adjust idle after timing.

timing will adjust your idle on its own. and by adjusting the idle it should not affect where your timing is.

Dropped my upright off at the machine shop to have the hub pressed out...that bish wasn't going anywhere!

Moto - Didn't know that about the ebay HID's, I thought they were all projectors labeled as HID's haha. I didn't want to clutter up Razi's thread any more, that's the reason I'm responding to you in here haha.

Yeah haha. It was really dumb, I had to destroy my ball joint to get the upright off too. I guess I'll replace them now while they are easily accessible.

Are you gonna make a tube frame front still?

Btw, my timing stays at 20 most of the time, but sometimes drops to 18/19 randomly, is this normal?

thank you man. the family is doing much better. my mom and uncles are doing pretty good, because we had a party for remembering him, and a lot of their child hood friends came and shared memories with all of us. it was nice. going to miss him. he was real similar to me. he was an inventor, an aeronautical engineer, and had a huge warm heart...

Sweet, tubs are awesome.
Yeah it stumbles a tiny bit on idle, gets better when it's warmed up.
The engine jerks a bit when it's cold though.

I don't know how I'd deal with that. :(
I haven't had any relatives I know in the US to pass away, only distant relatives in Korea.

When I go, I have a pretty big chunk of life insurance set aside for a huge party. My will has gag gifts included etc...gotta go out with a bang imho. Remember the good times and flush everything else. Life is to short for regrets. I think I'm going to have a buddy of mine lace all of the food with weed :dblthumb:

Here is what one of your great-grandchildren will say, "Mommy, why do the brownies taste funny" lol.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your grandpa Moto. I lost my only grandmother this time last year. It sucks.

That would be about par for the Falla Family course of life. When we're all around a big table I'm only out shown by my alcoholic uncle. He'll be dead from something awful soon enough though and I'll be there to carry the torch of craziness.

Sorry to hear about the grandfather. It does suck, I've got one grandmother left and she's 94 and been struggling a few years now.

Haha Brian, you're crazy. My condolences as well Moto, good to hear your family is doing ok though.

5 lug in the rear is done, the machine shop had to use their big press and make a rig for the knuckle in order to press the hub out haha. The guy was certain it was one piece, the hub itself came apart before it came out of the knuckle.

The x8 -10 Starion wheels don't fit, the x9 0 wheels are closer but still don't fit, so I'm stuck with s14 se wheels haha. I might adjust the rucas for another degree or so of camber, but I'll probably just wait for some x8 0 offset wheels that are coming off a friend's Supra. Either way, I'm glad that swap is over with!

Counting down to GT5 and 4 days off of work.
