of course, of course! it is nice here. unless you're into turbo'ing cars, that is.

haha nice! i didnt exactly get to experience jax so much because i was getting the ____ beat out of me everyday!

jaxtcracer

what was it? military or something?

java09

yeah i was on base mostly because i was there for search and rescue school. you ever seen those clowns jumping out of helicopters in the river in winter??? i was that clown! hahaha i love my job though!

jaxtcracer

haha navy, right? so where were you stationed? mayport or jax NAS?

java09

i was at jax nas.. and yes navy..

jaxtcracer

sweet man. i was actually seriously considering going into navy aviation as a fighter pilot after getting my degree... it's so competitive though. who knows. anyway, that's off-topic. 11 hours until the service guys claim to have my tC MAF thing switched and spark plugs clean

one of my best friends just left for an army base in missouri to train for army reserve MP.

unrelated, but how would you guys feel about getting tubular steel motor mounts to reduce wheel hop instead of torque dampeners?

davedavetC

i would get the torque dampener, the ride will be extremely uncomfortable with the steel motor mounts, plus it will put extra stress on the engine. just get ingalls

jaxtcracer

really? hm... i wonder if there would be a way to add some shock absorption to those mounts to reduce it

jsut get the ingals

java09

yeah i have the ingalls. just havent installed it!! haha but ive heard it helps! haha but yeah the navy always has room for pilots! haha

ok, so you were one of the guys that I used to talk to on my parents' dock out back. they live on the river off heckshire drive and i would sit on the end of their dock fishing at night and see you guys getting dumped by the choppers and then bobble in the water a few minutes til the guys in the all black boats would haul ___ to ****** you out of the river. i used to laugh each time one of you missed and they would just keep going to the next guy and let you swim for about 45min to an hour, at least til i learned myself how hard it really is.

jaxtcracer

the reason i ask is b/c i can get a great deal on the motor mounts... much better than the ingalls deal. and i heard they actually control the torque better, even if it ends up being a little rougher ride

TurboToyotas

Good news......does this mean I don't get to come visit?

Regardless look forward to hearing some good news.


I think you guys need billet mounts with a nice urethane insert......hmm

maybe like this...







Sorry you guys brought it up, though this would be a perfect place to share!!

Enjoy

hey guys... another possibility i just read about if my MAF rotation and plugs dont fix the problem:

is it true that if you damage one of the 02 sensors (is it primary or secondary?), the car goes into safe mode and runs super rich? i saw that on a recent thread in "drivetrain and power" in which the guy was putting black smoke out of his exhaust and someone talked about possible sensor damage causing the car to be in safe mode and run rich.. is this true or false?
