I run my turbo completely open with no filter or maf. But I had special titanium diamond compressor fins that chop up any bugs that come in so the hamsters inside have stuff to eat. Every once in awhile I throw a cheese wheel in there for them, but then the car stinks for a few days.

Oh well.

EDIT: Actually, as a true side note, I had a turbo sitting in my garage for awhile waiting for a rebuild and I picked it up and turned it upside down and apparently a squirrel had been hiding acorns in it. There was also a bunch of mouse poop in there. Hehe. THat would have been an interesting story if I actually bolted that thing up.

 

CRAWWWLINNGGG IN MY SKIIIIIN

 

Heh, I went out to put the front end on the other day and noticed some leaves bundled up behind the bumper support. Reached in to pull them out and I see a tail...a freaking possum tail. Alive and well and living in my bumper support! I chased him out and he hasn't been back since. Little bastard.

Neighbors probably thought I was nuts, standing in the drive way and yelling at my car, "this isn't your home! You can't live here!"

 

How long was the car sitting?

 

River i would think you were crazy too..but with the lil story behind it.. it really makes since..


what day is everyone puttin on their snow tires?

 

Well it had been sitting since April but the leaves (nest) showed up during or right after Ernesto came through. They weren't in there prior to the storm.

 

I don't think they make 19" runflats with snow tread. I guess I'll have use the truck instead

 

The ladybugs infested the Yard Ops building at Greenbelt. I took the snorkel offa the new GMC Silverado 2500HD Police Vehicle I was working on and fed a few through the intake.

It was allright when I revved up the engine, but I think I got one caught in the idle air passageways, because it idles roughly.

 

You mean people change tires based on the weather and season?!

 

how hard is it to patch a heater core. that something that could be fixed with JB weld? mine lets enough coolant out to create a soft mist. not like its leaking out all over my carpets or anything. new one costs 260 bucks

 

i think i prob have one or two to spare in my basement, you can have one if you bring me a burrito. FC right? everyone in MD has FCs

 

wrong car...this is my supra.

 

SUPRA PARTS ARE SOOOO EXPENSIVE!!!











Seriously though, bring me the heater core and I will patch it.

 

at least the sensor coil that runs the blower is only 25 bucks new. i just wanna patch it so its not toxic.

and i think i found out why my cars been running weird. i assume its not a good thing when theres a hole in the coolant overflow hose thats pointed straight at the ignighter when the radiator cap has as much tension as a wet tissue. replaced it in the parkinglot today. you KNOW theres a coolant problem when it only takes 20 minutes for yer radiator to go from steaming to ambient.

 

Anyone know who sells koyo radiator drain plugs?

And don't say koyo cause they don't seem to sell them seperately anywhere I've looked.

 

Wouldnt it just be a standard plug?

 

Nope, the stock plug doesn't fit.

 

I ment, cant you just go into the "HELP" section of advanced auto or something?

They always have a billion rad plugs

Is it a standard thread or somehting? cant you just use a bolt with RTV?

 

Good thing Crazy Ray's doesnt sell new parts.

 

I've got what broke off in the plug + some steel epoxy in there now. It seems to hold ok for now, but it scares the **** out of me. I'll check the help section, but somehow I doubt it.

 

the patched plug will hold. I got the same thing in mine. you can always get some radiator patch putty to fill it too. worst case, drill it out and tap it with a known size and just use a short bolt in it.

 

^ Agreed.

 

Anyone got a broken XBOX I can have?

I got one broken here and I want to see if I can make it work by combining the parts.

 

whats broken about it? i might be able to fix it.

i still got my original Xbox HDD if you need it. I cant use it for anything.

 

It's the power supply

Mobo might be dead too
