arturiusma7 06-17-2006 02:28 PM

NashMan 06-18-2006 08:20 PM

well at lest that kidna goood
now go fix ti

arturiusma7 06-19-2006 01:40 PM

its all good now. but now i have a new problem lol.. im hitting fuel cut at like 13 psi.. which im thinking is normal so im not worried about that.. but my wastegate is staying open... ill punch it throw first, then shift to second and itll stay open.. and my car is a slug... it happens in all gears... or even if i hammer it then let off the throttle then go back on it, not even WOT it stays open.. ugh.. i dont think it would be the MBC.. because its still hitting 10 psi or so..

NashMan 06-19-2006 06:56 PM

you paint it yet?

NashMan 06-24-2006 09:05 AM

ooops all have to change it

islandsupra 06-25-2006 05:13 PM

I finally started working on my car a little bit. I haven't gotten brave enough to tackle the dash yet... well truthfully I just don't really care enough right now to commit myself to the time to do it.

I think I am going to take the insurance off next week, I really dont need the car up here. The only places that arent within a 15 min walk are the lakes and stuff, which are all gravel roads anyhow.

But I started taking things off under the hood for cleanup and paint... nothing fancy just medium black so it doesn't look like ass anymore, and some fun with the wirewheel... I might do a little polishing if I get the motivation or else it's just getting hit with a rattlecan/powdercoated if I can get a hold of the guy up here.

arturiusma7 06-25-2006 06:40 PM

well my supra is off the raod now. sporting a nice 87 sprint. 5 spd. oil pan is leaking like a MUTHER so i gotta fix that tomorrow.. right now its going through a Litre a day so...

Enraged 06-25-2006 07:56 PM

wicked, sprints never die

hows my old one rueben?

islandsupra 06-25-2006 10:10 PM

she's a beaut, that's for sure.... I took it to the gym yesterday. Johhny is liking it, I'm wishing I bought it (supra is coming off the road now, i'm gonna start taking stuff apart slowly)

I really want to rip the door off for some reason??

Paradox 06-25-2006 10:49 PM

thats 'cause springs dont need both doors to be fast!

weight savings, man...

Enraged 06-26-2006 03:04 PM

haha good to hear its holding up. he change the oil yet? i never did when i owned it, didnt even change the filter. just kept pouring in oil whenever it got low :)

arturiusma7 06-26-2006 05:56 PM

wow im so pissed off.. the sprint slapped me in the face. what i thought was a leaky oil pan gasket, turned into a whole different situation. 3 holes are stripped, one head broken. soooo im so screwed :) and my supra is in victoria and im in vancouver!

Enraged 06-26-2006 06:42 PM

tap and drill. or duct tape.

arturiusma7 06-26-2006 06:54 PM

im thinking really aggressive machine screws :D

islandsupra 06-26-2006 10:50 PM

that would be awesome lol...
weld it!!

arturiusma7 06-27-2006 04:48 AM

wow it sounds like it has knock now too.. lol i took it for a spin this morning to see how bad its leaking. which surprisingly its not leaking very much.. i was going about 80kmh in 3rd so it was revved up pretty good. i think i might try and sell itfor 400 and see if i can get it out of my driveway.. find something else.

NashMan 06-27-2006 06:52 AM
