I recently had a PTT Twin Disc installed along with the modified Isuzu Slave but haven't really driven the car that much since, although on my short trips around the block I noticed a few issue's.The first is that on most downshifts with the clutch peddle fully depressed the tranny will...
Well I need to trim up my 97-99 front bumper to fit my FMIC before I get it painted.I plan on cutting out that piece at the top of the bumper opening. Now when I trimmed my stock bumper it was warm out and I used an X-acto knife to struggle through it, now that it's cold there's no way I am...
When I'm in the middle of doing the rear end swap and I got to the point where I need to extend the wires for the reverse lights. I finished that up but then I realized that they were actually the lights that sit over top of the license plate and light it up at night but then they share the same...
When I push in the clutch I hear a God Awful metal on metal screeching sound and the rpm's drop.Adjusting the clutch doesn't help and the fluid is full, no signs of any leaks from the slave or master.Any Explanation?
I have been Running my ETS kit pretty much since they first came out. It has Performed great for me, but over the years it has suffered some damage (aka the Dealership smashed it up pretty good and refused to pay) Also being the older kit it is only 2.8" thick where the new Pro Race Cores are...
I was bored and found some Old dyno sheets I had lying around so I decided to "overlay" them for some comparison.The Drawn on Lines are what car car put down with a 50 trim, Stock cams/IM at 24psi. Real Dyno is what my car did with a 50 trim at 26psi, FP2X's/ Magnus SMIM.
So are Surge ports just for looks or what?Once I turned up the boost on my GT3561 past 21psi it starts surging, now this with with the Surge Ported T04S Cover.Anyone care to explain?
I recently Installed a used Aeromotive AFPR, even since the car now takes a good 6-8 cranks to fire. I figured the FPR must not be holding the pressure so I watched the gauge and shut off the car, pressure immediately drops to 0. Is this something that can be fixed or is the whole Unit pooched?
Well the Girlfriend writes her last Exam on the 19th and her and I have decided to go some place warm for a nice week of relaxation. Now we don't have passports so we are limited to the Dominican and Mexico.As you can kinda tell we are going to do it last minute style to save some Money so...
Well I know everyone likes a turbo pic or 2...I finally got around to pulling the good ol' 50 trim off the car. This turbo was awesome, probably about 5 years old now and I'm the second 2G to get into the 11's on it...but it was time to move on.The exact turbo is an ETE32 which most of...
I'm thinking about changing up my Rims. I'm looking for something 17x8 with around a 42mm offset, the lighter the better but I don't have a huge budget to work with...I don't seem to be having much luck looking around so if anyone has any idea's feel free to post em up.
Well I recently picked up a new hatch as mine is being eaten alive. I think I wanna go wingless but I could also do the 95-96 or 97-98 Talon Spoilers, what does everyone think ?
I'm thinking about converting my Talon to an Eclipse and I see "stock" front and rear bumpers for sale all over Ebay.Like this one for ExampleI was wondering if anyone has any experience with these and if so what is the fit/finish and overall quality like??I'm at the point where i'm...

Well I parked my car today and got the beater out. As I opened the door and got in I was greated by the stench of rotting dead animal :barf:Looked all over the inside and under the hood, in the trunk etc. and can't find anything so that leads me to believe its somewhere in the ventilation...
Over the Past few weeks I've had two big mistakes happen that should have killed my motor...1st one was about 3 weeks ago when my Buddy pulled his DSMLink out of his car and we put it in mine to do some tuning to see exactly what settings I would need for a chip.I zero'd out my S-AFC and we...
Well Since my sticker expired in August I thought it would probably be a good idea to get off my lazy butt and throw my 3" High flow cat in my Exhaust and see if it would pass.Made no changes to the S-AFC or anything and I kinda figured that the FP2X's and Magnus with no EGR or anything...
My friends and I took the 2 hour trek to our local AWD Dyno.This particular dyno is an AWD Mustang(exactly the same as Buschurs) and they are pretty notorious for reading low numbers.I made 323AWHP last year at 24psi on the stock intake mani/cams/TB, I have since added a Magnus/FP2X's/1G TB...
Well I headed up to the track tonight along with my buddy PaulS (60-1, 272's, SMIM, DSMLink) and we did a couple 4th gear pulls on the highway that were pretty much even (both at 25psi on pump gas) so I knew the car was working good.Got to the track and put about 2 gallons of 110 in. Let the...
