1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I knew it.

 

How is the "empty wallet mod" going?

 

Something my wife hasn't taken too kindly to over the first year of our marriage.

Realistically I have more income since I began it in 2017, but more incentive to not empty my money out on the truck lately...

For posterity I guess this is one of the rare posts I'll show a pic of the cash killer:

 

It looks great. Getting married defiantly changed priorities and cash flow. That's why I use the parts trucks to fund my projects.

 

Miata came back, I’m new to adjustable coilovers so we had to dial in the final height adjustment. Sits much better now.

 

Some of my old students started getting into cars and one of them bought a cheap beat up Miata - seems like a cool little sporty rwd gomobile

 

I love the process you've made work. If I lived anywhere but the city by now my property would look like a first gen graveyard - in fact hiding behind my truck are two rear axles, a v6, a 5 speed 4x4 trans and a couple totes out of sight with a spare front diff and random engine parts I've hidden away after tearing down one for practice.

 

It's worked out really well, I even am able to put money in the rainy day savings for non truck related stuff. I wish I had room for about 5 trucks in 1 shot but I think my neighbors would kill me.
Any chance you have a v6 automatic radiator?

 

Only for a T100

 

Hail hit us again. Not softball sized like last year but my buddy further west got golf ball sized. We got tiny bits here thankfully.

But it will be back soon. I give it a week or two.

 

I just need to buy a new one for the 4runner but spending cash on coilovers and leather seats is way more fun.

 

Looks badass!

 

Like the actual flame comes on but doesn’t stay on?

 

@eon_blue

On the things that really make it short cycle is either

low airflow like a filter or the blower motor isn’t working or dirty.

the flame sensor is bad or dirty

the thermostat is bad

or the heat exchanger is cracked. (Bust usally with this you will smell gas in the house, but if it is this then the unit is trash. Valve it off and leave it!

 

It wont let the heater light if the flow switch doesn’t close.

the fact the heater lights tells me that it works.

 

They are also rated in inch it water column. Because thats how we measure air pressure

 

Isn't it measured with inHg? Which has to do with barometric pressure.. which is why you want to measure it like that, because it'll be different depending on your location on earth?

 

Nah. I have a tube full of water and thats how i measure pressure in a unit.

all the pressure switches in hvac say inwc

 

Crazy.. thanks for the education I just looked up the difference

inwc is used in low pressure applications and inHg is used in higher pressure applications

 

I shit the bed last night... I didn't submit my rockauto cart cause I wanted to add the grand vitara alternator but was looking for the right year and never finished my search.

Go to check out this morning and rock auto only has 3 injectors now.. They're 76 bucks on the site. I could buy the 4th from oriellys but they want 122 for it
