Yesterdays projects plus turbo question
Wanted to remove the factory air box just to free up space, definitely a noticeable improvement from that, also went ahead and swapped out my throttle pivot before it died, throttle response feels dramatically better,but the nut that holds the male end of the linkage flew off while I was driving, fortunately had a spare 10mm nut in the car that was a lot tighter and better fit. Fixed some coolant leaks too on the heater core pipes that exposed themselves after a coolant flush.
Does anyone know what this line running above my new air filter is? It goes to that point above the filter from what I’m pretty sure is the waste gate.
Lock actuator doesn’t stay in hole
I’ve gotten a couple different lock actuators from a user here and that have either broken or had this same issue in the video where it actuates and just falls out of place. Am I missing something? Is there supposed to a retaining ring on the back?
To those running hot this time of year
Do a citric acid flush and run 30% coolant 70% distilled water for the summer. Bottle of redline water wetter doesn’t hurt either.
Bad pic but anyone dealt with their kick panels falling apart and having to reattach them? I’ve tried a handful of different staples but it won’t penetrate the plastic.
Delayed ejaculation.
I’ve seen some people talk about this but never a good dedicated post on this sub, curious if people have found ways to solve this, to preface I’m a 190-200 lb 6’1 relatively fit late twenties male. I could have sex everyday, but I’ve had this problem for years where I can barely ever cum without finishing myself,and I it is hands free it’s from head. I’m bi and regardless of whether I’m with a man or woman it doesn’t matter. My blood pressure is good,labs last year showed my test was good, I’ve had this problem since I was 16? And throughout different weights and levels of health throughout my life. Lately sometimes I even just have a hard time getting it up if not like IN LOVE with someone but I have no idea what it is. Has anyone solved this issue? I’m making an attempt currently at no masturbation or porn for the next month to see what that changes but otherwise I’m healthy. I go to the gym. I get sunshine. I have a decent diet. Idk what else to do.
Little rubber elbow here leaks no matter what. I’ve seen some replace with air filter. But I’ve been under the impression that this tube in the long run feeds some oil to the turbo,does the turbo not need oil fed to it?
So much wrong in my life and in the world and my wagon 😂but it doesn’t matter in the wagon on the backroads with the dogs
How critical is my ball joint repair?
I have half a mind to do a lil 700 mile round trip in my wagon this weekend but I know both the boots on my ball joints are torn. Should I push it back until this is fixed?
Aux fan
Currently don’t have an aux fan in my car but have a maradyne replacement aux fan in my other car I been meaning to put from there and run in my daily. What temp is the aux fan supposed to kick on? I’m only overheating mid day while idling. Once it starts to overheat I can’t cool it back to normal without running the heater and some freeway driving. I previously ran through the whole cooling system last year and replaced about everything. But I did not know at the time that I needed to do a citric acid flush and just ran one can of liqui moly radiator flush through the system. Thinking about doing another coolant flush this year but with proper citric acid as well.
Anyone ran one of these all aluminum throttle linkage bushings? Would love to hear what you have to say?
What are yall working on right now? Now that my dashboard and soars and front carpet are fully done I’m giving my wallet a break and slowing down on my resto. But curious to see what else yall are working on!
I will say I am dropping in a new fully aluminum throttle pivot arm as a preventative this weekend!
Back carpet is coming along nicely as well as center consoles got everything there besides the ashtray and new radio
Recarpeting my rear seats today or atleast starting to, how do I get this rear panel off? Do I have to take off the folding bracket? I’ve removed everything else, as I just lacking muscle and need to pull it lol?
Fresno smokers, I am not a cannabis smoker but two important people in my life are and I wanted to get them a nice gift and wanted to give them like a really nice/pretty dab rig that I could go somewhere locally for! What shops would yall recommend that have actually artsy nice glass? I vape but every smoke shop I go to seems to just have Chinese rick and Morty bongs lol.
Finally got this fuck ass sunroof back in. Passenger side keeps binding on part of the cassette and won’t slide all the way forward unless I really force it. Front seal is pretty much all the way but won’t sit fully nice and flush like in the woods and barclay vid. Rear seal comes undone Everytime I slide the roof front and back even though I have it seated beautifully and flush. Poorly fails the leak test. I’m just gonna cut some waterproof tape real nice and straight and slap it on and call it on the sunroof. I never like it open anyways and it’s holding up the whole project. Finally gonna move onto the carpet. Feels like a pyrrhic victory.
Hey yall been using my orbital sander for just some standard wood sanding. Worked fine when I set it down yesterday. Today I go to turn it on and when I turn it on the pad shakes once and won’t continue. I read online it could be compacted with gunk and junk. I take the pad off and try to run it without the pad same deal, ran a can and a half of parts cleaner on it and spins like mad again. I put the disc bearing pad back and right back where I started. What’s the deal?
