All,I've been running my stock overflow relocated to the stock sidemount location since late 2004.Lately, I've been pushing coolant out of the overflow just cruising around, car doesn't overheat but I need to top it off a lil bit (maybe a cup) everytime I drive it (which is once or twice...

Just went out and logged a pull. It's 2nd gear, third and i let off midway (knock) and get back in it for full 3rd gear pull and absolutely no knock.The wideband shows that it is rather rich when she knocks in 3rd but next pull is leaner and clean.Feel free to give me advice on the pull...

Alright, I am 23, just got my bachelors in Finance (dec 07) and i currently live in Philly. I am currently unemployed and looking and i am also going to be starting my mba within 2 years.Now, I would like to move somewhere warm (down south) but somewhere nice, close to a big city and with a...

I just picked up this new whip yesterday. I did not wash it since it's supposed to rain but these pictures will do for now.Car is a 99 gs 300, spectra blue mica, 64k miles, HID's (aftermarket) and all the usual Lexus luxury items except NAVI.Plans for the car are a TTE front lip, TTE...

Long story short, started noticing starter making funny noises, fluid leaking out of driver side axle hole and after investigating, noticed that the top rear bolt for the tranny (top one closest to the 2 starter bolts) was missing. Replaced it but it won't tighten.So i need to helicoil it...

I only have a boost gauge and i don't want to use an a pillar pod. I have seen 1gs with gauges in the cluster like pictured below. So has anyone done this with a 2g? Is there a spot i can cut out for a gauge that won't cut any connections and make some of the factory gauges not work? I was...

Background: My car is a 98 tsi awd with a 6 bolt with 2g pistons, turbonetics 50 trim etc. I accidentally cut the ISC wire that goes to the ECU while using plyers to unplug the ECU plugs so there's no more idle control. I have been using the simulate idle switch feature in dsmlink and it works...

This was my first shootout and i saw license plates from pretty much EVERYWHERE. So, who drove the farthest just to watch a bunch of pieces of shits run down the 1/4? ROFL I came from Philly and it took us about 8 hours each way.Let's hear it.

My buddy is a ECU guy and he is curently working on something and he asked me to find down at what Hz level does the 2g mas get overrun.Thanx,T

The black 98 tsi awd is mine, the 97 gsx and the 97 Tsi are friends. None of the cars were washed, just a spur of the moment thing while at a BBQ today.

I know gt4 is about road racing but i do alot of 1/4 mile runs. Jus wondering what kind of times people are getting cause its pretty fun and challenging to try different setups to drop a tenth or 2 at a time. :)So far the 2 fastest 1/4 mile cars for me have been the STI SPEC C and the 205...

I beat the first 6 or so and it got too hard all of a sudden. Its hard to play it all in a-spec but the b-spec guy is a little dumb lol. When another car is in front on a stragithaway it tends to hit the brakes instead of going around, i mean c'mon its racing not cruising.Anyways, has anyone...

Hey guys,As some of you know, i just fixed my oil in coolant problem, it was a loose oil cooler shaft. Yesterday, the car started acting up again :roll: It wont go in gear with the clutch pressed in and car running. I can shut the car off and put it in any gear i want. I tried adjusting...

I thought that the internal cooler was basically "glued" to the oil filter housing but i just read that it is possible to just replace that without having to remove the oil filter housing. Searched but couldnt find a write up on how to do it. Anyone have a write up or has anyone done it? How...

I am about to drop my 6 bolt in my 2g and do the cas wiring. I forgot to label the crank angle sensor plug so does anyone have any pictures of it or a description that could help? I have all these plugs in my engine bay and i have no idea which one is the cran angle sensor plug.Thanx

Ok i got this motor that i am trying to put on an engine stand to get it ready to drop in. The problem is i cant get the damn flywheel off. We tried everyting from trying to break the bolts loose by hand to using a huge compressor and nice gun on it tonite....no success. Only 1 of them came out...

I just got the head cleaned, checked and decked so its ready for the install. The block has the internals so no machine shops want to deck the surface for me. What can i do to clean the residue and have a pretty clean/flat surface before installing the head? Ill be using arps with the stock...

Hey guys, I am tuning my car and id like some input on my log. I am running a 50 trim at 18psi with all supporting mods except a fuel pressure regulator. I would like to turn it up to 20 psi eventually but i want to get it right at 18 psi first. This is on 94 octane. I am tuning with an afc...

A while back i overtightened one of the return line bolts and broke the head of the bolt off. It has been leakin but slow enough to where it didnt really matter. However, i will be installing a new return line in about a week. Should i try to drill the bolt out or should i just replace the oil...

Does anyone make a coupler that goes from the injen intake size to a 3inch to fit a 50 trim? I would like to avoid buying a new intake pipe right away since i am on a budget.Thanx

So this morning i go to start my car, it cranks and wants to start but doesnt. Popped the hood and checked, everything seems in place. One thing i did notice was a black thick oil on my egt probe when i took it out. I could smell fuel out the exhaust so i think its gettin fuel. I didnt pull the...

I would like to know more about this putting the VIN into CAPS to find out which style bearing i have cause i have a 1998 talon which was built in july of 1997 according to the sticker in my door jam.

Hey guys,I have the opportunity to pick up some rims for my car at a decent price and id like to see how it looks. I have seen all the photoshops done and some of you have mad talent. Can u guys do a photoshop of these http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/exel/h50-silver.htm on my car...

The threading on my manifold got messed up from heat and removing the proble several times to work on the car and to replace it once. Now my egt probe pops out when i go wot. My temporary fix was to put back the heatshield on and i drilled a hole for the probe but not too big so dat it holds it...

I want to see a 97-98 talon with the 97-99 eclipse front end but no sideskirts. I have seen lots of pictures but they all have the sideskirts. I just bought the 97-99 bumper and lights but no sideskirts and id like to kno how it is going to look or if i should wait to purchase sideskirts.Thanx

i am now ready to buy a 50 trim for my car. I have all the mods necesary to run it except for the injectors which i will order very soon. I am looking to get an internally gated 50 trim turbo dat will bolt up to the stock manifold. What are my options? Any advice along with websites and prices...
