It looks pretty clean on the outside. Just check for shaft play in the turbo, compression test and all that good stuff while your there of course. Be VERY particular to any sounds you hear while driving and you`ll be golden. I liked the auto in my dsm before i sold it, beacuse theres no lift for...
ok everyone im putting my motor back together and i did a little research here on tuners about torquing the arp studs into the block for my head. i just want to make sure.....80ft/lbs (with the moly lube - recommended by arp of course) for the studs AND nuts right? ### the directions say to just...
Yea i personally like convertibles slammed in general. When the top is down it makes them look WAY lower then they really are, which is a really good look imo. My buddy has a `93 240 vert with Stance coilovers and you can barely get the first part of your foot under the car, but the stance of...
Yea check your gauge out first, thats the simplest thing to check out first. If that all checks out fine, then move on to the oil filter housing itself and check that out, i agree with bleedingsilver, check out your relief spring and the piston to see if either of them are stuck. But check out...
Your welcome JJ, now to only find a nice stock clean spyder like yours and ihearmyhonda`s spyder and im golden lol Oddly enough, i actually looked at some spyders for sale here locally right after i posted about your spyder JJ lol Im getting some ideas now lol
I agree, just tap it and call it a day. Theres no reason to go through getting your money back or exchanging it for another intake and even then you might get the wrong one again. A brass nipple can only be like a couple bucks if that from home depot and its really not that hard. Good luck to ya :)
Im liking that spyder too with the light bar and the 18`s. JJgrizz73, ive seen pics of your spyder around here on tuners and i must say sweet job with everything on it! :thumb: Yours was N/T before? Just did the 4g63 head on the 4g64 bottom end ? This REALLY makes me want to get a spyder now for...
Yea i got most of my torque specs out of the Chiltons manual and yes thats a great manual to have out in the garage. ( i call mine my "bible" lol) But If you get ARP bolts for all the mains and the head and stuff like that, those will usual come with a piece of paper telling you what ARP...
I agree, keep it simple and clean looking. I do think a drop top thats slammed looks pretty sick in my opinion. Maybe a Talon conversion might not be a bad idea actually. The roll bar is nice touch also!
Oh ok i didnt know there were bars in the hatch cover. Ill give that a try, thanx a lot. Im still thinking about seeing if i can flip my strut bar mounts and see if i can get some clearance that way. If not, ill try your way TSI. Thanx for the info!
Ive seatched around and didnt really find a definite answer, but i bought the privacy cover for the rear hatch but it doesnt clear my rear strut bar ( i bought one off ebay about 2years ago). Now i havent checked to see if i can flip the bar mounts over so that the cover can clear, but what...
I say keep doing what your doing bro, i personally like taking on projects like this and do everything i can by myself to save money but yours is turning out pretty damn good for being on a budget! And just think about it, its a weight reduction right off the bat by getting all that body filler...
I`m running an ebay intake pipe and yes it does push it to far to the fender. When ever i have to take my intake pipe out, i have to loosen up the air filer itself from the adaptor plate and kind of bring the intake pipe and the filter as two pieces but its really not that much of a hassle, i...
Nice Andy4g63, might have to replace my stock one for that overflow bottle you have. Mine sprung a leak and i got some marine grade epoxy on the bottom of it and it looks kind of crappy IMO. Thanx for posting that up thats a good idea. :thumb:
Thats some good advice there 05gt guru. I do agree with some of the engine builders out there dont take the time to double check stuff. Its ok to be anal about builds, i like to do that just to make sure and then check and recheck as many times as i need to to insure that im right on everything...
Yea im very surprised about that too myself, how did that happen? But your car is running pretty good now thought right? If it is then congrats on getting it up and running again!
Thats actually not a bad start. Ive seen worse cars turned into drag cars. Post up some pics of your cheap build. Sounds like you got a good plan going here. Good luck to you man! :thumb:
Khartley, you were right my friend. I ended up checking every single fuse i could get my hands on inside the car and out side and come to find out i blew the courtesy light fuse and the radio fuse itself :ohdamn: (why didnt i think of that) But i`m guessing that the OBDII port on the 2gs are...
Hey everyone, I ran into what might be a huge problem. Today i decided to play around with my car and work on my radio. Heres a short story of what happened. I had a dvd monitor in my car with an external dvd player. Well i decided to take the monitor out and move my radio up one slot and just...
