hi, i just want to ask an opinion about the brand/kind of paint i can use for my caliper. since i'm about to replace my rotor, i thought i should do some extra work. i notice that my caliper has alot of rust build up in it, and i'm thinking about painting it aluminum. any suggestion?:) thanks

what kind of noises are you looking for? a cranking noise? if so, you might be looking on having problem with the starter. is the dashboard lights on when you have your key into on position?

i have not really look into that yet, but i checked the fuse box next to the ecu and while i was checking it there wasn't any foul smell at all. i'll wait till monday to work on the car, so i hope to find something.

thanks for the respond. but yes, thats actually the first thing i did. i am going to replace/check my ignition switch to see if theres any faulty connection there. so hopefully something happens, if not, i don't know where else to look for. thanks

Well, i tried searching throughout the forum but the one i found which has similar issue was back from 04' and it didn't even have any fix post to it. Anyway, here is what happened; i started the car and suddenly died and the dashboard light went off, then i tried it again, and as soon as the...

i've had my 255lph fp for more than 3yrs now with stock injector, fpr, and no fuel controller(i have 2G). there hasn't been any major problems other than the occational hard to start after a short trip, which i'm not sure of if this is even related to the stock fpr. i put more than 60k miles...

uhhm, putting the waterpump pulley backward after doing timing belt. i ripped 2 serpentine belt before figuring out what in the heck was wrong. it was stupid...

i never heard of this before, but perhaps some of you guys know. anyway, i only want to ask if theres any benefit doing this process. though, my guess is that it will add weight to the hood?.the reason why i ask is because, i'm in a need of a new hood. i found one on ebay for the price...

i ran 14.4 @98mph 3days after installing my big28. i had #4 plugs fouled (damn iridium, the electrode broke ;) ). i had the basic supporting mod with just 255lph fuel pump as fuel mod. oh this has been over couple years ago.

well i'm bringing this one from the dead. so,thanks for the post everyone! i happened to need this very important information. :thumb: . my convertible top rear defroster took a poop on me the other day,.. and we had almost a foot of snow here at my place. :mad:anyway, i think the relay...

i just got one for X-mas :) . i'm 5'10 160lbs. i have large and it was perfect.

that Fudging AWESOME! a love it. it is really my dream car. but, why in the hell that stupid english guy even criticize the evo for having a lag? i dont think any of the owner will drive 30mph @6th gear. what an idiot. the car is perfect

a very sad day for all the rockers... i am so devastated... :| . he's one of the reason why i am playing/rocking a guitar.

i'm thinking about playing along with this guy. i'll pretend that i dont have any idea about it and send him the package full of garbage.. what do you guys think?

yes me too ple... :) .

ha ha, it would be a great idea.

well, i posted an ad to DSmTrader selling my clutch and injector. now, theres a quite numbers of people who are interested in buying my stuff. i never really sold anything over the internet and so this will be the first time. anyway, two of the buyers offered me an cashiers check payment with...

they must have totally realize how weak/crappy the factory 3G engine is. that the only way to make 3G faster is to dump in a rocket engine. lol. the sad thing is that, 4g63 would still probly win. :thumb:

hi guys,.. well, i've been running my car for a couple weeks now with a cracked exhaust manifold. its on the neck of the manifold just above the turbo on the air intake side. i can hear the leak when i move the throttle body and can feel the air(hot) coming out if i stick my finger right in...

i'd defenitely buy that car too if those chicks are included.. :thumb: ...or maybe just jump in it and go to jail. :D

nice,... congrats!

You need to Ditch her ASAP. i cant even imagine how she have the nerve to tell you that she's pregnant by someone else. she needs to go back to that a55 wipe who got her horny that night/day and have him deal with it and not you. you dont deserve that kind of girl or any DSM'rs. i hate whor3...

or you can get a long(longest you can find) nose plier with a 90Degree tip. grind the tip enough to go into the two hole on the tensioner pulley. i spent $8 for the plier at autozone. it works great. good luck!

actually, it started the same time when my A/C ran out. before i install the thermostat, waterpump, and temp sending unit, my car tends to over heat during idle, then went away right after the installation. but i guess its kinda good to have the fan on all the time since it'll help to cool the...

thanks man. i totally understand what you said. the new pulley(used) came from a 95 Tsi and i already have it installed to my car(97 GsT). i'm just curious because this hhhmmming sound developed after putting the new/used pulley on.:dsm:

anyone have any idea why my radiator fan runs all the time? i mean, it never shuts off. i already replace my thermostat, temp sending unit, and waterpump. the water temp guage indicates normal operation. am i missing something else? thanks you...

wow,.. this is something different.

hhhmmm. i replace my harmonic balancer(97 gst) with the one from a 96 talon, and since then i had this weird hhhmming sound everytime my car revs over 1000rpm. weird.. the only difference between the two harmonic balancer is than the 97 is shallow that the 95. but yeah, check the...

thanks man,... i'm hoping things will go smooth when i install everything.:dsm:

i bought a used pte 680cc injector from a local dsmr's, and i'm planning to install it this coming weekend along with a S-afc. now, i have a Fpbig28, walbro 255 pump, and the rest of the stage 1. i'm kinda worried that the injector might be a little too big for the Big28 which i will be...

well, i just want to know if the 95-96 and 97-99 crankpulley have any difference. i know they both recognize as 2g but i'm curious because i picked up a pulley at the salvage yard and it was from a 95 talon. now, ever since i got them installed(been a few days now), my car develops a big...

Wow!

F@cking Badass! i want that convertion/set up too... damnit.thats my dream, right there.. :)

that was a good one... :thumb:

congrats! :thumb: welcome to the club.. ;)

got my car since i was 18. i'm 24 now and the love didnt change.

heres my stock wheels..

i currently have the BPR6ES and i am telling you for sure that they are a lot better than the super expensive iridium plugs($10 each...blah!),.. anyway, i am now getting ready to put the BPR6EkN and actually made a thread about it coz i want to know how they work, but i guess they are a stock...

i would do what 92 AWD Eclipse said. i had exact same thing happened to me when i installed k&n air filter and a hks ssq bov. :dsm:

bleed the brake lines, all four of them. theres defenitely an air that got in to the system. i had this problem when i took my caliper off, same exact thing happened. good luck..

yep, dont go to the track... usually the break in period for the rotor is like 150-200miles.:dsm:

vaccum/boost leak maybe? i'd open the hood and listen to it while turning the throttle with a finger. good luck...

whats the verdict on this? this is NGK BPR6EkN and i currently has BPR6ES. are 6EKN better than 6ES?

the red arrow on the last pic is pointing at the hole where that bolt is supposed to be at. now do you guys think that i can get just the bolt somewhere. any suggestion? and DEFIANT..... this is dumb question but,... can you educate me about Harmonic balancer? if you dont mind.. :)...

well finally, i did a full inspection today and found this. good thing that theres no other damage. my crankshaft pulley just totally gave up,... probably from driving hard. so i just need a new pulley and that bolt for the a/c tentioner bracket.. heres the pic..

well, heres what i found out.. the bolt that adjust the tension on the a/c tentioner bracket is mysteriously missing.. :cry: ,.. how could that happened if 3/4 of the bolt was screwed into it securely tight? i also notice that my crankshaft pulley was off and loose... which i can basically...

good kill man... i believe you :):dsm:

well, the weather here in Indy has been crazy,... this morning after i get off work the temp. was low-mid 60's(yesterday, i think it was blazing hot---80's). anyway, to make the long story short, i drove my car hard this morning because theres no other car on the freeway but me. so, then this...
