bananahamuck Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Sooooooo,,, you bought a giant wing ? Hey i have seen MAACO advertising their $299. paint job again lately ,, but not sure if it`s at all locations, or colors you can pick from,, FYI we spent over $700. to paint a celica in our own garage a couple of months ago .. the single stage paint we threw on was over $300. alone. Sub in picture of sons car above is now removed because it is blown ,,, magnet fell off or something i don`t know.. Thank god cuz i had to wear earplugs when he drove me around. 1 Quote Link to comment
robopineapple Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Well sense the guy still hasnt shipped them off i guess ill spill the beans...i got me some fender flares :D if i went to maaco they would have to strip the primer off my car and fix the fender before they will even think about painting it.

bananahamuck Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 No man they just spray a primer sealer on there that is compatable with the paints they are using,, and away they go... You throw a straight fender on that bitch and your good to go. Leave the windows down and they will paint the interior for free. Take it from someone who loves to paint cars but can`t do it for shit,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, new paint almost always looks better than primer spots no matter how bad it is. Quote Link to comment
robopineapple Posted August 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 True true, i should probably hit up pnp then... Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Just read your thread. Your wagon is in way better shape than mine.! Keep up the work. 1 Quote Link to comment
robopineapple Posted August 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Hey thanks brother! its been falling apart lately though. i think i need to replace the radiator :( Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 I think my radiator is bad too. I'm thinking a 720s with a Z may work for mine. A 620 may work for yours. Cruising eBay, it lists a 620 along with the late 510s. Not positive though. Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Try autozone, I got a new one for under $150, it did take 3 days to order it tho, but worth it! Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 so what issue are you having with the goon? and what have you done to it prior to the issue? Quote Link to comment
robopineapple Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 so i blew a head gasket, replaced it. set the timing all good, if its off, its 5 degrees retarded. put it all back together and now when i start it it runs at a very high rpm for like five seconds then dies. tried messing with the choke cause i hadnt had it hooked up before. it will keep running if i hold the flaps to a certain point. tried to wire it to right there but i couldnt get it lol. messed with the idle speed and junk but it still dies if i dont have the flaps at the right point or if i dont give it gas Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 ok, lets start with the basics.... when was the last time you replaced your furl filter? did you pull the timing cover off when you did the HG? Quote Link to comment
robopineapple Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 replaced the fuel filter while i had the engine apart for the gasket. so its brand new. yeah i took of the timing cover Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 ok, put the motor to TDC and pull the dizzy, post a pic, and lets check your timing Quote Link to comment
