How do I get in on ordering a rear hatch glass? Does the hardened coating one still have a black ring around the perimeter? If so that's what I want

I'm crazy busy this month but i would be up for something in August. I might actually have mine runnning by then.

I went from a auto to a manual and.the prothane kit I bought did not fit my front or rear mounts. The rear mount has too big of a hole for the new insert and the front was just completely different.

Make sure you swapped a 1998 computer into the car. With a 1997 computer you will have to switch a wire pin to a new location for the one coil and altenator.

My 420a has 270,000 miles and i still drive it 60 miles one way to work everyday.

The crankshaft sensor controls the timing of spark and the camshaft sensor controls the timing of the injectors. The computer does not need flashed but depending on what year the ecu is you might have to swap a couple wires around to make it work. Do you know which year ecu you bought.

84000 on my 91 gsx and 260000 on my 98 gs.

I live really close to you guys in Odessa and Lexington. My car is just about ready for the road again.

It's well worth tuning and its the perfect opportunity to start getting some hands on and learning something about tuning yourself. Get a wideband and start tinkering its the only way to learn there are plenty of people on here to help with questions.

That's what size I run your good to go.

Check timing marks and compression. As far as the oil cap I've never heard of one blowing off.

Great time for timing belt and water pump.

Just give it a little pry with a screw driver nothings holding it but the gasket.

Just make sure.you take your time its not a hard task. Have a picture of the timing marks available and make sure to clean you Hawley surfaces good. Theres a ton of info online if you get stuck on anything. The only way to learn is to try it.

I used 3m super 77 spray adhesive with no problems. Pull the headliner out lay your new fabric over it and trim to size but leave enough to wrap around onto the backside. Spray the old headliner let it get tacky the lay the new fabric over it and work the wrinkles out. Spray some on the back...

Oil leaks in the engine bay will not cause smoke out of your exhaust. I would also agree try a compression test and see where you stand. White is usually water.

I ran one for a couple years and it worked but it is nowhere close to being the most efficient way of tuning. If you already have one it would not hurt to use it while you ultimately save for something better. Safc, palm, mmcd program, and a cable to hook into your diagnostic port.

Thanks its a 91 with 84000 miles. It has black wheels now.[/IMG]

Short of looking to see if you have any fluid leaks to address I would say you have it covered.

Does it make the sound when you turn the steering wheel side to side. Mine was making a horrible sound and it turned out to be a rip in the balljoint boot that allowed water and grime to get in. It made a metal to metal sound when driving and turning.

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the site car looks nice.

Make sure timing belt and other maintenance has been done first of all. With some pretty simple mods the car will easily run those times. As far as mods it depends on how far you want to go. Get a 14b something to tune with and look into the fuel system along with mods listed above.

The cams don't have anything to do with limiting you to 23 lbs of boost.

Fpr, and exhaustAlso I don't know if you are a m/t or auto but keep in mind a clutch upgrade or upgrade for the auto tranny.

Spend some time reading there's alot of useful info. Welcome to the site enjoy.

Welcome to the site. Take your time and build the car right and it will bring you a lot of fun.

Sit down and spend a lot of time reading and searching for threads about the fuel system and different ways of monitoring and controlling said fuel system.

Looks good and I will second I hate rust.

Is it not recirculated? If it is its not sucking outside air it is just sucking already metered air from your intake.

I rebuilt my old 16g and it was cheap and easy its well worth the effort versus buying a new turbo.

Change the fuel filter while your at it too.

Start with plugs and wires and then fix all boost leaks. This is maintenance that's needs done anyways and it eliminates them from the problem.

Just build your engine the way you want and like someone said 0miles.

I would check your timing and if its off reset it. It's worth a try instead of just pulling the head.

Parts are so easy to find guys why not replace the whole thing and be done with the headache LOL. I did it on my 2g I just went to a junk yard and replaced the whole assembly for cheap.

The diff for the front is inside the transmission.

Sounds like a front diff. I also broke a front cv joint on the and wouldn't allow it to pull with either front wheel but it was making noise

Get a repair manual so you can see exactly how the timing marks go. Make sure you rotate it around by hand when done just to make sure they are lined up.

Pretty sure 18. Is way too lean should be in the 14's.

I would say do like a couple people said and pressurized the cylinders one at a time and see where you air is leaking.

I see there are multiple dowel pin holes on the cam gears are there multiple timing marks also. I read on here someone else put a cam gear 180degrees out.

Nice easy fix and it will make a big difference in the way it runs.

I would agree with the EVO lll housing you may have to modify the downpipe some or get a regular 1g o2 housing.

I would say you need to pull the Turbo and check it out. then possibly a compression test to make sure you haven't damaged the motor.

I use a 10mm wrench there is not enough room with the engine in the car.

Something is wrong with that picture but I just can't put my finger on it lol. I would definitely check out your fuel system.

Stock cam gears have no adjustment that's why your confusing everyone and the are no degrees labeled on the stock gears either.
