First time starting the 1jz in this cold (5celcius) weather. Ecu was like: was it all that cold air and shit going on bro? I never saw that in my life, let me use the factory fuel mapping while I try to adjust shit for you bro, hope you let me some time. Don'T worry I'm taking care of everything. it ran uber rich for a minute then stabilized to 14.7~15.2 as usual and everything was fine. I'm not used to correction that fast, old 7m took like 15min of one condition to adapt, I needed like 10 cold morning startup before it understood what was going on.
Cam back from work at like 3 or 4celcius yesterday, my fuel trims took a dump too :v

Approximately 30 Dodge Vipers just went by my house.
[QUOTE=opaali;37831597]why is everyone obsessed with beetles all of a sudden a 40 year old car that's not special in any way[/QUOTE] Idno man its a pretty iconic car. No one chooses their opinions either, they just like what they like and there just so happens to be a few people here that like them.

[QUOTE=opaali;37831597]why is everyone obsessed with beetles all of a sudden a 40 year old car that's not special in any way[/QUOTE] i beg to differ on the "not special in any way" part, considering the time in which they were designed they're pretty damn special. personally, i like the aircooled H4 engine and transaxle setup, I think it's a neat idea. Plus, the cars are a boatload of fun to drive. They may be "slow" by today's standards but i believe in the old adage, "driving a slow car fast is more fun than driving a fast car slow". I can romp on it and generally make quite the racket but still maintain a reasonable speed - you suddenly realize just how fast 30mph is when you're sitting in a tin can literally shoulder to shoulder with someone with a windshield about a foot away from you. beside that, i love the look. in full stock form, they're rather attractive and when they've been "baja'd" (like mine) they take on a whole new personality. even at that, every car is different, they've all got their own unique identity. 40+ years of existence in a car not meant to last nearly that long coupled with the fact they were generally owned by those who were a little less than well off makes for some interesting fixes and weird ways of doing things, though sometimes that's not exactly a good thing. considering the cars were designed in the 30s they were actually a good deal ahead of their time, especially considering their production in post-war Germany and the fact they were so inexpensive but still rather capable. They're truly as close to a set of LEGO blocks on wheels as you can get, changing an engine takes less than an hour (especially if you're good at it) and you could easily swap bodies in a day. You can remove and replace the front beam in an afternoon. Hell, you could re-wire the whole car with nothing but a spool of wire, a pocket full of spade connectors and a pair of lineman's pliers. yep. i'm an ACVW fanboy and i'm not ashamed to admit it.

Called the guy who owns the Mustang. He said he can dig up papers on the engine, and the only reason he's selling it is because he lost his license. I'm going to drive up and take a look at it Sunday evening hopefully. There is one problem, where can I get a loan for $5K US? I called my bank but they don't do loans on cars any later than 2006, or any less than $7.5K. argggg.

They wouldn't even consider it when I told them it was for a 1990 Mustang. Think I might have to look for someone online or something. I'll make more calls, but if anyone else has any suggestions let me know.

I think it'd look nice [editline]28th September 2012[/editline] I at least want to change out the entire headlight set since the current lights are abysmally terrible [editline]28th September 2012[/editline] [IMG]http://puu.sh/19uvU/91181c8476e2a27dec749fb04914dc93[/IMG] that's what those headlights look on a black prelude i think they'd look nice on my red too [editline]28th September 2012[/editline] [IMG]http://puu.sh/19uyg/628b990b6ff3db2c031f1c777c940ddb[/IMG] lights off for contrast [editline]28th September 2012[/editline] [IMG]http://puu.sh/19uFL/f46c46ea07030604ee2e3715cb7d1b5a[/IMG] that's what I'm after black trim on the bottom, dark lights i like the silver rims though, I might just keep my hubcaps on
[QUOTE=opaali;37831597]why is everyone obsessed with beetles all of a sudden a 40 year old car that's not special in any way[/QUOTE] You've said that before and I made a fool of you then. Do you want me to do that again?
Easy now, we're still all bros, just different opinions from different people. Let's not get into eachothers throats again. :v:
hey, i dont like beetles all that much but you dont see me making a big deal out of it calm your tits señor

[QUOTE=Protocol7;37834375]bout $150 shipped with bulbs included [/QUOTE] Do they at least include NORMAL Halogen bulbs, or shitty Blue painted ones like they used in the picture? Can't stand all kids I see around my area who's headlights are dimmer than my turn signals due to cheap Coated halogen bulbs. "Buts it blue like hid yo".
