Been driving the car for 2 weeks now and so far......
Blew p/s return line
new oil leak in pan.. can see it this time, thinking relieving some pressure off the PCV system might be the answer by utilizing a catch-can
Speedo cable broke.
Will post pics soon though of nifty new ride height

^ That excited eh? lol However, you are the first one to catch that, so you win a bacon covered cookie!!!
Well moving has been done for a couple weeks now. I haven't done anything to the car but drive it. Broke front lip, might have to talk to Rob about his "spare" one.
Other than that.... I haven't lost ambition I assure you. However when you've been hemorrhaging funds during a move and such... blah.
In a bit of good news: Did get to take the car on its first long trip of 200 miles, complete with some twisties, switch backs, hair pins, and a few blind corners... at no less than 60mph up to 100mph. Twas fun.:icon_bigg
So now.. when I finally start working on the Sup again: Need to replace turbo, and muffler. Both of those are driving me nuts. Not a fan of magnaflow at all.:nono:

With all the humidity we've been having up here in the great white north, have been noticing some either fuel or boost issues and seemingly hitting a "wall" at about 5psi. After some consultation with Steve, it seems that a recirculation of the SSQV is in order, and that is very true....
However finding a broken wire on the pigtail leading to the MAF wasn't helping either. Hooray for 20+ year old harnesses!!

Drew, talk to Sean. I know he has the Lexus AFM in the garage. I don't think he has the 550's but he might.
This weekend I went to STEVE'S and we corrected some wiring issues as well as finally installed better intercooler and hard pipe!:icon_bigg
Also, finally taking recent interior pics!
Battery and Fan wiring fix
STEVE and Emilio and I in the fabrication/ process

I lied. 550s and Lexus didn't happen. What did happen was this: Changed plugs and swapped cam covers for shiny pretty powder coated niftyness. Spark plugs came out as such... Cyl #1 Oily... :3d_frown: #2 Rich with a tint of red and slight blistering suggesting hint of lean. #3 looked stellar, #4 looked much like #2, only it was further back on the head. Cyls #5 and #6 were not quite normal and not quite lean.... Shoulda Fixed that MAF wire sooner and done rings....::hang::
