1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I replaced my engine temp sensor for mojo purposes, and I felt like it mixed in super well with current feng shuie, so maybe the MAF will complete the ying and yang bond.

 

You’ll know when all things become parallel, Grasshopper.

 

I’m close to inner peace!

 

Also, I wish you lived closer, I’d make you some amazing french press medium roast guatamala Antigua....... it’s got gold flecks in it from the coffee gods

 

You need a better telescope for Saturn and Jupiter. At least one with a 10” aperature. Maybe a used Dobsonian?

 

Our telescope is cheap, and 25 years old. It does fine with the naked eye. Taking pictures through the aperture is a real challenge. I can barely see the rings with my nakedness.

I will look into a better telescope one day, just not soon.

 

Now the proud owner of a 2012 corolla S model. $1350 for it. New engine coming for $900, and I’ll post pics when it’s at the shop. Kbb is 5-8 grand depending on condition.. I’ll see how she cleans up

 

Upon further research I might be able to get like 9k for this sucker

 

I just think the grill is the same style as the 00-02 grill but longer. Maybe if I ever need a new hood, I will get a sequoia one.

 

@AzureNightmare

 

Alive and kicking. How about you, Noah?

 

This afternoon when I woke up, I read the paper. I didn't see my name in the recent obituaries. Same here. Glad to hear that you're doing the same.

Feel free to drop by here anytime after all the shoo'ers go to sleep.

 

Much appreciated. So long as I don't try to talk about working on our different trucks I usually feel pretty welcome here.

Still, gotta keep my eyes open O.O

 

Damn straight. You 1st gen guys are all a bunch of genius mechanics. I can do basic things, but I don't do dash disassembly or electrical stuff. It's either Bad Juju when I try to work on things, or it takes 3 times longer than it should.

That's why I like following this thread. I'm impressed by how capable all of you guys are.

 

Short Tube Headers
Dunno where else to put it, but came across someone selling some NIB STH's he never installed.
No relation, just something found on the list of C.
Who all was interested? I think @empty_lord wanted long tube. Maybe @FirstGenVol ?
If it even fits our motors/engine bay;
<Doug Thorley Headers Toyota 4.7 V8 - auto parts - by owner - vehicle... (craigslist.org)>
Doug Thorley Stainless Steel ceramic coated THY-563-SS-C / 2005-2009 Toyota 4Runner / Lexus GX470 4.7L Short Tube Headers. Comes with header gaskets (2), Magnaflow 2.5” catalytic converters (2), BLOX Racing CEL Check Engine Light Eliminator Adapters BXFL-00108 (2), stage 8 locking header bolt kit (1) and instructions. Will not separate. Never installed, new condition. I sold the truck. Cost over $1,100, price is firm at $800. I will ship.

 

I did my best Bob Ross and helped a friend "fix" her 4Runner bumper. It still looks rough but better than before.

 

Exactly. Glad im not the only one

 

My “area” to work in today.
PHM, this is the bead probe set up I use for precision, my meter also has a hi or low or Hi/low so you can see the differential when things shut off and turn back on at.
Capillary tube and a new filter dryer. 45 and dropping!

 

Your brushwork has captured the vitality of both visual elements and contemporary starkness with precise economy.

 

I always envied Bob Ross's Afro.

 

Poor truck
All new parts with labor comes out to $4700... spindles bent, axle destroyed, racks over extended... already put my offer in. It also needs a frame.. we’ll see what happens

 

I was going to mention the gaping hole in the frame. Why even fuck with buying that one? Seems like a low chance of turning a profit.

 

That’s pretty epic, upper and lower ball joints at the same time!

 

Yea she’s fucked.

I offered $350 if he doesn’t want to fix it. Frames toast too

 

Cost of frame + the shit it needs ~4K. Realitivly clean and he also just had the t belt done a few months ago (and was quoted ball joints). Probably make some money off it, half the mileage of my truck. Only 100k on this sucker

 

I did only offer scrap value by the way.
Any more would be too much for the effort

 

Im assuming ball joint failure is the cause of said condition?
