Installing stock suspension on an AWD 1g. I have loads of parts but need help figuring out which front springs I have here. I have two set of springs. Both sets are OEM springs for sure and I think they're both from a 1g.Trouble is, I don't know which to install in my AWD 1g, because I don't...

Would you run this PP in a 300hp car?Had my rotating assembly balanced by a local machine shop, which included the crank, pistons, rods, and clutch assembly. It was only after I got it home I noticed they welded a big bead on my pressure plate. Was this to add weight and balance the assembly...

My car has had compression test numbers around 130-140 for a few years now. Always figured it was blow-by but the car ran well enough, didn't burn oil, and I never had the means to fix it, so I just lived with it.I finally got a chance to tear everything down and am looking to reuse the stock...

My neighbor has an '86 Chevy C/10 pickup with the "stepside" style bed. It has a carbed 454 in place of whatever motor came originally (350?). He's a really old guy and just wants it gone so he said $900 takes it.It runs, drives, 4x4 works, and is a manual transmission with a good clutch. It's...

What is this red light on the dash near the fog light switch? I searched and found one other thread from 2002, but no one answered. It looks like its from the factory but if you follow the red and blue wires, they were never used. I applied power to the little light and it blew up. Light...

I have three AWD manual transmissions and would like to rebuild one. I was just wondering if one is a better candidate than the other.Two of these trans have the NQBK code, which according to the database.... they're out of a Galant VR4, so they have the VR4 and Evo I gearbox. One of these...

I am installing KYB AGX shocks in the rear, along with the Ground Control coilover kit. But when I put it all together, the springs are too short and are loose inside the setup (see photo). Am I missing a piece? Did GC send the wrong springs?When I ordered these from GC, I told them I have...

I have a pair of Koni yellow shocks that go on the rear of a fwd 1g but want to use them on my awd 1g. From what i can see, the rubber bushing on the bottom of the shock that fits into the subframe is a different diameter between the fwd and awd cars. I was wondering if I can just press out this...

The other day I was at a car meet. Mostly Corvettes and Subarus, with the occasional Evo. I got to talking about the DSM with others and someone mentioned the LSD in the rear differential of the DSM is likely not working after 20 years. He explained my car was still transferring power to the...

When I swapped my stock exhaust for a homemade turbo-back, I welded on some generic 3 inch muffler. Trouble is, it is starting to rust after just a year. I think it's rusting for the same reason the mufflers rust on my 300ZX- because that part of the exhaust isn't getting hot enough to burn off...

I have an MBC that I got from Dejon a while back for like $30. Even with the adjustment screw backed almost all the way out, the boost gets into the 25+ psi range. I learned to just modulate the throttle and not go over 20psi. So I only use this MBC when at the drag strip and use the factory...

I finally found a passenger door side skirt for my 92 Talon. It needs to be painted but that's not an issue.The issue is how to attach this thing. There's holes in the metal door but there doesn't seem to be any provisions for clips on the side skirt that match up. Does anyone have...

I've been chasing a mysterious motor stumbles and dies problem for the last few weeks. Now suddenly, the O2 reading is erratic. Whenever the car goes into closed loop, the O2 cycles from .20 to .80v, as it should, but it jumps up and down between those points like an earthquake every other...

So after a 45 minute drive to the race track I turn the car off and go through tech inspection. When I go to turn it back on, it sputters to a stop. Still have full battery power and it seemed to want to start. Finally get a push to the pits from an ATV. After tinkering with it for ten minutes...

So back in January, on my way home from a week in the mountains with family, something broke in my car's drivetrain. It was 2am, on the interstate going 80mph. I felt a very slight shudder from within the car itself. Your average person probably would never have noticed. The car continued with...

Picked up a replacement 5-speed trans on CL recently. Getting everything together and just found that the hole where the clutch fork pivot ball goes is ruined. The pivot ball won't even screw in- the threads are destroyed.Just curious what my options are. The only thing I can think to do is...

Got a new radiator online. Everything looks good on it except that there's two extra outlets on the bottom. They look like they're for additional hoses. You can see them in this photo; they're the two brass outlets on the bottom.My car is a 1992 AWD and the old radiator didn't have these...

Looking at picking up a Brunswick pool table off of Criagslist. It's an older style but its for a good price. The guy selling it claims that only a professional pool moving company is capable of moving it. This will cost an add'l $300-600. I'm not cheap but if it's something I can do myself, why...

