Looking to sell my car to pursue other interests, please see the attached link to my Craigslist ad if you're interested. Currently having an issue which is after driving the car for about fifteen minutes it cuts out and will not restart until cooled but drives fine otherwise. I am in the...
Here is a quick log from the first pull I did after I felt the car was prepared to make a run. I rarely get on the car (odd to hear from a turbo car owner I know) as I mainly just tinker with the car rather than drive it but would like any opinions to help get a better tune on it. It's a...
I've never owned a Honda and was looking for some advice on what specifically I should be looking into. I'm probably going to be looking at a 94 Civic coupe (Eg?) that has a D15B sohc block with a D16z6 vtec head with about 103k on them, or so the ad says. Honestly I prefer something all stock...
Just wanted to know what scares everyone the most when getting into your car.My top three are:1) Will it start
2) Will it stay running the entire trip
3) If something happens and it stops on the road am I going to be able to get it back home without calling a tow truck.I've...
After a few months I finally have the car back together and running but would appreciate it if I could get some feedback on my idle log before I get set to move onto cruise and finally WOT logs. Any advise or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I slowly progress with my project. Thanks...
While my car is further progressing towards a slow restoration I'm looking for ideas to help make the front bumper easier on the eyes until I find a replacement. The previous owner of the car cut away much of the bottom portion of the bumper as well as misplacing the bumper support. As it was...
I know there is a freelance section of the site but I would rather keep it more or less local. I've been welding for about eight years on aluminum and stainless steel (all TIG welding) and I'm currently now a design engineer. If anyone needs any small weld work done (bungs for speed density...
While removing the cylinder head from my car and prepping to replace all my timing belt componets I noticed that my timing belt cover is grooved up pretty bad. Up top is grooved from the pulley and lower from the timing belt its self. The pullies feel tight and the timing cover bolts were...
I finally finished up with removing the cylinder head from the car and snapped some more photos to add to this update. In the process of removing the head I found an array of mismatched bolts, more interesting wiring (including one wire wrapped in tin foil, maybe an attempt to shield it from...
With hurricane Irene a few hours from visiting where I live and preparing for the storm I got to thinking owning a DSM makes me a little more prepared for disasters than the average person and here are a few of the reasons why:1) I have A LOT of zip ties2) When your car breaks often and...
I'm sitting at my desk job and really need a change and one of the careers I'm looking into is the Coast Guard. With the situation I'm in I'm not even sure if its a possibility to get in since I own a home and have a wife and two kids. From what I understand to be active duty you cannot have...
Well I may have found a way to fund my repair dealing with my bent valve(s) I recently found. I had my Jeep on craigslist a while back for one of those, ah lets see if someone wants to buy it, kind of things. It does get daily driven and I kind of need it to get around since my wife uses her...
I'm trying to figure out ANOTHER no start condition on my car. I was driving home after a very short ride (maybe 10 miles) when the car started acting like it had a large boost leak or similar to having your MAFS unplugged (I'm SD). I pulled over and checked my connections and everything on...
Recently there has been one car in particular that has been speeding down my road in the development I live in. Its not the kind of road to be doing any kind of speeding since there are a lot of homes and people usually walking around. A few nights ago this kid seemed like he was making some...
Well this is my little project I'm working on finally decided I might as well post it up with a little history to it.I drove about two hours away to pick the car up upon arriving and a quick inspection found it had a massive fuel leak from the injector o-ring, boost leaks and had been...
I'm having some trouble locating a problem I am having with my TPS. First off this is a 96-04 Mustang TPS on a 75mm BBK powerplus throttle body. When I check my TPSVolts in DSMLink V3 Lite I am showing .20 volts foot off the throttle and only 1.12 volts at WOT. These valuse remain the same...
Well the time has come for me to put my bike up for sale, I just don't ride as much as I used to so rather then have it collect dust I decided to let someone else enjoy it. It's a 2007 Suzuki GSXR 750 I bought it new and it gets oil changes (Amsoil) every 1500 miles. Bike has 8,154 miles on it...
Selling my Holset HX35W turbo I was intending to put on a project of mine but sold the car. Turbo is off a dodge pickup and is still attached to the manifold. Shaft still feels tight and spins free. Asking $300 for it. I would rather not ship and I'm located near Long Beach Island NJ...
I'll start off by saying I have been on and off this forum for a few years and found it extremely helpful and full of knowledge. Although I have never owned a DSM I have had many friends who have had them from stock to gutted race cars and they have always interested me. So that leaves me where...
