    02 to Downpipe Gasket/bolt tricks

    dent the pipe so a socket can fit, cut off a wreck and use it as a stubby, or buy an allen head bolt.

    my ecu did turn out to be faulty, just to let you guys know what the problem was

    4 puck sprung or 6 puck sprung?

    I have 375hp FWD. Id say go with the 4 puck, it allows for more power to hold down if you plan on putting down around 350+. The difference between a 6 puck and a 4 puck life span wont be much either, so dont buy it on that note. I like my 4 puck more because it withstand more hard launches at...

    GVR-4 Code 42 Fuel Pump Circuit Malfunction

    this code has haunting me for a while. I have the same problem except that my car stays running and doesnt die. My ecu has leaking caps which were covered with white silicone from the previous owner.

    I give up on dsm

    Ha, ha you're only on #8. How do you think you will feel a couple thousand later over the year replacing what else will break. It will eventually become unevitable on a high milage, old car. Get a daily driver and use that one secondary, so you can fix it all the time or get a back-up ride.

    Went to the Track Tuesday!

    Agreed, I'd think some coilovers would help. Preloading the rear of the car by lowering the rear and moderately raising the front will help gain some traction, along with sticky tires of course.

    Is my fuel pump rewired?

    If u plan on upgrading your fuel system i would say yes rewire it. It wont hurt to rewire it. You will just have high rail pressure making the injector spray a little more fuel. Do u have a wideband?

    FWD - How to get sticky

    Exactly what he said. Tires, mounts, and good suspension is a must. Make sure to preload the front suspension. Another good idea is freeing up hp. Like lighter wheels, rotors, flywheels, pulleys. The engine will rev up faster also. FWD likes this!

    adjusting the eccentric for timing belt tension

    get the jay racing tool or use a large pry bar. make sure to have a friend to keep everything in line. 2 people make the job fly.

    heater is garbage

    most of those cable heater controls that hook up to the control valve are plastic and wear out, not to mention if the cable guides are worn or rusted.

    Low Oil Pressure

    sounds like your oil pump might be giving you problems, is the engine worn?

    13g auto project

    I would think he might get more if he put a 14b 6cm housing on it (if possible). It would still look exactly the same on the outside and still behave like a 13b with a little more top end, especially if trying to keep it stock for autox'ing, to get that extra ump without adding aftermarket parts.

    WTH is this noise?

    Its kind of hard to tell. Does it get louder as you rev it up? Did you run your engine low on oil? What caused it to happen? What you have posted in the video sounds kind of vauge, but it might something under the timing cover. You need to get a friend to rev up the motor and get clips from...

    heater is garbage

    You may have a heater control valve problem. Check you connections(they are cable connected) it may be worn or broken. I can imagine it is a pain in the ass to get to in a 2g awd, I never changed one before, but this seems to be your problem. I forgot to say that you might have a clogged...
