So I have this short-circuit damaged 80GB Western Digital IDE HDD that I need an expert opinion on. I'd scrap this drive and just move on, but it has about 60GB worth of digital music on it and all of my important DSM files, including all my customized ROMs and definitions from when I ran the...

Is the owner a member here?Beautiful clean white 2Gb Eclipse with a high rise spoiler, can't tell for sure but looks like it's slightly lowered with stock chrome GST wheels. :thumb:I see you about 2 times a week, usually I'm coming down the off-ramp of I-79S in Star City about the same...

I've not seen much info on these, I think they're a fairly new offering for us. My searches here yielded no results, so I'm throwing this out there in hopes that someone can tell me more about them.The part that originally caught my eye was the initials used for the brand, but it appears...

Edited 2/28/11:I'm especially looking for a 97-98 TSi AWD 5 speed, but I'll consider any 2G turbo or spyder. I am not interested in a 420a.The price I will pay greatly depends on the vehicle, but can go as high as $7-8k for the right car. I'm not expecting perfection, but know that I won't...

There's been a lot of arguing lately and I just wanted to see what the majority thought. I'll leave my opinion out of it.I threw in a few extra options for fun and because I know there'll be the "I like this, but it wasn't a choice" posts if not.If I forgot something, just pick your...

So here's the story:I was traveling home to Morgantown WV from my in-laws farm on a rural road, -Rt 7 outside of Blacksville WV for anyone familiar with the area, with my almost 3 year old son in his car seat in the back. I was driving about 5 mph over the speed limit of 25, and began...

You know you want it. It's the reason you got into DSMs. It's the car you dream of every night while you sleep.But you better watch out for the NAAAWWSS tanks when the Asian gangbangers with Uzis show up.Here you go.

I have a mechanical 0-100psi autometer oil pressure gauge. I know, should've gone with electrical... blah blah blah.Anyways, the gauge comes with a long thin nylon tube and fittings for installing said tube onto the rear of the gauge, however I have no provisions for connecting the line to...

The other day I got a little urge and took off out of work with a little more aggression than usual. I redlined and shifted from 1st into 2nd and was climbing up the tach in 2nd when I heard a muffled but very distinct "pop" sound. I immediately jumped off the throttle, shifted to 3rd and felt...

I searched and couldn't find any info on this.I am looking at a few ebay intercooler cores currently and I plan to purchase one soon. I would go with the SSAC kit, however I've heard that everyone is sold out right now and that the price will be going up. I have no problem with the fact...

I'm looking for suggestions about my engine build. This is going to be sort of a long term project for me.I've torn down the 4G64 I got out of a rear-ended 03 Galant. It looks like it's in pristine condition, no signs of wear anywhere. BTW, had one hell of a fight with the crank sprocket...

Well it finally happened. The Talon left me stranded for the first time.I pulled out and started up the little hill by my house and the car began bucking wildly. The anti-lock brake light came on and there was a sharp clicking noise coming from the ECU area about every 3 seconds. I got to...

Found this a couple days ago, sorry if it's a repost.

I spent today installing my aftermarket stereo equipment. After I was done I had this problem. I know what I did wrong, -I didn't disconnect the battery before I disconnected / reconnected the power windows / door lock harnesses from the switches in the front doors. So now I have no power to...

I bought a Turbo XS MBC off of someone on ebay a while back and have been using it for about a month or so. Today I tried to adjust the controller down from the roughly 15psi I had been running it at to 13-14psi in order to eliminate the possibility of over running the stock fuel system if I hit...

First off, I searched for about an hour and a half for anything on this site about timing adjustments, using both regular and advanced searches. All I could find was stuff about timing adjustments made with DSMLink or other EPROM ECU only equipment. I don't have any logging or fuel adjustment...
