I used to think that until I got a set of bearing buddies and left a grease gun in the truck (and used it every time I pulled out of the water).

Correct. Just pump in fresh grease every time.

Unless it's below freezing, then drive for a few miles to warm up the grease, or you'll blow the seals out the back of the hubs and spend the next 8 hours trailering on 3 wheels from Albany, NY to Wareham, MA.


Or so I've heard.

Oh. I don't know anything about sub-freezing wheel bearings given that all of the marine stuff I've done has been in a tropical climate :v:

im not using it for rallycross, there's a heavy police presence here stopping me from doing anything fun, no snow... it's not in the right place and needs to get wrecked into trees like it was built to do

Even the MR2?

Badger looks rather uncertain of the Benz. I think that's because it's too new and he can still smell the adhesives.

We can talk about how the Mrs.' Jeep just died, or the front brakes on the MR2, or the rolling dumpster fire that is the AMG.

Truth be told I'm studying for the PE exam and I'm working a shitload and I'm back into the swing of gradschool so my cars just sit there.

Part of the appeal is that the MR2 doesn't get Adiabatic into trouble. Both of those options are gonna be gorgeous temptresses of trouble. The BEAMS would be quick without being awesomely insane.

I see the possibilities as:
Some bizzaro wiring fault was causing that entire bank to not fire.
The 2-8 bank wasn't receiving adequate fuel pressure due to an issue with the line or the rails.
O2 sensor lying to the ECU.
ECU flipping it's poo poo with and going into single bank limp mode. I don't know enough about Toyota ECUs to elaborate.

My experience with a Honda dealer was pretty similar to yours when I went to check out the Civic Si. I wasn't comfortable with the lower roofline of a Civic with a sunroof so I nixed it from my Spicy Small Car search.

Wife and I rolled up with pre-approved financing from our credit union and 3k down for our FoST. This was the middle of last year and it was for a 2017, so you know the dealer was desperate to get the thing off the lot.

The'll jerk you around a lot less if you come with financing and some cash ready to go.

You're electrically adept, LS ECUs are wide open, just make a project that speaks Porsche CAN to lie to the body modules. You can packet log CAN. The adapters aren't massively expensive. Fabbing exhaust poo poo is no biggy.
