i want to spend around 300-400 dollars for my clutch...what is the best clutch to get in that price range? Also is a steel braided clutch line and slave extension rod worth buying?

im getting a BOV soon what is the best brand for the best price...ive read all the guides but want an opinion from someone who knows....i dont want one that vents air to the atmosphere....please leave any reviews or suggestions...thanks

I need to find out the carfax on a car. If someone can help me out they can email me at ****** . I will have the VIN # up as soon as possible. Let me know if you can help on here or by email. Thanks.

I got through my whole ticket situation but still need to pass smog. I blew a fuse the day before but fixed it, but when I tried to smog it they told me that the computers werent reading it and I needed to drive it more and that Mitsubishi's usually need 100 miles before the ECU is set. I...

I dont think they will be cool with the painting the pipe idea. I'm just going to put the stock one on...which I cant find right now so I might have to get one from the classifieds. I got the other stuff on the fix it ticket taken care of and have temp registration until the end of november...

Well I took it to another place and they told me that I was fine with the turbo and hed pass me if i took off my hard uicp. So Im gonna do that or find one that is carb legal for next time...if there is such a thing. So I'll pass next time after the uicp is switched out. I might have to get...

Well Im gonna take it to a different place to get it smogged. I need to get my registration done. Ive been pulled over for it 3 times in two weeks (2 in 3 days). Its ridiculous. My car looks stock exterior-wise, and the only noticable things when you look at the engine would be the boost...

I cant pass smog because my Evo III 16g. What should I do? They say they need a sticker. Everything else passes. Im in Cali by the way. Any ideas? I have to get it done by the 4th of October or Ill owe like 600 dollars!!!!!!

Sorry forgot to tell you guys I'm on my brother's account jibberish. This is evogst.

Well my compression didnt drop at all when I did put the lifters on, but I guess it could be worth a try. Would lifters cause it to make the sounds its making in the video? Also would it cause that much of a vacuum decrease?

I couldn't find anything on it. I mean its obvious that if its not CARB certified its illegal but all his stuff is other than maybe the hood because of no hood pins.Someday my friend....someday.His exhaust isnt that loud and he was only at 4krpms, the officer was just a deushe. My...

Modding might be out of the question. California is stupid. My friend with a 2004 RSX-S with intake, exhaust, and headers was pulled over because the car sounded loud at only 4k rpms (my exhaust is twice as loud). The cop searched his car and found aftermarket i/h/e and said the carbon fiber...

I didnt know lifters could cause bad vacuum. Also It doesn't sound like what I've been described to as lifter tick. Would it give the car the sound its making right now?Also on a sad note:modding might be out of the question. California is g_ay. My friend with a 2004 RSX-S with intake...

No Its my fault but not hitting the boost as soon will slow down my heavy foot :D I'm not worried about spool time as long as it isnt too laggy.SAFC so no can do. 650's or bust.Basically I've decided I want to get something like the 5031 or the 5031 itself. I'm down to just...

The 5031E does look very nice. Is boost creep an issue for this turbo or the 3431E? I forgot to mention in my original post that I really dont want to have to deal with boost creep (porting,external,etc).Right now I am leaning towards the 5031E.

Well I am planning on upgrading the fuel system very soon. I already have the rewired evo IX fuel pump to put in. I will be ordering 650's very soon after the turbo. I need a turbo just to drive my car. I just keep running into problems so its hard to do everything.My main reason for not...

Well after all the crap I've gone through with my car It looks like I'm gonna have to get a new and bigger turbo(was on E316G) (blown headgasket prob killed it). I've narrowed it down to two which I Like. The first is the Precision T & E SCM5027E...

Well I just shot out oil and white smoke out the back so I am thinking for some crazy reason my E316g may be in trouble. Im gonna take the manifold off and check the turbo. Anyone who has any other helpful info on my idle situation please chime in. I really need to drive.

Well I finished my head rebuild, compression is 175 across the board, no boost leaks when done from turbo, havent tried from the throttle body yet, my idle is high and bounces around from 800-1400 (surge), rumbles a lot at idle, and drives fine for the most part, have white smoke coming out the...

Never mind all is good now. Car will be running today.

Nothing local though...the nearest dealer is about 2 hours away. It looks like a pretty common bolt. Do you think they would have It at a local hardware store?If not does anyone know the number I could tell the dealership on the phone to see if they have it (its the bolts that torque...

