adding a little more info. there will be a dyno there for people to use. also, scion corporate will be there with some special FRSs and TCs.

also, if anyone is wanting to install parts and need a lift. there will be lifts available for you to use to install your own parts

Bikini car wash in late October? :clap::needpics:

sadly, i wont be able to make it. I am TDY in colorado until november. just posting up for a friend

i'll be there and entering my frs for "biggest lift" :lol:

..i kid..but i will be going if anyone wants to cruise

There are going to be alot of tacomas and fj cruisers there. They are trying to get more scions there also. Only reason I posted up more lately is cuz of they are making more of a push to get non offroad vehicles there.

More update

pre register for t shirts

the first 50 that pre register will get a goody bag. It's close to 50 now btw.

Also, they are raffling off dyno runs and 8 titled kilt girls are locked in for the event.

Say what? My imagination is getting the better of me.

:D Whats up man

Nothin much. It's like we have talked before somewhere ;)

Haha, yeah. Sucks you cant make this meet, ill have both vehicles there

Yeah, if I could is bring both of mine too

Seems to be a huge meet, was just bringing the truck but ill try and sneak my subaru in there too..

Right now I don't think my truck would make it to the meet

That aint good, I got a bad sound from the front of mine, its driveable as far as I know so my plan is to take it to the meet and see if anyone can tell me wtf is wrong with it, haha

I think I got a busted ring landing on one of the drivers side pistons :/. Found a engine/transmission/transfer case/drive shaft/ecu/harness out of an 08 with 33k miles on it. Which is newer and less miles than my truck. $2250 shipped.

Eek, that price aint too bad considering, still not a cheap fix.

No it's not. I'm throwing a p0022 code and my oil is getting contaminated with black shit. I think I have a huge carbon build up or it's dumping fuel past the rings into the crankcase. Also drives like shit until it gets up to operating temp. Dropped oil pan and thought we found chunks of metal but ended up being chunks of carbon

Either way needs to be torn down and gone through, that sucks dude. Im throwing a p0051 code, have had a new upstream o2 sensor on my desk for the past 2 months, just havnt replaced it to confirm that's the issue.

yeah, im doing alot of other stuff at the same time when i pull the engine. gusset the coil buckets, cam tabs for LCA, new steering rack bushigns, new clutch, throw out bearing upgrade, spindle gussets. going to do all of that while engine is out so we have enough room to get to everything easily. also redo most teh wiring coming from the fuse box.

on teh engine, i puttin new pulleys, drive belt, tensioner, water pump, header gaskets.

figure get everything new put on to start from base.

I plan on selling the transmission and tcase i got with the engine since its an auto and i already have a fj tcase and still have my stock tcase.

the old engine im gonna tear down and see whats actually wrong with it. after that gonna put darton sleeves in and do a forged build but im not going to be in a rush to do that

Yeah I guess if you are gonna do it, might as well do it right and be done with it, definitely sounds like a costly project. Overall are you happy eith your trd SC?


The brz is my first 2nd vehicle so I am willing to tear the front apart and see whats gone bad, just incase its something I cant afford to fix im not in a rush to get it back on the road. I also need to pull my front bumper and toss in my winch iv had for months and gusset the mounting bolts while the bumper is off.

ive been more than happy with the S/C altho i have thought about going back to stock on the new engine but cant justify spending 4k and then not using it anymore so im going to put it on. plus swapping everything over which both engines out should be pretty easy.

my FRS is the second 2nd care ive had. i had a 94 trans am 25th anniversary but while i was out of town it got flooded. i got everything cleaned up and it ran fine but i sold it to my dad(he knew what he was getting) and bought the FR-S for better gas mileage

Ill be tossing a s/c on my brz in the future for sure, iv wanted to do the tacoma also but havnt been able to justify spending that kinda $$, but I figured if I do the brz I may do the truck around the same time.
