Mobile internet my friend, mobile internet! On a side note though, did have a minor setback with the build. When I dropped in the crank, girdle and rods I ran into a slight issue, the assembly was binding pretty nasty so I pulled everything appart and mic'd everything. Rod number two (that spun...
:DHAHA! Right! Nah the wife and I have our own place, but they did move into the same complex as us :D On a side not I did finally get the parts to complete the job! Made a trade or two with a buddy!
Right on! :hellyeah: that's what little brother and I were saying :rocks: unfortunately dude's an ex cop so, yeah he's got a few friends in high places. I mean we have got alot of friends in low places :ninja: but...... I don't think it would turn out so good for us LOL I mean this dude's got...
Well Ive ran out of finances to finish the engine. Ive got a new refurbished crank, pistons, full gasket set etc etc etc. but am missing a few critical but expensive parts, I think i'm at the point where I am just going to say screw it, cut my losses and walk away. This was my main source of...
I feel your pain brother. My headache just got bigger! Alright guys I need an answer pretty fast here I gotta get this damn thing put back togher asap. I totaly forgot about the thrust bearing from last time I rebuilt this sucker so I ordered the thrust bearing for a 92.5 to 97.5 block with the...
Trying to take it in stride, it's not easy but im trying. Well we don't have a engine crane so were taking it down in pieces so we can just lift the block out by hand (being poor sucks) plus were just going to do a complete rebuild, ive got a complete set of internals sitting on the bench so I...
Well it finnaly happend. Spun a bearing on number 2 cylinder. Only had about 35000 miles on the rebuild 2 years ago. Thankfully my buddy josh (shadowtsi) happend to be over at my spot when this happend. I swear this dude is a MONSTER with these engines. Well anyway here are some pics from the...
So long story short, life situation has changed and I needed a bigger car so the wife and I head over to the local dodge dealer here in vegas. We make a deal with them on a 03 explorer, we give them 500 dollars cash for a down payment and the title for the eclipse as a trade in. We sign all the...
Well, that flush got a few more months out of the trans. Wasn't expecting it to last too much longer any way, it is a chevy after all :D It finnaly took a MAJOR dump on me today. My little brother and I borrowed the car to go pick up my nephew (little brother's son) because we cant fit the...
Here's another idea. Take your car to a specialty frame shop (yes they actualy do exist). Look for one that uses a laser alignment rack. They should be able to straighten out any damage without causing anything further. Its a shame your not out here in vegas, we have some awesome shops here. I...
deff. could use a 2g talon, not so sure about the avenger. It has the same doors / dash and shares many of the same parts. It is possible but I would go take a very close look at one and take a few measurements before cutting anything.
The "flutter" sound you are talking about at low boost is actualy called "compressor surge" it is basicly when your BOV does not open in a timely manner causing airflow to back up and stall the compressor(turbo) which can cause damage to the tubocharger. Not a very nice thing to have happen...
So why didn't you call the police? Last time I checked what he did is called "destruction of private property" or simply "theft from a vehicle" OBVIOUSLY in excess of $250.00 which is a felony! (atleast here in NV) I feel for ya, I realy do. Just don't get involved physicaly with him, it will...
Alright guys and girls, post up your pics of rare cars from around town or anywhere! I guess Ill go first. Well I rolled into work earlier to find a frickin delorean just sittin in my parking lot! MEGA COOL! I know the quality is kinda crap but its taken with a cell phone and a flashlight :hellyeah:
I'm going to snap some pics and maybe a movie clip or two for you guys when I get home in the morning (darn thing called work) This thing realy is gosh darn funny. To be honest with yall, after that kid started laughing so hard, me and my buddy (not the ricer) who was with me pulled over in the...
Simple my friend, its a terrible condition called "riceritis" mixed with idiocy :hellyeah: Plus I think he's seen the fast and the furious a few too many times! Dude he just bought an 07 grand prix today and it's starting with that car already! went down to the muffler shop and had a cat back...
Ok so here's the deal. My buddy gave me a 2003 hyundai accent gt. I realy do appreciate the sentiment on his part. He wanted it out of his driveway and no one else he knows would take the thing. I'm trying to decide what to do with the damn thing, it realy is a total P.O.S. i.e. NO interior...
Ah, you'r not being rude. Personally I preffer it in gloss black too, but eh, it is what it is. Though I do miss the nice gloss paint on her, she looked soo good :sosad: Maybe I'll spray her again when I get some extra cash laying around. :aha: maybe even paint her up like the General Lee from...
I deff. understand the budget thing. Being poor sucks, I'm cursed with the same fate :D Question for ya though, how long did it take for the rustoleum to dry? and what did you cut it with?
Worst thing that happended after I got a DSM eh? alright gotta good one for ya. 1st DSM I ever bought,
beautiful, low mile 91 Plymouth Laser RS turbo, completely stock, light blue with metal flake, GORGEOUS CAR! 1st week, trans half case cracks, replace that, clutch goes, replace that. 2nd...
