Yeah, people still do this. I'm going to try to be there this time too.

My Question is where do you connect an engine stand up too on our motors? I have pulled my engine from my gsx because I spun a rod bearing am need to have the crank resurfaced. I borrowed an engine hoist from a friend to pull it, but he needs it back so I got an engine stand from autozone. I...

Sounds cool, I should be able to make it... so long as my clutch works after putting it in this weekend. lol

When I spun a rod bearing on my GSX it was after I had a 16G with all stock fuel system as well.... wonder if that is the cause... too much air and not enough fuel...

As I said before, I'm down :)

Exactly what everyone else said also. It is a combo of pushing the clip in, wiggling, and pulling.... depending on how long it's been it could have a lot of grime stuck in it.

It should just unclip and off... there is one that is held on by a nut, then the other is a clip. Kinda similar to what is used for the coolant temp sensor.

I should be making it as well.

Just checked the weather again and now it has changed to 30% chance of PM showers.... with the exception of Prescott which is supposed to rain/snow on and off all day.

Ok, cool with me. I know it was 40% but as soon as we get up in the mountains that turns from rain to snow so I wasn't sure how everyone felt about it.JB

I just checked the weather and it is supposed to rain this weekend... Is the cruise going to be postponed or go even with the rain?

As I have said, I did not like mine. I had 50 miles on the first one when I was told it would not disengage by a shop that rebuilt my tranny (although my opinion of that shop is not verry high because they never fixed my tranny), so I gave them another one to replace it with while the tranny...

I launched mine once, the week it broke. When I launched it, it did nothing but slip also :notgood:

Curious about this also, I know my FWD seems to have a longer 5th than my AWD... My AWD is at aprox 4000rpm at 80 and the FWD is at like 3500 I think...Who knows.

Just thought I would update my opinion on this clutch. I had aproximately 600 miles on it and while driving the other night the spring popped back out. :mad: This is the second spec clutch I had, the first I was told was defective by a local shop who worked on my tranny, so I got another to...

^ :thumb: Very useful information. I just thought I would include this because I found some of the images help me understand these write ups better. Differentials

I had bought the ones from slowboy and after installing them my car would overheat. I replaced those with these F-A-L fans and it fixed the overheating. My fans have the seperate control box also. You can buy the universal ones that do not have the controller for like 100 bux cheaper I think...

Summit racing has those same fans for $365. That is where I got mine and I love them. Cool way better than the no name slim line's I had. JB

I did that one too, Drained a Full tank of gas to the street in my Apartment, I was showing my dad and noticed a strong gas smell and looked underneath to see what happened. I found a large darkspot where it had been draining to and evaporated. Glad no one was smoking near it. When I went to...

Ok, I was wiring my Flex-a-lite fans and when I was looking for a wire that was only live while the car was on I was checking wires. I pulled the fuse on one wire and then came back a few minutes later and forgot I pulled the fuse. I ended up using that wire and when I first hooked it up it...

This is what I did and it worked, although I have switched to a Flex-a-lite fan set up that cools alot better because I was still overheating. I do have to say that I like these fans better because they have the shroud and the control box that allows the temp to be set to turn on. JB

Good, I didn't want to have to spend another 100 on those, plus I need them ASAP. That makes me happy :thumb: (well at leaste as happy as I can be with a blown HG lol) Thanks, JB

I was wondering if it is a must to replace my ARP headstuds if I replace my headgasket? They have been on the car for about 10 months, but unfortunately I used the OEM Head Gasket and now that is shot. I am about to replace the HG and wanted to know if I would be able to re-use my ARP's...

I know the master and the slave are ok, I bled it till there was no air coming out and then some...... I did not see anything that could be in the way of the cables. How do I determine if the synchros are bad? The reason I wonder if it is something like that is because the only gear it gets...

Ok, I just drove it again and I looked at the cables. The cables appear to be good, although I don't know what to really look for. I did have the problem with it not going into second also, and it was getting stuck in first. What could it be????? I really don't wanna have to pull the...

Well, I know those clips are on. I just finished putting the tranny back in and specifically remember making sure of that. I am thinking of doing the rollerblade bearing mod for the shifter cable. I am also going to pull the center console and check the cables under there. Thanks for the...

