  1. Why i love aluminum (and other soft metals)

    No its full stainless, I have a few other polished pieces but in general most of my stuff is factory blue. I polished the top plate the bolt and the gas operating tube plunger on one of my A.K. 47's . It came out good. I plan to do the forward grip surround and maybe the vent for the gas...
  2. Why i love aluminum (and other soft metals)

    :D Yes it can shine.
  3. bronze, gold, gunmetal gst rims?

    I painted these a while back and they never got paid for/picked up. Its House of Kolor raydon bronze with HOK micro flake. The rim was dusty but you get the idea. I might put them on my car. They came out great the pics do the color NO justice.
  4. Oh no!! Anyone had this??

    I on the other hand COMPLETELY do not agree. The only belt I have had break was a boo boo back. The one I took off my 93 tsi had approx 25k on it and the belt was dry rotting and cracking. I have never had an issue with an "oem" or conti tech, strong,hks, or gates. I have never heard of top line...
  5. Help Installing Drift Bodykit

    To correctly install that body kit several key things need to happen. 1.Mock up the body kit, Take a pencil and mark the areas of overlap. Also mark the areas that are tight against the body or kit to panel connection point's. 2. Working with one panel at a time begin to remove the material on...
  6. My "new" 98 Eclipse

    _Speed sensor is a good place to start. Check you repair manual for the exact number but pull it out and test it. It wont cost you anything but a few moment's of you time. Is the check engine light on? _Headers would not cause your car to smoke unless you bought them used and they were or are...
  7. Evo X front bumper on 2g

    Personally I do not think it looks very good. I look at the front shots and then in my mind I turn the car to its side and then i suddenly want to :barf: . Its like darth vader in the front and kim kardashian in the back. The 2g body is very round, The Evo is more box like in shape. Square pegs...
  8. Noob in need of painting help

    I use an Ingersoll Rand compressor, It it a 60 gallon 5 hp,You do not need something that big or expensive, There are several company's that make them such as Powerhorse, Ingersoll Rand, Quincy, Northern Industrial, Porter cable, to name a few. As far as paint you have PPG, Dupont, Cross fire...
  9. Noob in need of painting help

    A quality paint job is judged on several key factors, 1.The quality of the repairs on sub straight or body panels 2. The quality of the preparation of the surface to be refinished, 3. The preparation of the chemicals. 4. The person holding the paint gun. <---most important 5. The quality...
  10. Can A EVO Muffler Fit

    Well I am sorry you guys have to get stopped by your states fine civil servants for your exhaust note. My buddy has an evo VIII so I went and bothered him to see his stock exhaust, Its not the smallest thing I have ever seen but it still appears that it may fit in your space. You may have run...
  11. Can A EVO Muffler Fit

    I thought California check's emissions annually? Any way any muffler can fit on anything with some pipe, hangar and a few beads of weld. Evo,Ferrari,Lambo, W/E muffler will fit. The fart cans they sell @ muffler shops sound like a clown farting on a snare drum. Most of them do I would spend a...
  12. would a turbo ecu work on a non turbo car

    No you can not use it. Our ecu also has a knock sensor wire and an additional wire for the Karmen Vortex. Our stock ecu's are sending a signal for a 450cc injector. It would severely over run your injectors capacity. There are probably several things I don't even know about that wont...
  13. would a turbo ecu work on a non turbo car

    Thats going to be a no... There are several differences between the pair. If you do a quick search you can pull several threads on the topic.. I might be mistaken but you have to change a few things to use the turbo ecu. I have personally never tried it so I cant be of much help in that area...
  14. help 1st gear is not working right

    Yes Improperly run or improperly capped lines can cause a few problems. As for the transmission. There are several things you want to look at. I would start by measuring the clutch pedal height and free play. If both are in spec stop there. If not adjust the pedal height and free play to spec...
  15. O2 sensor locations

    ....Thats only been the case since obd2 was phased into production back in the mid `90's. Where have you been man? ROFL
  16. In need of interior pieces, black or charcoal

    PJ I am interested In that stuff, I will throw you some cash either way. As for the seats I cant do 250 for a set. I found a local dude that is able to re cover all of them for about 350 out the door.
  17. In need of interior pieces, black or charcoal

    Hey guys, I am trying to change up the interior on my 93 tsi awd. Its currently a camel colored leather, tan carpet, sun visors,filler panels and a few other things. The drivers seat has a huge gash, passenger seat is cracking but still looks about 60%. The back seat has one burn very small but...

