That would be far too much fun out on the dunes and up in the mountains here, it's far from complete and most everything on it doesn't work though..
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j2M6clYNxM[/media] This guy is pure badass in concentrated form. Race to the sky seriously needs more publicity, its good to see a fully gravel hill climb after pikes peak got fully surfaced.
since its warm again I went up and started working on my dune buggy again. I unfucked the shifter and my friend changed the pushrods and rocker arms. Afterwe got it running we fucked around with the dual solex carb setup for 3 hours and couldnt ever get the damn thing right, so we decided to go back to the old single carb system. We didnt have a carb but after looking around his junk piles we found an old holley that bolted right up. now I just gotta rebuild it. [editline]22nd April 2015[/editline] looks like its the carb off a 77 vega
Has been an interesting few days, for sure. Made a 700+ mile trip yesterday, got to take my Subaru. Last night was my first night alone in a hotel room, cheap one but not a roach motel. Got to finally meet my girlfriend yesterday. We have been together nearly three years, but were waiting for her to turn 18 before we met. Heading home in a few days, hopefully bringing her with me.

[editline]22nd April 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=slayer3032;47573457]Soon as it runs dry your motor stops, as long as your fuel pump pulls fuel it's lubricated. Running it dry really isn't that bad for it. Although if you have a 200k mile old pump on it's last leg that may kill it. The whole 1/4 tank thing has to do with heat, the fuel keeps your pump cool. However, this only applies primarily to mechanical pumps, weak shitty designs and expensive high flow pumps. The average pump in a 1990+ fuel injection car isn't going to care much what you do to it. All I have to do is pop the seat out, wind out 10 bolts and pop in a new $65 pump or any from a junkyard for free.[/QUOTE] Wrong, my mom fried the pump in her 2010 Tundra by running the truck low on gas all the damn time. It's also something advised against in multiple MB bulletins ranging from the mid 60s to 2006
Mid 90s GM fuel pumps in particular don't like being low on fuel. They're notorious for failing if you run them low on fuel all the time.
[QUOTE=darunner;47571693]They were probably excited as hell to have some rain! [editline]21st April 2015[/editline] Nice looking FiST![/QUOTE] It's no ST :v: It's a Zetec S, with the 125hp 1 litre Ecoboost. It's a shit hot car and I love it. I could get it mapped to 150hp but I'm fine with it the way it is. I enjoy the turbo whistle and the blow off valves when I stamp on and release the accelerator. Very much.
Thank goodness, another episode of Project Binky is out for our enjoyment! [video=youtube;7v59dDxCk9w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v59dDxCk9w[/video]
I'm getting the '68 prepped for show on Sunday. I made myself a list of small things to fix, one being the door arm-rest that my dad broke when I took him out to lunch, but I have a replacement now, and it's all painted the right color again. Then I spent a while scrubbing down the rear seat bench, then scotch-garded it. So much left.

It's also something advised against in multiple MB bulletins ranging from the mid 60s to 2006[/QUOTE] Then the Tundra probably has a really high flow pump, had a faulty pump or has a weak design. I run my Integra down to the last 2 gallons in the tank(12.3Gal/50L) every single time. My low fuel light starts to come on at 3 gallons left, the gauge lines up with the E line at about 2.5, the pump will happily pick up fuel without even sputtering on a very long wide ramp at high speeds down to the very last gallon. I usually go down to around the last 2-1.5 gallons and I have done this every single tank with the exception of whenever I fill it to go longer distances for the 50,000 miles I've owned it. If your vehicle is known to have a weak fuel pump and has a service bulletin on them or something silly like that, then obviously don't run it down. I own Hondas and I know personally that the fuel pumps last anywhere from 200-300k miles depending on how they were treated. Honda only used 80-130LPH(debated..) pumps, these aren't exactly high flow but are usually good for 250hp or so. Some tank designs are really shitty too, my Civic for instance has a 11.8 gallon tank but starves when you run it down below 2.5 gallons and will give you hell if you try to get it to prime and start on/near empty. I'm pretty sure my fuel strainer fell off as that seems to be a common enough issue to be mentioned online. Although that would be causing the fuel pump in the Civic hell as well as picking up unfiltered chunks and make it impossible for it to pick up fuel from the bottom of the tank. I'm guessing this as well as a lack of well placed baffles and an overall cheap design makes the problem worse. I'd also suppose that running the tank to empty and only putting $5-10 in it for it's entire life will probably greatly shorten it's life span. I personally can't stand this shit and anyways fill my tank so I can try to calculate my ever so shitty gas mileage. However, you can be assured that every shitbox owned by people who treat them like scrap are filled up the same way and happily live their lives that way. I also don't find anything interesting what so ever when I google "Tundra Fuel Pump", so it sounds like your mother either loves to drive around on $5-10 or had a defective pump.

[QUOTE=slayer3032;47578814] I've seen a lot of pictures of cut open truck beds and rear seat floors in GM vehicles online, definitely sounds like GM using cheap garbage.[/QUOTE] It's more like expensive garbage. They mount the pump through the top of the tank in this giant cylinder thing which has strainers, filters, and some kind of expensive dark matter generator or something else. You can either drop the driveshaft, axles, rear end, etc and drop the tank to fix it the "correct way" or most cut a hole in the floor and make a little hatch that they can put on and off, so that if it ever needs to be changed again - it's accessible. I've helped a few people do this, and the hole in the floor really is a great way to do it.
I just lifted the bed off of my F-150.....

[url]http://www.camaroz28.com/forums/fuel-ignition-74/1999-camaro-ss-fuel-pump-replacement-trapdoor-style-810959/[/url] You just pull the back seat out of most hondas, undo the cover with 3 philips screws, disconnect the pump assembly that is bolted into the top of the tank with 6 10mm bolts, pull out of tank, replace parts, pop back in tank. Does GM route the wiring through the outside of the vehicle or some shit? Did they not wire it down through the trunk area some how in their cars? Why wouldn't you have an access cover if it's right under the fucking trunk. Everytime I see this shit it just makes me laugh, it's so retardedly bad. I don't feel as bad about dropping the tank on my EF to look at my fuel pump to see if the strainer is in there. I should probably drop it anyways to dump out the 25 year old gunk in the tank someday anyways.

We had the police roll by their house reeeeeally sloow with the lights on and their little front lights that they can point aimed at their house... We know who It is, We have a great photo of his sleeve tattoo. He is even wearing the SAME SHIRT AS IN THE PHOTO. I already called the local scrapyard and they have evidence. Now its only waiting for TWO DIFFERENT COUNTYS to get their shit together in order to put out a warrant. Also we added all the stolen property up and it = 5,070$
That's a felony, mate. State should be getting involved over the counties.
Gotta bring the alcohol into this AA thread as well. People try things masquerading as moonshine, then try moonshine lite. [video=youtube;L5J62dfPq88]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5J62dfPq88[/video] I hope none of them drove home....
