My front lower driverside balljoint nut has recently started to unscrew itself during use. It actually caused what looked like a balljoint failure(where the joint would snap while turning and send wheel into fender). But mine the joint is fine the nut just screwed itself off. I rescrewed it down...

So I was in the junkyard today just looking at stuff and find an avenger with 3000gt headlights with the stock projectors. I was looking at them and was wonder if they could be used in a 2g retrofit? They looked easy to remove and the cut off looked good looking through them.

Hey guys,I posted a thread a bit back looking for a stock 2g exhaust so I can get my smog done. Smog is close and I'm still looking for a couple things if anyone would be cool enough to help me out.I'm looking to borrow a stock 2g awd downpipe because I need a cat and a stock airbox...

Hey guys,Does anyone in the socal area have a stock 2g awd exhaust I could borrow early next month? I have smog and reg next month and I'd rather not pay the higher price for a dirty smog. I can buy you lunch or a 12 pack or something for letting me use the exhaust for my smog.I'm...

Pictars!!!

Whenever I'm browsing around I find that most people see the old dc2 type r as having amazing handling. Why would someone ever hear about DSMs in the handling game with them being awd?I wanna know why those type Rs are so amazing and what can be done to a dsm to improve handle to that of a...

Hey guys,My family is trying to get rid of this white eclipse we have had for years( it used to be my car but I upgraded). It has a used engine in it with approx 70k miles on it and about 110k on the body. I recently replaced all the valve seals because it was burning a lot of oil. It also...

Hey guys,This new noise started up about a week ago when I got done changing a front inner CV boot where I took the whole axle out of the car. Repairs went all good but when I was out driving the next day, I noticed a somewhat high pitched squeaking noise. It is really hard to describe, it...

Looking for anyone selling a manual tranny 23-spline T-case. It's finally time to replace mine.I'm really not looking to spend a crap ton for a new one. I'm just looking for one in good condition with no grinds or noises.Either PM me or post in here if you have one.

Oh how I want to throw these clamps across the street.So I'm either stupid, have the wrong tool, dont know how to use said tool, or my car hates me. I can't, to save my life, get these cv clamps tight. I went and bought the pliers thinking I need them, but come find out I can't even find...

Hey guys,I saw this on someones 2g in an avatar pic and thought it looked pretty cool. So I thought I'll go to work with Paint and see how I felt.I'm like 60/40 in favor of it. Not too sure. But might do it in the future.

I've seen a couple of dsm's at Rcc. I know theres a grey gsx, a green gsx, and this guyDropped on stock rims, fmic, 97-99, cali spaced hood.Where you at guys?

To start off I'll just go over the noises. 1. When I'm decel in gear there is a deep clicking sound, it is most noticeable in the 2k-3k rpm range but goes all the way until i push the clutch in. I have a feeling this is the transfer case, I've had this sound since I bought the car and the case...

Long story short, the head came off and now it's back on getting put back together. And the engine mount is being a bi***. I got it off with a limited amount of cussing but I can't get this thing back on. I know I have to keep moving the engine up and down but when your given a 6 inch bolt with...

Hey guys,Long story kind of short, this car I am working on now was my old car and ever since it has been smoking/burning oil. Around a quart every 2 weeks. We sent it to our mechanic because it was no longer my car and my step cousin took it over. Mechanic changed out everything he could...

There is a meet at walmart off Murrieta Hot Springs in Murrieta every wednesday at around 7. Not sure on the start time since I'm never there that early. All types of cars show up from many places. Any thing from the brigade of hondas to evos, subbies, and vettes. I know some people come from as...

Long story short, My cousin has a NT eclipse with bad valves(and who knows what else that the mechanic isn't telling them) which is causing the car to burn a crap ton of oil.I figured it's easier and cheaper to find a used head in good condition and drop it in rather then completely redo the...

Hey guys,I'm finishing up ordering parts for my timing maintienence next week and wasn't sure if I should reuse my crank pulley/harmonic balancer or not. I'm leaning towards no and get a new one.Tried to get a shot of the treads.And the camera would not focus on the edge of the...

I'm going to be doing a timing rebuild here in the next two weeks and ordering it all this week. Just making sure I got everything. I'm also going to throw in some arps while I'm at it with a new HG. -All accessory belts -Water Pump -Timing Belt kit from Parts Dinosaur 4G63 4G63T 2.0 DOHC...

Here's the breakdown, if i let my car sit for about 10 hours, the car will have 12v and start right up. But after that the battery will die within 30min. It kills about 5v-6v during that time. It is really weird, never had a problem like this.Battery is new(month old), I disconnected the...

Saw a clean red 2ga today with a fat FMIC. He was going into wal mart.You on here buddy?

Where would be the best/cheapest place to find some spacers. Everywhere I look, all the name brand ones are $100 a pair. My wheels just barely don't line up with the lip of the fender and I want it flush.I'm just trying to find a place that will be less pricey but not sacrifice materials...

Well my cooling fan is missing a fat chunk from a fin, and every other fin is burned.Hot hot turbo. I guess.

