It's been awhile since my last post and thought I would share with you guys and gals that I got a 08 subaru impreza 2.5i. Its not turbo but it's a nice car the awd is awsome and it gets great mpg. So I guess I'm out of the dsm game for awhile due to car payments and insurance being a lot. But...
Its sounds like what my talon use to do when it was cold out. It turned out to be the collent temp sensor I'd test it if I were you or just get a new one it was only like $25-35 bucks I think
I'll be down for that tomorrow. my namer tag is jaydubb1988, I wish they would have put tsi's in their instead of esi but oh well at least theirs one dsm in their.
I would say change the ball joinst/ control arms as well since a lot of people have problems with them. I changed struts control arms and tie rod ends in a weekend on my 1gb. Not the same cars but it was easy especially it being my first time doing any thing like that. Make sure u get an...

I wish I would have did it to my dsm since that's what killed my tbelt. The balance shaft belt snapped and got lodged in one of the pullies and shredded the teeth off the tbelt. Atleast that's what it looked like to me. If I had all the tools and was able to take the motor out I would go for it.

Thanks for the support guys and gals. I'm not to worried about it breaking down and not being reliable since the truck has belonged to my dad since new. And for the reliability of rams in general they are great trucks my dad has owned 3 and not one major problem from any of them. so I guess you...
Thanks that got me even more excited. I get the truck on monday but I see it every time I look out the window since I live with my parents so its teasing me. Haha
I figured I would let you guys know that I'm getting a 1500. I'm getting it from my dad its in great condition and best of all I'm paying 2k for it. I'll try to get pics up tomorrow. Its my first truck and im stoked its the off road edition so its lifted and has huge tires.stay tuned pics to come.
Its easy..... The universal ones come with some sort of directions to match up wires it takes like 15 minutes from start to finish. And why would you cut the o2 sensor I would have at least googled what they are for before I did that. I think you should sell me your dsm if your going to go...
And as stated before n/a builds are a lot of $ and turboing a n/a is expensive as well. But if you have the funds go for it. I liked my n/a talon never had a turbo dsm but it was fun to drive.Good luck man and if you do it let me know how it goes.
Ok I just changed my clutch and now if I don't put it in 2nd and then in 1st it pops out and grinds. I checked the linkage and every thing looks fine and is tight. Idk what's a mater with it maybe 1st is going out or som? Any ideas are welcome thanks again dsm community and I hope to get another...
Its a 97 and it has 150000 miles so u put a jack under the oil pan to suport the motor and unbolt the bell housing that's all u don't have to remove the halfshaft and the strut and everything? And how hard is it to align every thing I herd that's the hardest part thanks guys dsm tuners rocks!!!
That's the thing I need to know everything I never changed a clutch before I have the chilton manual and it seems like it leaves a lot out. And I'm looking for short cuts and advice from people that have did it before. I want to do it right but be efficient when I do it. Thanks again guys
So I got rid of my dsm and bought a cavalier, thinking I would drive it for a while till I had money to get another dsm. 2 weeks after I got it the clutch went out. If any one knows anything about changing clutches on a cavalier let me knno please.
I would have to go with the 97 cavalier I just picked up, since my talon took a sh!t on me.... Haha yea I wish I had my talon still :( but at least the cavalier is a 5spd.
Yea its a car sow so I like it, but the hosts of the show have nothing on the uk guys. The uk guys make it feel like they have known each other for ever and get away with doing stupid things. Idk it wasn't that bad but I doubt it will be as big as the original. They should just bring james...
I have read 100 time oils squirters are not needed? Couldn't I just undo the rod caps and push the piston and rod out the top of the block? It seems simple to me mayb I'm missing a lot of steps tho??
Thanks for the input I thought I could just swap them out, if I took the oil pan off and with the head off. I guess its staying n/a hahaAnd I kno it would lower compression. I want to turbo my car and I won't have all the money to do it right away. so I was asking if it would get me 2 and from...
I know I need a new timing belt lol its seems a lot easier to change then I thought it would be. But back to the head coming off can I leave the intake mani. on when I take it out? And how hard would it be to swap out pistons at this point? Because if I am going to have it apart why not build it...
Rockers are what the lobes of the cams hit right? well if that's the case like 4 of them just fall off I touched are the suppose to be like that? And how har is it to change the head I've had like 4 ppl tell me its really really hard. And what about the balance shaft? Thanks guys for the help I...
Ok guys so my inner timing belt snapped and my big timing belt is missing teeth. This happened while I was going 45mph so I'm sure I have valve damage. But how can I be sure and do you guys think I should fix my n/a 4g63 or get a new car how hard would it be to fix? I need advice I love my dsm...
awd turbo tsi mitsubishi(eagle talon/eclipse gsx
this guy is a fool he wants you to buy a car that he has pictures of him beating the hell out of it?..... hahaha just read this "you ever felt your heart skip a beat as your tearing down the expressway at 115 mph plus around a bend and felt the...
Snowboarding, ps3, having sex haha, working out, getting drunk, and some more having sex that's my life. No but really snowboarding in wisconson all winter is what I plan on doing if my dsm treats me good.
Changed the starter 2day. so far in the past 5 days my alternator and starter went out! But I'm glad its going wrong now instead of when its -15 out. And as far as I could tell the starter was the one from the factory, well it looked like it should have been haha. I LOVE MY DSM!!!! if I didn't...
I have the same problem, I just replaced the alternator last friday due to a dead car and the battery is less then a year old could there be any thing else that could cause it? my car idles around 1k and when lights are on it drops to 600ish.
I went to get my brother at work and I got their turned my car off he came out went to start my car and its dead!! Had someone help us push start it and it started we we're driving back I loose my head lights and as soon as I pull in is drive way. It dies time to change the alternator :)
I was in a bind with money and my car would bounce so bad when I would hit a bump so I bought monroe struts for the front. The reviews are really bad but I have had them for 4k miles about and they still feel new. I would say they are great for the price I don't race or any thing so for a dd 2...
