    Saw an msp for sale on 151 heading to Beaver Dam

    Yellow on the left hand side if your heading north, the right hand south (duh), looks like a sign asking 11k in the window. Just sitting at the end of a long gravel driveway. FYI Also, who's up for some wings tonight? I'll be the first round of beers. Come one, come all. And I'll have the...

    Ported/Polish and VTCS/VICS removed manifold in, but problems ahoy!

    Turns out there was a leak coming from the throttlebody gasket, so that's fixed now. And my idle was acting funny which turned out to be a pinched throttle cable. So now everything is fine but I'm thinking about selling the car. My other car has issues and I don't think i can support two bad...

    Ported/Polish and VTCS/VICS removed manifold in, but problems ahoy!

    I should probably clarify that when the she starts and revs to about 3, then drops almost to dead, then up to about 6, then down to dead, and usually dies then. But I reckon it is a leak. I'll pickup some carb cleaner and give it a shot. Oh and I did reset the ecu but no dice there. *shrug*...

    Ported/Polish and VTCS/VICS removed manifold in, but problems ahoy!

    I've checked to see if the problem is the idle air control solenoid but that's not the culprit... le sigh

    Ported/Polish and VTCS/VICS removed manifold in, but problems ahoy!

    So I've got my manifold in, and reconnected all my hoses and plugged in everything. When I start the car, it starts a bit rough, then revs very high, then drops down again. It doesn't seem to pay attention to the gas pedal, as I cannot get it to hold a steady rpm. Also, I get a high pitched...

    Request for some pics of your intake manifolds

    I, because I suck quite alot, managed to lose one of my injector gaskets so I can't finish my intake manifold install. However, just to be sure, I'd like some shots of people's manifold with the engine cover off. Just to make sure my notes line up, as I think I got two hoses confused. Any...

    Any advice on getting the f*#@*(& EGR pipe off the intake manifold?

    Okay, I got it off. I thought, for once, and decided I'd have more wiggle room if I took the top half of the manifold off. Worked like a charm then, was able to get the EGR unscrewed. Now I'm thinking about how to do the rear motor mount. I couldn't get the nut off from below that plastic...

    Any advice on getting the f*#@*(& EGR pipe off the intake manifold?

    I thought about that, and tried it a bit too but no luck. The heatshield is stuck because of the o2 sensor and I don't have an o2 socket. I suppose I should go buy one since I'll have to go get a wrench. Know what size that bolt for the part going into the EGR valve? 17mm, 19mm?

    Any advice on getting the f*#@*(& EGR pipe off the intake manifold?

    I've got my new p & p'd IM ready to go on, and I've got the stock one almost out of the car. However, it's that damnable EGR pipe that I just can't get off. I sprayed it with PB Blaster and WD40, but no go there. I've got a crescent wrench but it's not getting a good enough grip. Does anyone...

    Possible Food Outing?

    Just curious as to what ya'll are doing the last weekend of August, perhaps that Saturday the 26th? Perhaps some wings can be ingested? Or ribs devoured? Your thoughts my good wisconsonians!

    Hinge + lock lubicration suggestions

    Just curious what ya'll would suggestion I use. :-) Oh, and for my rear bumper sag, any suggestions besides 3M double-sided exterior tape? I test tried out a few pieces, but it doesn't look very good. Granted I haven't fully taken off the bumper, goo b goned the full rear, and looked at the...
