So I fixed all the issues with my EF, down to the last one -- the TPS. THen I drove down the street to the post office and turned around, two blocks tops, and my tranny took a shit on me.
lol whoops
lol whoops
That sounds like something our minivan would do!
Whoops, turns out my axle just exploded.
Stupid STD/HF axles... Only axles I have are splined for Si/DX...
TIME FOR BIG BRAKE UPGRADE!
I stripped the old crusty paint off my hood today and I tried to get my engine to idle without stalling but no luck with that.
Yesterday and today, I worked on a 79' Ford F700 Tow truck, called Big Moe. Moes got a 370 7.1L V8 and needs alot of TLC, but he can still spin the tires. Moe belonged to my friend Carl's dad and his friend before his dad died. Carl now works for his dads friend as a tow truck driver and Moe has become a restore project.
Will post vid, once I get it.

Dat rust
Looks a lot worse than I thought it was.
Went and traded Jap's EG hatch for a GSR swapped '91 CRX Si.
Glad I went with him or he'd still be there... thing ran like shit, tranny dropped 3rd gear and 4th gear is there but refuses to play nice. So he drove it home with the timing off by a tooth on the intake side and 2 and a half gears.
But he likes it... So we're going to build a D series and drop back in there for now and then work on a D17 stroker for later.
..I would have gotten a dolly and towed that home if it were me. I don't like trying to drive a car with a bad gear, can't shake the feeling bits of the bad gear will annihilate the still good ones while I'm miles from home.
Wow, you're boring. :P
:P
I'm not afraid to use my truck as a truck, haha.
Some of the funnest times me and Jap have had has been the times we could have been stuck on the side of the road forever.
That's what makes it fucking [i]fun[/i]. Mediocrity is for losers.
Haha, well I'm a reliability fanboy, so I prefer to avoid my own vehicle being the reason we're there. I will agree that it's fun times at times, though. I let my friends do all the breaking down, I'm the one with that rusty old heap that just won't fucking die. :v:
On an entirely unrelated note, trying to understand Rick Santorum's logic is easier than trying to understand the wiring of 80's Fords. If it works, it works, if it doesn't work you just rewire it on your own. I'm trying to get my cig lighter to work for the first time in a decade so I can charge my phone on the go, and I decided the best course to take would be to pop down to RS, buy a few feet of somewhat thick wire, a 5a inline fuse and holder, and a few connectors. With those items I'll run a brand new 5a fused hot line to it, plenty enough for cell phone charges. I'm not even going to attempt to trace the rat's nest under my dash. The hot wire going into it right now is about six inches long before it disappears into a huge harness wrapped up in electrical tape, and from there there's no telling where it goes.
98 Honda Accord
New air filter (The fucking one in this car was BLACK, It made my engine light go on replaced went off)
New Cat Converter (Needed)
Removed a heatshield (It rattled when i drove so buhbye)
99 Pontiac Grand Prix
Just put the pontiac in the shop for new headlight units, Pics tonight or tommorow
[QUOTE=justin1992;34973436]Does the cone that covers your cone actually do anything? Other than the obvious feeding it cold air while you had the feed on the end of it. But because it's not there anymore, it just looks like it would hinder performance[/QUOTE]
I know your post is 3 days old... but the cone is a velocity stack. It creates a larger vacuum of air into the intake. You'd see much more of a performance gain in a car with forced induction, but theoretically it's only a positive upgrade. In a tiny little NA motor like that, you're not going to feel anything from it though.

WHat you have is something of an inverted velocity stack.
A velocity stack is designed so that air flows from a larger area into the intake, creating a larger mass of air opposed to volume, increasing the efficiency of a tubular intake pipe:

What you have (bottom) is a velocity stack in reverse (going into your filter housing), air comes in at a set volume because the stack end is "facing the wrong way" and so the same mass of air increases in volume, leading to no gain, essentially as efficient as a straight-through intake pipe, rendering the large cone filter airbox rather pointless.
Big Moe, pics first I guess...

i took my tailpipes off because i broke both of my exhaust clamps and now its really fucken loud for some reason i guess it's the noise bouncing around constantly under the car ??
dumping the exhaust after the mufflers alone generates a lot more noise, that's why some people like to exit it out the sides right after the muffler, lot better tone.

mine doesnt sound good at all its all droney and it fucks with my ears from idle-1500 rpm and then after that it sounds the same as it used to
crawled under jeep
contemplating cutting piping off a few inches prior to the cat for MAXIMUM BRUP.
possibly make it dump out behind the front tire because fucking racejeepsuvcartruck
I think the reason is clear.

Not always. I'm running a side dump like that on my F150, but it only gets noisy if there's a lot of load or RPMs at play. At idle it's quiet enough that you can whisper over it.
The catalytic converter muffles quite a bit of racket. A mild enough engine can get away with just a cat and still slip under noise laws.
My CRX has just a cat and still wasn't annoying loud.
My Civic has just a cat and still wakes up the dead.
So pontiac needs new manifold footed 730$ bill
Pontiac , w-body, 3800, any parts, check on ZZPerformance.
$730 for any kind of manifold job is ridiculous.
Replacing it plus oil change and coolant change and installing headlights
