  1. Car is being troublesome.

    Same difference :pAutomatic.Wagman: I didn't try anything... it just started clicking at me and killing the engine.- Camel :laser:
  2. Car is being troublesome.

    Okay, this piece of sh*t is going to get a bullet soon...I am fixing damn near everything, new battery, new oil, new headlights, new water pump, etc...NOW, it clicks at me and kills ignition... it'll stop running altogether while it clicks, but then kick back on.the thing is...
  3. Blackouts...

    Well, the one manufacturer of blackouts that I know of is GTS, and they don't make blackouts for the rear of 1st gen. cars...Would it be a safe bet to just lay a layer of window tint over the rear taillights, and then get the front blackout pieces, or no?- Camel.
  4. neon lighting [Merged 5-7]

    Two things...1. Hide everything... cord, bulb, etc.2. Wouldn't you run the risk of melting something to do with the bulb or the wires, due to the fact that very hot air will be blowing through it?- Camel.
  5. For those who have a colored C/F hood.

    1gfromND... what part of the state are you from?- Camel. :laser:
  6. Bodykit info...

    I want the measurements so that I know how much fiberglassing I have to do. And I want to know the main differences in the body shape, so that I know how I will have to fsck with it.Also, thanks for the thread hijacking, Disturbed-TSI:p... but there's actually a post on this forum that...
  7. Why are people so afraid of Bondo?

    No, you got it.I always say "Bondo" when I'm talking about body filler... it's like Band Aid and Kool Aid... you say the brand, but mean the product. :p- Camel.
  8. Painting a CF hood

    Yeah, I know... but wouldn't you rather keep a CF hood looking like CF to show off that you have CF on your car, or would you get a bunch of CF parts, and paint them all (adding more weight, albiet not much)???I think not.And yes, the Ricers got their hands on CF and made it all for...
  9. trouble with dent in pass. fender

    Fist to the opposing side, then bondo.I swear by that stuff. :p- Camel :laser:
  10. Bodywork estimate

    And why not? if it is just plain white, you go buy a can of just plain white, spray down, spray another few layers, clear coat, and you're done!- Camel :laser:
  11. Why are people so afraid of Bondo?

    Well, it's not that hard... all you have to know is how to do it, and what to do...1. Start by buying a good cheese grater (not the kind found in the Kitchen ware section at Wal-Mart), and some 80-grit sandpaper.2. prep the area with 80-grit and make sure it's down only into the clear...
  12. Why are people so afraid of Bondo?

    Every "tuners" forum I go to and suggest Bondo, everyone bites my head off for liking it!Here's the facts people...1. Body shops use it... If you have any hail damage, your body shop will "replace" all the replacable parts... then, they'll FILL YOUR ROOF DENTS WITH BONDO!2. It's...
  13. Bodywork estimate

    ... it'll take about $7.25...1 pint: Bondo Body filler, $2.75 1 small can: white spray paint, $1.50 1 small can: ClearKote, $3.00Wal Mart pwns, dude... and the best part about it is, you don't pay extra if some idiot screws it up!- Camel :laser:
  14. rethinking the kit?

    Bondo Body Filler Bondo Fiberglass thread repair kit Bondo Fiberglass repair kitPick one. Now..Screws and Screwdriver and drill and bits double-sided hardcore 3M tape and drill and bitsPick one. Now...$1170 for the shop to do it $20 bucks for Bondo supplies, $3.00 in...
  15. Debadged the rear faccad; leftover shadow???

    I think just about all sticker debadges on a 2+ yr old car will do that... The Laser did that, and so did Joe's Impulse.- Camel. :laser:
  16. Painting a CF hood

    sorry, man... I can't agree with you on this... I think painting any carbon fiber piece would just seem a bit daft... CF parts were mainly designed for the look of carbon fiber parts. painting the hood would totally blow that scheme.Plus, you're reading my opinions... Carbon Fiber is my...
  17. Opions on tail lights please

    I dunno... I don't really like the idea of clear taillights, but that last one (the one without the middle section) isn't too bad.I still don't know... I think clear taillights are annoying, ricey, and otherwise ugly, but to each his own.- Camel :laser:
  18. auto to 5-speed swap

    nice! Now, I don't have to ask when I do my swap! :p- Camel :laser:
  19. She died...

    got her back home and threw the battery charger on her out of curiosity... she started, up, but wouldn't keep on when the charger was taken off, and the battery was sucked dry within approx 1 minute...I'm quite confident that it was the alternator that went out. (WHEW! At least it wasn't...
  20. She died...

    no, the temp gauge went down, then she died at the stop sign... I'm thinking the engine is locked up, because I went back out to her about 5 minutes ago (about an hour after she died), and she was cooled down a bit... a lot better than she was originally doing (frying eggs, cooking steak, etc)...
  21. She died...

    Well, today I was driving the Laser around, and at first she seemed to maybe have a touch of the nasty C-word... lots of sputtering, and a low-end sounding knock. The knock could've been the precat's internals (think red swiss cheese), but I'm not sure...I was cruising down the road out by...
  22. Best Blue?

