I don't recall the car running strangely at all, or even during the drive to get gas/lunch just prior. My fear is that I have a failed coolant o-ring (these line the rotor housings to keep the coolant in the passages and out of the combustion chamber) or even worse, a cracked rotor housing. However, if that was the case and I'm dumping coolant into the combustion chamber, possibly being the source of the hard start, then wouldn't there be white smoke everywhere and a "sweet" smelling exhaust?! I expected a huge cloud of white smoke this morning (after sitting for nearly 12 hours) but fortunately there was nothing - it even started better than it did yesterday without all the popping.

I'm naturally drunk.
I'll look at Bill's site, I have Steve's old adp from when he did his part out earlier this year. Is marlon still running the stock radiator? I have a full length mishimoto the Doc B uses on his mp3 race car so I hope I'm fine
and orderd the bolts, $3.37 a peice

Morning all! Another wet/soggy day here. Painted Kaila's room Sunday...blue ceiling is now white, beach mural is now pink along with the purple walls. Left a four foot wide section of one wall purple and going to paint it with the dry erase paint this upcoming weekend as well as put up her new fan.
Good luck Nate!

It's so depressing looking at too many 2jz and rb26 dyno graphs... 600+whp on totally stock motors, just bolt on a bigger intake mani, turbo, exhaust, and some big fuel supply and tune it. Oh, and before I hear the "it's more fun to go around a track than in a straight line" argument, one was an "R14" awd 240sx with an rb26 under the hood, 750awhp built by Full Race for time attack. That one wasn't a stock engine internally, but it does tear up the track.
Not all motors were created equal, eh? lol

Where are you interviewing?
I have a job
It was called Vector Marketing. Seemed kinda sketchy and after the interveiw I googled them and a bunch of things about scams and pyramid so I don't think I'm gonna do it.

Yeah, I got mail from them several times while I was in HS and figured it was a scam-type deal, so I called them with my number blocked and after waiting on hold for 5-10 minutes listening to ads the whole time, I got a recording saying that they don't accept calls from blocked numbers and it automatically hung up. Later on campus, I saw guys passing out info pamphlets about the company, and I think they were selling knives. The whole thing definitely seems shrouded in sketchyness.

Yeah. You'll be selling Cutco knifes. It's a good product but you got to bust your ass to make money.
well that's not my style at all

The advan sa3r that they replicate come in all sorts of sizes that could work, but also cost close to 4x that.
Mazda called, the bolts are in already so I'm picking those up after class. Hopefully I'll get the cams and timing belt done tomorrow night then.
I know they would look like s*** on my MSP, but they would look killer on a Z.
If you have a full length radiator then you are fine. The problem is if you keep the shorter radiator from the MSP then the air can flow right around it at the location where the side mount intercooler used to be. I decided to keep the stock radiator and just put in an air deflector because I'm cheap. Here's what that looks like:
