    Good call on getting the leak fixed... MAF cars definitely hate leaks. I have a few couplers to pressure test piping and then spray on some soapy water, but even then it can be a challenge depending on where the leak is.

    The HKS BOV design is still one of the best in my opinion since added pressure really helps the piston seat and isn't nearly as finicky as some other 'quick-acting' types. The main challenge is getting one that isn't an ebay clone. Given the inherent design, the clones can still do fairly well... but I've seen the center smaller valve for lighter throttle releases not function, and also seen them still manage to leak with questionable seating/and springs on the back end. You can work around it a bit, but if you can find a new/used authentic, you'll save yourself a lot of headache. Used clones vs. used authentic don't seem to differ too much in price $80-$150 just because most guys think theirs is authentic. New authentic are in the 400-450 range.

    Don't think I'll verify authenticity. Just throw money at me lol!

    I did notice excessive blow-by during cold start, but not sure if it's because it's colder today and/or the change made that happen. Too many factors.

    There's a sexy lil 60s Nissan patrol on Kijiji that'd keep you entertained for years

    And it's brick shaped!

    Not sure about the music, but more boost is a good cure for boredom

    Is it weird I was looking up "Twincharged 940" on Google?

    I could also upgrade the Mitsubishi turbo to a big one. That's just asking for trouble.

    No one wants to weld me front struts! I also can't find new spindles to mock a setup.

    Check this board for wealth of info https://www.brickboard.com/, in terms of parts, I used to go to https://www.ipdusa.com/ (it is in Oregon, but they ship here as well). I had 740 turbo wagon and it was the beast brick.

    It's time to dump money in it and make it my own. Only logical thing to do, really.

    My boredom will be rectified by making this wagon a boss ride.

    First thing cleared: Finding the elusive third row seats.

    Granted, they're beige but once installed it should be good to go for now. Unless I figure out how to dye vinyl/leatherette.

    Got a lot of plans now mwhahahha.

    What's leaking so badly that it's noticeable? Rear main seal?

    Wat. Your board somehow noticed you have a bad head gasket? I'm so confused. Are you leaking fluids, or just smoking out the parking garage?

    It's slowly leaking coolant to the floor, and I noticed that the sides around the head gasket is always wet.

    Having an external coolant leak from a head gasket is pretty uncommon, but I suppose it's possible. Got any pics of the leak?
