I bought it some heater hose.
One of the last times I had it started the hose had split and I want to get new hose on it and get anti-freeze back in it so it doesn't freeze up.

I'd have the shop check them but don't have them shaved just for the heck of it.Quote:

Yesterday took off front bumper to reinstall a blown off fmic coupler. While I was at it, took off the front active aero which had seen better days. Re-installed bumper and drove it to a Halloween party with wife.
Wanted to tune the low rpm/high load area that I never see unless I have tq converter locked in. (Would hit these load cells, if I had it locked in cruising down the interstate and forget to unlock it for some throttle) Also curious on spool.........so I locked it in 3rd and did a pull until I hit fuel cut at my self imposed boost limit (that's the lean spike at end)....

Not bad tq for a little junkyard 4cyl;);) (That's with .5-1* of timing at the peak). It's very "responsive", but not fast....at all. Which is to be expected for a single 14b and 3400lb car. Can't wait to trade some "responsiveness" for actual HP and rpm.
Obviously, a bit lean for 20+psi but that's why I did the pull:)
Along came Poly... :suspect:
Working out details/plans for the rear stuff, but this is a start. Ordered a small heater for the garage as well, and a new scale for shipping and measuring with.
I finally caved & purchased some SS pre-turbo intlet pipes, got the old flywheel & butchered rear engine plate off, & got my nicely redone plate installed...Now on to the fun task of getting the transaxle back in without scratching the new paint & powder coating.
I don't know the history of the heads for the first 80k miles so prior damage is possible. I would imagine that is common for most of heads out there at this point. Not sure how else to explain leaking valves 40k miles later after new VSS. Perhaps bad installation? I've only disassembled, never installed so I'm not sure if they can be messed up only to show itself 40kmi later.Quote:

Gave the subframe it's first pass of wire wheeling and some paint thinner, did the work to one of the control arm bushings. Going to make some brief video walk throughs of how to do the poly front end stuff.
Going to get back out there and under the car before long to work on the underside of the car...So. Much. Awfulness.
The shop that did my heads didn't seat the VSS good enough (if at all) so they popped off the guides. You can pull the valve covers and see if you have a few that popped off. Are you smoking at idle?Quote:
