yeh! my car is being worked on *woot woot*
-Bert

 

Bert....do you not practice the ritual called "Change your damn coolant" you bastard. That **** looked like...well ****. hahaha I see you got a new filter too or you cleaned your old one.

 

I talked to my advisor from mazda and he said that if everything shows up here tuesday (which is what they planned) my car should be out on the road friday. So count me in i guess =P

 

Hey Nick, there were hydrocarbons in my coolant since I got it >_<. I would've flushed it but it wouldn't of been worth it since the coolant seals were screwed anyways. Oh well, soon my car will be back to normal if not better!

 

Ben makes everything better heh

manual > automatic
Good motor > blown motor
Ben's TII > Stock TII


some of ben's handy work puttin the vaccum nest back together, funny thing is, this looks fun compared to the electrical work i've been doing.

 

Yep Im gonna have to do that too when I get my car back... Although I think you guys would drown me a pile of recently discharged human/animal fecal matter if I used blue lines.

 

You should just convert it over to non-sequential, then you only need 4 vac lines.. or was it 5? Instead of 76 or whatever it is. It's been awhile, I forget.

Mike

 

Maybe you should convert them I like the feel of sequential, but i've never felt single except a TII so I wouldn't really know.

 

it's a lot worse than it looks.


oh, wait, that didn't come out right...

 

here is some more pictures of the teardown:

 

cause of the problem found, broken seal wall, upper right corner on front housing, verdict: housing will need to be replaced.

 

another thing i found, a solid piece of something went through the engine, the rotor can be cleaned up but the rotor housing is questionable, i have extra housings if you want to replace it Bert but it will be an additional $100 for me to retrofit a good n/a housing to work for this. the housing may very well work fine but i don't like the pit and the chatter mark right after this point, it will put added stress on the seal, if it was an n/a engine i would say it would be fine but for an engine that you plan to upgrade i would suggest replacing it.






and you better start servicing your cooling system every 2 years or less, i would say it contributed to the failure of the coolant wall but not completely at fault but the coolant literally looked like mud...

 

^ Yeh I thought that **** was oil at first. Thanks to whichever mod stickied the thread

 

Ben's TII > Stock TII

what's that supposed to mean? hehe...

looks like you guys are having all the fun without me. can't wait to get this school bs over with so i can have some fun.

 

school bs..yeah I wish my school was out so I can actually work on my car...and get all the lithium grease or whatever my dad got all over my freshly waxed and polished car -_-;

 

I'm back. Arizona kicked ***!! We should all move out there. Anyway, glad to hear that so much is going on.
Bert, I'm sure you can't wait to get your TII back
Tim, glad to see that you are posting again. We were all wondering what happened to you.
Ben, looks like the rebuild is going pretty good. Are you just working on it when you get home at night and on the weekends?
Jake, best of luck getting your FD sorted out.

Anyway, we're back in town for a bit. I'll be leaving May 23rd for 2 weeks and then I'll be back again. Can we try and plan the June meet for somewhere around the 2nd or 3rd week please? I'll be leaving the last week of June for 4 months!

Zach

 

Welcome back zach, we'll try and plan the next meet around your schedule since we won't be seeing you for 4 months

Well my handy...umm hands and electrical skills have caused my speedo to work, so HELL YES! Car's at the shop again to see if they can fix the noise, no charge

Good to see you back Zach, I hope we can see you @ the June meet. Especially since I couldn't go to the last meet And you can't make it to this meet. June ....NO SCHOOL

 

Berry and I will surely be at the June meet just as long as we can work out a convenient time for everyone. We'll be looking forward to seeing all of you.

Zach

 

yea, school is really kicking my rear. but it's almost finals week so its almost over.

wow zach, you've been all over the place. are you guys on your red phase or whatever the af calls it?

as for the 28th, looks like its a little shaky for me. my family will be moving to a new house by holman-morada in stockton. i'll see if i can get away for a couple of hours and chill with you guys.

 

Jan,

Or deployment stuff works a little different now then it used to. We do 4 months down range and then 12 home. That is just how this base works though. The rest of the AF does 4 months down range and 18 home. Sucks to be at Beale!! (Like I didn't know that already though. )

Zach

 

wow, an actual deployment. in that case, may the force be with you young.... nvm. ;D

anyway, i didnt realize it before but this thread got stickied!!! we must be getting popular with the big dogs. arrf, arrf!

 

morada...that street..i think is where my cousin lives. morada street has a house with a couple fieros parked in front of it. anyway, i saw an fc on that street when i was there a while ago though i don't know who it belongs to. it was a maroon color gxl.
