What did you do today to your 3/S?

I'm very confused at your PCV lines... It looks like you have both the front and rear valve covers running to the catch can....

So how are you pulling in fresh air and what is generating vacuum for the system?

Unfortunately that's not my car Was the only other photo that i have seen of the ARC plug cover - it is owned by someone who used to be well known in the UK , as far as i know its currently sitting covered up and not doing a lot, hasnt been driven in years

I'll try and pull up some more photos of his car if I can find them. I currently do not run a catch can at all and the PCVs are standard mitsubishi

I wonder if that line coming out the other side of the catch can is going to some sort of vacuum pump. If so, that is pretty much exactly how I would like to set my PCV system up. Right now I just have it set up with the DS connected together and both passenger side ports going to a temporary can. No smoking at all, until I am coasting in gear. I still haven't figured out if that points to VSS, turbos, or rings being what's causing the smoke. No oil in the catch can yet. Right now there is no vacuum on my PCV system, it's just open atmosphere.

It might be venting into the downpipe through one of those venturi things.

I've currently got mine temporarily venting to atmosphere and it smells like ass, it's eventually getting plumbed back into the intake.

Getting the motor out and cleaning out all that junk

[sergechronos]

Got a power bill that was double our normal, with our water and natural gas usage more than double what we've ever used before and started hearing the sound of water in the wall. Got the landlord over to check it out and he brought a plumber...Apparently we have a hot water pipe leaking under the concrete slab...Glad we don't have to pay for it as it sounds like they're going to have to tear up the concrete to get to the pipe. However, that puts me in a bit of a pickle since I have all of the suspension and steering components off of the car..

So..Anyone have any suggestion on how to roll the car out of the garage without any suspension components on it? I'm hoping to do this pretty cheaply, but not sure. At this point thinking maybe getting a few of those rolling dollies from Harbor Freight would do it. On the bright side, I needed to move my washer and drier into the garage anyhow and was going to have to lift them up and over the car, so this kinda works out but still requires spending money I didn't want to spend.

a floor jack at each end and some care can work if the exit isn't too rough.

Is there anything at the back to put it on? Far as I can tell there's just that thin metal lip that sticks down at the very back

the rear differential is a factory jack point. Is that all out too?

I jack by the tow hooks a lot too, but I'm not sure that'd be stable enough to risk moving it. You could build an adapter to bolt to the toe hook bolt holes. It'd be a little work, but cheap.
