Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Wow sore morning. Whiplash sucks. Pain woke me. Stayed at friends and fell asleep with tacoma running outside to charge phone. Only used 1/8th- 1/5th tank gas but I'm going to move up my oil x date because 6-7 hrs idle time.

 

Lmao

 

Was helping a friend move yesterday, on one of the trips I saw this thing. Looked pretty awesome but didn’t have time for more pictures:

 

My uncle had one of those when I was little. I remember hem coming to the house for Christmas in it. Always wanted one.

 

Well Trucklos failed her annual smog test the other day.
HC's were at 80ppm. Test guy said change plugs and wires. Gonna do that, but anyone have any other tips n tricks? Stock 3.4 with deckplate mod (which i closed for the test) and stock exhaust. Ran it on the freeway 30-45 min prior to get it nice n hot.

Any other thoughts?

 

^give ‘er the full lube n tune! Clean out that maf and run some fuel injector cleaner in er before you change the plugs.

Oh, and a little Italian tune up never hurt anyone.

 

Premium fuel.

 

Possibly check or replace your pcv too. I believe that will raise hcs. Not to scare you, but she may wind up needing a cat. I hear the first gens at least are notorious for cat failures

 

Calibrated vsc. Just do it people, it took 5 mins tops.

Calibrating VSC . Using twist tie, couldn't find paper clip.... guess thing of past in this household, sign of the times I guess.

Im unfamiliar?

 

Step on it son!

 

"An Italian tuneup usually refers to a process whereby a motor vehicle engine is run at full load for extended periods in order to burn carbon buildup from the combustion chambers, spark plugs, and exhaust system." -wiki

 

LOL got it. "Clear out the Ol carbon" eh. I kinda do that anyways, but I could do a tad bit more spirited driving i guess.

 

If you're going to go this route, I'd recommend adding some techron (you can buy a bottle at chevron) or some other cleaner

 

Boooo!
On a positive, an LS swap may come sooner.

 

Don’t know if it’s true but my mechanic buddy swears fresh oil when doing a smog makes a big difference.

 

Yeah, not sure if thatd rectify my smog problem. Might be seriously considering trading for a pre-75 daily driver...

Thanks, its a fairly fresh oil change, but i guess if im going to do any of it, i might as well do all of it...

 

Damn. What's the approach angle on that?
