They showed me saying that the rubber just came off the crank pulley. Does this mean it would be decently safe to drive or? Shouldnt they have noticed it was screwed when they replaced the belt originally?Thank you.

how far do you guys think i can drive the car ? My place is like 30 km from the shop i have it at... is it risky or?

are there any tutorials on how to do it yourself? do you need to have the car jacked up to do it ? Sorry, i'm extremely unaware, but would attempt it myself if it's pretty straightforward. Do i need special tools.And yes, i should get a honda :(

wow, tons of replies quick. Thanks bros. Yeah the mechanic told me not to drive the car at all cause the belt is all loose now... and it's like freezing outside here so not sure if i can do it myself, most of my friends have moved into apartments now. FML, 160 for labour is just for an hour i...

are there any cheap aftermarkets one's that i could get, and which one would be good, please help guys.

Seriously i'm sick of fixing this car... i no longer have a garage and can't work on it myself. I got my serpentine belts replaced a week ago because they were squeaking like mad / snapped, and now a week later, they are still squeaking. I brought the car in and they now tell me that my...

cool, thank you.

Hi,my car was vandalized and my passenger front window no longer exists. A shop quoted me 220, but I feel that if i get the window myself, it will be cheaper if i can figure out how to install it. Also, are 2g eclipse and talon glass identical? i'm looking at ordering glass but it's off an...

god i really don't know how i'm going to go about arguing with the shop about this. I'm working like 50 hours a week to pay for school next semester and just dont really have the time to deal with the car. There's no way the shop will admit to screwing it up and paying for it, i tried to imply...

Please please help I dont know what to do here at all...So a while back i was driving and the car when the rev's dropped and i had absolutely no power. I took it to a shop because I have no one where to work on my car myself anymore, and they diagnosed the problem as being the ignition...

thanks for the reply, do you know what type of glue i would want to use?

Haven't driven the DSM in a long time... airbag/cover was originally coming out a bit, maybe from heat or something, but now it looks as if it's going to explode in the passengers face lol.I have no idea what to do about this or how to go about fixing it... do i need a full new cover or...

Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but hopefully...I've got one of these in my car and when i hook it up to my iphone to play music, it sounds really good, but like every 30 seconds it will skip and it's annoying.i think it may have to do with the phone trying to connect to wifi...

Hi, my horn isnt working.. i've searched through the threads about horns and am confused as to what i should check next... My factory alarm horn works just fine, and i just finished taking the steering wheel off and cleaning the button contacts... still doesnt work. I checked all the fuses and...

Hey. thanks again for the replies!k im gonna try doing this myself.... i went and the guy says i just need 2 of the front OUTTER tie rods...i mean if i find that i cant do it i can always go the mechanic route.are all 95 talon TSI tie rods the same or is it different for AWD vs...

hmm, thinking i ll just let the shop do it....... im not sure if it's inner or outter, i haven't grabbed my car yet and seen the actual assessment.Thanks for the replies, wish i had 400 bones, shit lol

Car has needed ball joints for the longest time...... it's at the point now where the mechanic says if i hit a pot hole my wheel is going to fall off.so i need 2 tie rods + an alignment and the mechanic is quoting me 400 bucks (canadian).Im broke as crap and really dont have that...

Alright i bought some VHT night shades to tint my talon tails black but i'm starting to sketch about getting puled over with this .....What do you guys think of entirely red tails ? anyone have any pics of talons or eclipses with tails tinted red??

Sorry i thought you were only talking about the lights not working... not the needles themselves

check your dimmer switch wiring... my gauges werent working and it was because of these wires

those gauges are awesome... where can i get some?

us edmontonians should organize a meet, there seem to be alot of us on here

Hey man, sorry to hear about your dsm woes.... I'm in Edmonton too, nice car you have there, i dont think i've seen you cruisin b4.. what shop are you taking your car too???

They're the stock silver color right now and look like crap... i'm too cheap to afford a nice set of rims right now so i think im going to paint them in the next couple days hereThinking a silver / gunmetal color or the cliche black with chrome lipopinions??thanks

K so i removed the horn and attached wires to the terminals on it and then attached them to the + / - battery terminals and it didnt make a noise... so im guessing my horn is screwed..One thing though... the horn in this pic has like a clip that attaches to it, mine had 2 separate small...