    I'm liking my factory blue, but I just might repaint mine a different blue as well... I am thinking I'll just go look at palates when she's ready for paint.Of course, ready for paint means after the body kit, sex change, engine/drivetrain replacement, and stereo install.- Camel. :laser:
  23. Tsi and GSX differences?

    The Superbee was actually, in fact, the "Coronet Superbee." The whole thing Dodge had with their cars back then was a Bee, whereas Chevy had the SS, Ford had Boss, etc... The Bee emblem stated stock superiority... like the Eclipse GS vs. the Eclipse GSX.Plymouth, on the other hand, had...
  24. Someone keeps breaking into my car

    Not necessarily... unless you hit some weaker plastic parts, or the interior.Hell, I shot my truck up with paintballs one day, and they didn't do any harm... all I had to do was hose the truck off.The paint in paintballs doesn't dry for a LOOOONG time, and even then, you can get it off...
  25. Work in Progress pics

    I'm with stock1g4g63... I dislike that kit, mainly due to the fact that it's a failed attempt at trying to make the rear look like a Poopra.To each his own, I guess. This is only my $.02, and would like to contribute it.- Camel. :laser:
  26. is there any way to get this off my car.....

    Nail Polish remover, or go for the bigger guns, like Lacquer thinner, Mineral Spirits, or Wood alcohol... all three are potent chemicals, so watch out... don't wanna be smelling that crap for TOO long. :thumbdown- Camel :laser:
  27. how much to get A/C for my 91 talon tsi

    Screw the AC... without AC, it it keeps a bit of hp readily available... just with the AC compressor in, you'll be running about 5hp less... turn it on, and watch the hp just DROP.I use 2-40 AC... 2 windows down at 40 mph.... works alright for me!- Camel :laser:
  28. Bodykit info...

    no, and Fiberglass is cheap... I can patch and mod the bodykit for about $20 bucks... plus the $300-$500 for the kit itself.Trust me, I am an experienced fiberglasser... since the 5th grade, I've been fiberglassing... I'm past senior year now. ;) I'm experienced in fiberglassing... hell, I'm...
  29. engine bay colors, pick one

    Neither... Paint/polish what you need to paint/polish (suggested in many replies) and run red all over... red hoses, red plug wires, red on the cam cover, etc.I'm doing my exterior all blue (blue headlights, blue paint, blue calipers, etc...) and my engine bay is going to be blue sheet metal...
  30. Female Car Modifications

    No, you can't... there's a chick here that had her mommy and daddy buy her car, and paint it all pink, and throw pink underglow, and a pink wing, and pink accent tubes, and pink seat covers... she named the car after a pink sex toy. I feel SOOO sorry for that car! I want to steal it and de-rice...
  31. Bodykit info...

    Hey, I'm just wondering...What are the measurements of the 1gb bodies/bodykits compared to the 2g bodies/bodykits... I was looking at the Cyber kit, and I'd love to get that sucker to fit on my car. I want to know what kind of modifications I will have to do to the kit to get it to fit... I...
  32. Info...

    hey, I'm wondering where to get info, like what models came with what engines, what the difference between certain engines are, drivetrain info of any and all sorts, chassis info, etc... where can I find this?In the Isuzu world, we have Bill's Isuzuperformance, and a valued select few...
  33. Forum question... (Incl. a part request)

    **Slaps self**Sorry... forgot about the classifieds. :|Thanks, though.
  34. Probably a repost, but...

    Ricers with Attitude and mad rhymin'! :laugh: :laugh:http://www.angelfire.com/tn3/kaitlyn/McNasty- Camel :laser: :dsm: :talon:
  35. Forum question... (Incl. a part request)

    I need to put this in the right forum section... Either way, I still need that visor.- Camel :dsm: :laser: :talon:Yeh, classifieds.
  36. Help me keep my car!

    You could always ask her if she would rather you have a turbo'd car, or a Crotch Rocket!Or, you could tell her about the "Base model Eclipses of the year being close to the same speed" or the line that "there's a million and one things on this earth that will kick this car's ass" line... or...
  37. DSM Owner!

    Well, I sold my 1992 lowered P'up... Ironically, the car that came up just after it was the 1994 Laser RS that is now sitting in my driveway... Today after cruising for a bit, the car starts smoking... I pop the hood and let her cool down for about an hour... Joe (like an idiot) pops the coolant...
  38. Your definition of a Fast car – can we agree?

    I'd say the same about 1/4 time, but speed... I'd go 125 or 135... going 115 in my Dakota was fast, but going 130 in Joe's Impulse from Bismarck to Jamestown (98mi. drive), is just not as fast-feeling as the Dakota was.... maybe it's something to do with me expecting less of the Dakota.
  39. Introduction...

    Because the Auto Laser is the only 1g DSM for sale around here, and I dislike the 2g Eclipses/Talons... Plus, it's the cheapest DSM around (under $5,000.00)... Mainly due to the fact that it is a 1st gen, and I need a cheap winter driver for now while I rebuild my Impulse, and the Laser is a...
  40. Introduction...

    Just had to introduce myself...Hello. I'm Camel, and I will be purchasing a 1992 Laser RS (Auto FWD N/T) for a winter beater... until I get my Isuzu done, then I'll start on the Laser.Anyway, I am wondering if there are any taillight blackouts for a 1992 Laser... I'll be doing some major...
