LatentWagen Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 But I rike elefantz! The PW TMIC (thanks BMB!) that is currently making it's way to me via FedEx is the other reason I haven't fixed it. LW's spec. B / YT / IG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDTurbo Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 elephant talk?! PW is an acceptable reason. Who'll re-tune it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatentWagen Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm running Cobb OTS Stage II. Just swapping the intarcoolar won't put me in dire need of a tune... it runs rich enough as is, plenty of room for a little more airflow When we're off the winter gas, it's turbo/injectors/tune time!

HDTurbo Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Not a dire need, but a different IC will change the airflow dynamics... just banter, not bicker...sorry for obscure reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwag74 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 185k, not sure how I'd categorize the holding up as it has a lot of problems.......but the mileage is high. Passenger's side valve cover leaking. Passenger's side inner CV Boot torn. Blower motor whine. Bad struts. 4th gear Synchro going south. Power loss issue over 1/2 throttle (suspect plugged cat). Still driving with the windshield that cracked when I turned on the wiper defroster last winter on a -20 something degree morning. On a positive note the replacement turbo hasn't failed yet. Well.......I guess I bow out at 185K. Throw out bearing pretty much disintegrated last Friday. Motor's coming out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBwrench Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 194K, Midwestern OBXT. Marginal chassis rust, no body rust. Developing a rather large oil leak at the moment. But, otherwise just regular maintenance.

battelready Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Brake Boosting? I can't wait to go stage 2. I usually dont cuase i dont want to break the car. I just mash the throttle down and honestly going stage 2 makes your car shift better and faster.

c-lo Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 well....the day has come. I've decided to let my car go. already have a potential buyer for it. finally got a 2nd opinion from a local mechanic on the oil leaks coming from my car. the diagnosis: left HG leak valve cover leaking badly unidentified (too much oil on it) leak coming from back by the turbo. that paired with coming up on TB replacement/water pump. I don't have the time, resources, patience, finances to make this a project car. Time to let someone else give it some love and make her a beast. 270k. good run. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboboost Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Yeah, I really should pick up a 2nd/commuter car. Is that a Chevy Sonic? My buddy in CA just picked up the Spark to help with his 335's mileage - surprisingly, he loves it. When's the wagon getting picked up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-lo Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 it's a sonic ltz. fully loaded. wanna buy it? it's over in the classifieds. still working that out. coming up with a fair price. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboboost Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hahaha, sorry - if I'm picking up a 2nd car, it's either going to much more practical for lugging things (wagon/hatch or pick-up) or highly impractical (2dr, rwd). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Replaced the rear sway bar ends links on Saturday on the wagon, for the first time, 211,000 miles. It's going in the shop tomorrow to have the chassis nut replaced for the rear mount bolt for the front left LCA, then align the car. I replaced the left ball joint again the other weekend. That last ball joint didn't hold up well over the past winter, damn pot holes. Had to have one rim repaired too, it got bent. It was also the left front. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.
