1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Home away from home. Always have a place to rest his head.

 

Got the fuel pump in Donut today so he's back up and running. Still doing the herky jerky at 3500 rpm occasionally and still killed the throttle input once in 2nd at around 5k rpm. The belt is slipping pretty bad, so I'm still not making much boost. 2-3lb in lower gears, and I saw about 4-5 on a 4th gear pull on I27(the 27). Still such a fun car to drive.

I sent the log files to the tuner so we'll see what he says. I need to pull my injectors and get them cleaned and flow tested. Once we do that I imagine it'll be time to get a new tune on the car to unlock the ECU. I also need to get the AC(purchased) put in. Donut should be 100% before the summer. Then it's time for coilovers, brakes, and wide sticky rubber. 1/4 mile times will be had.

OK @JakeJake, are we ready to fuck Ironman up on Friday?



Oh, and I hit 80k miles today.

 

Alignment imminent

 

I'm ready if you are.

 

Need to do this soon...

Have heard Tota Chaos recommended over Energy Suspension bushings, but not how much more the 333 clamp makes a difference vs just swapping in the bew bushings?

Had to get inventive with the mounting options for the the center console in the 5 Spd.

 

Whoa, @bmf4069 ! Certified Calibration speedo? That's not stock is it? You usually only see those in police vehicles with a "pursuit package".

 

It's definitely not stock, but it is a P7B police interceptor.

 

Damn you're strong willed to go that long. I did ten months. Only carbs I had were complex carbs from vegetables. I been cheating on my.diet hard AF the last month or so now. I gotta get back.on the keto wagon. But I haven't stopped working out. Just had to postpone some workouts and walks because of weather and truck stuff this week. I only went to the gym twice (instead of 4x) and only walked 33 miles (instead of 45) this week. I believe you whe. You say you haven't touched carbs in two years. I'd tell you to put some meat on them bones, it I know you eat plenty of good meat.

 

Do people slow down and get out of the way when you come up to their tail in the passing lane on the highway/interstate?

 

Some final pics as this project winds down.



Still need to adjust the toe on this one.


@FrenchToasty do you rub your washer fluid at all off-road?

 

Where's this at?

 

Who is that little guy under there??

 

I don’t think so, but probably, I still have my liners so I’m sure I’ve rubbed those

 

In hindsight, I should've grabbed the handle.

 

I almost said whos the little guy with the big blue dick?

 

The bushings are from energy suspension. Only the billet bracket is 333.
So far it's hard to say thoughts because I barely driven

 

Some of you guys might know NoNonsenseKnowHow on youtube. He’s got a V6 manual FGT- and I’m always shocked with how much he tows with it. This is from his new video:


Must be a 5,000lb car, on a trailer that must weigh another thousand. Crazy.

 

But for the grace of god, there go I.

 

I watch his stuff all the time. Haven't watched this one yet. He also stores all kinds of stuff in the back seat area and has the rear door panels removed for more storage. I'm not sure how that thing even moves with all the weight he's got on it.

 

Subbed to that channel. Good content, good variety, good dude. I'll have to check that out now.

 

Right?? The manual transmission must help, but still. He's even said in the videos that one of the 6 cylinders is low on compression. Can't be making more than what, 170hp??

 

See this video at 8:30 to see the back seat setup.

That's crazy. I guess it's just a testament to how tough our trucks are. Have you seen the video he made about accidentally submerging it at a boat ramp?

 

Oh that’s the same guy?!

 

Yeah, same dude. Truck is still kickin.

 

Yeah I saw that video a long while back, that truck was DEEP!

 

What brakes is he running to handle the loads?

 

Watching the vid now. Hell I bet he has 2-300lb in the cab, another 2-300lb in the back. Noise inside that cab has to be like riding inside a baby rattle ffs, shit clinking and clanking all over.