K i'm going to go see if i can locate the stupid thing

I have no idea where the horn is lol, i just figured since my alarm horn is working that the horn must work?I also dont have a multimeter. I guess if i could find the horn i could disconnect it and hook it up to the battery and see if it sounds.thanks for the reply

Hi, my horn isnt working.. i've searched through the threads about horns and am confused as to what i should check next... My factory alarm horn works just fine, and i just finished taking the steering wheel off and cleaning the button contacts... still doesnt work. I checked all the fuses and...

What are the chances of my wheel falling off with the bearing in its current state? I wont have money to fix this for like another 2 weeks or so lol^^ thanks for the above post btw, i may try this myself

Ok yeah im just going to get the shop to do it because my suspension is rust city being that i live in canada and such... also when i did my exhaust i couldnt get alot of the bolts off and had to take it to a shop to get them to blow torch them so i could install it lol

ugh.. well maybe i should just let the shop handle the whole thing

Alright so i got my car inspected today as i switched insurance companies and this was required... mechanic says that i need a new rear wheel bearing.... It's strange though because my previous mechanic said that i needed ball joints but this mechanic says that it's just the bearing. The price...

K so i haven't tried to fix my issue, and just randomly today my gauge lights and dimmer switch started working..... So it will work for like 5 minutes then the lights will shut off, then come on again quick... then shut off 3 minutes later... lol what's going on?!?!?!

yeah it's really frustrating because it was working at first!!! and this seems like such a simple install that i managed to screw up haha. Im thinking i just need to buy a new dimmer switch or let a shop deal with my mess :( lol

ughhh... so i replaced the blown fuse, resoldered everything with no battery... then connected the dimmer again it's still not working... so im not sure if i blew the dimmer connector itself or what. Really lame. The fuse isnt blowing again either so i dont know what's wrong :(I ended up...

yeah i did, not entirely sure if i disconnected it again once it lit up... lol. What fuse do i need to check to see if it's blown?! on my lil diagram it says 10A [ gauge ] ... Is that the right one ?k yeah i have no idea what fuse it is... i pulled out 10A gauges and it looked fine... i...

k i'll check that. my issue now is that my dimmer switch really isnt wireable because i cut the wires way too short.... maybe i could re solder it i dont know :(why would it blow a fuse tho if it was working fine at first.? is it because the soddered parts probably touched together with the...

Hi,i wired my boost gauge light up to the dimmer switch as shown in the faq that is on the site... At first everything was working fine with the wire connections just twisted together... the light illuminated and my dash did as well... So i soldered the 2 connections and started putting it...

yeah i have the same problem, it's fine at first then starts revving high... i have no idea how to fix it

yeah i may just wait until all this snow clears up, but i kinda of need the car now. Thanks for the estimates though

Hi, my T-25 is shot and i have a 14b in the mail which should be arriving fairly soon... i was planning on installing it myself with a friend outside, but we just received a mad amount of snow here and it's goin to be -10 (stupid canada) outside for the next week. So i was thinking of getting a...

are there OBD II cables that hook up from the port on your car to the USB on your laptop? I dont want to buy a palm and i want to use my laptop but i dont know how... i downloaded the emulation software for palm, just dont know how to hookup my laptop to obdii ,---thx

wow, dope as F

thanks man, you dont have a specific writeup you used for installing the T-28 do you?? Are you happy with your choice of the T-28 over the 16g?

ok i found the one on vfaq.com for the 16g, sorry i had only looked here before.... Is the T28 install basically identical to just swapping in another t25 minus the replacement of the oil feed line?is the 16g install harder or just longer? i think i would rather go with a 16g.... but i've...

I want to order one of these turbos this week.... i have all the supporting mods except for the fuel system, which is stock... so i'm going to keep my boost at stock levels (reason im upgrading the turbs is that my t-25 is toast)Anyways, i'm a rookie as far as mechanical work, but i've managed...

50 bucks is pennies to a company, but it's enough for you to never buy anything from them again... You would think that they would value their customers more and stand by their product. Either way you're in the right and they should just be covering all costs IMO

Hey, i'm working on getting all of my supporting mods before upgrading the turbo, but i'm on a budget so it's a slow process. Thus far i have an intake, k/n fipk, 3' exhaust, and mbc....I think i want to go with a big T-28 as i'm new to car modding and think ill perhaps be able to install...
