Summer '09 is almost here! I can't wait until this project is done. Again, I show up to this forum every few months just to see if this has any progress.As always, good luck with this! I really can't wait to see it. :)
Oh that's another problem. The glovebox was "stuck" locked, so I disassembled the entire glove box to get my stuff back out. I have not yet put it back in- it has also been nearly a year. Who needs storage? Besides, I can get to all of the weird rods, flaps, doors, and other a/c knicknacks...
Ohh yeah, I have. Once, I laid 16 layers of glass in a 50' cigarette boat mold. I also made a custom dash for a 54' Wellcraft, the same boat from Miami Vice out of fiberglass.So yeah, I have a bit of experience. I haven't ever dealt with anything extremely heavy at all.
This thread has become the ONLY reason that I have to log into DSMTuners anymore. I can't wait to see this guy's finished product.With that said- any updates? -Any recent pictures? Anything at all? It has been a looong time. I hope the car is still okay after all of this time. :pI'll be...
Do NOT powdercoat the block.Powdercoating is a baked on skin of paint which contains heat very well. Your engine will run hotter and cool slower. Bad idea.
Thanks for most of these answers. I figured someone HAD to make a rattle can with our OEM colors and it was simply a paint comparable to factory which would be fine to use on door handles, but I am coming to learn that it's not that easy.I brought the replacement door handle to a body shop...
bastarddsm had a point about the urethane and durability of a rattle can product, so I just brought it to a local place. It should actually be finished tomorrow.Thanks a lot, guys. :thumb:
Well, I mean, if they make an OEM paint in a rattle can the results can be just as grand as a paint shop. After all, it is all in the prep work. There isn't hardly any work in painting the door handle. It would require a sanding, few layers of paint, a wet sand, then a buff. There. Done.
I have...
Guys,Ran a search but for some reason, the search function for this site is next to useless. Why it can't decipher the words I put in is beyond me.Anyway, I need to know if there is anywhere to buy a rattle can OEM paint. I have some door handles (which are only made in black from...
Ok guys, it's that time of the year when it's hot as all hell. The humidity is murdering me. I decided to go ahead and fix my blasted a/c system. It had everything wrong from a bad compressor to leaky hoses. Well... I replaced the compressor with a working unit... but now I face another problem...
What? His decision to go with a 16g turbo is a fine dandy idea and will work just fine with his stock injectors and management system. Unless he slaps a boost controller on there, then... well, yeah, I could see your post making sense.
Thanks, I was taking care of the boost leak test the time I found it. I'll be finished tomorrow with the details on what exactly is wrong (hopefully). I'll also have my new a/c compressor in my hands- I have ran the car for nearly 4 years without one- and we'll see if the harness works.I'll...
Guys,I have had this harness unplugged for awhile. Can anyone tell me where it goes? I have my a/c compressor removed for the time being, would that be where it plugs into? Here's some pics to help describe exactly what I'm asking:<a...
Sandblasting is great to clean up the parts, but it's definitely not intended to stay that way. With aluminum, it becomes bare and seems to absorb anything like grease, water, etc... and the only way to get it clean again would be to sandblast it once more. Any steel that is sandblasted should...
Soda pop destroys your skeletal system resulting is osteoporosis later in life. The body has no idea how to digest carbonation, therefore taking calcium from the bones to "kill the little bubbles".All I drink is water, about a gallon per day.
Forget the car- go to college. The eclipse won't be worth shit in a few years whilst your education... well, the sky is the limit.Save the money for college. Save OTHER funds for the car.You'll regret it later if you don't.
Anyone ever see the ultra rare 3.0 litre 4 cylinder turbo Porsche 968? Sorry if you want one- only 15 total were produced for Europe only.Here's a random video of some guy revving one.<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie"...
Yeah... $150 isn't that great of a deal. If I were to sell mine, I would sell it for like $90 or something. It's really not worth much more than that... maybe $100 for a damn good one.Anyway, you can use your current water and oil lines from the T-25 on the 14b, you just need to bend them a...
I did a search, as usual, but have come up with nothing (alongside the search not recognizing 1st, 2nd, or '7' or '6'...whatever)Anyway, my dilemma has been alive and well for a few months now. Since I let my roommate borrow my car, it has been slowly giving me sure signs of engine wear...
Give me a break- you're making this entire thread ridiculous. I didn't directly call anyone out.The only reason I posted because my car was involved. You, on the other hand, have to create some type of homosexual indirect "joke".I did not talk down on the site. I love this site, it's...
This is Hangout- there shouldn't be even a reason to post this video. I posted it because 'why not'?I posted it to see the reaction, but I can surely say this was a surprise. Most of you are assholes.
Wow- you guys are unbelievable. This thread proves this entire website is "immature". I'm a PCA and Rennlist member and I can say that I choose the Porsche community definitely over the DSM just because of the maturity level.This was for fun. Entirely. My girlfriend and I have fun together...

Whatever the case- I support what you're doing and with gas prices at a record high, you will have this car pay for itself in a month with that kind of great mileage!Go for it!Sell the VW body???
I don't even understand WHY the iphone has wireless internet capabilities through the phone service. Apple did not make it into a 3G phone, which means it will only use the EDGE network. Using the EDGE network means slow loads just a bit faster than dial-up connections. That sucks. My stupid...
My passenger side door handle randomly stopped working today. You can pull it up as you normally would be able to, but it just doesn't "pop" the door open anymore. A little strange... is this a common problem as well as the door handles breaking off? Perhaps there is something out of adjustment...
