88 MR2 SC

 Bled the clutch fluid yesterday... test drove car today... all good... Oil pressure gauge not working is really annoying especially because it was working when I took it to Scallys auto... fuckers... Useless redneck fucks...

 Did a break fluid bleed a couple days ago... DOT 3 instead of DOT 4... apparently it absorbs less moisture but has a lower boiling point... Since I'm only driving early morning to the Café :) and no more track days in the near future, it seemed to be the best choice... Also tried a new technique ... used a small plastic drain bottle like normal but as soon as the tube was full I had Atsuko keep pumping while I just kept the nipple open. Had to stop every so often to make sure the reservoir didn't empty, but it was much faster then the loosen tighten each time method ... Doing for a drive in a couple hours... its 4:20 AM... could not go back asleep...

  added this bottle to engine oil today... Also I fabricated a short shift tab that helps getting into 1st gear a little easier... Not perfect but totally livable... Ima soooo happy I was able to get Yoshida running good again... Looking forward to next café run...

 drove car today... vacuum leak fixed a lot including the need to wait under 2,000 rpm to disengage gear so it doesn't idle high... That fuck'n Linh mechanic is worthless...  anyways... also no problems getting into gear... except for one new issue... 1st gear is a little hard to get into ???? replaced the 2nd shift cable to OEM, didnt fix the problem but Im happier having OEM then MR2 Heaven... also changed transmission fluid...

  Did an oil change today... was only able to remove about 1.5 quarts from the pump... removed the rest with the drain plug... changed 5 quarts exactly... Also cleaned air filter with 409 and water... dried and sprayed with WD40...

 Well its been FOREVER since I posted... Now in Florida... Im sure too much to mention happened last two years but here we are... Been noticing its harder to get into 3rd gear. Also car has been revving higher and higher to the point when I was in neutral it would rev all the way up... barley made it home... With a little research ended up finding a major rip in a hose exiting intercooler that was a cheap radiator hose... I replaced it with a proper hose $32 and solved that problem... during that fix I discovered one of the shifter cables was destroyed and most probably causing my 3rd gear shift issue... I finally resolved that issue and replaced cable two times... But now it doesn't come in contact with header and has plenty of heat shielding I will go for my first test drive this coming Tuesday... So basically Yoshida is a Tuesday Café racer :) LOVE this car...
