Lol. As much as I want to. I just don't know any people out there. I've heard you can use a PO box as your home address and get a dmv at that PO Box's state?

You can get a P.O. box as your home address, my grandmother does such. Not sure what you mean with the DMV and all though. Speaking of DMV the one advantage to living in the middle of nowhere you can get a car titled or license renewed in about 10 minutes.

good to see it looking one colour again
so whats next?

i have a grill thats completely silver, so i'm going to paint it black and then clear coat it so it doesn't rust. even though its summer here. this is what the inside part of the bumper should look like. my crappy paint skills
whats next hmm. polyurethane bushings is all I need to complete the suspension. i still need some new rear rotors along with upgraded brake pads. remove the governor. and make the car lighter, some clear sidemarkers, remanufactured twin piston avalon calipers or ss3 calipers. once this member that lives not to far from me figures out the conversion for superstrut i might go that route.

I meant like since I live in Cali, I can get a PO box in Texas and use that as my home address so I can register my car through Texas DMV and avoid the SMOG checks. Lol. Even though I live in a small town. The DMV in my town is the only one in the county so....yea it gets busy. Takes me about an hour to get my car registered or renew or whatever. Lol.

I just picked up some clear sidemarkers that I won't be using if you need them. Bnib. Throw me an offer if you're interested. Your car is looking good.

Hmm I don't know, would mainly depend on if you can get a PO box without being a Texas resident. Even then you'll have Texas tags while living in California.

Sorry about that.
I'm just too damn helpful.
2001 Miata LS 5-speed
ok so i believe toyota took a poop on me. Now note i don't drive the car hard except on a few occasions and the last time i was near redlining (i never redline it nor bounce off the rev limiter) was about a week before this occured. I was driving on the fwy about 65 mph at 3100 rpm and then notice a strange noise. I couldnt tell exactly what it was because I have a bad front right wheel bearing thats been howling at me for the past 3 weeks. I then notice a check engine light turn on a few seconds after i hear the strange noise. Try to step on the gas and notice a 60-70% hp loss. My car now sounds like a subaru. The knocking in the video wasnt as loud as when it first happened. I drove the car 3 miles with the check engine light and noise.you can see a bit of white smoke coming from the valve cover.
How do you read check engine lights? I have a link on how to read them. but didn't quite understand it. i'll have to reread it. The video of the check engine light cycles thru 3 times. sorry i just wanted to make sure i didn't miss anything.

I'd start by checking motor mounts first. The first time I started mine after the transmission swap, it made a sound close to that - scared every ounce of everything out of me, but it ended up being only a slightly loose mount bolt.

In the Diagnostic box under the hood, there will be a TC pin. Take a short piece of electrical wire or a paperclip and run it to a good ground point with the key turned to "on." That will get the CEL flashing, then you check the following link:

I get code 15 from seeing your CEL, which is ignition signal.
checked oil level recently? Could be valves or rod.
I'd look at getting a replacement beams engine, greytop as they are cheaper.
ST202 SS-II CELICA threadNew Zealand members check inSticky thread's: How to contribute and troubleshoot.
I'd pull your COP's and check on those plugs... Based on the code 15 and the noise it's making, it sounds almost like it threw a plug. I've had it happen to my 5S before. Cruising at 35 mph, suddenly there was a pop, no power, and it sounded almost just like that. Turns out my 5S had just spit a spark plug out and that they're known for doing that. I'd bet your BEAMS just did the same thing, but it's not immediately apparent because the valve cover is hiding the COP's and spark plugs.

my friend told me to drain the pan and see if i see any metal flakes. i hope my engine isn't done. how the helk did you guys come up with code 15? please share your wisdom.
whats COP? sorry im a newb! yea i figured a spark plug must have gone capoop suddently or the plug for the coil pack got loose

10...5 = 15
COP = Coil On Plug
Follow richee's check first, then if that doesn't work, you can find out which cylinder the noise is coming from, by removing one of the plugs to the cop (being careful when you're doing this so you don't get a shock) & then sieving in the oil for gold/metal flakes
ST202 SS-II CELICA threadNew Zealand members check inSticky thread's: How to contribute and troubleshoot.
You count the number of CEL flashes to check the code. In your case, you had 1 flash, short pause, 5 flashes. Long pause so it moves on to the next code, but you only have one code so it repeats the code 15.

What those guys said. Hopefully it's just a coil or plug, car troubles are never fun. Especially after you've imbued your soul into them.

ding ding ding we have a winner. i did throw a plug. it shot it straight up into the coil pack and melted stuck onto it. If the cylinders on beams motor are numbered left to right from 1-4 then number 3 was completely dead and had some oil around the plug. also cylinder 2 was flooded with oil. I'm hoping cylinder 3 didn't leak any coolant into it. I guess i didn't tighten plug #3, but i installed these 2 years ago. i was informed that when you install iridium plugs you need to put a special lubricant on the thread's before you install them.
anyhow i tried to screw in a spark plug from another cylinder and it will not thread into the head of the engine. so i need to rethread the cylinder head. yea......
i have yet to drain the pan to see if there are any flakes in the oil

That sucks... On the other hand it could've been worse as well. The worst part of it is having to do all of the work.

That sucks... Those COP's aren't cheap or easy to get here. Hopefully there are no issues besides buying a new set of COP's and rethreading the head for the spark plug.

Whats going on? Cylinder 2 is flooded with oil and cylinder 3 has coolant in it?
Yes they are redtop/greytop beams specific

ST202 SS-II CELICA threadNew Zealand members check inSticky thread's: How to contribute and troubleshoot.
Sounds like the valve cover gasket is blown out.
the center little gasket keeps oil for those cylinders where it should be.
That could of caused the plug to pop out actually...
my st205 swapandour Beams swap
the guy that was helping thought he saw coolant but wasn't sure. I have green coolant btw and he didnt say he say green coolant. so i've got to pull the valve cover off for sure and check for any flakes in the oil...

okay so that you guys know exactly what happend. I drove 4.5 miles with this knocking noise/shot out spark plug melted to coil plug. I turned it on two seperate times for 10 seconds and then another time for 35 seconds. so when i do check oil all i should see is the metal shavings from the threads of the cylinder head.

Assuming they made it past the cylinder which I doubt. Probably still on top the piston.
well all i have to say it took a complete 13 days from the time i sent the payment to the time I received my package. and I'm talking about the OEM Beams engine parts. which i sourced from onnaj in netherlands. He was able to get me good pricing. just like lithia but at a shipping rate 2-3 times faster. Lithia told me a 4-6 week wait time vs what i waited a short 2 weeks.
no all im waiting on is the used coil plugs and then i have to figure out where i'll work on the car at n who will help me.
