a few weeks ago with my sas 87...

 

no problem to be honest tho, and I'm not sponsored or obligated to RC at all, its a really good kit, i max flexed a few times, super stuffed my tires, and didn't break anything. and i made it through all but one of those obstacles when I was doing so

 

I think my brother in law has a friend who works for Rough Country and can get me a discount, so it looks like it's a strong candidate. Thanks again for the info!

More pics for the thread. (may have posted before, not sure)








Always makes me chuckle.....

 

you gotta a pretty "clean" rig there. it'll look good with a RC under it haha.

 

Hope so!

If you need any help with YotaTech, feel free to ask.

 

Thanks for the compliments guys, and for who asked for the round headlights, i have a thread all about it.

 

I miss wheelin in the snow..

Sweet rig man!

 

Hell if I saw that thing comin I'd go the OTHER direction.

 

How far back did you go to quote that guy

 

 

 

Hey everyone! It's been awhile since i've posted on here. Been pretty busy getting the s2000 ready for the upcoming track season, but I posted my non-running truck up about 30 pages back... This is it..



I've finally had a bit of time to source out some problems to get it running. It ended up being corroded wires in a connection under the passenger seat that goes to the fuel pump. fixed that, replaced the pump and filter... and now it runs!!

Just had a few questions/concerns:

- The engine sounds pretty loud (whether it's piston slap or valve train, or even the exhaust/header set up on it). I've read places it's somewhat normal... yeah?

Also... Cold start it smokes quite a bit... temperature outside was about high 30's... once i let it run for about 20-30 minutes it seems to calm down a bit...Sinus' are bad at the moment so I can't really smell what it smells like.

Car has about 1/4 tank of old (at least 1 year old fuel) in it... i've also added about a 1/4 tank of 92 oct v-power i had in a racing jug. New oil change, didn't see anything in the oil.

It has sat for over a year until i got it running. It's a new head.. PO was worried the block was cracked or something, but I haven't pulled it apart to inspect... just got it running.

Other questions to all you guys... below i've posted a couple youtube videos one of cold start and one after running... do you hear or see anything wrong?? I'm pretty new to these trucks so i'm not sure what's normal and what's not...

any input would be awesome!!

Thanks ahead for any input/help!

 

Sounds like severe exhaust leak or timing chain slap. IMO hard to really tell based off video

 

Yeah, I haven't been under it yet, but I think there's a pretty bad exhaust leak somewhere. Should probably double check timing.

 

nice s2000. i been trying to sell mine and by trying i mean take it to carmax and see what they give me lol

 

auto tranny started leaking. NO i didn't break it! i didn't get to do anything to break it. I need info on what could have caused it, and solutions. its leaking heavily... thanks!

 

Bruno, start your own thread....you'll get more help that way instead of hijacking this one.

 

Not my intention to hijack. I apologize. I don't know how to do that tho. I was more hoping a nice guy would help a stranded girl figure something out. sorry again tho.

 

Go to the 86-95 Trucks and 4Runners section, on the left side of the screen click the blue button that says New Thread. Put in your question with details on the truck and symptoms. People are way more likely to see it.

 

thank you!
