Your dad sounds as bad as my mom, but she hasn't tried anything on my car yet. You need a new engine. From what it sounds like, it ran low on coolant and spun a bearing or developed rod knock. Revving the engine in the driveway, probably while the engine was cold, was a HORRIBLE idea. You will...

I've had absolutely zero problems with my electric fans (Flex-a-lite from SupraSport) and my Fluidyne Radiator (also from them). Other than occasionally blowing the 30 amp fuse (kind of high, but whatever) because of the heat under the hood, it has worked flawlessly. On days when the temperature...

I e-mailed him from my email, njb7279@rit.edu. I need to sort things out with him :1zhelp:

I'd remove it too, the time to take it off would be well worth it in the odd event you cracked the rear glass. edit: didn't see your post above before I posted this haha. My bad. Side note: when you wipe the rear wiper blade, and it doesn't move all the way back up to a vertical position but...

Tanya: I have some relatives down in VA that I might visit in the upcoming years haha. Never know :P Justin: What you said makes sense now, it could've been taken a couple different ways. Not your fault.

Eesh, didn't know about any new kits from driftmotion. I'll check it out regardless, thanks for the tip! Cool cool, nice city. Maybe I'll run into you/your car a few years down the road :) They seem to be of great quality, at least that's what I've heard from everyone.

With the stock 5 quarts of oil in the car, under hard cornering and/or braking, ertain parts of the engine and oiling system are deprived of oil. Running an extra quart or two (I run two over) will not harm anything on the motor (no oil seals), and won't rob any horsepower, as the crankshaft...

Wonderful timing haha :icon_bigg Thank you very much though, I'll send him an email in the morning. Don't you live around here? (off topic) Davismj: As far as I knew, MDC stopped machining the flanges (which is why SupraSport stopped carrying them, as they sold MDC stuff) and AZP...

I've been trying to order a braided oil line kit for my CT26 for a week or two now, no emails from them as of yet. Is there any way to contact them besides the three email addresses located on their page? I also filled out the form on the front page, but nothing. Or another website that has a...

Stuff happens. At least his car is still in one piece and running well.

He seems pretty intelligent if he has those mods done to his car, and isn't treating the car like crap haha. I'm one of the last people to talk about the 7M that way, don't worry ;) I (as you can see from my post count) don't post much on SM, more on SF. Every time someone suggests a 2JZ swap...

Ahh, the time delay makes perfect sense then. Good thing he had the SAFC set up so high then, smart move! If you tune your car, yeah, you can turn up the boost more than you normally could. I was just dishing out info for people on a general level. Point taken :P

Thank you for posting the stock horsepower/torque record on a 7M. I saw that weeks ago, and that in NO WAY pertains to what this guy is going through. 30 psi on record holding 7M: 1000cc injectors. OP? 550cc. Once again, the modifications to the engine were put on for the sole purpose of...

Oh my god, I spelled that wrong. That's ironic...my bad. Aaaaallll riiighhtt....constructive. 93 octane is only good for around 16 psi anyways. Any more than that, you'll start detonating and very annoying things will happen. 30 psi on a 60-1 CT26 is very bad for the turbo, as its not...

Your dumb.

If he had got a second opinion from someone who isn't completely RETARDED, he wouldn't be in this situation. Both the block and the head need to be resurfaced if you can feel ANY imperfections with your finger, or see something as huge as the imprint of the last headgasket. Dur, thats not good...

Some guy over on SF had a crack in his block, which allowed coolant to pour into one of the oil passages. Maybe your head/block has a hairline crack which is allowing coolant to go into the chambers and be burned off. Only thing I can think of.

LMAO. Dude, go fix that now. This might be a painstaking process, but I implore you to go check all vacuum, coolant and oil hoses/lines to make sure they are NOT gooped up like that.

It's perfectly fine haha :) I wondered where you were a few times, as you are usually all over...well, everything. I appreciate the help you give. Now go back to sleep! :D

It just screwed right out with some more coercing. Then, I couldn't get the end and the tie rod to unscrew....tried JB Welding the ball joint so I could throw it in a vice and crank it out, but that didn't work. Then I saw the rusted remains of a hexagonal section on part of the tie rod, so I...
