1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I just got mine in March this year. I have wanted one for 15 years. It's too bad I didn't get one when they were 15k but it's probably one of the most fun cars I have ever driven. I love it.

 

I had gone single turbo (paid for it at a shop) and when she spooled up, she pinned you into the seat hard

A different feeling than the torque of a V8 for sure; that shit with a single was way more fun than when I had done the non-sequential mod

 

I'm parallel twins right now with front mount, haltech 2500 and upgraded fuel system. I cannot wait to go single turbo. The stock turbos are VERY lazy. But it still makes 300whp on 12psi and is very light and fun!

 

Have fun with it, I miss mine (sometimes)

I say that because I dared to daily drive it for over a year straight lol I remember my ex balking at the fact that I'd fire up the car and let it run a good 2mins before we went anywhere, and left it on for a decent length on a turbo timer

But even then, I would just sit in it and wait to shut it off

13 miles a gallon IIRC

 

Hope you checked your bank after that lol. Thats one expensive paper weight

 

Picture was from a Machinist group!

I'll make due with my tiny tap and die set

 

is he trying to hitch a ride outside?

 

I think I see Newark Ave in the video. Reminds me of NJ.

 

The floods in TVA service areas could lead to another car/truck shortage.

 

I managed 24.3mpg driving Zane to tri cities to pick up his bmw. Was pretty impressed by that! But my daily economy sits around 18mpg give or take. Haltech does wonders on it

 

Man, so I wondered why a helicopter was hovering around town

This happened earlier in the afternoon





Driver died

They didn't release the story on the news but comments on FB (local) say apparently the steering locked up and the driver accidentally stepped on the gas pedal in a panic; struck a tree and locals tried performing CPR but the driver died before rescue crew arrived

Local car show/get together

 

Alright, my google-fu is failing me

Can someone find a PVC 'T' in these dimensions?



Best I found was a 3/4" x 3/4" x 1" slip, but I need the 1" opening to be threaded

 

Exactly my thoughts - the distance between the windshield and the seat is so small, not to mention those trucks ran lap belts only and no airbag

 

Hard brake line blew in half tonight, had to turn up hill into the sage grass. Guess the 07 will live in the mountain tonight

 

this with a 3/4>1" threaded adapter?

If you look at my above picture, I'm already using a threaded adapter for 3/4" to 1"

The issue is, it adds an extra 3-4" of height and it'll force me to run the drain to a hole I'll have to drill out at the center/rear of the reservoir

If I can find a 1" threaded T, I can screw in the in-line filter directly into said T

 

doh, I totally missed the context post

 

Ahh you're good

I'm the one that bought the T, bought the adapter, and mocked it up knowing it was going to add all that extra height only to realize afterward that....I need to trim it down some

But HD didn't have what I'm looking for, and I wasn't going to go out of town to Lowe's

I could try Lowe's and Ace on Monday but wanted to see if I can find something online first

My fault for going with a 1" inline filter versus the 3/4" version; I opted for a larger filter so there's less of a chance for things to clog (or clog as easily)

 

im not sure if there's another thing to search for but im not finding anything 3/4" slip x 3/4 slip x 1" fpt either

does it need to be entirely vertical? could try rotating the T above so the line comes down at 45 deg and see if that gives enough height back
