After I stripped mine I just drilled those mothers out. Good luck removing the bracket before the lights, it won't be easy and may not even be possible without tearing apart the intercooler ducting.Just drill the lights out and leave them out, better for intercooler flow anyways.
I could be wrong but I do not believe the evob16g has creep issues. 3inch is not overkill, the less backpressure you have the better.To be safe, have the 34mm flapper installed and get that thing ported.
My cooling fan has not been coming on (overheating at idle) and I was just wondering if when I turn the AC on, are both fans supposed to come on? I think my cooling fan is dead.
The cheapest bars are not always the best. I know the flat bars tend to flex more then the round ones. The bars are usually made out of one of three things, alluminum, steel, and ceramic. The ceramic ones flex a lot, the aliminum and steel ones are pretty good. I prefer aliminum myself. The...
I have had a passport 8500 for about 6 months. I pad $280 for it. It's nice cause you can turn of certain bands (x radar) and you can also detect up to 9 different radars at once which is useful in the city. It has good range and not that many false alarms, except in shopping centers. It's...
Oil changes are importiant. Drive the car, hear a whistle? That's a boost leak. Does he use a turbo timer? If he does the turbo is probably in better shape. Make sure the clutch is in good condition.-Jagr
I just installed an autometer boost gauge, and have interesting results. When I floor it i get 9psi, which is sort of low, prolly have a leak, but still not horribly low or anything. After a few mins, no matter how hard I floor it I get 0 boost. When at idle i get 15vac, then i floor it and...
I've searched everwhere for this answer, and haven't found it, sorry if it is a repeat thread.How much boost psi should I expect if I have a stock setup (well, aircan hacked and maf hacked but that shouldn't matter). If I have a signifigant amout less then that, does that suggest a boost...
I'm 6 months into owning my first car, a '91 tsi awd. I love it. It was a little difficult to learn stick at first, but with time it is a piece of cake. One mistake i made was taking a run at 50 that i should have taken at 30 and put her into a telephone pole in my first week of driving her...
When it is warm outside (80+) my car runs weak. When it is cold it roars like a lion. Is there usually that big a difference in how a car runs with colder (denser) air vs hot (thiner) air?-Jagr
It could be a faulty battery, those things do get dropped. It could be dirty batter cable connections.If it is your computer (i don't know how it could be) then a new one will run you about 100 bucks. You will need one that matches your car. A new one from mitsubishi is like 1100 bucks...

I had this problem too. Thing is, it happened to be my own stupidity that caused it. You see, i had more coolent in the resivor then it could hold, in the morning, when it is cold outside, and on a cold engine, look at the coolent level, is it at the max line? Now, drive your car till it is...
Checked the battery connections, they look great. No apparent corosion, not loose, still i might get a brush from autozone and clean them.There was a wingnut on one of them hitting the hood, had melted a small hole in it, but i tried starting the car with the hood up and no success, even so...
After driving my car for the second time after replacing the ecu caps, the same clicking, bootguague needle spiking, fuel pump resetting, action happens. One of the caps WAS leaking, bad, and there was a little board damage. Is my board shot, could it be the alternator? If it could be the...
You sure about no warning lights?If your ecu caps are leaking then your ecu may reset (oftin a few times in quick sucession), when it resets it resets the fuel pump too, this can give a kick so hard that unless you have a seatbelt on your head hits the winshield.If the check engine light...
It is all about the weight placement in the car. The heavest part of the car is the driver side front, so if you move the battery to the passenger rear, the weight placement and therefor handling will be much better.
My tempreture gague goes to about halfway, but the coolent boils out of the resivor. Is it a faulty thermostat, and if so, why does the enginetemp not show as higher on the guague?-Jagr

Ok, so, my car has adequate coolent, fan works, car is actually overheating, coolent is boiling. I know this could be from several things, what are the most common reasons that a 1gdsm will overheat?-Jagr Jones
My car is overheating, coolent is boiling. Are both the fans supposed to run at once? One of mine (driver side fan) dosen't run when the other one does, any suggestions?-Jagr
On the resivor cap there are 2 hoses, the one that goes from the radiator filler neck is there, but the other one is gone. Where is the other point at which it connects, and how do i get to that point?NOTE: On hot days coolent leaks like heck.-Jagr
