Great White Taco build

Thats what I did

 

what is the difference between high mileage synthetic and normal synthetic oil? @Gunshot-6A

just internal stuff?

 

They generally have stuff like higher detergent content, seal conditioners, etc. The logic being high mileage engines are more "tired" than lower mileage engines.

 

so would you say its necessary for over 100k miles? Or "its a Toyota, its just getting broken in. Use normal synthetic"

 

I just use the regular 5w30. The higher mileage stuff softens seals so they swell a little bit to presumably avoid leaks. I don't want seals swelling on my 100k yota truck vs a 100k chevy sedan on its last legs.

 

@w.adventures civic giving me problems (just replaced the $8 thermostat, and ordered a $40 radiator)... And doing a random search and this popped up

Not a bad deal! I officially hate red cars after owning the Matrix. Still haven’t replaced the clutch and I get to drive it for the first time in a month tomorrow.

 

Im happy my civic lasted this long, but mad that I had to put $50 into it.. been looking around, but nothing seems to be sticking out to me. I guess Ill have to keep it for now

 

I am always looking. I want something sporty and cheap. This popped up but it’s red...

Dang! That’s a good deal.

 

We could start a Honda Fit club. Tempted to offer $2k https://greensboro.craigslist.org/cto/d/asheboro-2008-honda-fit/7305633919.html

 

get ready to replace ignition cyclinder on that if not already done. Just learning these little quirks along the way.

Went on a test drive tonight, and I forgot to plug in the thermostat temp sensor. But still didnt fix. Have a new radiator and hoses on order. Also going to try to swap the thermostats again

 

I need to just bite the bullet and get the clutch changed.

 

its been over a year right?

 

Almost 9months now. Probably have driven it less than 1000 miles.

 

@whatstcp AFE is having a sale until tomorrow. 22% off. So i had to scoop an aluminum radiator.

 

$381 shipped. I used to have boost. Wasnt for me. Sold it to @Darkgoatracer a while ago. Its hard to find premium gas in the mountains

 

Mostly availability of gas/mpg. At the time I was using the truck as my daily, so fillups were $70+. I went to the beach a few times and where I was, they didnt have premium available. I had the TRD tune. I had also picked it up from a friend who was parting out his truck, so I was helping him out. Then I in turn helped out @Darkgoatracer .

Proof it was there.. September 2018 is around when it was swapped to Nick's truck.

 

@Darkgoatracer some building going on today..
