I know, I have that extender on my TII's sensor.

I killed a sensor REALLY quick without it.



But if you move the O2 sensor further back you'll do better, and it will last a good while.





Anyway, I've had LC-1 units die, not the sensors, the LC-1 ITSELF.

Happens all the time apperently. Though Innovate fixes it for me

It's just a pain to be without one for a month while you mail it back and they fix it.

Ok well, I'm going to take a few more shots at this.


I need an engine for my GTU. If I don't find one soon, me and Tofuball are just going to rebuild mine with my 2 cores.

I'd much rather buy a known-running motor to stick in it, instead. Good (proved) compression, please. S4 or S5, NA or Turbo, doesn't matter. Anyone?

"some options may not be street legal in all states and may impair performance or mileage"

That is part of the disclaimer on the SCION commercial
glad to know that people can buy illegal, worse performing cars straight from the dealer

Today I'm just hanging out in my garage.

If anyone wants to come over for dinner, you're invited.

Also, if you want to trade tools

Call or PM if you need directions to the new place.

That car sucks, look how the wheels are just wrinkling instead of doing a nice burnout!

Besides, it's rear wheel drive, isnt that dangerous?

How's this?

Hey guys.

I haven't been in here for a while, mainly because I haven't been in MD for a while. I'm finishing up my 5th semester at Penn State. Anyways, last Thursday I let one of my friends drive my Legacy GT. He jumped a curb at about 30mph, completely messing up the left front suspension. Anyways, it's going to be $4,387.84 for the body shop to fix it. I don't really have the time or the means to fix it myself. My insurance is covering it, and my friend is paying the deductible and the subsequent insurance hike. So here's the pics:





Anyways, the body shop said it would take at least 4 weeks. So at home in MD, I currently have an '88 GTU sitting in my garage. I took the engine out before going to school. I have an engine waiting to be put in. It's my first engine swap, so I'm bound to screw a few things up before getting it working. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone in MD could give me a hand and help me expedite the process. My zip code is 20678, so it might be a bit far for some of you. Anyone who helps will be rewarded with free food. I'll be able to work on the car from 12/22 - 1/14. (Not Christmas or New Years though)

I'm going to run the Real Street class of the NMRA. It was built to run that class a few years ago. The former owner was killed in a snowmobile accident. His parents sold the car to a couple guys who planned to run it but want to concentrate on their other race car instead. I picked it up for a pretty good price and I've already got some sponsorship stuff in the works. Should be pretty fun.

Only if you're certain people I know... And only if you got the car for free.
