If you have your debit card only linked to your paypal account you have to request a check for the money in your account. Unless you plan to use that money and buy something online via paypal. If you have your bank account linked to your account (like myself) you just deposit the money straight...

Well just a little update for anyone checking back on this. The wiring is BEYOND shot. I tried everything I could then ended up taking it to my mechanic. They said they didn't even know where to start. The computer was somehow bypassed with a lot of the wiring from the previous owner. So...

Well I didn't check the compression prior to buying it which I maybe should have and I will tomorrow, but for the price I paid luckily I won't get burnt if that is the case. Modifications would be a bigger turbo, but on stock injectors. I turned the boost gauge almost all the way down because...

I just picked up a 2g project car this Thursday and bought it having some problems, but for the most part are fairly easy fixes. As the title says the car will not drive past 3k rpms, if it is in neutral it will free rev all the way to 6500rpms. I drove it home which was about a 20 minute drive...

They're DEFINITELY genuine! ExtremePsi are great people to deal with.

It was a 5.9 in Mineral, Virginia. Between Charlottesville and Richmond. I live about 130 miles southeast of it in Roanoke, Virginia and I felt it twice. Although nothing happened, it was different to say the least.

Sorry for the late response! There are 4 different Gates, is it preference on which one to get? Or is there a recommended one to get? Thanks a TON for the quick responses!

The Radiator is a CxRacing. I did some research here and most people had great results with it. So hopefully thats not it. Because if so, there's $145 down the drain. As far as thermostat goes I still have the stock one I am guessing. That is next to get replaced. Any suggestions on thermostats...

2g GST wheels that I painted bronze. I really like them, and they were fairly cheap lol. I picked them up for 75$ locally.

Well I know one thing with my car is I got slim fans. eBay ones, and I have a feeling that might be why it is creeping up so much at stops and city traffic. I have a short route fmic so I had to ditch the stock fans. I'm going to try one stock fan if I can get it cut up enough to fit. Also have...

Ok I should also add. I only see the 225 when stopped at a long light or more than 5 minutes of stop and go city traffic. If I am one the highway it is never above 205.

Ok so I have been having cooling problems for about 8 months now. I've replaced everything to do with cooling minus the thermostat. I have looked for this answer but it varies quite a bit. So I would like feedback to narrow it down. If you could please post the HIGHEST temperatures you see while...

Thanks a ton for all the input! Since I was in a pinch and needed one quick and rather cheap, I went with CxRacing one. I did some research on here and from what I heard everyone was more than happy with them. Hopefully I will too.

So I was driving down the road on Thursday and noticed smoke coming from underneath my hood, glanced at my temp gauge and it was 240. So I pulled into a parking lot immediately popped my hood and saw the upper radiator hose blew off. Well the neck of the radiator where the hose attaches to broke...

I dont know if you tried the website or not. But about a year ago me and another member on tuners got scammed by the same guy. Got me for 150$ and the other guy for 275$. We both went to that site and filed complaints and even followed up with calling some number we got referred and nothing...

I go in yesterday to my local Advance, theres a few knowledgeable people and some not so much. Anways I was picking up some oil, oil filter, and antifreeze. I walk up to the counter lay the stuff down and the guy starts talking to me.Him: Is that your red car out there? Me: Yes it sure is...

Yes they're kicking on at idle at lights or wherever else. Yes I was worried about that also. I took it to my mechanic he didnt pull the head. But they did do several things checking for any signs of that and he didn't seem to thing that it had happened. But he always could be wrong.

So my car has been overheating for about 2-3 months now. When I am driving it is fine, anywhere from 140-180 depending on the temperature of the day. But when I get into stop and go traffic or idle it after its warmed up the temperature JUMPS to anywhere from 190-225 OMG. I checked for leaks and...

I live in Roanoke Va. Anyone have good reccomendations on a good fairly sheap paint shop in the Roanoke, Lynchburg, New River Valley area? Or maybe even someone who CAN paint? Need some new paint on my 1g.Thanks a lot!

Yes do that so I can switch too the good stuff :thumb: Lol Wytheville is a bit far from Roanoke to just get gas.Hey OP you ever been to Ether Tuning out in Wytheville?

Thanks a ton! I was hoping it wasnt anything TOO expensive. Ill have to see if that wont do the trick :)

No puff of smoke on startup after sitting, only once its been idling a while. Havent noticed it at stop lights either so it takes ATLEAST a minute of idling. I was leaning towards that as well, but wasnt 100%. Thanks for the input.

I have searched for the better half of today at work and cant seem to get what I'm looking for. Its fairly apparent I'm burning oil, BUT the only time I have smoke come out from my exhaust is when it has been sitting and idling for 3+ minutes. Once you hit the gas a nice cloud of smoke comes out...

I ended up getting the magnaflow hi-flo cat myself. Just cut out a flange that matched my downpipe flange and welded that onto the cat. Then they both matched. Obviously if you dont have the tools or knowledge this is hard. But I'm sure any exhaust shop can do it for you fairly cheap maybe 50$

Well only reason is because i'm in Roanoke if you're familiar with where that is. And a 3-4 hour drive is hard to do until summer time. But I need the tune now lol.

