1. Pass the Emission Test
2. After passing the Emission test, get y-pipe 3. Tranny Cooler 4. Sell current subs for one 12in. |
As much as is in my sig as possible....could be complicated by n.c.s. no cash syndrome

Well it is suppose to hail tonight so maybe a new paint job and some door dings (I mean hail that hit the door) taken out :wall:
Tranny Cooler to keep sweetness cool in the hot summer days PCV valve Tires and thinking of going to a place racing style intake rather than the popcharger that I have now to keep her breathing fresh air. |
to frilling much !
1.shocks & struts
2.sarona front lip and then to paint the whole kit after installation i only have the sarona front left to buy !! 3. tune up ** I can live with these mods for summer but i hope to get tires and rims in b4 summer gets here ... minor: short throw shifter underdrive pulley act clutch |

This is what I did yesterday.
1. Flush coolant and install modified thermostat, refill with distilled water, water wetter and 1 litre of Toyota Red for summer racing. 2. Change oil and filter. 3. Flush auto trans, fill with Mobil 1 synthetic and install tranny cooler, B&M 2400 GVW. 4. Install intake. It was a full day. Yet to do? Tons |
take garbage off my back bumper
full wax and polish find harness for sidemarker so i can finally install my dam DC clear sidemarker DVD/tv |

Originally posted by UNCDooD modified thermostat?? My OBD II gizmo measures accurate coolant temp so its easy to monitor. |
Originally posted by Jime I reduced the temp by 10 deg. Put a small metal pill under the shaft, it lengthens it and causes it to open sooner. My OBD II gizmo measures accurate coolant temp so its easy to monitor. |

Originally posted by ejj You have that much faith that we won't see freezing temps again this spring? :wall: Street Reeper I will do a write up here once I confirm it does what I want. I call it a pill. Initially I cut off the end of a 10-32 screw, but then our locksmith came in last week and had a whole toolkit full of these pins for door locks so when I told him what I was doing he gave me a bunch of different lengths so now I can experiment a little more if I don't get the temp I want. I say pill but its just a small round piece of metal that will sit in the hole the shaft of the thermostat sits in and makes it sit a little higher. The inside of the thermost is basically a wax substance that pushes down on the shaft and opens the thermostat when a set temp is reached, this little piece of metal just makes it open sooner. It could be made of any type of material as long as it will take the temp and its the right size to fit in the shaft hole. |
Originally posted by Jime I hope not Eric but never can tell. It will just stay underground if it does freeze. Sounds like a good idea to do a 80/20 water/antifreeze mix for the warmer/racing months. |
Originally posted by ejj Do you do this every year? Do you notice a significant increase in the cooling capability of the system? Sounds like a good idea to do a 80/20 water/antifreeze mix for the warmer/racing months. Water Wetter does not recommend just pure water because it could freeze with the A/C on even in the summer. They also state that the more coolant you use the less effective the Water Wetter is so I just put in the minumum. |
Originally posted by Jime Yes, I did it last year, did not notice any difference because I had no way of monitoring. but it does give a little piece of mind Water Wetter does not recommend just pure water because it could freeze with the A/C on even in the summer.

Originally posted by ejj Do you think it could cause problems with the water pump? Doesn't the pump rely on the antifreeze for lubrication as well? At least thats what they advertise. Most racers I know don't use any antifreeze at all just water wetter. |
Originally posted by Jime Water Wetter is supposed to improve heat transfer, reduce cyl head temp, reduce rust, corrosion and electrolysis, clean and lubricate pump seals etc etc At least thats what they advertise. Most racers I know don't use any antifreeze at all just water wetter. By most racers, do you mean guys like us, or guys with "race cars". I can't imagine going from no antifreeze to half antifreeze every year is a good thing for a daily driver. |
Originally posted by ejj I've used water wetter before. I guess I just don't know how well it would provide to functions that antifreeze is supposed to. Guess time will tell. By most racers, do you mean guys like us, or guys with "race cars". I can't imagine going from no antifreeze to half antifreeze every year is a good thing for a daily driver. One thing I do though is take off the underpanels when I do it to minimize all the stuff that they catch. I took them both off yesterday because I flushed the transmission and installed a cooler as well and it sure makes working in there a lot easier. |
Originally posted by Jime Eric most racers I know are guys like us, I don't know too many guys that trailer. What I try and do is put in 1 litre of antifreeze in the spring and keep the other 3 litres from the jug until fall, then drain out 3 litres and put it in and its sufficiently strong enough for the winter. I try to minimize the work as much as possible. One thing I do though is take off the underpanels when I do it to minimize all the stuff that they catch.

Originally posted by ejj Thanks for all the info. I'm due to change the coolant, so I think I'll give this a shot. |
Originally posted by Jime I use the Toyota Red also, not only is it red like water wetter but I think it has better protection for aluminum etc by the absence of borates and nitrates, I think thats what they are called. It also looks prettier. Although...If I could have prettier coolant... ;) |
