Car got towed home. I dont think i lost all oil still need to check that. Got all appropriate AN fittings and hoses to replace.
Dayum! That sucks big time!
This weekend went great, I installed the struts and new sway bars with help from my father and here is the result, I'm thinking the rear will go down a little bit more once I get the rear sway bar in as it didn't come with the drop links nor mounts but I have ordered them in.
I also stripped out the boot area to leave everything exposed I quite like it so I will keep all the plastics out for now until I sort out a rear strut brace and fix my rear light gaskets.

Tearing ass through a praking garage with wet pavement and a bunch of big ass pillars is a recipe for disaster. I'm just saying.
So there I am at 5 am driving home and bam!!!!
BHG number 4 FML... as I write this I'm stuck in a parking lot
Here some photo's to go with it for the tread title lol.

Bought a set (think this was either the second or third set of wheels I bought for this car) of the Konig Villians for my 89, they ended up on the girlfriend's Mazda3. Look pretty damned good on there too.Orion ZyGarian;1863358 said:

As for me, changed out my spark plugs over the weekend. Found that #2 had a bit more oil on it than I would have liked. My friend that I turn to for quick diagnostics of things like this says it is either the piston ring letting too much blow by under boost, or that cylinder is the closest to the PCV system (which that would be #3, 4, and 5), soooo... yeah. Hopefully that isn't a sign of bad things to come.
Also, lost a bolt for the coil pack cover, it fell down into the turbo side of things. After a valiant effort, I called off the search, and decided to test drive the car. Heard the bolt pinging and bouncing around, but before I could do anything about it, it was gone. Pretty sure it is out on the road somewhere if it hasn't been run over already. Feel like an asshole for leaving a bolt on the road, Lord knows I've run over enough of them myself...
Good news is though, my breaking up has gone away, and the car boosts up to about 17-18 psi before settling down at 15-16, AFR's holding steady in the mid-12's on stock injectors.

Uhh... he posted a video tearing ass through a parking garage while the pavement was wet and there were big ass pillars all around him. He then sheepishly deleted the vid not wanting to be flamed any further.

Is running mid 12's AFR under WOT on 93octane a bad thing? I understand people want to be around 11.5-11.7's.

Yeah there was a video, private car park. Was raining out so needed to get a sound clip while my buddy had his schools camera but I removed it to avoid further confusion
On 91-93 I would only run 11.5-11.8 to be at the happy spot. On E85 I run 12.0-12.3 @ WOT. On Pump 91-93 12.5 is to lean under load.

I agree although i'm not really familiar with tuning 1j's but for on any motor running 91-93 octane i wouldn't go leaner then 11.5
91 from our local Exxon (believe it is E10-E15 mix this time of year). Been running it like this for a couple years now, and the plugs still look like things are well. Wouldn't run it for long periods of time at afr's like that though, I know better.Devin LeBlanc;1863992 said:

Yes, bought these off of a friend with an R33 GT-R who went to a single throttle setup. If I'm going to need a custom intake for a front facing setup anyways, why not get the most out of it? Plus they arent super expensive like most ITB setups are
