hey Clint, being in the service, here is something u can appreciate, my mom is part of the qov program(quilts of valor) which, if ur not familiar with, is where people make quilts for injured service people, so that when the are admitted to the hospital(or whatever u call it in the service) they are presented with a lap size quilt, and here is her contribution to the cause

its not done yet but here is her current progress

[speedfoos]

LOL - we still call it a hospital! That's really nice Adam, tell your Mom thanks from me for what she's doing for GIs. We all really appreciate it!

Good question Jose. My daughter's nickname was tweefoos when she was a baby, and since I'm a car nut, speedfoos just kind of made sense.

I fixed the valve cover I dropped a few months ago so I will be painting it up soon along with a 4th Gen one for a local buddy of mine. I want to have another option (maybe). Or I might just take color requests and sell it.

awesome, nice to hear u got it running right! ur a funny ass guy man...

[LogicWavelength]

Ok... I have a stupid question... coolant lines to the turbo? I don't have those... nor any port for them to go into in the turbo housing... is it just for certain types of turbos?

[skipbarber]

^ expensive turbos are water cooled. my $400 t3 super 60 isnt one of those, so dont feel bad.

[LogicWavelength]

OK... WHEWWWW.... I thought for a second I had another thing to add to my list in my other thread. Who's Turbo Sucks More?

[speedfoos]

Yeah, they extend the life of the turbo a bit by keeping them cooler. But even better (I'm still at work).....

WOOHOOOOOO

[boosted.es2]

so when you gonna bring your car to the states so we can all race you? lol

[MarchMadnessisM]

im actually somewhat sad, smoking some cars knowing u have a sock alternator belt would be honda legend but oh well if a "belt" is what you feel is best then i guess you have to do what you have to do

[speedfoos]

I move back to the states next summer, probably the MD area, although Uncle Sam does silly things sometimes...

I gotta finish the lawn (knee gave out yesterday, had to stop) and then finish everything and datalog it at idle once more. Then its out with the oil, off with the VC, check the rod bolts and road test tomorrow!

Back in a bit...

[FoSho]

Damn foos!!! I been gone a week and you done all that!!! Props on the video
I finally got my turbo ripped out last weeked and got all the bolts tighened back up, all gauges working, new welded pan on, and new -AN fittings on return looks sick! However my dumptup does not clear my oil return, back to the welder...

I tried installing the customer SS radiator hose but it leaks like a son of a bitch!! Do not get those!!! OMG they suck! I had 5 clamps on it and it would still not seal @ idle!!! I didn't dare drive it. So I have the stock hose repositioned so that it does not kink not barely touch my intercooler piping.

My coolant pushing problem works for two days then acts up again. I took her on a 3 hour highway drive and It never overheated. Blowing 38 degrees a/c all the way too I now know I need an oil cooler. Oil temps are @ 210 after driving around awhile. My temps on the way back got to 240 degrees!! Yikes!!! It was 105 that day. She made it but when I got back into town the overflow spewed coolant all over the place. It pushed all my coolant out almost!!! How did your hose work out foos?

So I been driving her around the past week with not too many problems. The I give a mustang a go last night and blow my downpipe bolts loose again. I put a sealant compound & lock washers on em and they came loose faster. So I gotta pull it again!!! I don't know what I'm gonna do. This is gonna be a joke if I gotta do this every week! Any suggestions?

What luck huh? My new tranny is here though! I'll post pics after work!!!

P>S -- I seen your post about Catch cans....I have my stock pcv valve drilled out, a line running from the valve to my catch can, then one line into the port on the valve cover. Intercooler piping is dry and she aint blown up. I suppose it's working!!
