    Loud Pop and then thwapp thwapp thwapp!

    Loud Pop and then thwapp thwapp thwapp!

    You know the more I think about this the more i'm confused as to what the problem is. Indeed the car did stay running, although it sounded terrible, so it isn' t the timing belt. Maybe I'll drive over to the shop today in the girlfriends car and take a peak with some wrenches during the...

    How to disconnect starter wire

    So do I just squeeze it to make it unclip? I tried doing that with no luck from under the car.

    How to disconnect starter wire

    I know this should be very simple but I can't get the small wire with the slide on connecter to come off my starter. Is there anything special I need to do?

    How to get 2g shifting like NEW car?!

    How to get 2g shifting like NEW car?!

    Hey guys, i'm going to be replacing my stock clutch soon, with an act2100, and I was wondering what other steps I could take while the car is apart to help insure my car shifts like new again (clutch fork, etc) :thumb:

    Replacing Clutch with ACT 2100 on Daily Driver, light flywheel too?

    Thanks everyone, I appreciate your feedback. I guess at this point I will probably just get the act2100 and have my stock flywheel resurfaced.
