Don’t do that. You will regret it down the road. I thought my car was rust free until I started seeing bubbles. The pictures show what I found. Someone had put bondo over the rust. I ground it all out and found it was a lot worst than it originally looked. I think you’ll probably find your...

Anything new? I was having fitment issues and found out my car was hit and it bent up my headlight support.

bengals fan? WHO DEY!

I think "turbo intake" is a general term people are using to differentiate as you have an intake manifold and a intake attached to the turbo. Turbo intake, cold air intake one in the same

Might want to check the vacuum lines. After 2 years of sitting I'm sure they have begun to dry rot.

Didn't check motor mounts or transmission mpunts. Previous owner cut splash guard so that's a possibility. Bought replacement at AZ and they talked like the bearing probably went and caused it to do that. They talked like they had seen it before.

I was driving home and a friend was driving behind me. He called me and told me sparks were coming from driver side of car. Got to a parking lot and started looking and that is what I found.

Has anyone ever seen this happen? It looks like the shaft of the alternator bent. Could there be an underlying cause or is this an example of a catestrophic alternator failure? I check everything else and it all seems fine. The dampner has no play in it.

If you are looking to rebuild the engine cheap with stock parts I would recommend Parts Dinosaur PartsDinosaur, Phoenix, Arizona, wholesale engine parts and kitsNote: There parts are not OEM.

Go to Auto Zone and buy a Chilton book for the car or a similar repair book. I bought one for my car and used it often. I learned a lot from it.

Check for separation on the crank pulley, that would cause it to squeek. If that is not the cause you may try tightening the belts. I don't think the chips will cause it to squeek unless it is extremely bad. Mine has some chips in it with no problems...

I'm looking at a 98 gsx with 126,000 totally stock Cheyenne red and the guy wants 4000 for it. Only thing wrong is that the clear coat is peeling on the fenders and there is a little rust on the strut towers... Drives good everything feels good I'm going to do a compression test tomorrow and...

The way he talked the UDP hasn't been on there long and the car has sit for the last couple months. He was deployed to Iraq, he is in the air force. So hopefully it wasn't on there long enough to do any damage. I'm going in the morning with my pressure tester and hopefully its ok... What kind...

What kind of damage would I be looking for? How would I check to see if it has caused any damage? The accessory belts squeak quite a bit, I'm guessing that may be a combination of the underdrive pulley and the fact that the belts have never been changed. Aren't UDP smaller so the belts don't...

Timing belt has not been changed since he has had the car! So im guessing it has never been changed... The first thing I would do is take it home and order the parts and not drive it till timing belt is taken care of. Oh and it has a stupid underdrive pulley :nono: so Ill be getting rid of that.