Mine cost me 11$ is that any better? ROFL Basicly only cost me 11$ because I already had all the other supplies left over from back when I painted her last year. Honestly, a flat black out of a rattle can usualy looks horrid because there is no prep work and people dont usualy know how to lay...
You wouldn't happen to be venting the blow off valve to the atmosphere would you? This will cause a rich condition at light throttle/deceleration situations and can cause the "bucking" you are talking about. Feels kind of like the car is slightly jerking back and forth.Unless I'm totaly...
Good job on whacking that coon man! WOOHOO! One less varmint to cause an accident. You should see what a Jack rabbit does to an ebay bumper. TOTALY OBLITERATED THE PASSENGER SIDE! Note to self. Don't buy ebay.But uh yeah, nice aim brother!
+1 on the turbo possibly. I'd run a compression and leak down test just to be on the safe side. No coolant in your oil or oil in your coolant????? recent engine work? has the head been off the block recently?
Dude, check around you'r clutch master cylinder on the firewall, inside the car and under the hood for leaks and check your slave cylinder for leaks. 9 out of 10 times one of these two are the culprit. one of these leaking out while the pedal is depressed will cause you'r pedal to stick to the...
BINGO! Ya hit the nail on the head:D Unfortunately, I work airport security for now, ya take what you can get these days. Been working there for about a year, people are pretty nice, no buddy ever bugs me and I get to kick it with the pilots most the time. I mean it's a far cry from turning a...
That would actualy be pretty sweet! Probaly help get rid of that cheap interior feel. Wouldn't have a clue how to even begin a project like that though.
You just answered you'r own question, you need to adjust you'r clutch pedal for free play at the top. Just search "clutch pedal adjustment" there are plenty of write ups on it. My clutch did the exact same thing when I put it it 2 years ago, little clutch pedal adjustment and problem solved...
I say we assemble a search and rescue team, head to california, AND TRACK HIM DOWN!I kinda miss the dude as well, he deleted my first avatar :( and I liked that angry monkey picture so much!
Don't worry yall he'll be back, he always pops in when least expected. Dude's probably off kickin it...
+1 on the grenade! :hellyeah:It's actualy kinda funny in a weird sort of way. but deff. a big no no. :nono:
I think thats a way to get pulled out and beat down as well, though I have no room to talk. Back when I had my old jeep cherokee, I rigged up the rear window sprayer to "piss"...
well, I was bored at work (again) snapped some more pics, I know they will never be as cool as an f-16 or an AC-130 but it's my little slice of heaven, so why not share, right? got a few oddballs herecouple old fighters, a couple kit planes, and my favorite a Piagio (kinda looks like a catfish I...
DROOL You were not kidding those things are frickin AWESOME! I swear I would work a whole day WITHOUT pay just to see one of those land/take off! But alas, we never get anything that cool at my airport :( the biggest we ever get is a Citation or maybe a Piagio if were lucky on a good day we...
While driving around at work last night, we actualy got some rain in vegas :hellyeah: so I snapped some pics for yall. got some pretty cool effects with the rain goin. Or at least I think so. Were supposed to have a mitsubishi prop come in tonight around 1ish so I'll see if I can snap some pix...
The wife and I rebuilt it when we got the car 2 years ago oem everything top to bottom except for the valve cover and the topline revised lifters (for those of you wondering, yes the still tic when cold)
Wow! wasn't actualy expecting any one to chime in here on this :rocks:jjrock5: engines got 40K on the clock, she's a 7 bolt. the engine herself is in pretty good shape.This is pretty much the kind of responses I would expect from our beloved DSM crowd, screw the body and build the...
well as im sure yall are aware my baby got keyed up and I took her flat black again, she doesn't look too shabby, so now I'm at a cross roads. Come tax time I get to decide wether to repaint her or build the engine up some more, so I figured I'd ask my buddies here for their opinions. So if yall...
Usualy this kind of question goes in the hangout area, but what the heck. 1st, weak spark from your coil, most likely bad ground, coroded terminal connections, or just a bad coil. 2nd no, a starter will not cause a weak spark totaly unrelated. There ya go. p.s. to check to see if you'r coil is...
run down the las vegas strip yelling at random "I AM THE GREAT CORNHOLIO" "ARE YOU THREATENING ME?" in a beevis and butthead voice. IDK im running out of material
Life is too short to live it clothesd, I kinda hate to admit it but some of the stuff in here actualy sounds like fun. either that...
Hey it's close enough! BTW sweet 1st gen! Oh you have grass! God I havent seen that stuff in years! ( i live in the middle of a desert)well, so much for that thread I think I just got merged LOL
Well I'm bored so lets post up some pics of our garages, man caves, DSM bedrooms, whatever yall wanna call them. I'll start Mines not big or pretty, but it is effective. Note the 16g sitting in the background waiting for it's new home on an exhaust manifold! :rocks:
