Let me start by saying I dont get on here much unless im scowering threads looking for information. This is going to be more of a blog/build eventually.

Ok! on to the blasphemy... Im going to kill my 96 JDM ITR with hopes of her rising like a bad *** pheonix...In the USA.

Backstory: I was deployed here in Okinawa and couldent talk to my wife for the couple of weeks or so and the first email got from her was saying she used my power of attorney to sell my Toyota Surf (4 runner), needless to say I was pissed. After a hate filled email, she sent me a reply with these pictures




She was looking for a present for when I got back. It had blown valve guide seals (smoked durring vtec) and it had been rebuilt due to the previous owner (2 before me) striping it and it dident have all of the factory R parts (headlitghts intirrior pieces ect ect). I told her go jump on that fast. So $2500 down. I just had to wait a few more months to see my new girlfriend (the caR). As they say, if its to good to be true it probally is. Somone rode her hard and put her away wet..... and the headgasket was leaking bad and she was rusting like hell, but hey, I still had my b18c. Easy fix, or so I thought.

The delema: Machine shops that I called to resurface the head were backed up for at least 6 monts here and they literally wanted my left nut to mill the head. After debating with the Wifey we decided we were going to strip her and send her home in boxes (TMO) via good ol Uncle Sam when we left here in 6 months or so. She wanted spare parts for my EK wich is a whole nother story


So all she had to do was get me to work and back. But the wife was determined to get her back running strong she bought me a b16 and it was off to work




we decided not to waste the $$ on gaskets and studs, the b16 and b18c would be dissassembled and packed. I did strip and paint the spare valve cover that came with the b16 though. Yes the oil cap is fake... and no.. I dont care


polished the headlights, painted the lip, and un screwed the grill that was hacked to ****


We had our first son at the end of December and he had problems, so we are PCSing to the states earlier then expected so if we need more help, well, we will get it.

On to the death:







I would like to pull the motor and trans next week but still awaiting orders and need a DD just in case...updates to come

 

Let me get this straight, the wife you sent "a hate filled email" to, is the same one that found you an ITR, is the one that has a bun in the oven and is sitting on stone, on the ground, cleaning your car seats and has car engine parts on her kitchen counter???

You did have one of your buddies give you a swift kick in the ***, sending her a pic of that and copious amounts of her favorite flowers to appologise, right? 94

 

+1

 

lol truth

 

No she told me she sold my truck out of the blue while I was gone.... When I asked her WTF THEN she sent me pics of of the car.

And yes my wife was highly active durring her pregnancy. Not all women just lay on the couch when there pregnant. She's a Marine too, she had to PT work ect ect just the same as anyone until she was 4 months. You try telling a pregnant woman she can't do something, see how far that gets you.

 

Yes, she gets flowers all the time. And no, that is MY bar (dish storage) the car parts are on.

 

All I've got to say is "Nice lookin EK you've got there, mine will look like that eventually" lol

 

Very clean good job

 

looking really good

 

Nice

 

Nice looking hatch. Youre lucky to have such a wife, mine does not like Hondas haha BTW thank you for you service
