im not exactly a newbie, but this is kind of a newbie question.what brand(s) make a cone style filter for the 2gs? i want to do a short ram style intake, but dont want to buy the wrong filter.thanks-jay
I did it. It takes a lot of hard work and patience. And a little bit of cash. I think i spent just upwards of $4k on the whole project (that was for an AT/MT swap also). If you can't do it yourself, or with friends, do not do this project. It will cost you far too much to have a performance shop...
My 96 TSi came with one, the first mod i did to the car was in the dealership's parking lot. I tore the damn thing out.It rattled like hell during the test drive, and felt very heavy to open. I wish i had an operable one though...:dsm:jay
Your car is in park, technically.The same thing happened to a friend of mine's 92 Prelude. He was in a parking garage and his car would not go out of reverse. We pulled his entire middle console out (to get to the underside of the little shifter billet) and eventually yanked it hard...
You need to get a nice set of wheels (stock steel wheels look better than what you have on there IMO) and some adjustable coilovers. That car is sitting higher than my mom's CRV.I'm glad you decided to lose the product stickers, now you should paint the car the stock 1st gen blue, I'm about...
Pop your hatch. Take of the piece of gray plastic that covers the underside of it. Proceed to detatch the wiper motor, and every other screw/bolt you see. MAKE SURE you have all of those removed, and pull firmly on your wing. It will come right off.Then take a trip to your local Auto Zone or...
A friend of mine just got his body kit in yesterday and sold me his matching color TSi AWD rear bumper for $20.Anyway, when I take my current rear bumper cover off, I want to do something truly unique with my stock tail lights. What have you guys/girls done with your stockers to make them...
Man, I wish u would stop talkin trash on tite euro-tails. APC makes really good shyt 2 u r just jealous cuz u dont have tite tail lites. BTW will u sell me those hubcaps on yr car i dont have enuff $$ to lay down on some rims i heard that u were gettin rid of those. :thumb::dsm: jay
There are a few companies out there that make engines for our cars. I can't remember the name of the one that I'm talking about, but they make a 2.0 and a 2.2 shortblock.A 2.0 Turbo engine would be great in your car, but it is a pain in the ass to do the swap, and its also costly. I would...
Look at them. If they appear old, worn, frayed, or damaged in any way, there's a good chance they need replaced. Also try running a bar of soap over them, just hold the soap bar while the belt is running and place it lightly on the belt and let the cycle run a few times. If you stop hearing the...
There is no stock 2.2l engine. Throughout DSM's, there are 4 engines: 1.8L,2.0L, 2.0LT, and 2.4L (for the Spyders).The 2.4 is a piece of crap. However, if you are talking about the 2.2L shortblock that is available then I would go for it. An engine that already has beefed up internals is...
If only it were that easy for the Talons. *sigh*I just bought an Eclipse rear bumper (98) and tail-lights for the Talon. However, I'm going to remove the ECLIPSE lettering from the center section, paint it black, and buy silver lettering to write TALON on there (so it will look a bit more...
Your interior actually looks really nice, especially with the neon. Good job. The neon is even tasteful on your car.BUT... the NOS and APC stuff should really hit the floor man.. for real.:dsm: jay
I know for a fact that, if you remove your vents and cut the heat off, in the 1g DSMs you can relocate your cd player to that area. I have seen it done at least twice.From my experience, customization is endless, you can put anything anywhere on your car with the right amount of knowledge...
The plugs aren't designed for this application lol. I don't remember what they are supposed to be for, but they are little black plugs that sink down into the hatch... but they fit pretty nicely. I bought mine at Advanced Auto Parts.Just look around the store for something close to what I'm...
I have some black plugs I bought at Pep Boys on my Talon from taking the wing off. All in all, there are quite a few holes. 3 big ones and a few little ones (if i remember correctly.) Also, you will have to take the rear wiper motor assembly completely off.My advice is to measure the holes...
Yeah, but this is VERY loud. It was quiet on my 2g engine, then was quiet on my 1g, but is now loud on my 1g. The weird thing is, the car is much faster... I'm having no problems with it at all. I'm just wondering if my engine is!:dsm: jay
On top of my ghost white smoke problem, I have a new (i dunno if it is necessarily a) problem.I am getting a noticeable PSSSH after every shift.I have absolotely no power loss, idle is fine, and everything else is all good. I have the stock BOV, and I really don't think I should be...
I did the FWD-AWD mod. It's not that involved if you have car nerds for friends that will do any work for pizza and beer!Anyway, I had wheel hop.. violent wheel hop. Just like you. Differential took a big big crap.-jay
I wasn't maintaing a 4k rmp idle. I was just revving it up that far and then dropping it 1k at a time down to normal idle speed.The stealership gave me no advice. They couldnt get it to act up, and I still can't either.Craig -- I PMd you about coming up to Ft. Wayne. I want a second...
