Does anyone know if the clips that hold the strakes onto the door on my 2gb talons use the same clips as sideskirts?Both of my talons have loose side strakes and need new clips. Search only comes up with sideskirt info. Thanks!

I am confused on what the differences are on our auto DSM transmissions. So I understand Tcases need to match 95-96 transmissions and 97+ need to have the matching 97+ tcases. Is that just a manual trans issue or is it the same for auto's?How can you determine the year on an auto trans? I...
Is there any reason why companies are not including piping with their FMIC's anymore?What are people doing for piping these days?Man things have change in 10 years.
After many many years out of the DSM game, Im back guys! I just bought a super clean 97 TSi. After letting go of my 96 auto back in '15, I know I want an auto again. Unfortunately my new talon is a 5 spd.Im going to start tracking down all the parts to swap this thing to an auto. I have a few...

I know this is an old school wideband and all but its what came on the car.Now I need to log this m300 with ecmlink ASAP as I need to get tuned and pass emissions before this temp tag runs out in a week or so.Will the PLX suffice? Anyone having issues logging it with link?Also does...
I have a LC-1 currently on my car. Ever since Ive owned it in never ran right. The gauge itself never read the actually AFR. But I have it logged into DSMlink so I never really cared. Up until recently I had some tuning done, and the tuner said the wideband wasnt reading correctly. So Im fed up...

Just bought another dsm, 96 Auto.Sometimes, not all the time, when I drive the car is extremely slow off the line. Like I have the pedal to the floor and I go no where. Its almost like the tranny is stuck in 3rd or 2ng gear, ands its lugging to get up to speed.Once I hit boost it takes...

Okay I ordered the 3" 20g anti surge compressor housing off ebay. Currently Im running an injen intake which is 2.25.Will my intake restrict this turbo? Will I even notice a difference switching to a 3inch intake?
Read in a thread on here that when you replace the clutch, you replace the flywheel too. Like its a maintance item. They said it was a mitsubishi thing.Is this true? Replacing the clutch soon and need to find out if I need a flywheel.I was just going to resurface it.Thanks
I was on my way home from school the other day, and I was stuck behind a slow female driver :ohdamn: I went to pass her, put my foot to the floor (was in 4th gear) and something crazy happened. It was like my trans was in neutral. Free revved. The car didnt move at all. I let the rpms settle...
This is my first Auto dsm and Im at a loss. My car idles smooth right around 1000-1100 not choppy or rough. But as soon as I put it in drive, Idle drops to 500-600 and is rough, seems like its misfiring.My boost gauge reads vacuum at -4in/hg. Shouldnt it be around 15-18? Had a previous thread...
