I am in the process of doing a manual to auto conversion. I have most everything I need, but the donor car's harness as been cut. The donor transmission is from a 94 and used 2 plug tcu. I have both a two plug and a three plug one available, would like to use the three because it is an eprom...

Well, it will come a time when i will repaint my car, and I was wonder, what color do you guys suggest. I was thinking gray flames on a white(like the go around the hood, probably look really good). But then i had this crazy idea with going with a laser red and doing some fancy design in black.

I was wondering, what would be the best way to take off a stripped flywheel bolt. Keep in mind, drilling is my last resort. I DO NOT want to do that.

I recently bought another dsm and it came with a turbo I can not identify.At first I thought it was a t25. But when I started to look at it more closely, I figured out I hadn't a clue what I have. It has oil and coolent lines like a mitsubishi style turbo. There are no markings on the...

I'm not sure if I just suck at searching or there isn't really anything out there, but I couldn't find anything on light weight racing rims that are for a decent price.Of course I belive you pay for what you get, but I am having a hard time grasping $500 a rim. I mostly was lookng for a...

I've got a 91 tsi awd and was wonder does it matter where the vacuum lines on the transmission go to? Or can I just block them off? They were taken off and not marked.

Suspension is my weak point at the moment, I really don't have to much experience in it. I'm interested in upgrading the suspension in my 95 tsi awd. It sees a good amount of drag racing, but I evently want to try my luck in auto-x.Anyway, I was looking a couple different setup. One...

Hey, I am not typicaly one to say something like this, but I am torn between converting my car to the 97-98 talon look, or converting to to look like an eclipse(or just trading for an eclipse.Now, putting money issues aside, I am looking for what people think would look better. It's not...

The offical DIY thread. This is the time you adventurous people to show off your stuff. I'm talking about making your own performance modifications. I'm a DIY person, and am curious to see what everyone else has done. Post away! I'd post the exhaust I just made, but my digi ain't here.

Well, today was my first day at the track and I brought the 2g. Made quite a few runs, but my best, and also my first was 9.4(1/8 mile)

This is kinda of a knoob question comming from me, but I need to know how to tell the difference between a t25 and a t28. Like you just measure the fins correct? If so, how big are the t-28s?

Hey, I was just curious if anyone has ever had a problem with CREBOtech and buying rebuilt ISC?Now I don't want specific instances, just yes or a no would work. If you want to get specific, please PM me. Thanks.

What ya all think? I am trying to make something that I can put in the dash to make my interior look stock.http://www.dakotadigital.com/Detail.cfm/-/Category=173/PartNumber=SLX-09-1/product.htm

I was looking around at engine bay of my 2g today, and I found 3 connectors not connected. There are right behind the throttle body close to the fire wall. Here are some pics.

Anyone know what happened to www.myzero.com ? It had a decent amount of vfaqs on it and now is no longer there:confused:It would be kinda sad for that information to go away.

I was just wondering if anyone else had a problem with their power leather seats? The bottom of my seat can just go up and down and the adjuster doesn't do anything. I was thinking that a gear might be stripped or disconnected.Anyone else have a problem like this?~John

This problem is about the center vents in the 2gs. When the heat is all the way up, the fans on, and the climate settings set to defroster and floor, I get cold air comming from the vents. I do not want this. Anyone has a soultion/explantion for this problem? Thank you.~John

I own 2 set of rims and am looking for opinions of which ones I should keep and which I should sell.

I don't have to much experience in the field of automatic transmissions, but I have been learning fairly quickly with the talon I purchased a couple months ago.I was wondering if anyone has had an experience with aftermarket torque converters and daily driving.Thanks~John

Well i probably should stop buying shit, but I guess I like cars to much.I got a new addition to my arsenal. A 1991 eagel talon tsi AWD. 173,000 miles on the orginal engine, and she still runs nicely. Runs better than my 110,000 mile laser.The guy who previously owned this put WAY to...

I wish I knew what was going on with Todd Day and DSM.org. It seems it was just abandoned. Anyone know? Someone should take over dsm.org and talon digest before it's gone...

Well, during my engine removal, I accidently broke 1 connector and ripped a wire. The connector I broke was one for the oil pressure, and the one I ripped was the knock sensor.My question is, would splicing these wires throw my ecu off to much because of the difference in resistance?