OK, I just got my tranny back in and my car running. I took it for a test drive and it doesn't go into second sometimes. It is like it is not even there. It did this before I pulled it too, but I was hoping it would be fixed with the new shift fork, fulcrum ball, and clutch. I need some help...

I just got mine in today, I have a few other problems to take care of now. The test drive I took felt good though. Grabbed good, and pedal pressure was not too bad at all. I have the stage 2 with a Fidanza. Hope this is usefull, JB

The tranny is out and I am not putting it back in until that bolt is out lol. I am just hoping it will be easy, and I can do it myself in like 5 min, but then I will wake up and realize that will never happen with my DSM. :mad: oh well, it's a learning experience. :| Thanks, JBDoes...

Thats what I am hoping will work, I went to autozone and bought one of those extendy things with the magnet on the end. I am really hoping I will be able to find it, I have never opened a trans before and really don't want to right now. Thanks, JB

thats what I was going to try, but there is not much room from the speedo side, i just hope it made it's way to the bottom and can go through the drain plug. *fingers crossed* Thanks, JB

OK, I think I may have a problem. I was pulling my tranny and when I took out the speedo sensor the small 10mm bolt fell into the hole that the speedo sensor goes in..... I know I should have been more careful. Does anyone know an easy way to get this out? I don't know what I need to do to...

One question, did you wire the AC fan this way also? I was wondering b/c I might want to wire it so the AC fan comes on also. Right now I have a switch turn the ac fan also. I don't know if I will need that with the slimline, but I sure do with the stock ones. Thanks, JB

Sorry I didn't get these pics earlier, but today was a hectic day. Hope these help, let me know if there are any more Q's. JB

Yeah, I will try to take a couple pics of it tomorrow to show what I am describing. I'll try to describe in words for the time being though. It is a bracket that holds the throttle cable and is mounted to the intake manifold. It is two 10 or 12mm bolts that bolt it to the manifold. If you...

I had this problem and lived with it for like a year before getting it fixed. I had the dealer look at it after I ran out of ideas, and they did not know either(who would have though lol) but it ended up being the throttle cable. I had adjusted it before and the dealer adjusted it. I went in...

I think I would still cry..... not b/c of the crank walk, but b/c I have already spent my "when shit happens" savings lol ROFL Otherwise I would be happy to build a new motor and swap it in :thumb: JB

I had to take out my cat, b/c it was welded to the stock dp and my 3" catback. So while I am waiting on my parts to put it all together I have been running an open stock dp and I do not really see any boost creep. I am running 20 psi though, so that may be why I don't see it. Hope the info...

I replaced my waterpump 13,000 miles ago when I rebuilt my bottom end, so I would assume it is working correctly. JB

I have noticed mine is doing the same thing. I did the fan switch that is listed on the vfaq.com and it turns both my radiator fan and ac fan on high when I switch the fan on. My car was not completely overheating, according to my logger the temp was 222 deg. After turning on the fans with the...

I know I need to match my parts like stated before, but I was wondering what would be the effects of having 272's with an EVOIII16G. I want to get cams(not for a while due to $) but I was thinking of getting 272's. I have the EVOIIIG right now but want to go bigger later, thats why I was...

OK, thats cool, it will proboly be a while for me too. JB

Can you share the details on how to make it, I am interested in doing this in the furure. Thanks, JB

I have had my tranny out twice since this problem began and the disc/pp looked ok, but I keep wondering if that is what is causing this.... One day when I hace the money I will buy a new one and find out. JB

I may also be interested in purchacing one if you are interested in selling them.

I don't have any pics right now, but mine is similar to the one above. I used the j-pipe that comes in the 2g install kit from slowboy, I don't know if it the one intended for FMIC(don't think it is). I cut my j-pipe to make it shorter, then used the 2.25" pipe that went from the j-pipe to the...

I have replaced the master and slave cylenders, and put the ss line on. I have also bled it countless times. I have a gst that I have compared the adjuments to also. I am not sure what else it could be unless my clutch pedal assebly is defective, or the pressure plate or flywheel is...
