  1. New dump tube through the bumper! Vid!

    Might just be the funniest post I've read all week.
  2. Crazy violent shaking in suspension @ 40ish mph

    3/9 most likely a tie-rod, but could possibly be wheel bearing, 12/6 wheel bearing or ball joint. At that point you would need to investigate further to narrow down the suspect part.
  3. Stupid Valve Cover

    Agreed.
  4. Painting heat shields ?

    I used grill paint on mine (may not look as good as engine paint). It has held up well, and required no prepwork. Only downside is it comes in one color.......
  5. throttle body question

    They used an old meter, but I'd suggest getting a DMM (digital multimeter). You can find them in the $5-$1500 range...and I'd suggest just for automotive testing , something in the $15 range (If you find a link to one and want to know if it's good enough lemme know). They test ohms, voltage...
  6. throttle body question

    The 1G is larger, so it requires some work... These should give you a start http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69924 http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58326
  7. dogbox?

    There is a drain and a fill plug. Make sure to loosen the fill plug first becuase if you can't get it out, and it's already drained.....how will you get fluid in? Check VFAQ for tips and instructions. A popular replacement is Penzsoil Synchromesh, found at Autozone.
  8. throttle body question

    2Gs have a weird thing going on with the TPS, but 1Gs seem pretty easy. Check VFAQ for correct testing/adjustments.
  9. dogbox?

    I'd try the clutch pedal adjustment on TRE's site or RRE's site first, and change your tranny and clutch fluids if you haven't already.
  10. So I have a pumping problem when I'm at the gas station

    My bet is on the charcoal canister or one of its lines being plugged.
  11. throttle body question

    Did the new throttlebody come with the idle air and throttle position sensors attatched or did you attatch your old ones? If you attatched your old parts, it could be that the TPS is out of adjustment. If you used the new onesthe IAC could be bad. Both checks/adjustments can be found at...
  12. dogbox?

    Unless your car is super heavily modded (i.e. a full fleged race build), I doubt you have one either.
  13. shifter cable adjustment??

    2G DSMs don't have cable adjustments. Couple of things I would do is check your master and slave cylinders for leaks , and . If no leaks are found change tranny fluid, clutch fluid, and check the master cylinder adjustment and adjust as neccessary. Also look into new shifter bushings (underhood...
  14. So what's the worst experience you've had installing a part?

    I haven't really done anything too difficult yet, but my worst experience so far is throttle body shaft seals. One screw stripped and the other's head snapped off. No big problem....except then I broke a screw extractor. I tried to drill it out, but the screw extractor is harder than any bits I...
  15. Having Trouble Installing Throttle Cable

    You might need to explain your problem a little better, but to me, it seems like when you let off the gas, the throttle does not shut properly. If this is the case, before you installed the cable, did you check it to make sure it slides back and forth properly? Did you check the pedal for easy...
