Dry starter? Take a look at my thread here: https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/1g-intermittent-starter-issue.544123/ Specifically listen to the 2nd video in my original post where it finally does start. There's kind of a growling noise that sounds...

Woohoo. It’s so new and purdy.Not sure if I’m gonna install it this weekend or not. I hate dropping this f*cking transmission. Lol. But it’s nice I have it.

Whoa, what's this? Another update? Yessir.And this one mostly just involves shipping mistakes and missing parts and existing parts not fitting. Yay!Anyways, after I deciced to go ahead with the build, despite my less-than-ideal cylinders and...

Well.....I was doing "maintenance" around the house and found several air leaks around my electrical box and my washing machine plumbing so I grabbed a can of triple expanding insta-foam and went to work.Now in this instance, I have to say READ...

Check for vacuum leaks.

I'll make a thread asking just that, or someone else can. I would also like to see that. Title it "show me your PP!" for extra points.Same on mine.

I agree, if the entire Pressure Plate is thinner or if the Flywheel is thinner.

Yes, by removing the shims your fork would sit more to the passenger side in your pic, so the slave would be further extended at rest. Not exactly the position you need. IMO your fork looks pretty good like that (because it's shimmed). The bigger...

The slave cylinder likes to trap an air bubble that doesn't come out easily. Bleed it out like normal from the pedal, as the bleeder is open push the slave all the way in by hand, hold it and then close the bleeder.Also your shim sounds like...

I like to use the evo fuel pump grommet on the pump installs. you can find them on site vendors like extreme psi and others for less than $5it fits on the barb of the fuel pump and slides into the fuel pump hanger neck better than the o ring...

When you look at how the chambers of the turbine housing mate up to the o2 housing, it becomes clear why a 2G DSM o2 housing (even after porting) is a compromise. Big16G, or E3 16G mates best with the E3 o2 housing. When I finally got my hands on...

When a EVO 3 16g comes with its O2 housing, it would make the difference more significant. The EVO 3 O2 housing has the largest outlet ID. (Keep in mind that the EVO O2 housing outlet flange has a slight different angle than DSM.)1st-2nd pic ...

Yes that's why I edited my post . Something is wrong with the Amazon link and I put the Amazon one because the pricing is half than Rockauto.

It's a 4g63 NA right? It's the same PN as the turbo model - MB436741. This mount is also the same with an Automatic and Manual trans. Not so much for the other mount and two roll stops.

OEM replacement would be good, like the one in the link below.Edit: I don't know why but it seems Amazon link is not working well for some reason. Please search with "WESTAR EM9206" in Amazon or in google.

This should be your left side mount: https://www.rockauto.com/en/partsearch/?partnum=MB436741Note that it has two rubber stopper/cushions, one on each side of the mount that are not included with the mount. Also if your old mount is totally...

Could just be an unbalanced tire or four.

I'm lucky to get to 200 spirited city miles before my low fuel light comes on (1g AWD). Takes about 12.5 gallons, so that's about 15-16mpg. I believe the tank holds ~16 gallons, but I'm not a fan of running it dry.

Well my shifter stuff was here and it’s a pretty day, so I wanted to do one last thing before I go back to work, and that was install it all. To say it makes a huge difference is an understatement like a hydrogen bomb explodes kinda big.But I...

Probably a china turbo then. Yes, even a good-used manifold would be better than a chinabay header (if that's what it is). No matter what, it's going to be a project car. Looks like it's been sitting for a while. What's your mechanic ability...
