ViNcEnXo Regular Location: Brisbane Registered: July 2003	Update on the soarer - Smiles all round really Mon, 19 January 2004 02:44 Just thought I'd let you all know how the Soarer is going since you all helped me out with the problems I was having... Well she's all back together now with a HKS MHG and ARP bolts, torqued down at 85 ft/lb, toyota red coolant and demineralised water (after the whole coolant system was flushed), full 'super' synthetic oil (10W40) and new filter ofcourse, new rack and tie rod ends, new lower control arm bushes (the old ones were looking tired and well, very 15 years old). Whole engine bay and engine have been washed down, started detailing the engine bay will finish that off soon. Had my oil light come on just after the engine was done, lots of oil and good oil flow, pulled the sensor out to put a guage in it, found the sensor to be rooted, bought a new one from toyota dropped it in and all is well. Need a new pipe from the afm to the turbo (if anyone has one please pm me) as it's gone hard and cracked, I am making do with it for the moment, I polyurethaned it up using my home made makeshaft mould and it seems to be working, but I'd like to put a good one on there. Mechanic who fixed the head gasket did something to the air con, it's not getting cold anymore, lots of gas, but the clutch won't come on. I've got no idea. No error codes coming from the diagnostics, car is making good power, ok fuel economy (seems to be around 10-12L per 100km). All in all (touch wood) it seems to be running pretty good, just for fun I balanced a coin on the top of the engine as it was running the other day, it's as smooth as silk, revved it and the coin didn't move. Thanks for all the help, *crosses fingers* no more dramas with it. A few photos for you all: [Report message to a moderator]
