Its totalled, just got it running for the hell of it. frame's bent before the axles. still drives straight tho, i was actually thinking of haulin it up to the auto x for some fun but with no fenders, bumper, headlights, fan shroud, and a bent frame i don't think it would pass the tech.

What the **** did you do to that poor car? Give me the engine and tranny

 

you goofy bastard....

 

will be in Arizona hikin the grand canyon..
wont make it

 

I want to run my TII. Oh well, I'll just have to wait until next time. Looks like Berry and I will be showing up in the Scion.

Zach

 

you can have the engine and tranny for ummm 1000 bucks. It is NA you know.

 

That's right Jake, make that money!! I found out that I can't use my paypal account. So I'll have the cash for you this weekend if I make it down there or at the meet at the VERY latest. Sorry that it has taken me so long. I feel bad for that.

Zach

 

U best be comin down this weekend! EWW i just passed the gas station and almost threw up $2.77 for premium. I'd almost rather ride a bike.

No worries about the money, just get it to me when you can. If you bring it to the auto x then i can use most of it for the entry fee.

 

That's true. Not a bad point. I just wish that I could run in the AutoX. I don't think that the Scion would put up very impressive numbers though. haha

Zach

 

when are you getting the water pump?

i'm sure we could get your car together before then if we used our time wisely.


on a side note, my Rtek 1.5 came in today and i'm about to install that and hook up my new used T2 AFM that came in today also as well as re hook up the SAFC2.

 

oh, and Jake, do you have an air compressor and impact gun with 2 1/8" socket for the flywheel nut removal? let me know before tomorrow so if we need it i can grab mine from work.

 

I have an air compressor but no impact gun/socket. So yes please grab one from work! Thanks so much. What time do you fellas want to start on saturday. I would like to start by 10, but it's up to you guys. I have an interview with a UTI (tech school) rep at 6:30pm so I was hoping we could get most of it done before then. I think we may be able to get it done in one solid day of work. I figured it would be easier for the guys who have to drive if they don't have to come back the next day. But it's really up to you.

I have one Hydraulic jack and two jack stands. I also have some ramps around here somewhere. Whatever tools you think we will need i would suggest bringing them just in case i don't have it.

 

I don't feel like getting flamed for making a thread in the 2nd gen section so...
What does everyone think of these seats? Look decent?

I think they look pretty good. looks like the part in front of your *** like under your legs sits up a bit high though. Maybe it's just me though. i dunno, other than that they look sweet.

 

good luck on the swap mang!

Rtek 1.5 and SAFC2 hooked back up, i tuned it to the n/a AFM and i feel ~+20-30 HP increase, most noticably in 4th gear. the upper gears were lacking but feel a little bit more alive now. currently running at 8.5PSI boost, i don't want to go higher until i get the Walbro installed then i will pull the silencer out of the exhaust and do a bit more fine tuning, right now it is roughly tuned and i need to put the T2 AFM on.


send me some directions to your place Jake. depends on if Zach is going as well and when we can meet up and head down is when i will be available to start working.

Zach, lemme know if you are heading down. would be a bit more economical if we just ride together, lemme know.


i brought my 1/2" impact from work and i will bring my 2 1/8" socket also, try to dig up another pair of jackstands.

 

Looks like I won't make it. I got notified this morning that I have to go in to work around noon to give some members of the Japanese Air Force a tour of the Global Hawk and the supporting systems. It really sucks being the knowledgeable one sometimes!! Sorry that I can't make it Jake.

Zach

 

Zach, i'll be heading down again tomorrow morning to help try and get it back together, if you can help out let me know and we can ride together. a bit more work than i was expecting since i have 0 FD knowledge.

 

yea zach you should come down tomorrow

 

man, missing out on fun again. going to a dirty girlz meet in sac tomorrow. and maybe meet up with a new crew too. i think dan still has that socket for the flywheel nut. i got a 1/2 in gun but its at work though.
jake, think twice about uti. i know some people that went there and all they could say is that its a waste of time and money. you're probably better off at the gm program in delta college or the ford asset program i'm in.

 

Sorry guys. The Air Force decided to take up my whole weekend. So is the FD a fully functional 5 speed now?

Ben, I'm getting my water pump, thermostat, and housing from Mazdatrix. It's going to be right under $300 for everything with all of the seals.

Zach

 

It's close to being a fully functional five speed, just gotta get alll the stuff back on the engine, bleed the clutch line, bleed the coolant, fill up the fluids, and get the brake pedal in and we're all good to go.

thanks again ben you saved my boring automatic life from sure destruction!

 

Glad to hear that it's almost finished. Did Dan come and help out too? I'm sure that he would be very valuable since he knows the FD. I wish I could have come down. I feel bad that I couldn't.

Zach

 

...yeah I can't go sadly ....oh well I'll drive down to San Fran and pick up my fd alt that day :P