Car is a '91 300ZX.While driving during the first few minutes from a cold start-up, there's a bang/creak from the driver's side suspension area. It's kind of a sharp metal sort of flexing, stressed sound. Definitely exterior physical sound, like not a belt squeal or internal motor knock or...

I have a Buscher AFPR on my Talon but it doesn't have a gauge. Up until now, I've adjusted it using a fuel pressure tester kit. This process is starting to get old though. My question is, how do I go about adding a liquid filled gauge to this setup? I've seen other Buscher AFPRs with a gauge...

What vehicle used the small 16g from the factory? I assume the “big” 16g was used on the Evo I and II and the “Evo III” 16g came on the Evo III. Somewhere I read the small 16g never came stock on any car, but if that’s the case, why did Mitsubishi engineer it?

When you pull the e-brake to lock up the rear wheels during rallycross, it’s recommended you press in the clutch. Why is this? How is it saving the rear dif?Did Mitsubishi design the AWD system for the DSM or was it lifted from an existing platform and adapted to the DSM? Did they ever give...

Thinking of picking up my friend's dad's F-350 dually. Its got the 2 valve V10 and a 5-speed manual. He's already taken care of the spark plug issue and the motor and trans only have 150k. I'll be using it to tow the DSM and as a basic family truck.My question to you all is, can that rear bed...

I'm doing the timing belt and swapping turbos on my awd 1g. I took a peak inside the exhaust side of the head and three of the four runners look like the first picture. I'm referring to the caked on, built up deposits of carbon and oil. Also, the car burned off a good amount of oil at nearly...

So I've got to make due with a 40GB hard drive for the time being, but something like 37 GB of space is taken up by miscellaneous programs (I'm sure a lot of that space is Win XP).I have a few old games installed, but every time I go to uninstall them, it doesn't seem to follow through. BF...

Was browsing info on the upcoming Mad Max movie and caught a glimpse of a familiar motor. Glad to see our motor is still making history :applause:A few more shots of the vehicles here. Check out the speaker truck OMG

Edit: Thanks for the replies!I like the look of these wheels- the chrome lip with a sort of satin gunmetal/brown color spokes. What do you call them so I can search for them?Anyone know the specific wheel in the picture?

Like a lot of folks it seems, I'm having trouble fitting an aftermarket J-pipe with the OE radiator fan. The car has the a/c deleted, so just the one passenger side fan remains. I've never seen the inside of the radiator on a DSM, but is this how the internal pipes are routed?If so, can I...

It was a first person war game/strategy where you flew around a helicopter or drove a tank. You could build (or maybe they were airdropped) new units and be able to jump between all the vehicles you had on your team and drive them yourself if you wanted to.The game involved a...

Picked up a '91 TSi. Needed some tlc and now that I've got it running smooth, one of the issues that I'm trying to fix is the vented bov. It runs decent enough but I don't like the "sneeze" every time I shift. The car still has the stock 1g MAF that the PO said was "hacked" to accommodate the...

I'm finishing up an exhaust replacement which includes new O2 housing, rebuilt 14b, FP manifold, etc.I got all new hardware as well. The trouble is, I can't for the life of me get one of the mani to turbo bolts aligned and started. It's one of the short bolts closest to the radiator on the...

Decided to do this for one of my P'shop class projects. Looking at other Chrylser products between the years of 95-99 I have some ideas.Anyone else have any input on this hypothetical?

Some quick background. I'm trying to troubleshoot my '91 Laser with a n/t 4G63 motor. I did a new head and lifters, plugs/wires, new fuel, and timing belts. The car's got good compression, timing's right, fuel and spark is there. I start it, but it dies unless I give it throttle. So it won't...

A while back during some gas tank work, I noticed that the no name 2.5" cat-back exhaust that came with the car had rusted very badly. I hadn't ever noticed it, so it must've happened this winter. I removed it completely and it is not repairable.After quite a bit of reading, I've learned that...

Hey all, I picked up a FWD turbo Laser, no mods, with 106K. It has a couple issues that I was hoping to get some help with. It seems to run all right, but the idle is a little funky and I don't think the oil and temp. gauges are working properly.The oil gauge needle will swing in between the...

My girl picked up a '98 N/T 2G a while back to use as a commuter. The power steering belt flew apart, and when I went to fix it, I noticed a pretty rough idle. I looked a little further into it and found oil mixing with the coolant. Long story short, the needed repairs were beyond my ability...
