well....my sunroof mysteriously started leaking a little while back and I thought I had it temp fixed. Well it still dripped here and there. There has been so much rain lately that it was just annoying....then yesterday on the way home from work it was raining hard off and on and it decided that it didn't want to just drip any more. It was running streams in my face, down my back and neck, all over the passenger seat...I had enough. Stopped and picked up a roll of paper towels and a tube of silicone.....drove to a car wash and parked under cover and proceeded to take the sunroof apart. Got it all out to discover that the sealer had just decided it did not want to adhere to the sunroof anymore and the water was just running under the lip and into the car. Got it clean and dry, added new silicone put it all back together. Drove out of the bay and sat in the ran for a few, then started down the road. Nooooo leaks anymore.

Again used my new Ridgid job max tool with the impact driver head to remove all the screws and button it all back up. Man I love that tool....best money I have ever spent other then buying a Festy.

Guess ur sunroof held up good considering how you installed it originally - lol was just reading that old thread - quote
"I got mine out of a Justy and cut the hole in my roof in the middle of the night in a gas station parking lot and then drove to an all night Walmart because I forgot the sealer. Came out and installed the sun roof right there in the lot.''
I like ur style ohsnap

where did the piston go????????? that scares me! did he notice a little detonation before the motor gave out? or did he just suspect the bad gas mileage maybe a issue? (sarcasm)

The blow off valve came unhooked while racing 18+ lbs of boost. G25mr na Bp on boost.

[walth]

yikes. is it me, or do most all b-series engines only have one cylinder head locator pin? I thought they had 2...ridiculous

today I cleaned up the bottom end on my b6 build and plastigage'd the crank to main caps. everything is .002 or tighter so I'm happy. This must have been a completely rebuilt w/ all new parts engine. but some idiot put RTV all over the head gasket and made things not work well. the rings looked new, the bearings look almost new, there was cross hatching in the cylinder walls still. a bunch of gaskets are "like new" for being almost 10 years old. crazy.

lol...Actually....that sunroof you are referring to never leaked after I installed it. The one I was referring to is actually a dealer installed original sunroof (they were not installed from the factory), that was put in the car when it was new.
Seal lasted 21 years so I guess I can not complain.

[M3NTAL]

installed new boost controller, and a new innovate MTX L wideband! added a support to my hood latch!

EDIT: Mike...Gregs new toy is wicked nasty bro i want one so bad, on another note the wrist pin on Gregs motor still held up just fine! lol


2nd gear wheelies are nasssssssssssty especially when it has 4 wheels!!!

Megasquirt... Yeah mental I dono what to do. I've never seen anything like it and I have been around off roading for a min. I'm gonna grab the 250f and were gonna hit the woods to see what this thing can do!

So very very tempted...

Just pulled up the local pull-a-part car list, and yesterday they set out a 94 protege (two others as well since I was down there last), and also a 90 323 and an '89 323. Potential for a motor swap for all three of my cars! Of course Babystiva would take the early 323 (and stay carb'd), Green Car would get the '90 engine, and the Protege (hopefully B8) would go to Chuck.

In other news, put the temp sensor in last night on Chuck. On the ten mile drive to work this morning I didn't smell as much gas, but when I got out of the car, could still smell it. I think I'm gonna throw the whole fuel rail off my spare manifold on there and see if that cures it.
