1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

@Empty_Lord need some hand-me-downs? I know you love free shit.

Think my son already has some sweats he doesn't fit into (or never did).

 

They're gonna be too big for him

 

I'm tired of removing the front differential. It's uncomfortable to bench press and it takes forever to get angled in right

 

Oh and I'll throw this out there

@Wulf kicked my ass earlier in racing and that balloon bursting game in Mario Kart

Got competition @Tour991

 

Ouch

 

Real talk, mr2 done?

 

He's regular short Dan, not Motor Swap Dan... Of course his isn't done.

 

the white one is plated and i drive it legally. need to remove the speedo and recap it. but i have working speed from the OBD2. and cruise works. waiting on A/C lines for under the car to button up the a/c

 

it also has a brand new OEM transmission im just waiting on a quaife LSD for.. its getting the quaife and a 3.9 final to address this transmissions miserable clutch type LSD. alex wilhelm and FMW will be having me put a pre-production exhaust on the car to dyno it for a before vs after with the updated manifolds and y pipe.

 

I just got a new compressor and condenser is not mounted yet. Dreading making ac work almost as much as the heat I will have to deal with.

 

mr2 underbody a/c lines are made of fucking gold.. i've got a set sitting in arizona that are going to be getting boxed up and sent to me (or freighted on a crate to minimize damage.. legit the only issue i have with the a/c is my missing under body lines. wiring and all that is done and been tested. just needs freon moving in the system and this cars ready to rock

 

Idk if the oem route is more of a pain in the ass or the making the lines yourself part. They both suck. I hate all plumbing on cars. fuel, ac, heat, brake etc.

 

The fucking ac amplifier for the 1st gen is weird. Actually that's a good question for @Empty_Lord I think, does the AC amplifier actually need the I/O from the ECU to run or will it work without it

 

i think its just the idle up target trigger

 

making a/c lines is one thing i really dont want to do... this car started as r12. so its already a mess of fittings 134 never had lol

 

Hmm okay, well maybe I can get by without hooking that up to the haltech. There's like no information as to what the two pins from AC amp to ECU are used for.

 

My wiring is pulled to engine for idle down, pressure. ecu controls everything.

Oh, thats another whole thing. Fuck that.

 

I worked for 10 years in my county school system in the Technology dept. I had a great job. They paid me to drive around the county everyday from school to school doing computer or networking repairs. The only part I didn't agree with was the school system here was heavily Mac, when the real business world outside is mostly controlled by Windows.
But I saw firsthand the BS the teachers had to endure with undisciplined kids, all the way from 1st grade to seniors in high school. After just six months on the job, I knew Teaching would never ever work for me. If a teacher had a really bad kid in the classroom there was little they could do about it. Couldn't kick them out of class or suspend them because most were considered "Problem" kids and were immune from any type of punishment. There were days that I would have to stop what I was working on and leave the classroom until that class was over. Dam kids could be screaming loud, disrupting the class for those wanting the learn, and nothing was done. I wanted to put my foot up their ass, but new better.

 

Why did you have to remove it?

 

honestly its not soo bad. if i use OEM everything.. i just need the custom lines i already have from rear lines to compressor. very small lines to deal with.

my curse is 30 year old low volume sports car.