What type of tires are best for snow. I am not to educated on this subject. I think that more tire, less rim, and skinny setup would be wanted. Am I mistaken?No I am not asking for a brand of any sort, I am asking for demisional setup. Such as the 185/65/r14(I think that whats the 14"...

I'd just like to say, my FWD turbo dsm isn't THAT bad in the snow, only when it is deep or icy i have problems with traction, other than that it handles decently.

Well, I have had a really bad morning. Feeling like I should vent, so here I go:Well, I got out of work about 2:30 and decided I'd give someone a ride home(his ride forgot him). Went out and started me car. Everythings going alright.About 1 mile down the road, I noticed that my car...

Well, I have a problem with my button lights (rear wipper, hazard, dimmer, defroster and fog)It seems that that they do not light up when the lights are on. I don't belive it is the fuse, because it is just those buttons. Any suggestion?

Hey, I was just wondering, who hear has a 5-speed tranny and a 13g? Sign in! :D(for those who don't know, i am looking for people who did the auto to manual conversion)John

Any one have any information on Avital car alarms? I found one in a car I bought, but yet the car didn't come with anything but the alarm hooked up to it. Any information would be helpfullPs. It's the champion mark II

I did a little looking around, and I couldn't seem to find the window track vfaq. My window track is off awfull bad. Any one got it?

Hey, i was wondering, anyone with a 3" exhuast have a problem with valves burning? Someone I know installed a 3" exhuast on their dsm and had that problem. Any help would be very usefull.

Hey, I was wondering, is there any black head/taillight covers for the 1gs?(92-94) And if not, is there a way to make some of your own? Thanks.~John

Have you guys ever had a moment were you lost complete interest in tunning cars to go fast? I think I just have. I have been thinking I should be more responesable. I just got my car not to long ago, and it really isn't giving me all the satisfaction that I thought it would. I am thinking...

I was wondering, where did you guys whom rebuilt your engines learn how to rebuild one?

I was driving back from getting some milk, and when I pulled into my driveway, I saw white smoke comming from the engine compartment. I sighed and figured I broke something. Poped the hood to see what it was and my engine was on fire! It wasn't to bad, just a lil flame here and there. I blew...

I don't know if this is normal, but when my car is running, I can hear air blowing at the end of the intake manifold, by the upper left side of the valve cover. Is this normal?

Damn home depot. I went there to get some abs piping, 3-3 inch coupling, and a 3-2.5 inch coupling and the didn't have the abs piping OR the 3-2.5 coupling. Just thought i'd share.(if you didn't guess, I planned on making my own intake)

Okay, I know what lsd stand for, but what is does it actually do? A couple of my co-workers said a limited slip differental makes it so one wheel spins and the other doesn't.My thoughts on it were that a lsd makes it so both tires spin evenly. Am I wrong?

Alright, here is the deal. I have a problem with my collent gauge going all wack. Say I am accelerating and I shift at like 3.5-4 grand, when I push in on the clutch, I hear a click, maybe 2 or three come from where the ecu is and my temp gauge jumps up and down, sometimes my power dims and it...

My name is john, and I have idle surge.Haha, anyway. It started out doing it every once and a while. But now it is all of the time. When I start up it stays at about 2.5K, and then goes down to bout 1100 and goes up to 1500 and back down to 1100 ovr and over and over again. I blocked off...

I was just wonder, what do you guys recomend for a quiet but very high flow 3" exhuast? Not the brand, but the type of setup (such as a high flow cat and muffler or something) I plan on making my own, but I don't want it loud :pBrands of mufflers and cats will be helpfull. How...

well, i went out this morning to replace my thermostat right? I got pretty much everything perfectly fine, untill I went to tighten down the last bolt. The head came off like a good lil bi***. So then i attempted the drill out the bolt, but that was no good cause I just sux. So now it has...

I was wondering, which lsd do you guys recomend. I don't know much about it and could use some opinions, and mostly facts :p

Alright, I got another problem here, I wonder if anyone can help.After work yesterday I started my car and proceded to leave. While I was moving, it died on my complelty(all power was cut off, wouldn't even jump start) for like five minutes and a pile of smoke came out of the engine bay. I...

I seem to be having a problem starting my car. When i go to start it (dosn't matter if it's cold or warm) it just sits there and turns over. But when I try to push start it and don't actualy start it(the engine turns over once from the push start) and then turn the key, it starts. Any...
