Mines down for winter but still runs awesome

TheCamel 02-23-2004 06:57 AM

Mine will be back on the road by April 1st, that is the deadline right now. seeing as I have 98% of the parts needed, I am pretty sure it will make it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Dysfnctnl85 02-23-2004 08:26 AM

Mine runs! It has some hesitation at 1500rpm...I think the carb needs some tuning.

sunshine 02-23-2004 08:30 AM

Hust lost the tranny a month ago, was running strong till then. Will be up again in a month - when I can do the work.



in the meantime...I cruzin in the minivan.

1988RedT2 02-23-2004 08:37 AM

Mine's been running since I bought it. I'm picking up another T2 tonight, and it doesn't run, so after tonight I'll be one up, one down. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Baldy 02-23-2004 08:46 AM

uh, I'm kinda halfway. I leak brake fluid and coolant, due to my changing of the MC, and my crappy coolant blockoff job. I think my battery died too, probably somehow due to my changing of the battery cables. I guess I'm kinda mean to my car.

FrestyleFC3S 02-23-2004 10:28 AM

I'm in da same boat. Only mine was puffing white smoke on startup so she's gettin' a rebuild/port before shes on the road again.

You never told me that



I thought you were getting a rebuild just because you wanted it ported!

I havent had a problem with my engine yet. As for the rest of the car, its a totally different story. Just in the past month I put in a TII driveline so Id stop breakign n/a trannies, and then 2 days after i finished, my heater core busted, dumping the entire contents of my cooling system onto the drivers floorboard. So the whole interior had to come out, so I could wash the carpet, and while I was at it, I put a better dash in, and rewired my speakers. Then about 2 weeks later, my battery gave out on me. Last night, my exhaust got hit hard, and I think I cracked a weld somewhere, but I couldnt find it today. We should start a pool for what Ill break next. It shouldnt be long...

It's like those race ports of yours are too much for the car to handle!

I guess, but its not like im making too much power. The stock ecu and intake manifold are making sure of that. But soon, the beast will breathe as it should.
