    How long should i let my car warm up in winter time?

    Your oil is thick, but letting it warm up 1 min or 20 doesn't make a difference due to the viscosity. Once your needle starts to move should be just fine. It's not really gonna be getting into any more places until you put some laod on the motor and put some pressure through the pump. The only...

    Need more POWER!!!

    Injectors will def help you raise your boost levels higher, on a stock turbo. Like stated up top, a bigger turbo wont do anything without supporting mods.Learn what you think your goals are going to be and search the forums for the advice on the best way to get you there. Sometimes on a...

    Need more POWER!!!

    You need to get an EMS like an safc or something. then get a boost controller and fix your valve cover. hook it up and up the boost. Haveing a bigger turbo does nothing without the supporting mods and an EMS is a pretty good place to start so you can tinker a bit.used safc= $150 give or...

    I'm not sure why you haven't traded yet lol. Your on a DSM forum and a majority are pretty much saying to go for it, it's what your goals are performance wise, and it's a higher value!

    What would you do in my situation...!! Help Please... PICS..

    Yeah, one of the prodominant reasons there are more is cost... dsm's are cheap. They break all the time just like a modded nissan could. Parts may be more expensive on a nissan, but you get what you pay for. I would do it, and if you think your not happy then sell it. It's worth more and you can...

    I would try the leak down test. It sounds like he was haveing a ball with the car and could of easily worked a leak in somewhere. I'm sure you could get a stock BOV for a decent price too.

    Hearing a clicking sound when pushing in clutch

    I would say to do the bleed job. If you know somethings not right then knock it out before you ask the question. If the problem is still there then it could be your clutch slave or master cylinders. They're hydrolic and have some moving parts. Other than that it could have something to to with...

    I have done a speaker system in every car I have owned. Take it from experience that you DO NOT want to buy cheap speakers!!!

    how much boost can i safely run on a stock set up

    Does this mean with absolutely no engine management system? It's recommended not more than 15lbs because the t25's are kinda weak. But that's with at least an safc... I guess you could slowly just give your mbc a twist and then rip it. Then give it a little more and then rip it again. Keep doin...

    Can i get headers and a testpipe without changing the sound of my exahaust?

    Adding a test pipe is going to add some noise. Really anything you cahage with your exhaust will altar the sound, but certain things will give you different variations in sound. Either way an exhaust manifold is to help with flow and then removing the test pipe is gonna be compounded onto that...

    What are your goals with the car? You would want to think about this and what it is going to take to get you there. Do you want a nice daily driver? A street demon? Or maybe a drag car... I'm asuming that your not goin drag only (yet anyway) and that you want something very reliable. I was gonna...

Then you slowly push the panel with clips into the body useing your hands as a guide to keep it straight. The clips...

    Question for people with exhausts in VA

    Not from VA and have never fought an exhaust ticket, but one thing I can say is that it's up to the judge on the interpretation of that law. You best chance is to find information about the inside workings of the exhaust, how many resinators are on it( which mine came with them, did yours?)...

    Way to test if speakers are bad?

    You can test them by directly connecting them to the cd player. just pull the cd player out and make sure all the connections are correct and pull the speakers and connect the wires drectly to the spaeker. Really it's just shortcutting the harness. Here's a link to the wiring colors:96...
