New Mexico Owners BS Thread

Are you talking about Banh Mi Coda? The little hole in the wall by Talin market? That place is great! I get a #6 - I think thats the beef one, not too much of a fan of any of the other sandwiches but that one is damn good

 

Yeah, that's the place! I just ask this one guy if he wants to go to the sandwich place, and he knows what I mean.

I've only been there 3-4 times, still trying new things. My favorite so far is the lemon pepper thingy. It's on the bottom row, I think. Going there Wednesday, actually!

 

Haha same here! My dad asks if I want one of those sandwiches and I know what he is talking about. I do enjoy those balls they have that are sesame seed crusted with some breading and doughy inside. They are so weird it's good! I will look for the lemon pepper thingy next time I go

 

Those little things are quite tastey, I've ran across a couple sides that wouldn't get again, but there is a canned drink they've had a couple times that is assume sort of fruit, with a white pulp that I can't recall the name of right now.

Bloody delicious!

Edit: lychee, that's the fruit.

 

Lychee is amazing! One of the times when we went to Hawaii we went down some back road and saw a sign for bags of lychee, we bought some not knowing how it tasted. Found out they are damn good little pieces of fruit.

A drink of it sounds great!

 

My wallet got owned by Black Friday/Cyber Monday....

$1,686 later, and I think I may have clicked the "checkout" button a few too many times.

Anyone else drop some coin?

 

I spent around $15 on a new cord for my dryer, then the next day, Saturday, I spent almost $25 on a junkyard has tank. Feel your pain.

 

I got kind of lucky black friday, remodeling my condo so cabinets, appliances, windows, etc. but my wallet is still hurting except it could have been worst…

 

Ordered a new cat-back kit because I don't feel like fixing a broken stud on the installed one. How's that for frivolous spending.

BTW Nick. Looks like I need that fuel pump. CEL came on after installing the 2.2" pulley. Ordering a scanguage so I can check if it is the lean code. So there's some more coin droppage there.

 

Tom, hows the charger coming along? besides the code.

 

Hmm... What do you mean by a broken stud?

 

DIBS!!! (if it's cheap/free)

See above. Doesn't matter what he means, I have a welder, and I can fix it!

 

We should get together during my vacation so I can look things over... I see no reason why you would be having issues considering that I'm running the same setup and mine runs cherry.

It might be worth pulling the base map off your URD box and comparing it to mine. I had some minor driveability issues for about 2K miles after I installed my URD 7th & 2.2. After awhile the truck re-learned how to fuel for the new setup and things smoothed out.

Anyway, I've got all the tuning equipment. We could so some tuning on mine, then upload my map to your rig and see how yours runs. You can always save & revert back to the base map if you don't like the changes.

 

Everything has been most excellent until I put on the smaller pulley. Figuring I'm running lean. Put the stock pulley back on and wait until I get the gumption to do the fuel pump.

O2 sensor stud behind the 2nd cat. The original studs came out when I dropped the exhaust for the clutch job. Replaced with some 8mm stainless bolts and decided I was an awesome mechanic and I could put new studs in. 1st one went in fine. 2nd one got cross-threaded and when I went to take it back out, sheered it. As a few things have gone wrong lately, I said "eff-it" and bought a new kit.

The truck is getting to a point where it is "finished". I've been sinking too much time and money in it instead of using it. I'll get the front wheel bearings done, maybe do the tundra brake upgrade. There's a few small jobs I have parts for (brake lines, body mounts, u-joints) that I'll do as time permits but I'm ready to let it be unless it needs fixing and then I'll probably find a shop to do it.

 

I wonder if you have a different fuel pump. I still need to get the scanguage so I can check what code it is actually throwing. And maybe it does need a little time to relearn. I did feel a difference in how it accelerated, was smoother but didn't seem to have the same oomph as the stock pulley. That leads me to believe it is a bit lean but need to verify.

Sounds like a plan on getting together and going over everything. Let me know when you'll have time so I can plan accordingly.

 

Ah, dang. Hopefully I'll be copying you on that purchase some day...

Doesn't everybody say that though?

The Tundra brakes would be nice. If I ever decide I have extra money, I'd like to get some SCS 16's or 17's and go that route....

I've decided I need to force myself to get maintenance accomplished before buying any "big" items. Really the only two things that I'm going to have a shop do now are the LBJ's and wheel bearings. I've decided against the Tom Wood's drive shaft option, as I can get a full replacement front half and rear drive shaft for not much more. Getting that means no carrier bearing to have to swap out and it'll be any easy bolt-on maintenance item instead of installing a new carrier bearing and u-joints on a chewed up drive shaft with zerk fitting sheared off haha

 

So, yah. Amazon is running a 25% off on performance parts special.

$736 MagnaFlow 2000-2004 Toyota Tacoma Street Series Cat-Back Performance Exhaust System, 2.7L, 3.4L

http://www.amazon.com/Magnaflow-158...id=1417559231&sr=8-1&keywords=magnaflow+15811

Select the one that Amazon is selling directly (with the "prime" checkmark) and grand total was around $420.

Also, the muffler body has been spoken for but the piping may be available. I'll probably get the stud fixed and will be as good as new except needing a 14" body to throw in between...

 

If you find yourself in the Santa Fe area, shout at me, you can borrow my Scan Guage II. Not sure when I am tooling down to Abq next, and it is a bit of a hike from my office in Los Alamos to Abq to drop it off

 

Will do!

Shoot. The muffler was the part I was after, although I could use the tubing for project as well. Also, the tip would be nice to finish off my short pipe on the '01. Let me know what you're looking for on that stuff.

 

Possibly the most good looking girls at the gym I've ever seen, and it's on a fucking air force base. Wtf Kirtland, why are you hiding all the hotties?
