How is the turnout compared to years past. I was there yesterday for my first time and would have thought more vendors would be there.

I would take it as not having a built motor then. But, if you take a flashlight and shinedown the spark plug holes you should be able to see a shiny piston. If it's not shiny it's not built, walk away as he coulda lied about a lot or stuff, or lower the price.

So why not buy a 1g to a 2g Maf plug? Seems pretty easy to me.

You have to remove the black trim thing around the cluster. Then remove cluster and open it up and remove overlay stickers not sure about the adhesive that will likely be left behind.You may consider replacing the whole cluster itself.Should only need a screwdriver to get cluster out of car.

You may be better off calling them up and asking. Also try eBay, a local forum, and maybe some local junkyards.Some people may also call it a propeller shaft Iirc.

I have never seen any proven facts that it shortens life, but you may have issues with leaking coolant depending on how you block them off.

Either post pics or the serial numbers off of it. Is it a tdo5 compressor cover?

Should not have any problems, why are you considering this?

You have to have really flat surfaces for a metal hg to seal.

Have you tried going to a carquest and having them look it up? I know they make color matched spray paint. I thing the r48 looks closer from 91 eclipse. I have the same color as you so it would be nice to figure this out, as mine color tag by engine is gone.

I think there is an adapter that will allow you to. Would have to check it out on one of the vendors sites.

Car with a bad battery shouldn't run worse when you remove jumper cables as it's now running off the alternator.

Did you try adjusting the master cylinder? Sometimes a clutch will slip if the master is not set right.

3000gts do not have 20gs. They are a smaller turbo the 9b iirc.

Way to many scammers out there to gift money these days. The only way I consider it is on the link boards, that's only because they are mostly straight shooters and can't sign up for free there.

So it's externally gated then?

Don't do it... There is no reason they need your credit card.

Does it look like this? I know extremepsi sells replacement springs.

I think there is too much red in it and could've been bigger patches.

Does it go in fifth? Shifter linkage is tight and not missing clips?

Turbo the 420a there use to be an actual kit that a company sold. Still going to cost atleast a 1000 to 1500 for something that works, looks good, and is reliable.

Boost leak test?

You should have the factory one on the firewall and you should be good.

What do you have for mods your profile doesn't say anything. It's likely you have a wastegate issue or missing vacuum lines altogether to run 38psi like that.

+2 for devin and also the guys at strictly. I didn't even know people with dsm's still considered ams anymore, I though that was strictly a gtr shop now.

Im thinking thats where his house is located and doesn't want it blown up.what is wrong with how your fuel rail is mounted?

I would probably scoop it up my 1g fwd was awesome never left me stranded, good gas mileage and fun to drive.

There is no leaks as in exhaust or boost?

Why do you have the fuel pressure so high?

I'm not sure it's worth trying to help him anymore. This is the reason why dsm's have a bad rap.You should open the tank replace the pump and filter sock as all that crud has gone through the pump to get to the filter. Fix the line properly, stop saying seafoam did anything to your car...

Whatever the problem is sea-foam did not cause it you did. It doesn't put it self into your car it needs help. if you are going to look for a blocked fuel line I would start by checking for fuel in the rail, If there is none then I would open up the tank and check the fuel pump sock-filter...

I'm assuming it's one of the 17mm iirc on the top of the subframe?Those are a real pita if you have an oxy torch that would be the best, if you can get to it to torch of head and remove remainder of said bolt out of car.

I don't think it would, but why not buy the proper parts?

Aren't parts really hard to find for these? I have heard a lot of people say they are less reliable than a Dsm. Gl with the car.

You could contact strictly modified in schaumberg or boostin performance, I can't remember where he's at but I'm sure they both could hook you up with some stock pipes. They are both pretty close to you.

It shouldn't take more than 4 hours to install the fmic easily doable on a weekend. I just installed my vrsf kit tonight in about 3 hours. The car did already have a fmic so I didn't have to cut the core support so that saved time. I have a stock smic setup I would sell as well pm me if...

I would say you did alright on that deal!!

Do they both have black front bumpers?

I wouldnt worry about it it's just an f-body..jk

I thought these were both the same kits just reboxed? Atleast it looks like that for a 1g.I guess I will find out tomorrow when I receive mine from vrsf.

Why would you pay him without getting the title?

So a talon with a eclipse bumper? I never understood that, looks like shit.

I looked him up and he hasn't been on since 1-26-12 which is quite weird as he is a wiseman.

I paid 1k for my most recent dsm with a fmic, built bottom end, evo 16g, suspension,wheels, and a stack of 50 receipts with it and all it needed was a trans and slave. So for 1500 I had a 1g with let's say 300 whp. I see notch fox's rollers for 1200-1500 all the time atleast 1 every 2 weeks...

I personally have been messing with these cars for about 9 years now, and before dsm's I had an 87 iroc wouldn't trade a thing in the world to go back. I think 3rd gen f-body's are a waste I would pick up a notch 5.0 before one of those.

I have always taken them out from the top, and if there stuck I grab a large pliers and grip onto the black part of the axle in your first pic and put the bar between pliers and trans pops out every time on the first try. Never had an issue with just taking out the whole intermediate shaft and...

I wouldn't pay over 600 the body looks rough, not to mention the head problem or whatever it has going on. Sounds like a 16 year old drove the hell outta it and its broke now and time to sell it.

That Evo 1g is hideous IMHO I don't think just a rear bumper would look good. The body lines would be iffy looking I think.

Have you tried blowing it out with an compressed air ex. Air compressor or dust off?
