congratulations on your smog success. i still have to get around and have one done on my first gen. i have to go to a test only station coz i raised the dreaded red flag last time for double hc. i changed the spark plugs coz they looked really rusted. not sure if that is normal since i have never seen plugs like that. probably gonna need a new cat now.

 

Hahaha.. told you guys I say I "Might Be Able" to make it if theres no plan.

Which there was. The family had to took my father and eat out...

 

a tune up and a new good quality cat is really essential to getting good readings.

my car prior to putting the cat on made me dizzy standing at the rear of it, now it ran 24HC at idle....night and day difference.

thanks for loaning me the cat Nick, ill get it back to you this weekend.

 

Hey Ben, I get dizzy too, hey, I started smoking today but it went away in like maybe after a minute at idle...

it's probably from the turbo since it isn't spinning the seals might be beginning to leak some.

when do you want to try and come by to swap out the turbo? the car will need to cool down so it will take a few hours to do everything.

 

Smoking cigs or you car was smoking

 

I'm sure he meant his car was smoking. Bert would look funny as hell smoking for real.

Hey guys.. don't be too surprised since my *** doens't do much posting. i can cook the **** of some burgers tho... still eating the leftover grub from saturday..hehe.

Anywayz.. I think a few of us are gonna hit the CMI drags this Sunday @ at the Sacramento Raceway. I think the tickets are 6 bucks. Anybody else interested in going?

I wanted to hit the ExtremeAutofest in SF but gonna pass on it. The Drift race in Sonoma July 10 looks sweet.

Well.. if anybody want's to meet up on Sun at the Raceway then give me a shout. My email is racerrex90@yahoo.com and my cell is 951-490-9748.

OH **** evan on the boards! lol I might go .......IS that sunday as in the 26th? or next sunday.

 

sorry bro.. for the late reply. that'll be THIS sunday <26 JUN>

i realize that this is sad.. the highlight of my day was going to the cheesecake factory in Sac. been working all nite on papers and finally got to relax and browse this site.

 

Well I made it to the CMI import drag race today. Apparently the tickets are $15 on the weekend and $6 on Weds. The crazy part is I didn't have the money and left to hit the ATM. So, on the way to get $$, I came across a car wreck (Hwy 16) involving at least one car that just left the Sac Raceway parking lot as I pulled in. The lady got hit twice by SUVs. I can now attest to the crash worthyness of Toyota Camrys. No serious injuries but I jumped out and started directing traffic and helping out on the scene for about one hour.

The races where cool.. only one RX-7 (2gen NA) but didn't see it race. Maybe it was eliminated earlier in the morn. The highlights were watching the number one qualifiers for Quick 8 and Outlaw. These two Honda's where making 10 and 11 sec passes. I believe they were all motor. Nasty.

Things got lame when I witnessed a Echo and Civic battle it out on 16-17 sec passes. Evo doing 14.45?? Must be the driver. The quicker Scoobies did 13 sec passes. Honda Ridgeline WTF??

I musta been one the oldest guys out there in the stands..lol. Anyway.. all in all it was fun. Now only if I can get my gf to run her V6 Accord...hehe.

 

so where we going to meet just got my car running again and i want to meet befor it breaks again. J/k. I would be down with modesto or stockton as they are both about 45 mins from me.

unhappy turbo:





ideally the shaft is supposed to be 1 piece.

 

wow, the break was pretty clean, I'm damn good. bahaha. Thanks a lot Ben for swapping it out.

 

who else?

 

np Bert, i just want to be sure you are happy with your rebuild. good timing that i happened to be in the market for a larger turbo at the time yours went out...

be sure to let me know when you have time so i can check out the idle issue.

 

alrighty sounds good
