1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Won’t be for a while. Other things to get done first

 

stage one of cooling system overhaul is starting. Tru cool 40k cooler is coming and im going to figure out how its getting mounted, bend up the lines and get it ready for the mishimoto radiator and 160 degree transmission t-stat. radiator may or may not happen this month. we'll see how im feeling


i plan on running quick connects for the cooler. So lines will be flared to take fuel line quick connects like our trucks stock fuel lines. should make removing the cooler easier... and its cleaner looking than hose clamps


Or i might just say screw it and do -AN fittings and make it look like a damn race car!

 

As promised in a MUCH earlier post by me. Here is that funeral home chevy 1500

 

I've been trying to not watch the news over the last week or so. Well I turned it in on this morning.
WTF
People please be safe, try and avoid being out. The temperature appears to getting worse and I'm not talking mother nature.

 

@Professional Hand Model

My new spray nozzle experiment was a fail. The 90° bend simply sticks out too far with the hose, and elbow attached. Ended up kinking the hose anyway.


The new nozzles did provide a nice fan blade at maybe a 10 or 15 ° angle up from aperture on nozzle. Without notching the hood hole in the light blue manner it will not work.


I tried trimming the barb on the new nozzle, and the barb on the 90° fitting. Still no go.

 

Can you drill a new hole (red dot) with that sweet new unibit of yours? Feed the hose up through and attach? Might need a hole grommet to keep the hose from chaffing.

 

I think before I modified the hood I'd look for a different nozzle. From some quick looking around it looks likes they all use about the same size mounting hole. Something like these.

My prior Toyota did. Still could park/hitch it, although I did use the bump and go method.

That truck even came with an 80’s style Puerto Rican Rear View Mirror (the kind that spans the entire cab width). I took the little dangling balls off the mirror after purchase.

 

Just heard we had a neighborhood gas siphon thief come through the other night down the street. Pretty bad to have to do this when when gas is so cheap at $1.89 currently.

 

I was talking with an Okinawin Woman yesterday and she said her husband ‘have grumpy’. Asked me if I ‘have grumpy too’?

 

The clouds have been on the horizon and heading our way for years. Most sub 30 year olds have the same response these days when I ask them face to face how they are doing. They start in like lemmings with current events and... (insert things I am not allowed to say here). I’ve been taking temperatures for a long time. Where we are now is past point of no return. Guns won’t save us from whats already happened (via subversion) although they are a great thing to own while we still have the right.

 

If you need some entertainment today.

Just a few tundras.



and an oddball Chevy
The white tundra is getting a frame

 

What's the one man bleeder y'all like? I need to bleed again but don't wanna have anyone suffer out there with me. I tried looking at the bottom, and y'all know how the search is here. One I could pick up local would be preferable? And how do you adjust the rear through the little hole?

 

Also, we really need a thread of "what to look for in a fgt" sticky.

 

fgt?

 

First gen tundra.

 

Also, I got tired of y'all flaunting pics of your FSM, so I bought this.

 

I wanted a DVR to record but I found this rear view mirror to be a better fit for what the misses needs to feel a bit more comfortable with driving and parking the truck. Truth is I'm the 1 not feeling comfy, her car has a camera and front & rear parking sensors. She still managed to back into someone.

 

Some one say FSM?

 

Why do they even bother making a service manual for a 2000 Corolla? Those little things are the literal equivalent of the Energizer Bunny, they just keep going

 

@bmf4069 you can download the FSM for free here. I think its 43-ish mb. Courtesy of @BubbaW

There are other toyota models on there.

 

Other than burning oil, our 02 Corolla seemed unstoppable. It was like a little go-cart with no ABS. I can't tell you how many times I locked up all 4 tires. That car had 9 lives.

 

I worked at a dealership for a little while, used car dept. Whenever we got 1 of these Corollas in with a ton of miles, I would stash it deep in the back lot and waited. This is gonna sound bad but.... Whenever 1 of the island guys showed up and all sales people would scatter, I just smile cha-ching. Never failed. "I have exactly what you are looking for right over here"

 

I had access to a big copier, and had about 1000 pages of it printed, so I can feel the pages!

 

Fine "Chinet" dining. I miss Mamaw's breakfast.

I was 6. I would go over to the grandparents to stay the night some times. The next morning mamaw would cook a breakfast for the 3 of us. We would sit down at the dinner table, and Papaw would pray. Mamaw would always tap my hand, I would look at her, she would wink at me and then take a bite of food off her plate and flash that grandma smile everyone loves.

Papaw would finish praying, and then we would dig in.

I miss her.

 

This reminds me of Plaxico Burress. He had NY eating out of the palm of his hand, then..... Pow

 

Good stuff right there.
I remember coming home late at night and my grandma would wake up. Pot of coffee on the stove and we would sit there for hours. She would tell me stories about Cuba and her childhood.
This is what we have to do for the generations that follow. Good stuff bro

 

Lots of good memories, and stories to tell.


Legitimate niceness! @lsaami opened the box, and saw three 10 mm bolts on top of the stuffing paper, and thought " WTF?"

Opened the stuffing paper, and saw the trans cooler. "OH!"

 

Anyone heard from @speedtre in a while? Where you at sir?
