mr2turbo · 11-10-2006, 07:43 AM

I'm waiting on oil and coolant lines from ups

robs90tsi · 11-10-2006, 03:01 PM

ah, mines driveable but i have a HUUUUUUGE exaust leak, stripped 02 housing stud, only 1 nut holding the downpipe on, leaks like a bitch, im waiting to find a good ported 2G mani, and a good ported 2G 02 housing and a new downpipe so i can fix it, as well as a trans that pisses me off, its notchy as hell, just got it rebuilt and its still notchy, just got a symborski shift kit im gonna install tomorrow as well as adjust my super sloppy shifter

mr2turbo · 11-11-2006, 01:39 PM

I got a o2 housing with a dump pipe if you wanna buy it for cheap I also have a 2g mainfold with egt bung, I don't think it's ported though I'll sell them to you cheap

kraka · 11-12-2006, 10:18 PM

My cars never done....

My battery relocation isnt bolted down, so it moves too much....Car gets body damage fixed tomorrow.....Still have a nasty misfire I need to fix up top.....Car is venting temporarily, and doesnt like that on the highway......Eprom is set to a 2g maf but I need a new working 2g maf which wont come till the end of the week or alter....Need clutch and brakes....

I dono what else...I put so many miles on this thing, I put 600 in a week I think....Its at 80,650 miles right now....

You guys will all get another chance to see it tho....I havent really hung with anyone Lake County wise since the turbo upgrade....ITs a very different car....

Studderbox = Scare the shit out of Hondas...And whoever else pulls up next to me at the stoplight

To be honest, I have mini-meets every week with my friends who live a tad more south...I was with about 15 dsm's on Saturday, 8 on thursday and thats pretty typical...

Problem is they're too lazy to come up North....I may be able to get a few....I'll ask on dsmtalk, which is our central meeting place.....Our thread we have is now the longest running thread I can think of on that site....We have over 1600 posts total in 1 thread....It gets updated evey few minutes with plans on our next meeting place, what we did over the weekend, and updates with our cars....

robs90tsi · 11-12-2006, 10:23 PM

dude josh when did u get an eprom? Or body damage, what did u do? My symborski shift kit is in, the cables on the shifter end adjusted, they were way off, shifter still a little notchy in 1-4, a little better but not much, the shifter is super sold thanks to those metal bushings, they make a lot of difference, and the underhood shifter bushings arrive wednesday, and the new exhaust mani and 02 dump will be around hopefully this coming weekend, if they are what they are said to be. Bolt them up to the new turbo, get the downpipe next week, and ill be ready for injectors, and a tune.

You kidding me? I'd expect to see that in the Stealth, but the laser....What a bitch...

The eprom is just sick....My new 2g maf and harness will be here monday or tuesday, the relocation still needs to be mounted and the rewire still needs to be finished....

Body damage is fixed but new paint vs. old paint....What a bitch, its pretty obvious the door has newer paint then the rest....Still a super clean 1g tho

Spec Stage III will come next...$300 shipped is too good of a deal to pass up

Well, for a while he was quite cautious b/c he had reason to believe it might've been tampered with b/c he's never sold a faulty product....But I explained who you were and your reputation in the community and I think he trusted me after that....

He found just like you pointed out, that the ground and power crossed inside the harness and this started all the problems....

Hes sending me a new maf harness, a new 2g maf, and re-embursing me for the (2) 2g maf's I blew in the process....Good guy, I gotta give a shoutout to his porting skills/business now in return tho

robs90tsi · 11-19-2006, 12:15 AM

hey josh what happened to your door?? And i also heard your having problems with the car just basically shutting down under load at around 5K RPM's? Anyway new mani and 02 look great thanks to mr2turbo, GREAT deal, now i just need to bolt them up to my 16G and put it on..... underhood shifter bushings are in, they make a big big difference.

kraka · 11-19-2006, 10:14 AM

Im having major hesitation issues...Not a simple issue, Ive been talking to wisemen on the phone and online for days.....

It seems like just a small jerk, but diagnosing it has been a pain
