But if you need to tow some crazy heavy trailer up Duncan St. in SF tho. This always makes me think of my 66 Toyota pickup that couldn't get 1/2 way through the intersection in 1st.

That was worth the digging, nearly didn't win because of the constant shifting lol

Best way to drain/flush an entire fuel system? This thing has 2 year old E85 in it.

Unhook fuel line from the rail, run it into a bucket, then turn the car to run and jump the fuel pump in diagnostic box. Or use the fuel drain plug on the tank. I would probably plan on swapping in a new fuel filter to be safe.

Worry about injectors? Or just flush, replace filter and maybe pump, roll?

I mean I guess you could put a battery to the injectors to clean them some. I would say fuck it and run them as is after draining fluid and replacing filter.

concealer404 08-18-2017 12:50 PM

I won't be running them. I'll have them cleaned i suppose.

What are the NB1 injectors for? Passing EPA inspection? And have they arrived?

We don't have emissions or inspection here. :) They're for running the car on. ;)

And yes, they have arrived! Many thanks!

18psi 08-18-2017 01:31 PM

No emissions, no inspections, and he keeps them both N/A.

This is the highest level of blasphemy

I've had three turbo miatas. I've done my penance. I am now free to do as i please. I've completed the MT Circle of Life.

There will be two more, though. And you guys will like neither of them.

Flier129 and Vteckiller2000 witnessed the car running yesterday morning. Blew a huge fireball. Motor/pump/ignition seem fine. Car merely doesnt run well because it has 2 year old E85 in the tank.

So naturally, we tore it to pieces. But first.... got some parts and such.

Not shown: Timing belt kit, Gates water pump, Exedy clutch master and slave cylinder.

GarageStar frame rails and fender braces.
