Congrats on the new move Tim! As someone who just moved near the Portland Metro area in Spring it'll be nice to see what you get into here in Oregon. Will be keeping an eye out for the Summer party next year.

Sick. Where was this?

How did you get your valley in there so clean?

I second this, installed dual Walker cats and have had no issues since putting them on. Only gripe was the packaging they were sent in has little to no protection so O2 studs were always bent so on the third or fourth try I finally received some that weren't damaged.

Need some help determining if I should install 891 or 861 OME rear coils. I carry a full size spare and tools in the cargo area as well as a roof top tent that stays on majority of the time. Currently I have 890 coils installed and they are sagging under this current load as well as have lean...

Reviving a very dead thread Just moved to Camas so not too far from Portland from the East Coast and am looking for some fellow 3rd gen owners to either wrench or hit some trails with. Hit me up if you're down!

Got the ARB front bumper installed recently after being gifted it by my awesome girlfriend. The install was straightforward using Timmy's video but I had two crusty driver side tow hook bolts that fought me tooth and nail. One of them eventually snapped but after an hour on the second one I...

Installed a 1/4" spacer on the drivers side front strut due to lean; it definitely helped a little bit but still have some small lean angle. Did not take measurements but all is good for now until I get a better front suspension setup. One thing I am a little peeved about though is that the...

Life Expectancy So my 2001 is sitting around 270k miles and I'm contemplating if I want to keep investing money into it based on it's life expectancy The hydraulic master cylinder seems to have gone on it and will need to be replaced which will be roughly $1500-2000, and the rear seals and VCG...

Repaint? :thumb3:

How long did your previous Denso unit last for? I dropped one in mine about 10k miles ago and it's performing fine so far but it's always good to know how long to expect it can last for until it meets its demise.

I would greatly appreciate a photo of the location of that heat shield. I've poked around the engine bay and underneath too many times now and I only see the foam(?) heatshield media and not any metal but I may also just not be seeing it entirely.

I'll give the 91/93 octane gas a shot next time I need to go to the gas station - but I have accelerated the car above 3k RPMs recently so wouldn't it have set off a knock code?

I can't be 100% sure it's in the engine bay but it sounds very much like it when I'm inside the car. When revving it in at the TB with the hood open in park I do not hear the sound; I also put the rear on jack stands the other day and put the car in drive and revved it to the 1500-2000 RPM...

Where did you end up hiking/camping in Kentucky? Looks nice out there
