houston: im down for whatever that evening, just let me know if you wanna plan something for before or after the meet

 

Badnews!

Gf was taking the car to work this morning,turned on fine waited about 10min before taking off,she said there was a lil studdering in the idle go to the 1st and car shut down and now it doesnt want to start!

 

My money is still on a shitty engine that said you could have some failed coilpacks and some super shitty plugs.

doubtful but possible.

 

Just got the car home,any advice on what yall would do in this situation.

 

Met up with that guy to get some logs. He had to transfer the data to his other computer to read it, so waiting on that.

He gave me a ride in his avant with upgraded pistons, rods, tial 605's (larger turbos than mine), running 30+ psi... holy ****. My car is slow. His estimates put his car ~100 hp higher than mine and he's still tuning. He's scheduled to dyno it at noribilt in a week or so, so it should be fun to see what numbers he's making.

 

See if you can get some stock coils from a local member to test and swap out. When that doesn't work go get a compression test.

There will always be somebody faster! It sucks but its the way of life.

 

I just found my next car! vtac and huge fmic.. yo

I should buy Isaac that car for the lulz.

 

I found a gold/orang '79 rx7 on CL the other day just outside of SA for $800... anyone want a dreadful rx7 that has been sitting in a garage for 15 years let me know and I'll find the link for ya'. Supposedly it was an ignition fuse that caused the car to sit for so long and now the carb needs to be rebuilt and that's it... riiiighht.

 

Anybody have a lift available and some suspension knowledge I can borrow or pay for services lol...I got some teins springs I need installed and a local shop wanted to charge me 300 dollars...I wouldn't think it'd be half that much if soo let me know or if you can refer me to a decent shop with some cheaper prices

 

Dude, you came to the right place for spring installs.... I'm sure between the lot of us we've done 50. Surely somebody in here will be willing to help you DIY. You don't need a lift and Beer won't cost you $300

 

That sounds amazing...I'm half a month shy of 21 but I can provide the cash for a couple 12 packs know if any1 is close to rittiman and harry wurzbach...

 

I will drink your beer and show you how to install springs while I sit in a lawn chair.

 

I'm all down for learning how.

 

Eh, I'm not really complaining lol. It was a fun ride. Of course, I'd love to have that set up but my car is plenty fast (when it's running properly). I can't imagine I'd want anything more than his car for a street car... that's way more than enough.

If anything, I'm more envious of the fact that it's a widebody avant... it looks awesome!

 

Usually once I get used to the HP i have I get bored and want more powwwaaa!!

 

Yeah I am sure we can manage a spring install, I would say 50 between all of us is about right If we get a decent weekend coming up you can swing by and we can knock it out.

 

did you pull your turbo yet?

 

Nope, I don't work in the cold Hopefully the weather holds up and I can do it Sunday. I need to get it pulled ASAP.

 

now that would be funny.

 

Yea you do...

Well if you are still down by the time I get konigs old chra you can borrow it.

 

Can you imagine the amount of bondo on that thing?

Thanks, but I should be able to get it off and shipped out soon and then it should not take long to get it back hopefully.

 

dude.... you should drive up in the kia soul to him and say... its yours!!!!!!!!

 

that one has been on there for months LOL it is done in lowrider style...

 

Any1 available at all during the week? If not I'm tied up for a couple weekends...but id do all the work I'm just not too familiar with suspension setups soo would need a little guidance...and maybe a hand tool or 2