    There are numerous threads relating to your topic. Search the site and look @ the FAQ. :boring:
  19. Help motor install/break in

    So SAE is the engine installed yet? It has been a couple of days and I wanted to see if you have made any head way on your project. :hellyeah: post up some pics when your done with it. I always do enjoy when a tuner finishes and is all proud of what he/she has done. I personally like to see how...
  20. Help motor install/break in

    I have NEVER waited 500 miles to stomp on it. your point is valid 500 miles is much much to long a duration for a break in, All I basically said was don't go around blasting on it until its properly broken in. Why would I tell the kid to do the wrong thing.What if he goes and puts on a fat snail...
  21. Is this a good deal?

    In general thats not a horrid price for a running six bolt. If your intent is to just procure a donor engine to rip it into shreds and build a new one. The more economical choice is to find a non running long block, If it has a 10 day warranty or anything like that buy it for a few hundred bucks...
  22. Sweet revenge!

    Yeah and what they dont tell you is some times when people get revenge. They are messing with a psychopathic serial killer. When he gets tired of you messing with him he comes and slaughters your whole family. For a stupid ad on Craig's list. Some people dont care man I am telling you one day...
  23. Help motor install/break in

    Nothing will happen after 4k I just dont want to push a brand spanking new engine @ first. If it lets go it lets go. I guess I would rather have something happen @ low rpm than high rpm's. I am just anal and insist on being gentle for the first little bit just in case. There is no reason behind...
  24. A little confused

    If its too dark for him to look and see if it had a rear diff ,drive shaft, trans case etc, Why in gods name are you telling him to jack the whole car up and spin a wheel? ROFL take a flash light kneel down and shine the light on the rear end. If it has a trailing arm its not AWD if you see a...
  25. 2G 420A to Evo 8 Engine Swap?!

    NO :barf: ford and Chevy never collaborated with a foreign manufacturer to produce the mentioned cars. A mustang is a mustang and a camaro is a camaro. No matter what year they may be. ROFL maybe if fordsubishi and chevonda come into play its a different ball game.
  26. 2G 420A to Evo 8 Engine Swap?!

    Sorry to inform you but no 2g is a DSM its a physical impossibility. The collaboration dissolved in mid 94. ALL 2g were manufactured under Mitsubishi. I only have hate for people who mis inform others and go around saying things that are totally wrong and just stupid.
  27. Help motor install/break in

    Vipers and vetts have the engines bench tested and broken in from the factory, They don't use synthetic oil for break in.Guaranteed, my info comes from an old guy who has only been in the game for oh idk since the early 60's has seven ASE certi's to his name and dozens of other secondary...
  28. 2G 420A to Evo 8 Engine Swap?!

    Waste of time/money, Put that money into a 4g63 that falls right in. If this 97dsm character is so smart why did he fail to realize that a 2g is NOT a dsm, Never was never will be. If its so easy why dont you see them in vast numbers. Oh I forgot because our 4g63 can easily produce just as much...
  29. Help motor install/break in

    Bolt on stock equip for break in, disregard most of what was posed above me. You want to keep as much load off the engine as your possibly can. 5 to 8 psi on a 14b MAX for break in is what I practice. Engine breaking should be avoided if possible it makes the engine work harder during a critical...
  30. Sweet revenge!

    Exactly man, Its not worth your time at all. We all have or will deal with crap talking know it all people @ one point or another. I dont even respond to that crap, Its simply just not worth my time. Be true to yourself and have respect and you will go far in life young grass hopper. Respect...
  31. Sweet revenge!

    Why stoop to his level. By retaliating your no better than he is. He can assume you don't know anything and your car is a POS all he wants. Until he comes in your face making threats or physically harming you or your car don't worry about it, There are always nay sayers and common place idiots...
  32. welded center diff behavior...

    X I know I did not like my solid diff as a DD. Thats just me I am sure some people love it. I had a similar prob with mine. It turned out to be a combination of weight transfer and crap tires. Both factors were allowing the front passenger wheel to break loose under heavy acceleration and launch...
  33. I won the Austrailan Lottery!

    If its legit congrats. You have a better chance of getting hit by lightning nine times in one day than hitting the US power ball. I always thought that was a funny fact. One million bucks is not much by todays standards but if invested correctly it can allow you to live semi comfortable for a...
  34. Price expected for 1g AWD and other questions.

