I just got my car back from being rebuilt and am wonder what you guys suggest for breaking it in. I was told from the mechanic to just take it easy city driving and not let the RPMs go over 3 grand for about 500 miles. What do you guys suggest?

I needed new pads and when i went to push the caliper piston back it squirted fluid at me. Is this normal at all or do these calipers need to be replaced? Thanks

Or is it not really a big deal? If its not I'll just have a shop do it for 20 bucks. Otherwise I wanna do it myself so I can get the right kind.

For some reason the air compresser at my local quicktrip doesn't fit right on the tank. The fitting on the air compresser is bigger then the fitting on my air tank. Do I need another peice or something? I'v never really worked with air tanks and what noT before so if someone knows why I'm...

This really sucks because my ball joints are ready to go... For some reason the TSi doesnt have it, but the gs-t does...?tsi fwd http://www.alldata.com/TSB/03/980315ER.htmlgs-t http://www.alldata.com/TSB/39/98394444.html

No its already gone bankrupt after attempting to one up Nintendo's handheld line with their stupid Gizmando. The company execs pissed away all the investor money while the company was going straight down hill.

Yeah the more expensive card is one of the best out right now and the original one pretty much sucks. If you want to game then you have to spend the money. Otherwise forget it.

What does the 420A have to do with the SRT-4?Your rant is stupid, the car is faster then a dsm stock for stock. Power > Looks

Is there anywhere in my thread title that is asking for your opinion on ebay? I am selling a videogame, not a dsm part.

Is there a way to go about doing this easily and freely?

This is really starting to get on my nerves. This is the second time I have auctioned an item and this winner isn't paying me either. Is there anything I can do to make them pay besides just giving bad feedback?

much appreciated

I have a 92 wrangler manual. First vehicle I have owned where I can literally start the jeep in nuetral without the clutch in. Is that normal?

uhhhh :rolleyes:

Keep the ideas comming because I am completely stumped. It's my first Halloween being 21 and I have a lot of parties to go to. Last year I was a hawaiian girl and the year before I was a nerd.

Car isn't worth more then 500 bucks. You will put thousands into it just to get it rebuilt and running. You will put thousands more into it to make it fast and you will have no traction because its fwd. Sorry, keep looking and spend some money on a decent AWD.

IMO, I wouldn't even get one of these if its your first car unless it is in perfect condition mechanically and hasn't been modded the slightest bit.

I say sell the car for what you can. Then buy a cheap car for now. Your 20 years old, enjoy the party life while you can.

You will have more problems than your honda period. There is just much more on a turbo car than an n/a car has to make it run. More sensors, innercooler piping, coolant lines/oil lines, vacuum hoses, the turbo itself, exc. I recommend keeping the car stock for a while and do as much of the...

Its called Paypal.

Thats not too bad of a price for a new motor, anything cheaper is gonna have to be used from another neon, avenger, n/a dsm. Just check junkyards.

No kidding, always reply with the solution.

No matter what stuff breaks even if you don't mod the car. The thing is regular maintenance is going to be much more expensive on a twin turbo 6 cyl than a single turbo 4 cyl.

No one reads any boating forums on here?

I just bought a 92 forester 4.3L ski boat and I'm looking for a resourceful site kinda like this one. Any of you boat owners on here know of any good sites?

I'm 21 and have been smoking for a good 3-4 years and haven't quit for more than a month. I have no problem at all quiting until I go out. I just can't take not having a cigarette when I am drinking and the process starts up again. I am a bartender and I go out a lot. It's just what I like...

Yes definatly try some good synthetic in there. I used redline and it helped a ton.

I'v done a boost leak test like 5 times with a tank of air and can't find any leaks. I heard about using the carb cleaner on here, great I hope I didnt make things worse...

I sprayed carb cleaner on all my fmic pipping fittings and and at almost every fitting the rpms would change at idle. Does that basically mean all of those spots are boost leaks then?

Anyone else have any idea why this thing would be lean? I'm pretty sure it's not the o2 since they are pretty much inoperative at idle anyways.

I'm narrowing a crappy lean idle down to coolant sensor, but I get no code and the logger is giving me temperature readings. Could it still possibly be the sensor or is that not feasable? Thanks

You really think an o2 sensor would cause me this much trouble or are you just throwing an idea out there? I always thought a bad o2 sensor would just cause bad gas mileage by making you run a little rich. Cause now if I wanna change the o2 sensor, it will be expensive because the shop is gonna...

My car has a slight idle surge when driving and an almost complete dead idle when the engine is cold. You have to pump the gas to keep rpms up when the motor is cold till it's warm and then it will finally idle with a little surge and a little bogging when driving. I have tried almost...

I have a 98 and I have bad idle surge. Well the next thing to check on the list is tps sensor so I measured it with an ohm meter. Anyways, I can't really get a reading, I will sometimes get a quick reading, but it goes right back to 0. I also tried reading the tps off my spare 2g throttle...

Thanks man, wasn't sure if I should use the teflon tape on it or not.

I just got a new aeromotive fpr and did a boost leak test and the adjustable screws leaks boost at the top of the regulator. Is that normal?

Umm, you must not be reading the same specs as the rest of us. :rolleyes:

Until you see what sony and nintendo are cooking up, this machine will be significantly underpowered compared to the other two. Save your money, there is no rush. M$ is jumping the gun.

I never said I just bought it from someone and yes it is an fpr for dsms. It came with my talon when I bought it and has worked great for a long time until now.For other users: If no one knows what brand it is, does anyone know of what brand regulators have 8 AN inlets? All the ones I am...

The one I have is leaking boost so I wanna swap it out. I can't seem to find it on the web as I don't know what brand it is. I think the inlet sizes are 8. Here's a few pics, sorry they are big.

When is it? I will prolly go this year since I will finally be 21.

Yeah the first thing I'm doing on fri is pulling the code and changing the plugs. It's not my car so I can only work on it at schedualed times.

Is there a way I can check the condition of the mounts without removing them?

I know we are dsm owners and not neon owners, but I figured I would post it here since it's the same motor. Anyways, the motor shakes really bad so I was wondering what to diagnose. There is a cel that I haven't gotten around to yet. I'm looking at the neon on fri to see if I can figure out...

I'm still in college, but when I am done I am kind of thinking of moving down to Florida. I was there once in Orlando on vacation and really liked it. I just can't stand the cold weather up in Wisconsin anymore. I am getting a degree in Network Administration so I am thinking of just looking...

I'm a bartender and everytime I see a customer put nickels in dimes for change back in their pocket it makes we wanna jump over the bar. It's funny the place I bartend in is a super high class restaurant and the worst tippers are the old people that I have to spend the most time on. They just...

There is no way in hell thats running on final hardware if ps3 hardware at all. Along with the whole madden xbox 360 shots which was just a cg video of what madden next gen SHOULD look like on the system. We will see the real xbox 360 hardware and games in 2 weeks and if we are lucky they will...

That demo video isn't even running on real hardware. It's just cg showing what madden hypotheticly should look like. You will see the real madden running on xbox 360 in 3 weeks for the mtv debut and e3 trade show.

Thats the hard part, the car is in a different location right now then where i live. I won't get a chance to go work on it again till tomorrow night. I remember last time i looked at the regulator i had trouble finding a brand name on it. I'll try to snatch a picture of it. Is there anyway...

Can someone please clue me in I don't wanna continue leak testing until I get this leak fixed with the new regulator.
