Swapped the plugs and wires today and the issue seems resolved. its funny how the simplest things can rack you brain some times. ha ha thanks you guys for the help and believe you me, ECMlink is soon to follow.
Ok so i just bought this car and i am a bit lost as to why she spits and sputters at 5lbs and won't spool any higher. as far as i can tell the car is all stock and with your typical bolt on mods and nothing extravagant. She has a injen intake pipe with recirc., greddy type s BOV, 2.5 inch turbo...
Ive had a lot of buddies with STI's and in my opinion, it seems they are less happy with em than anybody i know with a DSM. dont get me wrong a DSM, can be a Dumb Stupid Mistake if your looking for a reliable daily driver but, with proper maintenance they can easily be just as reliable as a...
i rocked the panda scheme on my old TSI for a couple of years and i really miss it. i especially like the black rims with a chrome lip with the color combo but the rims in your post are sick. i had white plastidip rims but i think the darker color sets it off better. tints will also bring it...
Exterior door handle lock cylinder o rings would be pretty sweet, instead of having to buy an all new door handle. Not really that big of a deal though, its just frustrating trying to locate a dropped one. haha
Hey this isn't a bad idea if money and time are not an issue and as with all swap projects there will be cussing and headaches. I'm pulling for you man, good luck.
Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. I didnt think it was that big of a deal but wasnt sure. This is my first manual DSM so I want to get it right. I tried a couple of searches and couldnt find any one else who asked the same question, but in the end it was just a good ole dumbass mistake.
hey guys im kinda kicking myself right now cuz i think i filled my manual tranny by the wrong fill hole. i added fluid through the top bolt just under the shifter cables, directly behind the shifter on the trans, is this bad? also here is a pic of where i filled it. i know this isnt exactly the...
I always have pulled the engine and tranny together. i always attach the picker to the top starter bolt and the front ps bracket with a chain offset further towards the driver side. Once i put tension on the engine out come the motor mounts and finally the bottom cross member. if you set your...
kind of a goofy, question has anyone tried 3" lowering springs with 1" to 1.5" riser?
i wanna keep my spring rate but i am also tired of dragging my nuts across the ground. i just bought the 3" drop springs and struts about 6 months ago and i really don't want to buy a new set of springs. any...
if you can replace the door handle on your own the latch assembly is a litlle easier. i broke the outer handle actuator the same way that u did and just pulled a replacement out of a junkyard rs. thats the only way ive been able to find that rod.
i did an hid retro fit a couple of years ago in my 2g... i cant remember what brand the projectors were but i did end up sourcing them from a 1g and i believe they were 80mm.
ive had the same problem before with my 2g, she would sputter and back fire and kinda cut out around 7-9 lbs of boost, and i couldnt find any boost leaks. turned out to be my waste gate.
ive used the stuff on my o2 housing heat shields and it worked great for 5000+ miles. did a second time and am at 10000 strong. i would recommend it for heat shields at least
i think it looks straight with the flat black and the 2gb bumper. Pretty soon here i myself will have to weigh my options on headlights as far as 2gb or 2ga, but i have to find either a 2ga or 2gb bumper first. haha
i know the rings come with aftermarket handles but as far as a mitsubishi number i couldnt find one (i work for chrysler), at least not in my catalogs.
life lesson #35: dont spend the your money on something if it isnt really what you want.
my first dsm i let my self make comprimises and was never really happy. be patient unlike me and wait to find some thing perfect. haha
ive always used gates belts, not the racing versions. i wrapped a gates super charger belt around a stud when i was routing it on a mustang(it was dark and test and tune was almost over) and shredded all the inner ribbs and still ran a low twelve pass
