I'm in Woodbridge every night almost, and again, different colour car, and mine now lacks the piece of pipe from the catalytic to the resonator, so the roaring sound is unmistakeable lol

That it is.... thank God my parents decided to be generous and foot the bills thus far for most of those items....

Update: It was one of the main wires that gives power to the fuel pump, distributor and maybe one or two other things from what my mechanic described to me. So that was fixed..... BUT thats not the end, oh no, it can never be that easy (and so f---in expensive $350for disty, $200 for fuel pump, anot...

Being a bit of an adrenalin junkie myself I'd say bring on the parachutes and open skies. I wouldn't do the bungee jumping... had a friend hurt himself doing that down in Mexico so I think I'll stick to a parachute, even if I am strapped to the instructor for the first few jumps.

Well, I've been internet-dead for some weeks now, but here's an update on the problem.... the fuel pump was replaced two weeks ago, late thursday night on the way back from work the engine just conked out right in the left lane of the 427.... a quick tow to my mechanic and a new fuel pump later... g...

Well, the HEI was attempted, until it was found that I have a '95 style disty in there, so after some creative thinking on my and Steve's (MX3GSR for dummies sp?) part we decided I needed a new disty, seeing as the coil was mangled beyond repair, major rust and corrosion around the main metallic pie...

Oh come on Deb, I know your into the underground trance and house screne!!!!

Ah crap, trance + house = God's music, hopefully there will be another shindig like that when I come back!

In Vancouver now, and its raining like a mother*****!

When it stalls is it at low-idle usually? Maybe there is a vaccum leak in the intake. It usually is at low idle, but then it refuses to start up again for quite some time usually, the first time it happened I couldn't get it started for over 2 hours, then had it towed home, the following night I tr...

Hey whats up, we met at meadovale meet on the 11th, anyways, I hate to say it but you have the exact symptoms of a module failure so don't go driving too far and if you do, have CAA. That module will get warm and then voila, down again. Like Kp2t said "HEI conversion" about a half hour at...

Yah, that was actually the first thing I checked cause my friend had a similar problem with his mass air flow sensor causing stall outs on a 240SX. But this is what I got accomplished today, picked up some OEM replacement spark plugs ( 6 x $3.05 ) a new distributor cap and rotor ($34 for the cap, $6...

New development, was gonna go grab some McDonald's with my brother and decided for shits and giggles to try and start the car, and lo behold, on the second attempt it fired up... so I'm guessing its not the fuel pump, but most likely the plugs and/or the disty which may be on its way out. Any voulun...

Any chance of getting the fuel pump, and the spare tire?

Hrmmm... I really have no clue wtf they're talking about there :/ And I'm going to Vancouver on Tuesday so I have no desire to be messing around with that stuff in the mean time... with my luck I'll stab something in a fuel rail while I have a cigarette burning in my hand... I'll be back next week M...

I'd come, but my MX is parked in my driveway and its not drivable

Well, just after dropping my gf off tonight my little beast stalled out on me. Right out of the blue, sitting there idling and then bam, dead. Two things occurred to me: #1. I'm screwed. #2. How badly am I screwed? My first reaction was: its the distributor... or my spark plugs (best scenario). Then...