Well Ive been doing a cylinder head job and finally got the timing belt and balance shaft belt on. So now Im down to torquing everything down. I started torquing one of the cam caps with an inch pound torque wrench (the book says to go to 168 inch pounds). I started turning and it got tight...

Was having too much trouble with It and finding problems that I shouldn't have so I took it to my mechanic and he is doing It for a small fee. I will finish the car tomorrow, run it with mineral oil for a few hundred miles, do a flush, put new coolant in, and then do an oil change. Hopefully...

I find it hard to get tired of the Evo III and I havent even got it close to It's full potential. I guess if you dont push it It could get boring. 50 trim would be nice but I dont know If I'd like the spool up time as much. It's up to you, I dont think youll get tired of the Evo unless you...

You can do that with a decent tune on the Evo III. Depends on what you are using the car for also. Is it your daily driver, if so I recommend the Evo III. At 16psi I was getting 21 miles to the gallon so Its nice on the mileage as well, plus It's quick and pulls hard to redline. The only...

What about oil? What kind should I use and how long should I use it for? (got the idea from the post a couple posts up).

Any logger and a palm will do. A wideband would come in handy as well.

I'll go work at it and IM you and let you know how its going.

Okay I understand, I was just getting worried about hitting a belt and I wasnt near one so I though I was in the wrong spot. LOLI still cannot see anything due to the lower timing cover and cannot find a way to get it off. Do I have to remove all the belts? Maybe I should rephrase my...

I didn't come close to a belt either which made me think I was doing it wrong but I think I'm doing it right because I am hitting a bracket. I wasn't able to work on the car today but will try tomorrow and see if I get back on track.

Quick question. When I put the tool/bolt in I hit a bracket not a belt. How can I gouge the belt if I can't hit it?

Its really difficult to do because I can't really see what I'm doing. I used the battery bolt and got it through the hole after removing the rubber plug. I'm confused on what the bolt does by turning it. Will it be in a hole when turning or directly on the belt? I understand how you loosen...

Ill try it. Thanks for the help. There are no other alternatives though?

No we didn't we. How do we get around this.

we have the timing belt lined up with the cam gears so we dont lose our timing, but we cant get the gears back on the cams, so we need to loosen the belt to get enough slack to put it on the cams.

We are putting the head back together and cant get the timing belt loose enough to line up with the camshafts. We never took the timing belt off and need to loosen it to continue the job. What should we do?

I just did a cylinder head job. How should I break in the engine? (Did Valve Job, Head Gasket, etc....no rings)

I have 3 inch exhaust, megan racing cat delete downpipe and it works like a charm. Good increase in power and isn't too loud. It's loud but not annoying or as loud as the ricer coffee cans. Depends on what muffler you get, but no cat will not be too much louder.

Thats what I was wondering as well. If you will be happy with high 12's in a 1/4 mile and mid 300 whp then thats most likely what you will get out of the Evo III if you buy all the supporting mods. I have the Evo III and personally am quite satisfied with it. I bought it from turbochargers.com...

Well I'm going with the copper spray. Studs will be here tomorrow. Hope to have the car done by Friday.

Quick question. If I use copper spray where exactly should I spray It? Both sides of the gasket? Just want to make sure if I use it I spray It in the right place. :coy:

Well I havent really found anyone who's had problems when using the copper spray so I think I am going to try it when I put the headgasket on. Wish me luck.

You guys are confusing me on what do when I put the headgasket on LOL. I had the head resurfaced to a mirror finish but am not sure now If I should use copper spray or not. I'm gonna do a search on it but was wondering If anyone has had problems from the copper spray itself?

Well I decided to buy once and never have to buy again getting the ARP headstuds and finally getting some new NGK sparkplugs. The head is in the shop and should be done Monday. Hopefully the headstuds are here by Tuesday and the car is completed by Wednesday. Thanks for all the help you guys...

I just wanted to have a stronger HG so I dont have to worry about blowing it. Im having a valve job done as well and the head resurfaced and then I will put the rest of the gaskets on and should have the car done by next Wednesday or so.

Anybody? I will be putting it all together tomorrow so opinions are appreciated about my previous post. Sorry for the double post, I just need some input before tomorrow.
