I like rota slips.Im in the process of installing black jeep bullet holes on my white 1g. I love the look of a nice dished steelie!

If you have access to a large slide hammer you could get it off with that.All you do is run a eye bolt through a 2x4 with a nut and washer on the back on the block of wood. Put the eye bolt through a spoke on the back side of the wheel.Hook the slide hammer to the eye bolt from the outside...

Hey guys still a newbie to the forums.Im doing a hx52 build any info on there setup would be great! Looking for Hp numbers, qtr mile times, top speed mile and half mile runs,spool times and supporting mods.. Thanks to any info that you guys have on the hx52..Any info on what to expect would...

I have made a few keys by reading the door cylinder wafers.Its done by reading the first few cuts of the key then you progression the rest of the cuts in.The process is a little time consuming and costly but it can be done with the right software and skill.

The code will be specific for your car. The vin and title will not help no code source company will date back that far. Passenger lock or replacing locks and ignition will be your only options

Hello I am a locksmith.Most of the time you can remove the passenger door lock from the car and it will have the key code stamped on it. Then take the code to a locksmith and get them to cut a key from it. As long as the ignition hasn't been changed that is a sure way to get a factory spec...

A good paint gun goes a long way..I would practice your idea on something so you can get a idea of how the flames will look.I got good results by laying flames out with blue thin line tape and spraying a pearl coat with a simular tone as the base coat color. When the sun hit the flame would...

Looks good.when I used paint cars I would take translucent red and mix it with clear coat that's the best way for red tent and keeping it glossy.Most body shops can do it.

Around here its hard to get a dsm in running condition for 1500. Most clean 1Gs sell for around 3k in my neck of the woods.

Doing your basic maintenance will go a long way while upgrading ..oh legends list sounds about right. I will say link is a great tool.you can get it done with a afc. But you are putting limits on your car if you ever want to go for more power in the future

When I did paint and body work a we would heat the surface with a heat gun and push it out by hand. So I guess hot water would have the same properties.Be careful not to get it to hot and bubble the paint.

I had a 16g on my car with a walbro 255 and stock injectors I had my boost at 14 psi without issue..but it flowed around 38-40lbs per min and the fp flows around 51lbs per minute which is a bit more it's a good chance that you will blow your head gasket .Once you get your supporting mods and...

It definitely sounds like a bad turbo but wouldn't suggest upgrading turbos with out having a way to tune for it..The fp flows more air than a 16g at the same psi..you may be able to get away with it but it's not the best thing to do especially with no way to monitor what's going on..

1G (90-94) T/E/L 2.0L Turbo engine Compression ratio 7.8:1 Standard compression 164 psi Service limit 121 psiA rebuild wouldn't be a bad idea..the stock parts can go a long way..if your upgrading make sure your have a good tune.And keep up service maintenance it goes a long wayIt is strange...

Looks great! Revised lifters are a great upgrade My head would tick like crazy. After I swapped them out I haven't had any ticking.Now is the perfect time to do it.

If you are patient you can find stuff in the classifieds. A rebuild may be your best bet.I know what it's like to build on a budget.I have a bolt on hx35 that I don't need.It may be able to help you out.

It's fine your car just like to wink!:tease:..sounds like a bad relay.If you need any parts I have a headlight assembly you can have.

Sounds like your on the right path welcome to the site!

Welcome! This is the place for I'm sure you will find all the answers you are looking for.

If you in the position to need a cage it need to be right.

Looping the lines are the quickest way to fix it.I did it when I deleted my fiav and haven't had any issues.

Well if your looking for info this is the right place..It's the most helpful forum I have ever been a part of.

Valve cover leaks are common with older cars like ours. I would start there doesn't take long to change it.

Now that's luck! Great goals hope you can reach them. I will keep my eyes on this thread.

Sick car really loving the hood exhaust! Will be following this build.

Link is the way to go!.I purchased aem ems and I'm kicking myself trying to tune it.

Strokers always seemed like a great idea keep us posted on the progress!

Sounds like a interesting build.Welcome to the site!

That would be a nice color combo post pics when it's done!

Option 3 sounds like your best bet.The interior door latch breaks in the lock position it can be a major pain to get open,It's not much room to work on the inside of car doors..

Clean car looks like no one has hacked at it.Welcome to the site!

Welcome.thats a great find low mile cars are getting hard to find

Not a bad deal at all just make sure maintenance has been done.It goes a long way with these cars.listen to luv2rally he is spot on with the questions you should ask.Also its never a bad idea to get a mechanic to check it out a compression test can tell you a lot.

Welcome to the site great find.I love these cars if you take care of them and they will take care of you.

I love the vr4s great sleeper car..welcome to the site

Welcome! Sounds like a cool build. Your part list looks like a way to make some decent power.What hot side are you planning to use on the hx35

Welcome! Got to love 2g style I always wanted a 95 awd dsm

Welcome to the site! I would be lost without it.It haven't been a problem that I haven't been able to solve with reading this site.

Welding is the right way to fix it.I purchased a honda that some one put little pieces if thin metal over the holes and bondo glassed over it..I was surprised but it held up the whole time I owned the vehicle.

You cant go wrong With 3" pipe.Thats what I would do so if you ever upgrade you don't have to do it over.

Nice work most plastic dip cars I see don't turn out that well without a sprayer!. I had blacked out head lights on one of my other cars I wasn't that bad at night honestly.

Thanks SO much I was able to find the base map!!!

Hey guys I really need help finding a base map that will start my car.I have a aem ems v1 on a stock 93 awd talon . I have looked and I can't find anything anywhere.I just want the car to start and idle and I can go from there.This is my first post! Thanks for your time any info will be...

It's always good to have everything in spec and checked by a shop .if everything checks out and my machine shop say it is fine I would go with it..I got away with running std bore wiesco HDs and ffwd vader rods..I know most people don't run aluminum on the street but they are nice rods and...

I'm not sure I would use them.If all the journals on the intake cam has the skip marks something is going on with it.Get a machine shop to check it out.
