1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

They did….

 

Anyone know why cats yowl? It’s very disturbing. I think I need to close the windows.

 

They are angry at another cat, or horny at another cat. I know a thing or two about cat law

 

Yeah, now 2 of them are yowling at one another. It’s mellow like a baby crying, so I’ll guess horny?

 

I got a fancy Y strap on the cheap but it’s missing anchors.

 

I have mistaken babies crying for cats yowling more times than you’d think.

 

Forgot to bring this up. But the 2gr with just cams, hybrid pistons and a custom intake. 383 hp on pump 93, 405 on e85

 

Thats a great looking powerband. Trans geared to keep it in the sweet spot?

 

WTF dude? How does it make that much power? 3.5 ecoboost makes 365 CHP with 2 turbos! That's amazing!

 

Apparently I lost my bumper cap somewhere between here and Arizona. Anyone got a spare I could buy?

 

I bought these and they fit perfectly: https://www.ebay.com/itm/293331767652

 

People out here having threesomes and I'm not even having twosomes. Guess that's why they call me handsome.

 

Any rust in that hole? I noticed mine popped out when the metal inside began to rust and swell that area of the bumper reinforcement underneath.

 

Not really. I'm pretty sure I know exactly when it happened during the trip. I just didn't notice it gone until later. I was standing on the bumper wrestling with something in the bed.

 

You may be able to pop off the other one and see if they cast a part number into it on the underside.

 

I’ll look in my goody box for my original. Bought new from McGeorge last yr…both sides and center circle. I’m bad or good about keeping original stuff. Hopefully it’s not in that place I said I would never forget. You youngins will understand someday what I mean

This is what I ordered from McGeorge for my 04. May or May not be same for your 02.

Goddammit

 

A dying breed (literally). A modern age Bard

 

toyota built a weapon of a motor... and stuck it in boring cars


no head work. just springs and cams.. stock hybrid pistons and a custom short runner intake plenum

 

High compression will do that. At least i think you said it was high compression. Maybe throw some water/meth at it for track days?

 

mines high compression. so is this engine. 93 octane wasnt even knock limited. e85 was zero knock. suckers impressive.

 

The Virus lives again. Did great on the way to work last night, and on the way back home.

Brakes were stuck after sitting since I hit the deer whenever that was. Misfires after sitting for so long too. Proper Italian tune up and some hard braking had it fixed right up.

My headlight beam pattern is fucked, but that's okay. Working thirds during the summer I shouldn't be driving in the dark at any time. Just the dusk.

Anyways, here goes some pictures...



After my cractivities yesterday... I used that brake rotor as a hammer. Felt like @Mr.bee






Trash pile.


And the pièce de résistance!





Had to drill some holes for zip tie lashings, and self tapping sscrews. Had to cut some of the fenders with a grinder. Had to adjust the hood bumpers. Had to beat, pull, grind, and fine-ass everything into place.

Hood works. Door works. Fluid levels look guuud. The only thing that does not work is the A/C. I'm guessing I lost all my freon or whatever when I hit the deer or while it sat.

I pulled up the live data on the code reader. When I press the AC button with the blower on, I am not getting the "A/C cut switch on" signal verification. (Speculation->) It's like the ECU knows that it's not got anything in the system, and it won't even cycle the AC system on.

I don't know Jack shit about AC or HVAC in general at all. Let alone vehicle HVAC. That's more @FrenchToasty's realm. Maybe @shifty` as he is lightly versed in all things, and can pull information from the whispy ether

 

What if the shiner box was aluminum, and the lines those 6" single row lightbars, and instead of the stalk i had a 4 position knob, low is 2 on each side, med is 4, high is all, and off is off. Like a boxfan. I've also got more lights with an amber ring i can use for signals. Out on the corners pointing 45* out on the corner.

 

Ya'll wouldnt believe how much my yard grew while i was gone. We must've got a decent downpour.

 

Low limit switch on the A/C is disabling it most likely if all the refrigerant is gone.

 

I don't remember if we've got any members up in Vermont but if you are keep an eye out for my friends Dan and Emma. They do a walk every year someplace, last year they walked Colorado.
