    Street Build 1G Build: Return of the DSMer!

    Looks like your car begin to have a lots of potential. I think that i'm jealous of your build. Really like the way your car turns since the beginning. The rpf1 are bad ass and the stance of your wheel is top notch! Maybe with a new paint...;) And do you like your zestino tire?

    Overheating slightly on highway ONLY

    Before ducting, due to my overheating problem at the track, my initial plan was to put an aluminum rad and 2 flex-a-lite fan behing the rad, because i know when they're placed in front, they become restrictive when in movement.BUT: After some research, i decide to go the ''cheap way'' and put...

    Overheating slightly on highway ONLY

    Also I'm thinking my ecu temp sensor may be reading off. What temp are the stock radiator fans supposed to come on at? My temp seems to be at 209 when they come on. ( Running stock fan control and sensor/switch)Mine come at 194 ? Very high compare to mine.

    Overheating slightly on highway ONLY

    Maybe you need some ducting between your rad and your fmic to improve your airflow to the rad.I had similar problem, except when on the track, i wasn't able to do more than 3 laps before overheating. My temp was around 200 on cruising before ducting, and now it's around 176 (datalogger) and i...

    Resolved Misbehaving ISC

    I had hard times to adjust my idle even with a new isc motor, until i disconnected my coolant hoses in the throttle body (my summer car since 2006) and put the fiav block off plates:https://www.rtmracing.com/xcart/product.php?productid=18576Idle is rock solid now! No surge or stall anymore.

    Is your heat soaking is that bad? If not, heat shield and exhaust wrap are good friends.

    2G Is she done ? Parking lot accident..

    Yes it's fixable, but: Just to give you an idea; Two years ago I've just hit a dear with my VW jetta (1 front fender, 1 light, 1 hood, no rad or intercooler damage,no frame damage, no sterring components damage). That cost $4000 (in canadian), i'm almost sure that your's will be more expensive...