No my wideband went out, however I log and can read my o2-r's which can give me a decent idea of my afr's. But I'd have to check on my logs to see. But no I havent noticed anything different.

Well I know it affects it to some extent, but I wasnt sure if it affected it enough to basically anything past 15psi I get CRAZY knock. I've always been able to run 15psi fine, which is what 2-3psi more than stock.

Little background first, I've got a Jeff.O chip on my 1g. I've had problems with it for quite sometime now. (THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BADMOUTHING JEFF.O OR HIS CHIPS)!!!!! Just want to make that clear, because he has been nothing but helpful. Anyways, my car threw a CEL about 2 weeks ago and...

So I'm from Roanoke, VA. I'm looking for a 2g in the area whether it be AWD,FWD,running or nonrunning lol. Only thing is it must be a 5 speed. Also do any of yall know of good tuners/dynos minus MachV and ForeignMuscle? Preferably someone who does custom chips, only because I have a multiple...

Ah I appreciate all the help guys. So I am guessing I am not the only one with this problem lol?

I actually went down to my mechanic to pick up the new PCV valve so I'm not 100% sure what kind or where it came from other than my mechanics. The question about going WOT is more addressed to my problem of having excessive crankcase pressure making the dip stick pop out. I go WOT maybe 4-8...

Ok so my dipstick has been popping out while I got WOT for about 2 months now. Did a little searching on here and heard about the PCV valve being bad. Well I checked mine and it was fine, even replaced it to make sure. Still popping out. Then I did a compression test, 150-150-155-150 so I dont...

Any modded car that you have will almost always last not as long as a stock car. Especially depending on driving. If youre running high boost and going WOT all the time, then of course the engine will get worn a lot quicker along with other things. If you drive it normal and not dog it all the...

Yes Foreignmuscle has an awd dyno!

Just toot it and boot it :) lol. No but for real is she wants you to go all the way, just go for it. I'm 21 so the age thing is a huge deal too me. But hell if shes almost 18 and begging for it, just get too it!

All these fine ladies in Pulaski lol? I know a few girls that are from that area, you might be talking about some i know. Small world lol

Ok long story short, I got a Stage 3 chip from Jeff O. about 2 months ago and I am getting nothing but insane amounts of knock! So I now have time to investigate this more. First thing im going to do is check base timing, now just to make sure it should be set to 5 correct?Thanks

My car has been running hot since I installed my slim fans 2 weeks ago, and it is starting to worry me. So I need a good temperature gauge so I will know exactly how hot it's actually running. So i'm just looking for a good and reliable temperature gauge. Any suggestions on what is the best from...

I've been dealing with anxiety/panic attacks for 3 years. It got so bad at one point that I became agorophobic, which is absolutely dreadful. I finally started taking lexapro about 2 years ago and its helped a lot however it sure is hell isn't a cure. I also go to a psychiatrist every 3 months...

Well that's unfortunate for you however I've been running an eBay downpipe for a year with no problems at all. So saying no1 should buy one is a little too much. That could happen with any downpipe.

Appreciate the help. all i had to do was look on discounttire and it showed it as a "plus zero" so it will work fine.

Yes I know, however im looking for a little more tire. 205 just seems and looks too skinny almost too me.

I have searched and have only came up with one conflicting thread so if it its answered better please direct to to the post. Anyways I have a 1g awd lowered 1.5 inches and im running the stock gst 5 spoke wheels. My question is a 225/50/16 tire too much for this? Im in need of new tires within...

It will start the sync process and go for about 30 seconds and then a long message will pop up and its the same message everytime. Saying something along the lines of there is some problem and it cannot connect with the computer and or palm.Thanks

Ok so before I get flamed for not searching, I have and have tried about 20 different things that other members have suggested and none of them have worked for me! Basically the story goes as my palm died and mmcd got erased as it always does, I figured no problem ill just hotsync and reload it...

So I am going to be installing my megan lowering springs hopefully tomorrow. I have just on question when it comes to the bump stops. Will I have to cut them? And if so can anyone give me a ballpark figure of how much I should cut off of them? Kinda new when it comes to working on suspension so...

I realize its a cheap way, and to me seems fairly dangerous as well. Just wondering other opinons, becuase the two people who did it seemed like it was no big deal. So I guess they have real faith in their little compressors..

Well I went to a little car meet today locally, with a few DSM's representing, few STI's, and of course quite a few Hondas. Anyways on to the question/opinion. I was talking to one owner of a DSM and also a owner of a S2000. They had lowered there cars using mini spring compressors?! Now yes I...

I know a question like this has been asked probably 1000 times, however I have done some searching and havent exactly found what I seem to be a good answer in my situation. I am in the dilemma that most people are between the 190 and 255 wallys. I dont have the extra 200$ for the afpr, and I am...
