where can i get cheap strut bars? particularly the rear one...kinda hard to find...

the vr-4 is easily the better option. its not been hooked up so the driver probably wasnt as rough on the motor, the price is insane, and awd over fwd any day.now if it were vr-4 vs gsx...that would be a different story

ok i was taking my girl home the other night and the coolant, battery, and brake light all came on for no apparent reasons, and im now afraid my already shitty dsm is just gonna blow up. ive tried unhooking the battery, ive checked all fluid levels, i have no idea what the problem could be. help...

http://www.optauto.com/webstore/product_list.asp?dept=259&last=259a few different options, ones a little 4 point, and i think theres a 13 point in there too hahaha

the at ecu and mt ecu are the same...the at has a tcu as wellon the subject of plug wires...whats the best wire for a 1.8? im not gonna go dumb and push crazy power out of this runt, i just want a reliable 'performance' wire

why not just get a nitrous sprayer for your intercooler and run co2 in that

bobblehead + 12mm on the end got mine out, should do yours too

so compression is the crucial thing here?the paints a little faded but theres no rust.

its a maroon 91 tsi awd and it needs a new clutch but the tranny is brand new (id have to put that in) im gettin it from a friend who bought it from some old lady like two weeks ago and she was the 1st owner, so the 140k on the engine isnt scaring me off too bad is 1000 a good deal?

sounds to me like youre set.

400 grit wetsand the hell out of itme and my buddy just primed his nx2000 like so, and it looks like a damn gray paintjob instead of primer gotta get ready to put that 350Z red on there

the only way i know that exhausts could be illegal could be from either not passing emissions or violating noise ordinance

the way i see it is the lag from the fmic is worth the cooler air, plus the fmic will be VERY useful later when it comes time to get a bigger turbo and crank the boost

i just used black high temp painti think its made by like dupli-color or something?but if you use it, paint the manifold, then put it on like an hour later and drive around for like an hourdo it before you go cruise or somethin

i think lexus might make it, they had that one guy from lexus in it helpin out, i think they just wanted somebody to do it on a tv show to get exposure before they release it? idk...it would be a wet dream if they really did release something like that.

ohhh mannnn wait until i get my hands on a digital camera you guys will bust a NUT over my miata. it looks great. a little bit ricey, but great.

anyone see rides tonight? they swapped a v8 into an is300, its soooo baaadif you saw it, what do you think?

cf definitely looks good on a black car, i dont see why youd want otherwise

spraypaint worked well enough for me

you shouldnt really notice a power difference with just a uicp and a new bov...it should be a little louder thoughthe uicp and the bov will be of great help when you start crankin the boost up

i actually think the 20g is one of the best high-power-but-still-street-driven fwd turbos, but idk about spooling in 2nd gear, he must shift at like 3000 in 1st or somethingi dont understand why awd launch is crucial on a 20g though because wheelspin isnt such an issue on such a laggy turbo...

ive heard better things about the greddy, but then again you cant always trust hearsay

agreed, boostin a gsr will prob give you more probs than your dsm, and you wouldnt be nearly as fast either

those really arent problems at alljust get a bigger turbo and a 2g mani :)

sounds like a good deal, looks pretty good too

use the 90, give the girl the 2gthe 90 has the 6 bolt flywheel which can hold more power than the 2g 7blotsplus i think 2gs are a little girlier than 1gs

the 140 is for n/a, stock turbo 2g is 210but the 1g tdo5 14b has a lot more potential than the puny 2g t25. if you want to daily the 2g but add just a little more power, i say 14b it.

i just found a tiny rust spot near my back wheel...i think i curbed it or something and yeah...:(

90, 91, and early 92they have the 6 bolt engine, which is hailed to be more durable than the 7 bolt

basically just treat a n/a dsm like any other used car

i dont understand what a 4gcs is

i lose about a quart every 3000

the 2g engines are similar at best, and the 1g are almost identical with the exception of difference in compressionthe 1g 1.8 is a different story, but the best i can tell you is thar although it is really reliable, it sucks powerwise

315 hp??? DAMNyes lets get a 1.8 forum up in this piecepretty please?!

its simpleplacebo -- you pay alot and you think its doin a really good job ;)my whistler has treated me GREAT

actually cyclone, what you said is keyreplace gaskets, check belts, replace plugs and wires, degrease the block, change engine oil, change tranny/transfer case oil

great deal...you practically stole it :)

-k&n -3" exhaust, 2.5" if youre not planning on doing too much -fmic for later power and just cause it looks cool ;) -boost control -bigger turbo -bigger injectors and fuel pump -tuning stuff...safc or something to that extentif you decide to get a bov make sure you get something that...

the 20g is actually a really good fwd turbo because it keeps wheelspin low off the launch cause it hits boost at such high rpmsif youre looking for a good higher power setup, 20g all the way

i believe the 13g is a td05, and if it is an auto, then yes it is a 13g

if you want reliability, i would (sadly) say the si over the dsm

could you just cut your existing hose in half and use it with the fuel filter catchcan setup?

just buy a 6 bolt 4g63 an evo III 16g turbo and run 19psi(like the evo8)good enough of a race engine? id think so.

just go the speed limit, with winter temps overheating shouldnt be toooo much of a problem, but things can happen

if im not wrong isnt it?1gFWD 13g 1gAWD 14b 2gFWD t25 2gAWD t25

the tricked out impala/caddy/whatever will live foreverit will ALWAYS be coolespecially old impalas on switches...mmmm

ditch the 13g for a 14b, maybe a 16g if you cant find a steal on the 14get better air flow (intake exhaust) and a MBCthat should do it, actuallyyou might want a shifter kit or somethin like that, and youll want to practice launchin an AT with two feet

thats a huge turbo...i say buy it and build up, but only if you wanna make your car mainly weekend, almost even more drag than weekendyoull need huge injectors, at LEAST 650, and a pimp fuel pump...probly want an afc as well

i hate dsms.:cry:
