I hit 100K..anything I can do to keep her going
My little baby "Sunshine" just hit 100K original miles today..... I dunno if I should dance for joy or cry like a little baby who crapped his pants. So as the title says, anybody got any Viagra? She's hit retirement age, the Golden Years, so any little pill I can stuff down her intake that'll keep her purring would be helpful. Otherwise, she may not be approved for Social Security.

/\ Yea, mine have been smokin lately too. Only on a hard pull. And a wonderful max 6psi! Woo hoo! Gotta find the time to look for a possible vac leak. And yep, it's all stock, motors and turbos. Been savin for a new motor and takin it easy on her for the last couple of months. Thank god for daily drivers.
And I'm grateful that rzograbian took good care of her before I bought her from him. Otherwise, she may not have lasted this long.

What were your signs of dieing? do they not produce the same boost anymore?

boost issue help
I'm having secondary sequential boost problems. I've installed a used set of twins that claim to only have 7k on them, plus no boost issues, but I am still getting stuttering after 4k. At WOT when the secondary kicks in I am getting sttuttering, like the boost fluctuates i've replaced teh charge control solenoid with one that claims to issues and I've done the seq. simplification. I've added extra grounds to the car but i can't seem to solve this stuttering problem. Any one have any ideas? or at least soem cheap sequencial parts? thank you

No need for Viagra, regular multi-vitamins (aka regular oil changes between 2-3k, coolant flushes every year) and some Botox (the rest of the reliability mods) will keep her running for years.

It would be a good idea to perform some of the maintenance that is regularly neglected if it hasn't already been done......diff fluid, fuel filter, coolant. What mods do you have on the car? Would help to answer the question....ie, do you still have the original rad?
