  3. Care, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting
    Hey guys, been a while since my last post but I have made many improvements to my Spyder. Several of these have been with the hope of clearing up this issue where with quick throttle application the revs dip between 200-500 revs. I have done everything I can think of to solve this issue...

    Hi everyone, I’m looking to trade my white oem hardtop for either a red or black oem hardtop. Paint is pretty good condition for its age and the seals fit well with the windows. No water gets inside. The only issue with it is that the paint chipped off in the back corner due to improper fitting...

  7. Care, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting
    Hey everyone, I have a p0171 (system to lean) code that won’t go away no matter what I do. With some research, I found that the 2zz has something different about the O2 sensors at the midpipe, either one more or one less than the 1zz or something I don’t completely remember. Do you think if I...

    I've been accumulating parts for a while and finally starting to work on the swap. My goal is to get this done over the winter, but I've never done an engine swap so we'll see how that goes. Marc's instructions seem great and his discord group is very helpful as well. I think wiring is going to...

    I just picked up a 2ZZ to get ready for my swap that is said to have 45k miles on it. I pulled the valve cover to throw new lift bolts and a gasket on it and I noticed this scoring predominantly on one lobe of the exhaust cam. You can just barely feel it when you run your finger over it. My...

    Hey everyone. They day has come - the oil burning seems to have caught up to me. I took my car to my mechanic and he says the engine needs to be replaced, and that a rebuild is not possible due to the flaws (pre-2003) that cause the piston ring issues in the first place. He’s quoting me $2k to...
