Will do, Stu. I'll find a payphone when we hit Charlotte (don't have a cell). We'll just head to Chilli's and hang out until you guys can head over.

Kent

 

 

Just left Chili's with Kent and Mikkie. I hope I spelled that right! Missed havin them around, last I saw them was March. Anyways, we had fun. Man, you sure can stuff a lot in the back of a FB. His -SE was nice!

Kent gave me 3 more irons to add to my collection, the black door handles and power window accessories. I forgot to bring my camera there, but here are the pictures of the parts

Thanks again Kent!




To add to my boxes of parts

 

what model are them switches for? (just curious, never seen some like that)

 

that is a sweet gold trany stu... whos turbo motor is that?

 

I would guess S2 switches for a GSL. Anyone have a clue on the one with the blue on it?

 

Wow! Kent brought you down a turboed 12A and a gold tranny! Man Kent I'm sorry I missed out Sounds like yunz had a good time.

 

Wait till you see the diamond studded "X" wheels he's bringing down for us OGTA folks!

 

hey guys, had a question, my car's boost gauge normally sits at 19-20 hg vacuum when idleing now it sits at 15-16 is this ok? and the boost creeps a little higher to...Should i be worried, also just started putting 93 octane in here too? i

 

Shouldn't you have been using 93 octane all along? Is this an FD engine?

 

No Holly It is a T2 S5 engine.
And IMO yes He should be using 93 with a turbo rotary. Unless I am dumb to why not. Doesn't make sense to me not too.

Anywhays John,
That still is OK vaccum for idle, It may be a sticky seal . How long was it sitting while you were out with medical restrictions? You can pull your top plugs one at a time, disconnect the CAS plug and listen for the 3 good puffs front and rear. I wouldn't worry about it but that is a easy quick way to hear general health inside.

 

Dude! Have you not been running Premium in it? The boost creep is coming from the oversized exhaust. You need to add some backpressure, or port the wastegate to control that creep. Unless you are running a standalone, or have your ECU sent off and remapped, the stock ecm cannot handle the higher boost pressure. You WILL blow that thing up with that much creep!

 

Dave it was about two months but i cranked it up a few times a week.

And as for the 93, i'm new to the turbo game, i didnt know to use 93.

well my car sitting as low as it does, i hit a speed bump and it cracked open my cat and ever since then its done that, and as far as an ecu the guy told me it was updated when he put the t2 engine is.

so dave, if you can find the straight pipe i'm just gonna say to hell with cats...i'll pay for it and we can put it in like we planned when we put my turbo timer in. and if u can whn we do it we can pull the plugs like you said i just dont wanna break anything cause i reall can't afford a huge repair bill haha

if u want DAVE, i gt off at 5 tommorrow if u want i can head ur way and we cn look at it, i'm just worried and ovr paranoid.

"...Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death..."

in case you don't yet recognize it:
"...Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over
thought I'd something more to say..."

 

Well, since the SA has been gone, I have been toying with the Beemer. I have decided the old girl is in need of a new look. So with that I have decided to "update" the wheels. There are a few that I have seen that I would love to put on it, but funds are limiting buying new wheels. So......I tried something with the wheels that are on it.


Stock look.......




"New" look.......






I still need to paint the bumpers and the lower sides. But I will have time for that.

 

not too shabby id say...i like it

 

you never called me back.....
you find me anything????

 

Lol, sorry. Been out of the house and in troutman a lot recently. I will let you know.

If it is for your model year, then yes
