Are you still using your charcoal canister?

Thanks man. That is what I thought and after a little more FSM searching I knew what it was and where it routed.

SUPER GLUE TIME!

BTW FUCK torquing the rear SB endlink bushings....That blew. WISH i had a alignment rack just laying around lol.

Whizbang · 11-29-2009, 02:43 PM

as long as the tip valve thing can function (ie if you roll fuel doesnt come out of it) then i wouldnt be all too worried unless the smell of fuel bothers you.

***TitaniumTT*** · 11-29-2009, 03:04 PM

The tip that broke doesn't have the valve IIRC.... the check ball vavle do hickey is located in top of the tank and the 3 way connector is activated by engine vac.... IIRC... been a LONG time since I had to figure all that out.

I know what I did though, I took that valve in top of the tank and vented it to atmosphere through a sintered filter that I located on top over the fuel fill. I smell ZERO gas.

***TitaniumTT*** · 11-29-2009, 03:12 PM

I'm a smoker, it worries me

I was trying to convince my partner to do the same thing with his tank, then I realized I HAVE his tank so whether he wants to or not, it's gonna happen

actually, it already happened

***TitaniumTT*** · 11-29-2009, 05:23 PM

I'm tellin' ya man, ditch the rear bar alltogether

FC3S Murray · 11-29-2009, 10:11 PM

I know I know but I am only running Tanabe springs and Tokico Blues. I heard you only want to run no bar IF you have coilovers with a moderatly high spring rate??? Just a rumor....?

***TitaniumTT*** · 11-30-2009, 12:18 AM

The benefit will be there regardless of the spring rates being used.... I would think less spring rate would result in a higher benefit from no bar, allows the suspension to flex. If there were no springs, only shocks and you went hard into a turn the inside wheel would lift from the outside wheels compression and the swaybar picking the inner up. So I dunno how much truth there is to what you heard.

FWIW I'm running a 7/5 setup, RB front and no rear and I love it. VERY neutral, slight understeer when I head into a turn too hot or too hard on the brakes.

FC3S Murray · 12-02-2009, 12:03 PM

So I have everything finished with my damn bushings. I have to say that if anyone planned on doing that in one night IT IS possible but a pain in the ass if your suspension has not been tampered with since it left the showroom floor back in the 80's lol.

I am thinking what I want to do next for this winter?? I would like to wire my Fuel pump to a relay but an unsure how I can have it cycle off if the engine stops running while the ignition is on. VERY tired today and will figure it out when I wake up...brain not working 100% today

Other projects are gonna include some camber plates, fuel system maintenance(filter and strainer), interior work on door panel carpet and maybe some more engine bay wire tucking.

Got some AWESOME news on Sat night; My wife and I have been trying for another little monster and my superior genetic seed pulled through and we are expecting in August

I am very stoked

SO...Looks as if the wheels are gonna have to wait til tax time

.......if other expenses do not take priority for the sake of our second child. Actually the FC will definately be on the back burner for a while now BUT it is basically where I want it besides wanting some new wheels/rubber and small exterior tweaks.

Those good old Guard Drill paychecks will have to be "car paychecks" since that money is kind of a bonus and usually never budgeted

FC3S Murray · 12-02-2009, 10:51 PM

So I REALLY like the Work Equips that rotarybeat purchased on the other forum. A couple options:

Silver

Black

Graphite (MY FAVORITE)

What you all think?? Blitz 01's or Work's..

FC3S Murray · 12-16-2009, 09:18 PM

I think I am going Work VS-XX Now Silver, Gold or Gunmetal. I really like gold lol....seriously though.

You'll hate my FC then

Get some pics up of the wheels when you get them. What color did you end up going with on the wheels you got the deal on?

17x8 +28 huh.... you shouldnt have too much rubbing issues up front... but rolling the fenders is definitely a safe bet. Looks good man!

They are silver. I will decide if I want to make them a gloss graphrite once I see how silver looks on my Blue.

Yeah I figured rubbing wouldn't be an issue with that offset BUT I have a 5mm spacer just in case

I am hoping I rolled my fenders enough, i didn't fold the fender lip completely against the inner fender due to really cracking the paint BUT trust me it is folded damn good. Plus I only did a "very tight fold" from one red point to the other on the picture.

Is that enough?? ...we will have to wait and see.
