I will be attempting to fabricate a 10pt cage in my 1g and I have some questions. I tried my best to understand the NHRA rule book with cage requirements but I'm not sure if it left me more informed or more confused. My goal is to make a cage that hugs the inside and cant be seen (within reason)...

Let me start off with this, I have been having a clutch drag issue since I first drove the car (151 miles on it now) after being fully built. New parts are as follows and all BRAND NEW:Rebuilt pedal assembly OEM master cylinder STM SS clutch master to slave line Isuzu slave cylinder OEM...

Some background: 150 miles on new engine, trans, clutch, pedal assembly...... Ect. As I have been trying to put milage on this build I can't seem to help but notice the car doesn't like to go into 1st gear when stopped. It will either hang on the syncros for a bit then go into gear or it will...

So I'm in the middle of installing the pro cdi COP setup and the instructions mention nothing about the power transistor. So it sounds like common sense to not even touch it but I just don't want to screw up something when I'm a couple days away from first start up. Need answer ASAP. Thanks

Well I guess this is what happens when you poison your girlfriends with boost. They get you a turbo cake! Lets see them cakes!

Well this is my first time making a catch can and I have an idea where I want to put it but not sure if there is a better looking design I can make. I started making card board templates and these are rough ideas so the final design will change slightly. I guess what I'm asking for is input how...

I know there are a million threads on this but I'm kind of in a time crunch and need some answers now. I have the time and help to pull my Trans right now if needed to shim pivot ball but I won't if its not needed. This is a PTT twin disk and a forged fork with Isuzu slave and a brand new welded...

So the question is, how mandatory is a rear diff cover for a 1g? I started looking around for some information and its quite clear the 2g guys are having some trouble in this area but what about 1gs? I didn't see any helpful info with answers, I would like to know so I don't spend $300 on a...

After looking around for some pictures and ideas on a clutch pedal stop I have come up short handed. I figured I could make one and post some pictures to help others out that aren't sure where to start with this. I took a piece of 1/2 stock, drilled and tapped for a m10 bolt. This will be welded...

After searching around it doesn't seem to be too much discussion about a new engine and a new transmission combined break-in. I have the moto-man break-in method in mind for the engine but this goes completely against the grain for what I have read with transmission break-ins. The clutch is a...

So I searched on the forums and on Google for reviews and experiences with Ivey tune and dsm's especially on dsmlink and didn't find what I want so I'm posting here, mods move if this is in the wrong place but I couldn't think of a better spot for help. So back on topic, I know Ivey tune is a...

Well I'm trying to figure out what bolts are to be used and exactly what holes I bolt the bars to. It didn't come with instructions and I can't wait for Vassil to respond to my pm (hasn't been online in a couple days) so I would appreciate any help I can get. The 45mm bolts that came out of the...

So I got all the exhaust in that I ordered and I have a chance Sunday to start hacking and welding but I'm kinda not sure where to start. The engine is on the engine stand so it will have its ups and downs. I have never fabbed up a DP so this will be the first and I would like to do it right the...

So I am in the middle of a dual walbro intank installation and was curious was these pumps truly flowed to make sure they were parallel and one wasn't flowing less than the other. The pumps are brand new keep in mind. I setup 2 one gallon containers and ran 3 liters of gas per test. I had a...

I have looked and couldn't find an answer yet. Before I place an expensive order I would like some other insite to make sure I know what I need. Goal: make a full custom Turbo back that will out last the car. I want to do this once and leave it. These are the materials I have picked out and it...

I welded some -10 an fittings to my valve cover and around the one fitting was some parosity. I got it powder coated thinking it would cover the porosity but it didn't. So I went back to grinding it and welding it to fill the holes. I noticed the valve cover is severly warped from all this...

So I'm in the middle of painting my engine bay and I took out as much stuff to make it a cleaner job as I thought was worth taking out. I split the harness at the fuse box and to fit the loom through the driver side wheel well I de-pinned the fuse box. This is my first time striping the engine...

Ok so this sucks. I have a fully built motor sitting on a stand that has been done for about 2-3 months now. I haven't been able to put it in yet because I haven't had the time. A couple weeks ago I spritzed some WD-40 in the bottom end and top end to keep the corrosive metals covered from...

Ok so I have looked and looked and I have yet to find the answers I'm looking for. I did reply this in the turbo section but I feel its more appropriate in the tuning section with its own post.I'm finally buttoning up my motor (put on valve cover, some small things) and I have been doing...

So I was tired of my '90 laser RS turbo FWD always burning the tires off it and never being able to get anyone from a dig, so 2 years ago I picked up a '92 Laser 6/4 combo in Albany,NY for $2650.I found out after owning the car for awhile and never driving it that 1st gear in the trans is...

Ok so I got my motor back from the machinist 3 weeks ago and have had no time to work on it but it is in a bag. I am getting concerned with some small surface rust popping up and I'm not sure how to handle this. The cylinder walls are fine but Im not sure what's safe to put on there to prevent...

Hey guys I snapped a pic of these wheels that are on a vw (ugh I know) and I think they are very sexy, if they were on a 1g that is. I have seen wheels like these a long time ago in a picture thread somewhere on the forums and now I can't find it after searching forever. Please help tell me what...

So I finally painted her. I'm just waiting for the booth to finish baking so I can untape it. I still need to paint the roof and b-pillars. The paint is dodge ARH "blazing red crystal". What do you guys think? Straight as an arrow. Every panel has plastic on it and was primed in full. I will...

Ok so I'm almost 100% complete with this conversion but I'm getting stuck on the bumper mounting. I searched around and I couldn't get the answer I'm looking for. My laser support bracket is lower than a talon or eclipse and I'm trying to come up with the best solution to fit the bumper right. I...
