Attempted to recharge my AC with those cheap AutoZone kits

failed

It's 100+ outside today, this sucks.

Pressure is shown on the gauge, connect to low port, shaked can a bunch while pushing the trigger for 15 minutes. At first the air felt cool, but it suddenly felt pretty average. It's not cold like it use to be three years ago. I have a bad leak somewhere I think. The compressor kicks on and it accepts the charge, but the air isn't very cool. It's going into the shop.

thanks. i was messing around with the is300 rear view but couldnt get it to work properly. i also broke it. found this rear view at the junk yard and it works! but it doesnt dim with the push of the button like the lexus. it auto dims at NIGHT only. mirror was like $25 bucks

but NOW i can no longer use the small middle sun visor. the mirror blocks it. my stock mirror mount is still in place. i glued the new one to a new position, it doesnt hit the left or right visors.

There was oil on the first two spark plugs. New valve cover gasket?
Then i washed her

the same thing happened to me after i seafoamed my SC400. I had oil on one of the passenger side spark plugs. let me know what the cause of it is because i need to address the issue myself.

thanks!

Installed a turbo on my V8 and make it roar a little. Hopefully tomorrow I'll finish with the intercooler and go for a ride!
Need some help with the AEM F/IC-8 to tune it, if anyone knows...
Here's a clip of her first start:
