Hey guys, did some searching, but couldn't find anything on my problem. Just started driving my 1G again after about a year of it being parked. It still starts right up and runs fine. However, I failed the idle emissions test horribly and that has never happened before. Went home, checked CEL...

So I bought a new turbo on ebay a while ago, and I'm having trouble deciphering what turbo it actually is. The listing said that it was a big 16g. It also said that it was an evo III 16g. I've done a lot of searching on google, and haven't had much luck with anything. What I really need is...

So I'm driving down the highway the other day in cruise control when my tranny decides to take a crap on itself. I hear a slight pop, then notice my car decelerate for a brief moment, then try and re-establish its speed through the cruise control. I pulled over the car to check under the hood...

So I just got finished doing my rear suspension on my 1g. I have Tein lowering springs, and KYB AGX shocks. Problem is, I think I'm assembling the spring/strut wrong. When the car is all put together, there is a lot of movement in the shock assembly, as if I'm missing a spacer, or have just...

So back in the day, I did the half-ass sleepy eye mod on my 1g. They've been sitting at halfway up for about a year now. My buddy accidentally leaned on one of the headlights a couple weeks ago, and now I can't get it to stay in any sort of up position at all. If I use the manual knob, it...

So this started yesterday, to my knowledge. Basically, I tested the system while the car was running, and the battery was being charged at 20 volts! Obviously that's way above the 14 that it's supposed to be at. My question is this: Since the problem is most likely with the voltage...

So I took my old headliner out a while back becuause it was completely falling apart. My plan was to eventually get it re-covered with some better fabric. Well, months upon months of the headliner sitting behind my couch, my cats wound up wrecking it into about 30 different size pieces. Where...

So after doing some searching, I couldn't really find what I was looking for, so here goes. I've recently developed a very small, pinhole size, leak in one of my rubber power steering hoses. I obviously need to replace it, but I'm not sure where the line goes exactly. I can follow the hose...

So i'm not totally familiar with the DSM scene here in Tucson, but I know there are a lot of guys with DSM's down here. I see a lot of stuff going on in Phoenix, but I was thinking of hosting a possible bbq/meet here in Tucson. I'm moving into a house in the next couple of months and it would...

So this just started happening recently. At WOT in 4th and 5th gear ONLY, my car will drop RPM's and Boost simultaneously. It almost feels like the clutch starts to slip. The drop isn't that drastic - maybe about 500-600 RPM's. It will drop for a couple of seconds, then start to climb again...

So coming home from the bars the other night, my headlights, interior lights, and all my accessories start to go really dim like my car is having trouble charging the battery. Obviously, my first guess is that the alternator is going bad and needs replacing. So after barely making it home that...

Since I can no longer post in any forum except this one, here's my question...........what suspension setup are you guys out there running? I'm looking for a nice setup that handles nice but won't kill me daily driving. I've noticed that a lot of guys run the KYB's but I'm looking for...

so I have some aftermarket reverse glow gauges for my gauge cluster, along with a boost gauge and an A/F gauge in my pillar pod. I have two seperate questions, so here goes:1. What's the best way to wire the power to the gauges so that they don't flicker with the turn signals?2. My...

Okay guys, this might be hard to explain, but I'll do my best.This has only happend I think 3 times in the last month, but it's got me worried that I have a problem. I'll be cruising like normal in 4th or 5th gear and then downshift to 3rd to pass a car (or whatever other reason). Only...

I'm replacing my stock foglight switch with an aftermarket rocker. The only problem is, how is the wiring done? On the stock switch, there are 4 wires, as on my aftermarket switch, there are only 3 terminals. I can pretty easily figure out the ground and power wires coming from the stock...

so I basically just got offered a job to work for the family business back east in Maryland as a manager of one of their departments. The business is called maryland mustang. they are the largest wholesale distributor of classic mustang parts in the U.S. So basically, I have the opportunity...

So my car overheated for the first time since I've had her last night. Checked the coolant, and for some reason, it was bone dry. Also, I could hear some sort of crackling/bubbling coming from behind the head down by the intake manifold. Am I lookin at a head gasket replacement? If so, this...

couldn't decide if this should go in the hangout or the newbie forum, so sorry if I picked the wrong one. I'm looking for a good sounding aftermarket muffler. I already have 3" turbo back exhaust with a test pipe. The muffler currently on there is some custom piece of crap that doesn't look...

Hey guys, I already searched on this, but only one thread came up and nobody had replied to it. I want to take this rear wing off and re-paint it myself since it's all faded. Anybody know how to remove it with out causing any damage?

I was once told by a very knowledgable DSM owner that the 420a cars are not considered DSM's because they didn't come out of the same factory as the 4G63's. is this true? The reason I ask is because DSM was the joint venture between Mitsubishi and Chrysler to make the Eclipses, Lasers, and...

So I raced an Integra V-tec last night. Didn't think it was going to be much of a race, but suprisingly, he hung about 3 cars back since the start. Of course I had the jump on him, but he didn't really fall that far behind once he gained traction. We both slowed down and he proceeded to pull...

Ya, neither have I...................funny story......................The other night, I ran into a guy I had met earlier who had a V-TEC prelude (who by the way, I beat) but this night he was driving an F-body with an LT-1 under the hood. We get to talking and wind up at this middle school...

So I just picked up a little kitten but can't think of what to name him. Thought I'd post up here and get some suggestions from you guys. He's about 12 weeks old and is orange and white, tiger striped. Right now he's pretty much afraid of the whole world. What do ya think guys?

Does anybody know of a repair that can be done to fix the plastic rivets on the door handle bezels. After taking the door panels off to replace the speakers, I noticed that the reason my bezels don't sit right in the door panel is because the plastic rivets are all broken off on the backside...

Hey guys, I'm looking to paint my stock 1g rims and leave the lip polished (so i hear a lot of you do) but I don't really know what kind of paint to use. Any recommendations? I'm looking to go with a dark, gunmetal color.

Looking to do repair or replace my motor mounts really soon but I'm debating on what to do. Just wondering what other guys out there are doing. Im trying to decide whether to buy the polyurethane inserts or just use the caulking that they sell. Has anybody had any experience with these and...

This has happened twice now since we got the car running, but under high boosting, I've blown the down pipe off of the cat. The first time I put it back together, I pretty much tightened the clamps as much as I could and it still wound up blowing off again. It's got those C-clamp type deals...

Anyone have any pictures of trim kits on their 1g's? I'm looking to either install a trim kit or add some sort of 2-tone color to the interior. Obviously to match the exterior paint scheme of dark blue and black.

I've been driving my 1g for about a week now since we rebuilt the head and just today I noticed a slight coolant leak that I cannot pinpoint. Hopfully someone here has had a similar problem and can help out. When I pop the hood, I immediately notice coolant pooled up on top of the turbo. the...

Just wondering if anybody out there knows how to allow the fog lights to be turned on with the headlights being on.
