Anyone else change their o2 sensors every year or something around there? I changed mine out recently and what a difference. The car was starting to run a bit rich, now it seems to run great. Put some new pulleys on with double bearings and the new Weistec belt, changed the blower oil and the new v2 tranny is shifting nice hard.

I was getting a bit of belt noise on a cold start, thinking the belt needs to wear into the pulleys some, anyone else?

Belt needs to get worked in a bit.Nice to see tranny is good!!

Ya the noise is only on a cold start then goes away when it's hot. My previous belt made no noise, hoping it goes away.

yep i change my o2 sensors every 6 months mate

hows the tranny??

Merc63

Tranny is good.

One of the pulleys I got from Weistec was missing a snap ring, I didn't catch it before install. It wore into the engine and a hose a bit as it moved around. I sent them a few emails for a new one, haven't heard back, not sure what's up with these guys...

Every six months?? Why are you having to do this I have noticed quite a bit of extra gas smell at start up since pulling it out of storage this spring and I did replace one o2 censor last fall just before putting the blower on.

Merc63, how often do you change your blower oil?

i've never really done anything special. Im at about 45kmi now, around 30k of that with the blower on. I was thinking about changing the blower oil soon. Never really thought about changing the oxygen sensors just cuz but thats probably not a bad idea. How many of ya'll are actually running cats? Any of ya'll daily driving yours? My wife daily's ours and it gets about 15 miles a day put it on. Im really impressed with how long the toyo r888's are lasting. Maybe the first tire to get over 3kmi out of it. I've also noticed some of my intercooler water hoses have some chaffing marks in them and I've started to keep an eye on them. Just won the import face off - forced induction sport class in ennis tx this past weekend. Some of ya'll should try - lots of inconsistent imports that have a hard time holding together.

I have 30,000km and changed the blower oil. Sucked it out and put new fluid in.

The new o2 sensors seem to be doing good, she is running like a complete animal, scary sometimes how fast it picks up speed.

Are any of you running a bigger front mount cooler than the one supplied by Weistec? I'm thinking about going for a bigger one and bigger ice tank to keep those temps down even more.

Good to know, Thanks!
