwout bearing assembly blew out... again... this will be no. 4. Only real big pain to pull the trans is dealing with the dual exhaust, other than that it pulls out quite easy.

So, to fix these issues I'm going with a Quarter Master throwout bearing assembly, and putting a Blitz Nur Spec Cat back on the car for much easier future removal of the trans, but with some hope the QM will hold up and I won't need to pull it off for a while.

Not at the track but with soem track time and street use my crank pulley decided to get a divorce and seperate. Fix? ATI Super Damper. Shes up and running again for me to break more shit.

Nothing to break if it doesn't move

Last weekend my buddy got a 180sx(rhd) and we went out for a spirited drive out to a boat launch in my locale. Sure enough on my way back, after running the car a little hard, i blew the headgasket again for my third time now, only two months after my previous blowout.

The fix? Finally gotta do a proper rebuild and pull the motor, put some arp studs and a 1.2mm Metal headgasket, to make sure this never happens AGAIN!!!!!

Proper would be to measure the head & block and use the correct MM headgasket VS throwing a 1.2mm at it before you know what you need. Just some food for thought.

Eh, mine is leaking a bit of power steering fluid I suspect, but that's the last 7m remnants on my car, so I'm not surprised. 20+ years without a refresh or anything... I drive mine all year though, so has nothing to do with summer in my case.

Although strangely, I found a few small allen wrenches/keys and an old rusty nail beside/under my car the other day. Beginning to wonder if someone was trying to fuck with my car... will be getting a camera to monitor the driveway/front yard area soon I think.
