Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Jb weld it.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Unfortanatly I had too temporarily.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

JB Weld the night before a cruise? This should be interesting...

Left work at 9:20, filled up, filled up fuel cans so I'm ready, automatic car wash, home at 9:50, dried car, changed plugs, did my best to get sprinkler water spots and two weeks of embedded dust and dirt off, inside finally now... Still need to pack and figure out my schedule for tomorrow morning. Normally I'd be in bed by now before one of these.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

311evo, girls, and I are at the hotel ready to go in the morning. See everyone there!

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Boost was down from 35 psi down to 30. If it works for a while, fine, if not, whatever.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Aaaaaaaaaand clutch job complete.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Thanks Mark! Hopefully it has a mono jack. If it doesn't, Bman, could you bring your cassette adapter?

Also, it would be greatly appreciated..spaz maybe? scheides? If you could look at my logs and tell me what the hell is going on? My car might not like the cold. :shrugs:

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Lol I was gonna say the same thing!

Fantastic! Worked for spaz a few years back, but we did it on the side of the road....

LMFAO epic!

I'll try but I don't know shit about tuning dsms, only a little about evos :)

Prolly just needs MOAR BOOST!

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Good thing it runs ecu flash/evoscan then!

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Have fun gents!

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Viva Superior!!

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

What happened

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

I'm still trying to figure that out! Stuff happened, fun was had, I passed out!

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Had a caliper bolt back out on the bumpy roads about 30 min outside of superior. I must not have torqued it down hard enough or something. New bolt from oreillys in superior, all is good.

I do owe a huge thank you to those who stopped to help me. Jake, mike, goodhart, guy in red 1g (sorry forgot ur name), and peter for taking me to oreillys, mark for letting me use your wrenches, and anyone else I forgot. It was very much appreciated, I owe you all next time!

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

I lost reverse gear, yeah I'm still trying to figure that one out.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

I'm in a tow back to the cities. No idea what happens, but I'm leaking oil now.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Good times

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

WTF? Why so Many breakdowns? Sad I missed it. I'm taking the next weekend off as soon as it's released.
How did the frum rolls go?

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

I was quicker than EVOJ and spoolinturbo, didn't get a chance to run anyone else. Tachyon got scared and waved me off. :D

The roads were awesome, as were the shenans. I got lost for a bit with Leasure and we hit some roads pretty hard, that was boss. My car made it despite my constant groundless worrying these days.

Bobby sent me a pic, he's got a picturesque bay window in his block. The view is to cry for. :(

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Anything to with those top-speed runs you kept doing?

:( Did you find a hole anywhere?

Awesome pics!

Lots of pretty even runs I'd say. I didn't see them all though.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Sounds like he found one in the block. I hope it's covered under the lease terms

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Oh man, what happened?

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

I got it back to the dealer and started digging around, pulled off the plastic panels - they were filled with oil. These are just a few of the chunks I found.

Did some more looking around and I could see an oil line disconnected. Then, I could see this though the manifold.

A buddy of mine got under it and took this picture.

90% sure I threw a rod, 100% sure I'm going to need a new bottom end. 50/50 whether they warranty it, and 50/50 whether I just take to DB and have one built! Either way, I'm sure I'll the Taurus will be out and about sooner than I had planned. RIP Engine #1 - 10,102 miles.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

What's the angle on that picture? Trying to figure out where on the block that is...you said you had gotten a cyl 2 misfire code right? Is that in front of cyl2?

Wonder if a bad spark plug got you....

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Wow that sucks. Your dealership knows you modded the car. I cant see them replacing anything.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Yeah that really blows. Hope you are able to figure out a plan to move forward.

On a side note, it was too bad my caliper bolt backed out. Because other than that (self induced issue), my wife and I were actually talking about how nice the SC is to cruise in. It's comfortable, new suspension drives really smooth, it's extremely quiet inside (nearly stock quiet), and really feels like we can pound on it and it just takes it. We're not constantly worried it going to break, listening and smelling something strange all the time worrying you are going to break down (which is how I almost always felt in the Talon). The car is parked, and I think it will remain parked while it undergoes some large changes over the winter.

Had a good time. Canal park was really cool to see, saw some huge barges!

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

It was taken laying on the ground.
Yes, it's right in front of the #2 cylinder, just under the manifold.

Yeah, P0302 Cylinder #2 misfire.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Once again Tina and I had a great time hanging out with everyone, I old man'd it and was asleep by 11pm. The lost driving that Spaz and I went on was a good adventure.

Trogdor sorry to hear about the motor failure. All of us with modified stock block cars are always one roll of the dice away from windowing a block. Good luck on the future build.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Did you show her your barge while you were in the park? :romp_69l:

Sounds like you are totally in love with the SC, double check your work or just leave it alone!
Who are we kidding that things needs more boost before you are done. :waterski:


Sorry for your loss, were you beating the shit out of it with that code?
Well good luck from here, throw a stock motor in and drive it or sell it and recoup your finances a bit.

Did asshanson get a new ride? How did pat/tehehodi's car do? I know he was mega excite! :Banane56:

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

He was ermergerd excited, I didn't get a chance to look over the tune but I didn't hear peep out of him...no issues afaik.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

^lmao.

I had to read that twice to understand what it said. :lol:

Sounds like a classic good time guaranteed cruise, sorry I missed it.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Nah, I was planning to drive it home granny shifting and going the speed limit the whole way. When it blew up I was only doing about 65 MPH@3100 RPMs

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Pretty sure it would have been closer if we had both left on the third honk too :)

We should have tried about 10 minutes after that since we were tuning at that time and were not making nearly the power as later in the day

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

My car would randomly stumble on it's face, then recover after awhile. Have no clue why. But, on the way home, at the e85 station in duluth, just unplugged the battery for a bit and and no issues since.

It was definitely a fun time but I wish I could have T&C'd before this issue happend. Next time I guess!

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

someday i will find time for one of these cruises...sorry to hear the motor probs bobby

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Crazy.

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Its possible, but you got to feed a little speed to your whip now and then. Well at least I know the limits of the Evil Evo.
Glad you like the pics, MONEY SHOT FTW. I really want to see other pics or maybe video. I'll so be ready for the next cruise a GO-Pro camera and god damnit hotel reservations, lol

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI
 

Beer... so much beer...
