I'd be tempted if it wouldn't cost me $800 in gas round trip :biglaugh: Be nice to do some surfing too...

Jon and I rolled up to the local meetup tonight, nice to finally have something to show
Did some cruising, up to 125 miles with no issues yet other than the ignition problem
Sweet
Yeah the 7m coils are real stout. On rare occasions they are really the culprit but most of the time, it is a grounding issue.
Up to 180mi now, still running good Refilled the tank, ended up getting 17.5mpg, not bad for around town driving. I'm at the fun part now, driving and putting the rest of the stuff in as I feel like it

225mi FTL :biglaugh: Was backing into the garage after my MSF class tonight and noticed a trail of coolant under the car, seems the outlet on my heater control valve decided to break off, I'm probably lucky I made it home...
Time for a parts search...

no it just eliminates the valve. It sends coolant to the heater core at all times that way. Doing so takes a little of the A/C systems efficiency away.
Hittin up the depot at lunch, forgot to check what the hose size was but I'm remembering 5/8", can anyone confirm?
Well, thought I had it fixed... Picked up a few 90deg copper elbows at lunch and went home to fix it up. 1/2" fit the best (it was either 1/2 or 3/4), got everything tightened up and refilled/burped the system and drove it to work. Pulled in the parking garage and was letting the car cool down and one of the hoses blew off the elbow
Scott-how did you get yours to stay on? There's not a ton of surface area to clamp on with the small elbows, guess it either wasn't enough or my heater core is clogged making the pressure higher...

Caught a ride and picked one up, we'll see if it holds this time... Now to actually do some damn work today instead of messing with the Supra...
Josh,
I just used a brass elbow from Lowes and a standard worm clamp. The plastic one with a lot of surface area would be better IMHO.

Got the heater hose fixed but am having ignition problems again. I think the issue is that the center coil harness connector is busted (no internal plastic left) and my uncracked coils are missing pieces of the plastic where the harness clips in. The other set I have have the full plastic where the harness clips but have cracks on the bottoms of the coil housings. Guess I'll try to find a good set of coils and a coil pack harness that isn't chewed up...
Fixed the harness clips and swapped coils around this weekend, still running rough Still need to pull the plugs but I decided to put 200mi on my "new" bike this weekend instead

Temps are back in the upper 90s, too hot for even perf'd leather... Back to the Supra I go, wish my garage had a/c :biglaugh:
