Wishes I wasn't 3000 miles from them :(
Just started it up. Gonna get a Wawa milkshake then help my friend move out. Then wait for the pizza to get there.
Drained oil...
Looked at it and thought about driving it.
Posted it for sale on ebay... again
Dodge : Stealth Dodge : Stealth | eBay
I'll give you $3.50!
Tree fitty, what do you mean you gave him another tree fitty?
goddamn loch-ness-monster
Thought about driving it, as I walked past it to get more paint for all of work I am doing in the house. Then I got pissed as doing all of this work is what is keeping from driving the car!!!
nothing is quite as stress relieving (or potentially an aphrodisiac) as hammering it.Quote:

It was completely empty. So i started pouring my coolant in, half a jug later i hear water hitting the ground. I look underneath my car, and there goes all the coolant i poured. On to the ground. I also found what seems to be a metal cap, or maybe a coolant plug? I have no idea how the hell it fell off my cylinder head.
Freeze plug.Quote:

That will help, lets just hope that the freeze plug popped out easy enough that the expanding water did not brake anything while creating the pressure to pop that freeze plug.Quote:

Drove it around the block last night. Bought racing seats/brackets/harnesses today.
I'm about to have a whole lot of crap to install, heh.
you missed something in that list.... ;)Quote:

I hardwired the Blackstealth lcd boost controller in, and got it working well. Adjusted the headlights to better blind people. Installed, and adjusted the front splitter to level. Washed and waxed to find out I need to finally wet sand and buff her out...
Went to find the couch was empty of beer...
Got our $450 3000gt up and running, just the gas savings alone from not having to daily drive the truck should cover the cost of the car within a month. :lol:

And picked up some goodies from the powdercoaters :runaway:
Ha! I know that if I got them I'd just dump in race gas and turn my conrods into noodles. Rest assured that your turbos will be the center piece of my 2013/2014 build.Quote:

LOL in Australia we would pay atleast $8k for that car. Assuming it was registered and road worthy etc. Even an unregistered unroadworthy car would be a few thousand.Quote:

I like em how theu r. And ill get new wheels eventually.
Then spend a fortune converting them to RHD.. no thanks. Also for a car that age it might not be possible. Also import duties etc would make it far too expensive anyway. However I have thought about it for parts cars. Less taxes if it's not for road use.Quote:

My sl is done other then the lack of turbo. But now im getting some money togetger to buy a nice clean running 3000. Between 99 sl and 1g vr4. Depends what is around in my price range when time comes.
thought about parting it out once again. so much money, so many brand new parts. so much wasted time. about ready to say F@$% off stealth r/tt and bring on the 1jz power
I have a friend in a similar situation. About 30k in parts for his r/t tt and hes considering parting it out and buying supra.
i have a sc300 with a 1jzgte swap thats just begging for a big single and mods. im about ready to just part my ways with the beloved stealth. honestly lol
Although I love the 2JZ-GTE the JZA80 Supra us butt ugly. I personally prefer the older Supra the Mk III [MA70, GA70 and JZA70] but they only have the 1jz-gte, 7m-gte and the 1g-gte. However the 1jz is still a very underrated engine. The 7m is larger but not as reliable and the 1g is only 2 ltr.
I see 1jzs performing just as well as 2jzs on a regular basis. Alot of friends with 1jz swaps in there driftcars
Im trying how to change the tail lights bulbs!!!!!! ... i made every kind of mods on this car.. except bulb replacing.. im losssst !!! hahahahahaha!
Have 85% of the parts ordered for my winter/spring build. Pulled upper intake manifold this morning, starting to pull intercooler piping, then injectors/lower manifold this afternoon/evening.
(Then dash, center column, shifter assembly, exhaust, turbo's, t-belt) LOL.
waiting on parts for it :(
... waiting on parts is KILLING my timeline...
:33: timeline
3k tails are held on with 3 bolts each. they're all behind the rear acces panels. the tails just slide rearward once you have those nuts removed.Quote:

Correction, only two bolts hold the 3k lights in.
