Gonna put her up on jacks tomorrow. Yes it gets faster wit higher rpm,it sounds pretty bad but I don't lose any power or anything. So I'm hoping it's nothing too major...
Hey guys, so I have a weird noise coming from what seems to be my passenger side wheel well. It doesn't do it in first or reverse, but it does it in every other gear. The higher the gear, the louder the sound. It's kind of like a clunking sound and it only happens when I'm on the throttle, or...
Good luck with the drive! Others have given you good suggestions. I would also take some spare vac lines, tees, and zip ties!. One of my tees snapped off on the road one time. My idle sucked :(
Alright so if you already decided to delete the aem boost controller, I would just just buy a manual boost controller and reroute everything to that. In the meantime I would suggest you run a vacuum line from the wastegate nipple to the nipple on the turbo outlet. This will allow you run...
UPDATE:So my appointment was yesterday. Here's what I went in with:Custom 3" catback with a Magnaflow muffler
MHI Small 16G
PR FMIC + Hard piping
1g Bov
Stock air intake
No MBC
No gauges
Made sure there were no t's in any vacuum lines (heard you could fail for messing with t's...
Well, I have my appointment set for Monday. I've been looking a bunch of stuff up and it seems that sometimes they just check to see if you replaced whatever you got cited for, and don't even bother to give you the smog. But I'm guessing that's very rare. So I'm hoping for the best and expecting...
Yea but it's unfair how police here single out cars that look sporty (and therefore attract attention). My friend just got pulled over two weeks ago for no front plate too and he has a 2013 BRZ. In both our cases the officers were in front of us, on the opposite side of the street, and both had...
Wow, eclipsegst95garage I hope that's the case. So they didn't even mention smogging you? The officer did write it off as a correctable infraction so I hope that helps some. What station did you take it to? If you don't mind me asking
Yea it's real bull. The 2 officers were staring at my engine bay for a good 10 minutes. I'm sure they were looking for anything and the shiny purple type s knockoff that came with the PR kit caught their eyes pretty good. I guess it's a bad thing to have a pretty, shiny bay...we should all just...
So no boost controller, revert to black plastic air intake, and would my cutback be fine if it has a magna flow muffler and resonators in it? It's not very loud at all, so I'm sure it would pass the decibel level
So I just got screwd by a cop yesterday. The reason he pulled me over was for no front license plates and smoked tail lights, then he made me pop my hood and when he couldn't find anything he said I have "modified emissions" because I have an aftermarket blow off valve. So now I have to go to...
So I've noticed that my right blinker (on the headlight) stays solid when my lights are on. It works fine when the lights are off and when my parking lights are on, just not when my headlights are on. I've checked grounds, fuses, etc. and they all are fine. My right foglight is also out (or I...
Thanks for the input guys, I bought new inner and outer tie rods and im gonna take a look at the seals also when I replace the tie rods. My power steering fluid doesnt seem to be depleting that fast, so I doubt there is a noticeable leak in there, but I will def check it out regardless. The last...
So my dust cover for my passenger side inner tie rod split in half and it look like it's been slinging some grease. I know I need to get it replaced ASAP, but is it possible that this is the culprit for a weird noise that's been coming from my passenger side wheel well area? The sound resembles...
So as I was driving back from my friends house tonight, I noticed a weird whining sound coming from the passenger side of my engine bay. It's not too loud but it's noticeable and it occurs even when I'm not in boost but I am on the throttle. Kinda sounds like a splash guard rubbing the...
Classified would be a good start. And you should definitely look on Craigslist also. Ebay would also have some used OEM parts you could pick up from private sellers
If you go to a legit smog shop, they're most likely going to tell you they won't be able to inspect/test. Once you tell them you have the AWD swap they're going to send you to the California state Smog Referee. Then you have to pass inspection there....Cali is such bulls***
Hey all, sorry for going awol, but I ended up buying the 98! I've had it for a week now, and boy am I loving it! I've been doing maintenance on her, and she's running strong. Having lots of fun, even while it's all stock-ed out. Debating on whether or not I should make a build...
Alright guys, I was planning on modding the current 98 GST, but I've had a change of heart (posted planned mod list on past thread). Reason being that it is an Automatic. I honestly don't want to be driving around in a car my mom is able to drive, so I've decided to part with my beautiful GST...
Yea kchaazz i was debating on whether to get the package or just the turbo by itself, but I think I'm just gonna go for the whole package :hellyeah:
One last question: once everything is bolted up and ready to go, what psi do you guys recommend I cruise around in? I was thinking of 15-16. OR...
Hello all,
I purchased an Automatic 1998 GST (Completely stock) about 2 months ago. Body & paint needed a little TLC but I got that all taken care of (glad my dad runs a body shop). Anyhow, now I want some power. I've done countless searching and reading on these forums and other DSM sites and...
