1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Stephanie did hint more than once she'd wanna head out there, meet the kids and wife

I told her you're always working though

 

I dont even work weekends anymore

 

I got the upgraded AAA service and I’m gonna tow it to a different shop after the weekend for a second opinion.

If they confirm it’s a bad engine, there’s a guy with 60-70k mile JDM engines down in Dallas who seems to have a good reputation, and they’re around 2800 plus shipping. Or there’s higher-mileage junkyard motors for less than half that.

I also posted someone’s farm truck 96 yesterday with a tough body but apparently y good engine for 5k.

In any case, I’m gonna see what I can get for the sliders and leafs. Trying to sell the truck, I tell people that those along with the tires/wheels and various other parts are probably worth a couple grand alone, but that doesn’t seem to compute with them.

 

Eh

 

So you're telling me we should visit you guys on a weekend?

 

Yeap lol

 

How often do y'all replace the oil in your air compressors?

Once a year?

Think I should grab some and change it soon

 

4000 operating hours. Unless its a screw then its 2k

 

Well obviously I never installed an hour meter

 

Look at the bright side. It could be a 04 Civic with 121,000 miles that's been in the family since it was new. It was a good little car when it was, and now it's not. It carried one kid through school in Fayetteville. And another for years. I remember when my mom gave it to my daughter when it had 24,000 miles. She drove it for about two weeks and said to me, "Dad, it's a nice car, and I appreciate Grandma giving it to me -- but I'd rather drive my 99 I30 (4th gen Maxima) with 250,000 miles because it has more get up (VQ30) and go and a better stereo (original bose). She didn't know I had sound deadened when her brother had it.

I don't want to put any money into a car that I don't like. Honda's make me crazy to work on them.

 

I accidentally bumped into this while searching for "Go Big or Go Home".

Theres where you went wrong

 

This thing is undeserving of such a nice engine

 

Oooh I see a snail

 

Yup, this is that 2RZ we've been building

 

Digging the exhaust work too, man that's badass

 

Thing has been tough. Going to have to rework our downpipe one more time I think, which I'm pissed about cuz it was so fucking close. Even did a hard line turbo drain which I'm happy we can leave alone cuz it was kind of hard.