I say rock the aluminum dash. I think those in a car like yours looks pretty nice and plus you can do whatever you want. You can mount your gauges in the dash or just leave them where they are and make like a center console kind of thing.
Ok, after my rebuild on my engine i`m STILL running into problems (and i started this rebuild in Feb. i think? ) Well now, i`m having electrical problems. Heres what happened - I went to start my car for the first time in a couple of months after replacing the front case and did a BSE kit. Well...
Im with Spyderturbo007 on this one. Do not drive that car until you do all your tests. Compression test,l eakdown test, boost leak test, check your oil for coolant and vise versa, check for turbo shaft play, check how your spark plugs and wires are, check and test whatever you can. Test...
The work alone along with the money to buy the engine and install it blah blah blah would be WAY too much to do. Anything can be done for the right amount of money. If it were me, just buy a Galant Vr4. The Galant Vr4s were a 4cylinder turbo. Only the 3000GT came twin turbo. Do a search on...
I too wouuld look into a nice S2000. I would love to have a S2000 because yes its a honda, but hondas are so damn reliable and plus the S2000 is very nice and is sporty. Plus all you would really need to do is do just a couple of bolt ons and you have a even more fun DD. Just my .02 though but...
I would def. check it out from bumper to bumper. check every nut and bolt on that car. With me being a total VW hater i say get it! lol But tread lightly on this just to be safe.
I pulled two more codes and this time. I pulled a P0500 which is the VSS (i knew that was bad) and a P1105 for a faulty Fuel Pressure solenoid. Now would this make the car run rich?
Yes DSMlink for a true sleeper look. And yes like kenamond said it is a tad bit expensive but to me that would be the way to go for your tuning needs since pretty much half this web site runs DSMlink in their own cars. Besides that would be much less to hide also. Keydrivers are also a good...
See an all black car....now thats something to be a sleeper. I personally think that its a lot easier to hide the obvious with a black car. Now with mindset`s idea to buy a VR4, now thats an idea lol. No one would expect a turbo awd Galant hahahaha LOL I do agree with Kenamond on this one too...
Ok i looked at my two other logs - i made one just cruising starting at about 760 rpms and i made one where the car did downshift to 2nd then to 3rd gear.On the cruising log: at 760 rpms the TPS is at about 4.32 with 11degrees of timing with roughly 26% load.on the 2nd to 3rd gear...
Interesting, then how would i do it in Excel? Im still wondering why it didnt work for me? Oh well.....now hopefully someone will see if something is making my car run rich.
Sweet thanks a lot Brian! How did you go about posting it? Im obviously guessing i did something wrong while posting it lol. Anyways, Brian (or anyone at that matter) do you see anything abnormal? My car has been running very rich and the idle is pretty pour. Im running still on the stock fuel...
Hey im having trouble posting my newest log. Im not sure what is going on, but when i preview the post all i see is just the grey-ish box that would have the table all laid out but the values are not coming up. Ive followed a post on here how to post the table by using the Notebook to open the...
In my own opinion, to me i wanted the sleeper look. But i said screw that since i put my FMIC on my car and it was a truely dead give away. After awhile you will not want the sleeper look because it is pretty hard to make a sleeper with our cars (unless your pretty creative). But if anybody that...
Hey everyone im still having problems with my car running rich (found out its gotta be a fuel problem). Well i replaced the spark plug wires and spark plugs (all NGK) and im still having problems. Now where else can i look for this problem? Ive read about resetting the ECU to reset the long term...
That looks super clean!!! This is just my observation but on most full bodied drag cars (i.e. funny cars and pro stock cars) do not have mirrors. And besides 1992AWDlaser is right, every little bit counts. If its not functional for racing, get rid of it :thumb:
Hey everyone, as some as you know on here i have been dealing with a smoking problem as of late with my car and i narrowed it down to a fuel problem. Now ive searched on this topic and all but my case have been on highly modified dsms but mine is mostly stock. All im running is stock injectors...
Ive dealt with the guys at Prosport gauges and i couldnt be happier with a set of gauges. And for the price you cant really beat it, and i cant wait to get my hands on a Prosport wideband when i get the money. lol :thumb:
Another update for everyone. I tried to switch my injectors out and the problem is still happening. Still getting the smoking and its very annoying now. The car is still driveable and the car is not over heating at all while sitting in traffic or anything. I checked the coolant bottle out and i...
