Tdurr's round two!

[Rendon LX-i]

Haven't not been on the forum for awhile . I want a vid of u smashing patna. Lol btw that 2 step sounds nasty

[Tdurr]

lol i gotta fix my window or figure out a new mounting spot for my camera so i can get some gear banging videos man. Its still kinda slow, but thats why i have the turbo waiting. and its looking pretty good that the end of next month it might be going down!

[Dr_Snooz]

Ouch!

[Tdurr]

Yeaa. Thankfully it was just the headers so its no biggie. Those will be coming off soon enough.

[bullard123]

found this in my door panel.


kept hearing a clicking and my batt kept dying randomly. so i did this after super gluing the cap back on.

I have had the parasitic draw in my hatch for a while now too. I was thinking that it was the alarm I had put in

That is the fix for the parasitic battery drain in coupes. It's about the most elegant solution I've found.

I have to give this a shot myself. What does the plug go to?

They keep the belts from locking when you have the door open.

Ha ha...... Thanks Snooz. I disconnected both plugs today and now I get the flashing seatbelt symbol on the dash with the chiming noise. I even pulled the fuse from under the hood and I still get the chiming noise when I start the car up

[Tdurr]

Ive never got tge the chime. Do these cars have a headlight buzzer?

[JohnBoy]

it like the headlight buzzer or the door buzzers its under the dash.

[Tdurr]

That is a pretty cool toy to have!

[Tdurr]

yuppp. im so excited man. i hope to try and get a side business going in the long run if i can get a good set up.

[Dr_Snooz]

Beautiful results with the hood pins. How do you expect the finish to hold up?

[Tdurr]

I see them holding up pretty well. I smacked them around against each other for a bit and no scratches so I figured it would do fine since it is going to not hit anything metal.

[JohnBoy]

powder coating is great the only better thing is cerakota but its twice as much.

[Tdurr]

Yea, im thinking of cerakotaing the turbo manifold. But idk if it will happen right away

[JohnBoy]

I do it for guns and was thinking of doing the cerakote slip on the pistons for my engines.

[Tdurr]

legit. me and my roomate have been talking about getting our guns done.


also, status update.
was heading home from picking up dinner and went to pull off from a stoplight, and just heard some banging. Then found this.



so had to get it towed home. Then i got it pulled out and found this.



went to napa to get a warranty exchange, and the fuckers closed a hour early today. why? nobody fucking knows, but now i have to get a ride in the am hopefully before work so i can get a non crappy paycheck -_-

[Tdurr]

Well, today I went to honda abd got this:



& was able to do this




Went to go for a test drive then it almost happened again. My motor was sagging hard, did some searching and found this:




Put the rear tq mount back on, and its driveable again. I think I might have to fab up a solid rear mount to fix this.

[cygnus x-1]

Yeah, something is way wrong here. Did the rear engine/trans bracket lose a bolt and slip or something? Or is it bent? Because that bracket should be parallel with the top of the rear cross member.

[Tdurr]

the bracket is parallel with the rear crossmemeber. I was lacking the tq mount, and the lower trans brace mount, I really thing my front mount is just off by a hare so its throwing everything else off. Idk. we shall see.

When you put the upper torque mount back on, does the rear mount go back to looking like the first picture? Comparing the the two pictures, the position of the engine/trans bracket is very different in the second one. Either that bracket is bent (or missing a bolt) or the engine is sagging towards the front a LOT.

[Tdurr]

the engine was(is now) sagging towards the pass side. i have no idea what exactly has changed, but i might need to get my front engine mount remade and my rear one made into a solid piece. Just broke a 2nd axle pulling out of the driveway....

I'm 90% certain you don't need a solid rear mount. However, if you decide you want one anyway I could make you an aluminum block to fit in place of the poly mount for pretty cheap. Say $40 shipped.