    Slightly under half of the 1g dsm cars received a six bolt from the factory. ;) I hope you already knew that six to seven bolt switch happened in mid to late June of 1992.
  35. Price expected for 1g AWD and other questions.

    I purchased my 93 for 700 with a six bolt swap. ALL it needed to pass MD inspection, We are four of fifth hardest in the nation mind you was an E.C.U. I bought a 90 awd for 350$ with 57k orig miles. Super clear inside,outside,under all I put in that was a fuel pump, plug wires,spark plugs and...
  36. Finally back in the game with a 1g AWD

    I hate red but MAN that thing is CLEANNNNNNNNNNNNNNN. How much are you going to spend on it?
  37. Honduh

    ROFL It takes a full three inch super bazooka exhaust to flow that uber sick 97 hp. ;)
  38. Looking for my old GSX (ME, NH, VT)

    Tim if you have the V.I.N you can find that car no matter where it is. Go to your local mva and take a number for tag and registration info. Take the vin to the person working and ask them for a print out, that will tell you where it is how long its been there how many people have owned it etc...
  39. My cf hood salvage..

    It does look fairly good for your first time. I do see one a few little things you could have done better but that just may be shadows or the camera. On the last pic of the finished product in the upper left hand corner. See that? Look also right after the hump , See that? From where I am...
  40. What Turbo is this? [Merged] Turbo ID Identification

    He bent you over and ran all the way to the bank. You can get a replica M.H.I big 16g on e bay for 220 shipped with everything needed to install. Its still crap either way there have been a few of them last a year or two when babied all the time. But in general the tolerances they hold those...
  41. tranny problem

    Gear oil has nothing to do with the speedo gear shaft. It lubricates the gear but thats about it. Either your tach on the cluster failed or the shaft has some how kinked or broken all together. As far as the supposed "gear oil" you can identify gear oil instantly due its viscosity. Its a lot...
  42. Help me make up my mind (exhaust)

    Neither go with tsudo ets series, Looks like that sounds like that but its AT LEAST 100 bones less than the megan. Oh and it does not neck down to the stock cat size or a 2.5 inch. It stay's a full three all the way, And it does not have that crazy super blaster can. That thing looks like an AT4...
  43. Hard day for me...

    I wish I could say I feel sorry for you, but I can not and will not. You are having a child with a person you love. Its out of your control my friend. The difference between a completely healthy child and a completely abnormal child is just a few chromosomes. The big man in the sky has a plan...
  44. Are OBX Racing Cam Gears Any Good??

    I also have heard both sides, I almost bought a set but I went with crower and a few other brands. In general I have heard more positive than negative about them. I think several of the guys who have them and say they suck just have no idea how to tune. That is the case with a lot of stuff. If...
  45. FNG passed up a tsi for agst

    Technically there are several "differences" between the Mitsubishi produced eclipse and the Daimler Chrysler produced talon. That ONLY refers to the "true" dsm's . ALL 2g's no matter talon or eclipse were produced under Mitsubishi. So technically the eclipse and talon are the exact same car with...
  46. What's a good beginner sports bike? [Merged 12-7]

    Yes stood up you have obviously never owned a high powered production sport bike. They can go up at ANY speed if coaxed correctly. Secondly The sales person @ the dealership said "180 WHP". Thats what i heard, everything is based off the info he gave me. ROFL "LOOK UP" pin point h/p figures...

    ROFL ROFL ROFL Defiant you always make me laugh, You failed to mention the vacation time. ;)
  48. Is this the right 'TSUDO N1" exhaust everyone is ordering!?

    Sorry about that, I was watching two screens @ the same time. I always get it to about 95% correct. But yes there are a few VERY high quality pieces w/o the hefty price tag. I have always been interested in production methodology and protocols. Its nice to know how and why they manufacture...
  49. What's a good beginner sports bike? [Merged 12-7]

    Um no my ninja 250 was DEF a two stroke. They still make them its by special order. Mine ws an older air cooled model I think it was a 1991 maybe 90 who knows that was years ago. And yes i am going to dig up some of my old slips it DEF ran low nines. If you had read I had over two grand in the...
  50. Is this the right 'TSUDO N1" exhaust everyone is ordering!?

    tsudo is NOT an apexi knock off, apexi N1 is a licensed trademark and patented design, tsudo took the same design changed it 13% to be legal and sold an equal/ better product minus the tens of millions of dollars wasted on advertisement. If your going to attack some 1 AT LEAST be aware of what...