Anyone else smoke hookah here? I know it's been getting bigger lately. Figured we need a hookah thread for a change of pace.

I feel like every time I go WOT I feel like: no, can't do that, car will go boom. But it's probably just the extra amazing sound of the o2 dump. AFR's are good. Idk/rant...kinda.Yes bored.

Hola guys,Couple questions about some things.First question, of what I have read, my starter is going out. My car will start 4/5 times right away like normal, but that other time i'll turn the key and nothing. I'll hear a relay click and another couple quick clicks when I release the...

You guys seen these things? Pretty quite with only a chip.Somewhat modded one: (Hard to find a vid with just the jb3 as the mod) <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KuT1c3OzMhY&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen"...

I'm looking for a 95+ manual tranny transfer case that's in good condition. Like no grinding noises or weird sounds. Mines on it's way out and I'm starting to look for another.Let me know if you have one.

My passenger headlight won't adjust anymore. Horizontal mainly, but vertical is a bit hard to move too. It just started to randomly do this. I need a fix to this because the light is pointing in front of the driver light like 10ft in front of me. While the driver is set up fine.Anyone got...

Hey guys,quick question. Will an auto 95 transfer case work on my 5 speed 96? I've searched around and have never seen a straight answer for this. My case is on it's way out and I'm looking for a new one. And already tried to pull the recall card, didn't work.Thanks all.

Who was it?I saw 6k hids and a front mount.

Hey guys,I've noticed recently that when I go wot in 2nd, the car starts to buck after about 4500rpms+. It will kind of drop off boost then come back, and over again until I shift. However, it doesn't do it in any other gear. Only 2nd.I haven't really checked anything yet, but I'm going...

Hey guys,Help me with some ideas for a decal at the top of the windshield. I got some ideas but I think they would be kinda weak. I want something that will make someone just giggle when they read it.Examples: I'm Gonna Get Ya(In reverse letters) It's Not Broken I'm Not Gonna...

I'm looking for a pair. And part outs are rare rightnow on craigslist, so I cant find any.I'm wondering if anyone one here has any?

Hey guys,I finally got a good amount of money saved up to drop into the Dsm. But I have two different things I want to do, whichever I do, the other won't get done until many months down the line.First option is a projector set up. Since the stock reflector housings are just horrible...

Sup guys,Me and a buddy detailed our cars and finished it off with a few photos. Tell me what you think. I think we did alright for a typical $200 camera.Ill point out what one's are messed with if you can't tell. And yes, not really a "few" pics. My bad.Changed color a...

So i'm planning to pick up a car for some rally fun sometime in the near future. I've always wanted to get into rally driving because i have a bunch of empty country dirt roads around me. But I'm trying to get some ideas for a car.I'd prefer a rwd. But if you have other suggestions lmk...

Hi,Well i just finally got my tranny back today from being fixed. So I put it back in and put the whole car back together. I get to try and start the car and push the clutch in( very easily). But the clutch stayed at the floor. I can pull it back with my hand. And pumping it will make it a bit...

I've been wondering why the OEM headlight beam isnt the best cutoff for a halogen housing. For instance, on my friends 05 mustang, its a stock halogen housing(Hi-Lo setup bulb though, not sure if that makes a difference) but the cut off is pretty good for a halogen I think. Definitely better...

Hey guys,Quick question. Are all IACs interchangeable? Like can I get one off a 420a or does it have to come off a 4g63 TB?

Hi guys,Mod list(that would most likely pertain to this problem): -Hallman MBC -16g -255 Wally rewired -Stock injectors -AFPR -3in Turbo back -o2 DumpAlright, I had been getting boost spike(13psi set, but spiking to 21), so I read up and found my lines on the MBC were probably too...

Alright, I've looked up what to look for to fix a bunk rear defroster. The button lights up, the fuse is good, and I hear the relay click when I hit the button.So, it has to be something at the window. Your supposed to check the terminals to see if they are getting power, but I don't know...

Any other people around in the Murrieta or Temecula area. I've seen a cuple here and there but I wonder if anyone from here is on tuners.If so, we should try to start a little gtg around here. Most of all the other ones are about an hour drive away.Anyone else out there?

Anyone know any good dsm mechanics around so cal? My 2nd gear synchro is going and I'd prefer a legitiment mechanic rather then a walk in one that will rape my wallet.So let me know if you guys can help me out with a place.

Alright, I started installing my Aeromotive AFPR tonight on my 96 gsx because my fuel pump went out so i threw my new Walbro in. So why not the AFPR too?I get the old FPR off, I go to put the adapter on for the fuel rail and... the bolt holes dont line up. And I am quite pissed rightnow...

Hey guys,(Kind of long, sorry)I have already searched for this topic and nothing quite fit mine and I would like more opinions.I have a 96 GSX that grinds into 2nd, either upshifting into it or downshifting. It's a pretty good grind I would say. It goes in and stays in if you shift...

Hi guys,I'm nearing the final process of buying a GSX in North Hollywood. I would like to find a good mechanic up there that could check out everything on it to make sure its good. Like all the stuff I can't check or know myself like engine, compression tests, etc.I am in Murrieta, an...
