  1. Glad to hear it guys! time does fly, that is definitely certain haha
  2. or holidays...which ever you prefer haha. Be safe.
  3. I emailed him, twice! I am trying to sell my truck, once that's gone...ill sell my guns, I don't care lol. I am a die hard gun owner, but I LOVE LOVE the vr4
  4. and you are not getting any codes with the maf-t? if your misfiring under boost, I would still check your plugs, wires, coil, FPR, fuel filter. under load these items will cause a misfire. especially if your running fine and not under load. what kind of plugs are you running?
  5. and what happened to the scene? have things died down? I see sqc is not as active? even my local car club is scattered now!
  6. well you said you had the problem before the maf-t. I would have fixed that before you installed the maf-t. But I would still buy a new vac advance, they are cheap and u can have a known good part in your problem tree for fixing the issue. check plugs thoroughly they will be a good indicator as to what is going on. If you haven't changed them recently, or gapped them. wires condition ect. Back to the basics is what I say.
  7. yep two kiddos, and fell out of the car game for awhile, but definitely trying to get back into it. Hopefully I can unload my Silverado, get into some beater until I can get something I want in the realm of another vr4, starion, or who knows. I almost traded for an FRS but...I do not want another vehicle payment, that's how I got where I am now haha.
  8. hey guys, been gone awhile again. 2 kids, wife, work ect ect. life gets crazy. selling our old house and moved on base. finally got some internet again woohoo! I see that the boards have...definitely changed! my 10 month old keeps grabbing my laptop so I will definitely have to scour the boards and see what you have all been up to!
  9. snow is going pretty good up here...but i cant wait for summer...in like...6 months lol. AF is still trucking, doing some research for what to do when i decide to get out and become a civilian again =)
  10. bill hincher is working on making the 3kgt RWD, this can be incorporated into the quest. water pump is no fun, as your pretty much doing a timing belt on the 6g72 at that point.
  11. So after the wedding, buying the new truck and recently finding out we are "expecting"...i sold both the vr-4's. it was soooooooooooo sad to see them go. they sold in under 8 hours of posting them for sale too. probably because of rarity and the 3kgt was pretty effin mint lol. but...i need my turbo fix, so i think i may end up trying to track down a SQ again. i may have to have one shipped...im not sure. but i am keeping my eye out for something! hope you all have been well!
  12. mmm im going to have to get that leveling kit soon! yea those ecoboost engines interest me too! i think the new dodges are pretty sweet too, but we have so many chevys, i needed to stay loyal lol
  13. from my personal experience with the 3kgt, that guy probably couldnt drive. albeit I dont see 3kgts as a drag car what-so-ever, even though the fastest known i think is like 8.6? 1000hp street car. they are more of a hwy killer and auto-x car if u ask me. I can spin tires in 2nd gear stock. 5spds werent the trouble like ashy said, its the 6 speeds. The market for 3kgts is HUGE!! only pricey things (like any other turbo car) is a turbo package, and we have two soooo it costs a good $5000+ for a good set of td05's. but, there are people pushing over 700+hp on tiny td04s and stock internals. and its pretty easy to get over 1000hp on these with the right build. heck u can stoke them out to 4.0 or 4.1 liters now, thats nuts...like 1400+ hp arena...on a streetable platform
  14. i havent tried yet! they say it has 315hp and 335 tq for the 5.3 and the only thing i think thats added that would boost performance is the "high capacity" air cleaner that was added on the z71 package, or one of the other packages thats on it. says i can tow 10,700lbs which is cool.
