Very good idea with the tp i will try it tom. Thanks!

I would check on a different size for that amount of $. Or a different brand.

Good to find out it was only the filter! Mine went tick tick tick very loudly and lost power and died. So i am rebuilding!

It maybe an imobilizer like dealers use.

The proper way is to take it a dealer or shop just as ec17pse said.

Looks like he maybe over reved it. Like a missed shift or something. But yes that would def. stop the engine from rotating! WOW!

MY1GDSM can help you with your ecu and tunning needs. Also look at this link http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/tuning-engine-management/338754-first-flashed-dsm-ecu-98-99-flashing-faq.html

very nice setup and good luck with the record!

First issue is probably balance shaft miss alignment.

Let us know how that turns out. I am going to try to find a 62trim or bigger and run my secret fuel(e-85). Shooting for 500awhp myself.

I have a 98gsx ecu and i am goinig to have some one tune it for me off of open source.

My vote is battery and or starter. And if your battery dips lower than 11.3 volts when starting its bad.

Nice I just orderd a harness conversion.

I am going to paint black and add a red lip to them. I have just bought a 1g tsi awd so i will be going all out on it.

So almost ready to drop motor into my car. Waiting on T-belt and water pump.

I love it thats another idea for me since my car is down.

Very nice gauge ideas i have a pillar gauge pod and the gauge cluster pod from glow shift. But the air vent mounted ones look awesome.

So my car just made a strange ticking noise at the bottom end. And has no power, so i have plenty of time to figure out what to do.

Thinking about adding a hint of red splash also

So it rained all weekend, hopefully this weekend it will be nice.

Very nice rims! Makes a 1g pretty

97turbo4g63 nice rims! If it doesn't rain this weekend i' going to do my rims.

That wrapped wheel is sweet!

Hydro dip it's a process where you spread a sheet of paint over water. Then apply chemicals to release it. then you dip product in it. Youtube it.

Thanks everyone for your answers. I will post pics when i'm done. I think i will hydro dip and clear coat. And if that does not hold up powder coat.

Ok so know i'm not sure which to do. maybe i'll try both.:hmm:

Plasti dip

I will probably go powder coat for duarabilty. Just wanted to know b/c a guy at work could dip them. But if it won't last it's not worth it.

Points well taken.

Ok i was just wondering if it would last bc they hydrodip guns. But yes i do alot of gravel driving.

Should i powder coat black or dip carbon fiber? I have a red 2g with carbonfiber hood.:cool:
