  1. Clutch Help

    It sounds like your clutch pedal isn't adjusted properly. it's a pain in the neck but you have to keep playing with it until you get it. If the wheels are spinning while the clutch is engaged then it's not disengaging fully, which means it's an adjustment issue. good luck
  2. Car Shakes really bad

    your best bet is to pull the transmission. sounds like you have loose flywheel bolts. Do not keep starting it and running it like that. you will further damage things and may need a new clutch, if not already. good luck
  3. electrical issues

    you can test your alt with a multimeter while the car is running. you want to see 14v. if its a cold/hot problem then i think coryd21 nailed it. electrical problems are a pita. goodluck
  4. konig unknown tires

    do they bulge out at all?
  5. Boost Leak?

    +1 on being paranoid. scrap the t25 and get a 14b. some ppl run 11's on them. all in the tune and supporting mods.
  6. oil dipstick

    "o-rings are weird little bastards" haha that is hilarious. just buy the oem o-ring. what's 5$ for peace of mind.
  7. fresh engine build smokes at idle

    give it more time. they'll seat. we have some very knowledgeable guys on here.
  8. Stupid manifold cover!!

    work smarter, not harder...is my motto. although i always end up with either bloody knuckles or a kink in my neck (worst). back yard mechanics ftw!!
  9. Boost Leak?

    very vague post. Not much to work with. details my friend....details.
  10. How long do forged pistons last?

    you get what you pay for. forged=better than stock under ideal circumstances but like everything it has a breaking point. take care of your car and you will be fine.
  11. 1st dsm stiff gas pedal even with non-cruise cable?

    sounds like the problem lies within the cable itself if the plate opens smoothly. had a similar problem also...turned out to be the line was frayed inside and causing it to bind. if all else fails replace throttle cable. also you could try taking it off and lubing it with lithium grease and...
  12. At a crossroads, Do I spend the money?

    dsm is cheaper and easier to fix. That side mounted boxer engine isn't for every joe schmo to work on. the 4g63 on the other hand...the manifold and turbo are staring you dead in your face as soon you pop the hood, more room to work with, and parts are cheaper if you break something. a lot my...
  13. Bad gas mileage and P1105

    i believe that code is for the fuel pressure solenoid. make sure you reset the computer, ie. unplug the battery or clear the CEL with a scanner, after you install the new one. all the solenoid does is open and close. It allows more fuel when cold(43.5psi) and less when its warmed up(37-38psi)...
  14. Ebay Intercooler??

    its a good kit. I know a couple friends running them and some turbo spec v's running them also.
  15. Cutting stock springs

    GR2 w/ eibach is a good setup. stock like ride with budget in mind.
  16. clutch will not disengage or engage

    sounds like a master/slave cylinder problem. did you adjust the clutch pedal rod correctly? how long has it been like that. any fluid leakage? from experience you would have noticed your clutch giving out on you gradually unless you did a 8000rpm launch at the track. lol seriously though start...
  17. octane booster good or bad?

    as everyone has stated. meth, E85, race gas, or toulene and xylene will boost octane 2-3pt i believe.
  18. question about 90 awd wheel bearings

    if you are going through all the trouble to take it apart and out. just replace. its a harder job then just popping them out and then in. I find its often easier to buy the spindle with them already pressed in. thats just cause i dont have the proper tools.
  19. Camber Kit Now theres weird noises

    its hard to tell what you are talking about from your description, but any loose suspension parts are/could be dangerous. when in doubt, tow it home. health/safety more important.
  20. Bent shift linkage

    I think also, that if were bent it would effect other gears not just 4th, like prob 2nd too. idk goodluck bro
  21. Tsi fwd worth it or awd?

    most FWD'ers, not all, end up swapping or selling for an AWD. Look at the amount of FWD DSMs for sale compared to AWD. AWD rules. just my 0.02$.**edit** Says the man with a front wheel drive civic <------ lol its all what suits you best like said before^. goodluck
  22. Bent shift linkage

    i dont have a comparison pic but it looks good to me. sounds like your tranny is malfunctioning.
  23. Having small issues with 95 gst

    -sounds like the IAC sensor which you could try cleaning it but most likely you'll need a new one. unplug and see if it idles up. -the sending unit in your tank could be bad. -the stock coolant gauges are in accurate get an aftermarket one.
  24. When to tune ?

    agreed. a tune is always a welcomed mod. you get the most out of your modifications with a tune especially with turbo car.
  25. Bleading a clutch...?

    same as the brakes. nothing special....takes awhile though.
  26. Starting issues - No / Doesn't / Won't Start - MERGED

    check spark, fire and air. check firing order. recheck that all vacuum lines are installed, and sensors missed etc. sounds like you crossed the spark plug wires.
  27. new from NJ

    well im keeping my civic so its gonna be all track car!! im looking to build it fully with around 500hp starting out and room to work later. Im trying to learn all i can right now. never owned a turbo car before so it should be fun. thanks for the hospitality:)
  28. could this be blown headgasket

    I wouldn't just shoot in the dark by replacing aforementioned parts. don't go in blind it will end up costing more in the long run.
  29. How to cut rims off?

    get a chisel and a hammer and chisel the corner until it breaks loose. works every time. just be careful not to hit the rim.
  30. why did i get slower times than last year?

    11's@100mph i dont think so. sounds like a tune problem to me. weather is gonna play a part but not what your describing. like everyone else said upload the log.
  31. im having starter issues.

    as maverick said that doesn't work all the time. i guess its worth a shot and now you know where its at so you can replace it:) be sure to disconnect battery terminals before you do.
  32. Part 4 project red2gb body work &amp; headlights

    nice man. im all about doing it myself. good job
  33. nightmares / insurance questions

    yes ACV insurance is a lot. it comes down to whether its worth it to you. I was going to get it for my mustang but when i added it up over the year it was close to how much i was insuring it for. not worth it to me. sorry bout your motor. you didnt hear them? thats crazy....time for an alarm.
  34. simple starter question

    like eveyone stated. neg(ground to body) pos(to fuse box or + battery terminal) if both aren't properly connected starter will malfunction.
  35. Brake Bleeding?????

    do you have the rubber grommet on the cap to the reservoir on? either way you should still get a pedal. sounds like your master cylinder is bad. try bleeding the master cylinder.
  36. new from NJ

    hello there. Im from south jersey. I currently don't own a dsm but am in the process of looking for one. I want a 2G, 5sp with 20g setup to start. I currently drive a 07 civic si and plan to keep it as a DD. A couple of my friends have DSM's. a auto 2g with a 20g, 3in exhaust, dsm link, FMIC...
