Not really 4AGE

Produces similar power to 4age but with half the cylinders and 600 less cc’s.

So long crimson zed

It’s time to move on, you’ve overstayed your welcome and it is now time to return to your rightful owner.  Being a 260Z, I could have easily mistaken you for a 510, since you’ve nickel and dimed me of time and resources.  Some day I may own one of your siblings, though i’ll forego the Nissan L series motor and probably drop in a Chevy LS motor for simplicity sake. 

Ice Cold?

R12 is a rarity nowadays, and those who retain the system install the readily available R134.  I have installed this refrigerant in numerous cars, my own included, with marginal results.  Interesting that ads I see for similar cars always say ice cold A/C.  What the hell is wrong?  But then again it’s craigslist, it’s all lies.  I’ve even tried varying amounts refrigerant, using the high tech shop equipment, but never can obtain the results I require.  The usual rule of thumb is about –30 deg from ambient temp.  I usually end with approximately –10 deg.   Not bad but not great.  One solution is to change to a larger condenser and/or change out the expansion valve suitable for R134.  But I like stock, so the only other option is to look for a more suitable refrigerant that will work with the current system.  So that’s will be the hunt for this summer.  Hopefully summer won’t be over before I find a solution.

An odd night

This setting, reminds me of a movie I once saw on TV.  Though the cars here are in rougher shape and style, than what I saw in the movie.  Don’t expect Bow Wow is going to cruise by in his bB. 

AE86 nights where most things corolla make their annual pilgrimmage.  The last time I was here, it was held near Longo Toyota’s service entrance.  Now it’s held in their parking structure.  Very different but interesting. 

 

Haven’t really kept up with the automotive scene as of lately, so I’m like a tourist trying to understand the latest fashion.   So is adding these types stickers a new thing? 

Years ago it was about representing the club/teamweather it be fo’ sho’ and race, yeah really did both.  Just like in the movies. Or the uber cool parts manufactuer, cause that’s all they can afford.

Team Hella flush hentai.

Corvette style wheels on an MK1 MR2.  For some reason, i’m digging it.  It’s not an LS motor but i’ll do.

Moar sticka, it seems to be the theme for this event.

Reminds me of the JGTC AE86 years ago.  Was this a kit or custom made?

Owners come in all ages.  But most only last a few years before they realize it’s ruining their lives.

As usual, it’s good to see old friends who still have a genuine passion for the AE86.  Kudos for keeping this meet going.  Maybe when I stop being lazy picky, i’ll get another corolla in the stable.  I think next years sticker should probably say’ fanboys ruining corollas’ and show the same pic. 

Until then mooowaaa stiiiikkkaaaa.
