Busyness causes stress

As if you did not know, busyness can cause awful stress :/ Especially if ones own matters are not taken care of.

I've taken few trips to Turku during last few weeks. Both times I've been running a bit late of the schedule, so I've had to take the March close to Mach 2! It almost tore the car into particles. In addition of extreme gasoline consumption, I got few side noises to the car. Some weird resonation, which is really annoying. I think it is a heat shied, but I must check. The sound stresses me, thus making the idling my personal Elm Street nightmare. The noise is the Freddy Krueger, growing in my imagination, making my life constant nightmare even when I am awake...

Been busy - as usual.

I've been too busy to do anything fun or interesting with my baby car. Added some stickers though :D

Soon is midsummer, in a week to be exact, so I'll probably have some spare time to be spent. And I intend to use it well!

Breathing

As the CG10DE is a hard breather, this one at least, so I built an oil catch can for it :) True DSG creativity with some JDM influence and tadaa, here it is:

 

The location isn't the most optimum one, but it is stable there :) Secured it with cable tie :D

Interestingly, but not surprisingly, the CG10DE response better now. Also, especially at the present with broken MAF, the idling is much smoother and the engine doesn't wobble around the engine bay as much as it did. I guess, the amount of fuel is now much larger than the amount of oil in low revs. Which obviously was not the case before :D Making of this could had saved the MAF, but little did I know that I even had one...

New Belts

Installed new belts.

The installation wasn't as easy task as I have used to with Honda. The belts are too short and adjustability of the alternator is way too short. I had to remove the Alternator in order to remove the belt.

New Fuel Filter

The stalling did not stop even with sealing the manifold, so I changed the fuel filter.

Didn't help, but filter is changed.

Checking and Fixing

The idling was awful and exhaust gasses leaked around the manifold. So, I cleaned the air filter and checked Lambda Probe. Also replaced the headers gaskets and bolts for the exhaust pipes flexible attachment.

Playing with Cameras and Urban District

How cool! My March is a super model :D

Me and C-Rock had a bit fool time together :D It all started with agony against the things we should do. Supporting each other, we made a decision to head for Pasila’s underground hideout to clean my March. The results are here to be seen. Pls enjoy and leave a comment.

ps. It’s all taken with my phone cam, and only for fun :)
