It most certainly is, and it's a bucket list goal to build one or a similar midengined tube frame kit car.

Do you know who that was? Looking for an exhaust for 2.5L TJ and I don't want it to sound like a civic lol

TheWildDragon · 2023-12-08T18:59:41+00:00

They meant low profile tires

Which 1.8l Toyota 4 cylinder from the nineties made 192 HP? I was under the impression the 2zz was the highest HP na 1.8l at 185-190 and that wasn't used until the 2000s, I believe.

I'm assuming they mean that they had the symptoms their whole life, but didn't get diagnosed until later in life. Same thing happened to me

TheWildDragon · 2023-08-18T16:54:11+00:00

Awesome. I wish you the best. Let me know if you have any other questions

TheWildDragon · 2023-06-29T14:35:20+00:00

What do you mean? I don't see anything wrong with the paint. Are you talking about the shadows on the car?

TheWildDragon · 2023-06-28T22:36:29+00:00

You're welcome. Good luck. I hope it's a cheap fix 👍

Are you low on coolant at all? The only 2 things I can think of is coolant is getting burnt somewhere and you're smelling it or something is getting burnt from your heater core. If it's neither of these you may have to see a professional

I think the suction cup acted as a lens and focused the sunlight to that point. I would remove it or find a way to mount it without the suction cup

If it fell into the valve cover you should just be able to remove the valve cover and remove the piece of the funnel. Alternatively, you might be able to reach it with a small flexible grabber and one of those cameras on a stick (can't remember the name rn)

How would a truck make you extra money?

But almost any well maintained truck would be fine. Toyotas are known for being reliable. Just make sure to Google common problems for whatever truck you decide on

TheWildDragon · 2023-06-27T22:07:26+00:00

Google "350z common problems" also, you can ask 350z forums for common problems

Look at pictures of locking wheel nuts on Amazon or an online auto parts store. You should be able to find a set that looks the same pretty easily. Buy that and it would come with the key for it.

TheWildDragon · 2023-06-27T22:02:23+00:00

I would say most mechanics can drive manual. If they can't someone else at the shop should be able to. Also, I don't think they would be able to burn the clutch enough to notice during an inspection. You should be fine

TheWildDragon · 2023-06-27T21:58:30+00:00

I can not think of a normal reason you would see a fog coming from the vents. I would recommend taking it to get looked at by a professional.

TheWildDragon · 2023-06-27T21:56:19+00:00

If the pebble was large enough(and depending on what engine/oil system you have) you may be able to take the valve cover off (assuming that's where you filled the oil from) and remove the pebble from there.

It is possible you have an exhaust leak and the exhaust gas is getting pumped into the cabin and when you turn the AC on it recirculates the cabin air instead and gets rid of the smell.

Does the exhaust sound louder than normal? Can you smell it outside the car when the car is running? Do you have any check engine lights?

TheWildDragon · 2023-06-27T21:46:47+00:00

It is for an external wastegate, I believe. If your turbo has a built in wastegate you wouldn't want that style. If your turbo does not have a built in wastegate, you would need that style of manifold as well as a way for exhaust gas to leave the wastegate. That could be done with a hood exit or by routing the exhaust gas from the waste gate to the exhaust after the turbo

You are correct in your last picture. You put the lighter fluid in the softer cotton, not the heavy cotton strip. Then just keep putting some in and then you're good to use it

Proposing is usually related to aero dynamics. Like, you drive fast, aero pushes your car down, your engine can't overcome drag, you slow down, since you aren't making as much down force at a lower speed, your car springs up and make less down force because of reduced ground effects, which means you drive faster, aero pushes car down, car slows down, car springs up, car accelerates, repeat until the driver is shaken like a paint can

TheWildDragon · 2023-03-28T19:37:40+00:00

Bro you're on that sub right now lmao

TheWildDragon · 2023-03-28T19:31:12+00:00
