saw a clean very clean wingless white 2gb with fmic, evo mr wheels on 48th ave in sf, next to ocean beach. i was dropping my guitar off on that street to have it worked on and saw that beauty.

timing is good, compression is 190 across. i dont have a boostleak tester at the moment but i dont think a boost leak would cause it to be like this because i can still drive it and rev it high. i switched out plugs and wires with my friends and still same result.

I bought the car from a friend a few months ago and everything seemed ok. But not too long after, when i start the car in the morning, the idle would drop really low and i would have to keep gasing it for about 15 seconds before it goes back to normal. sounds like a bad isc? my friend did...

####ing ricer sti. wants to make it the loudest possible..ROFL!

dam dude....6 months of them trying to fix it? they must not know what they're doing! I duno what's wrong with your car, but I'm willing to bet it happened while your car was at that shop. Was it like that when you brought it in?

you've been given more than enough info to make an informative decision man. like everyone says, unless your planning to rev past 8k and to the moon then you should be ok. but having the upgraded springs wouldn't hurt.

now photoshop the car slammed. it will look sick!

edwin, how much power does the fftec sticker put out? i know for a fact the i-vtec stickers will give u that killer 3rd gear vtackkk pull! i kid i kid..lol

I had both the regular 16g and evo3 also. the regular seems to be louder.

I think the symborski shift kit is overrated. my bushings weren't bad to begin with but I had to see what they hype is all about. it was loud and made the shifter clunky. I prefer the stock or urethane. it shifts smoother than the symborski does.

lol..........

good job edwin. was that on the massive 255 tires? guess you had pretty good traction with those. you should skip the 35r and go ahead with the 37r/t67 and shoot for 9s!

I guess the uicp on the fmic kit is different cus the tb on mine was thin aluminum like u said

good job first time at track! 60ft is pretty good. but with more practice looks like u can dip into the 11s with the way the car is.I assume that's a bolt-on gt30r or t3 gt30r? how do u like it on the street?

u sure its great? I got their uicp for my 1g and its crap. the bov flange bent when I tried to installed the bov cus the aluminum material they use is too soft. same goes for the tb flange. so I just tossed it. worst 100 bucks I've ever spent. I'm sure their fmic kit piping uses the same...

555s are crap. I had 225/50/15 bfgs and they were great. I ran them at about 14psi or so. it does feel like an awd..haha! I got consistent 2.1 60fts on ebay coilovers and stock shocks..lol

I duno if I can say this in these forums but I ordered the punishment 1g uicp and that thing is as soft as JELLO. when I tried to mount the bov to it, the flange bent. when I tried to mount the tb elbow to the tb, the flange on that bent as well! and I'm sure their fmic kit uses the same...

ets looks good. but if you want to save a bit money, go with ssac 2g kit. have the driverside endtank flipped if you want to use it for a 1g. my friend has made over 400awhp on a mustang dyno with a 35r.

is this still on the 3052?:confused: havent really followed your car, but nonetheless...great job!:thumb:

boostedinaz...i didn't think 1gs could pull off 18" wheels, but your car rocks!

I never got a chance to run slicks on my old gst with a big 16g setup. but I did have the bfg drag radials in 225/50/15. they are hands down better than the 555s. it almost feels like an awd..lol. this was on ebay coilovers and stock shocks. I netted consistent 2.1 60fts. I guess with some...

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA...LMFAO! I can see that happening..LOL

looks goood jake. we're a bunch for flakers...saying we're gonna go race or watch but end up not going.now how about some videos?

thanks guys. fixed it. had to drop the turbo and everything. it turned out that the o-ring was bad so when i was prying it out with a screw driver, it broke off a bit. after it was out i bent it and it started cracking all around. i got an extra oring from a friend and that seemed to have solved...

ok...I'm going to go to the local parts store and look for it before I take it apart. what is it called? rubber oring for water pump?

ahh..thats what I thought. would I have to remove the turbo and stuff or could I jus get around it?

yup that one. my friend says I can just remove the oring without taking the pipe off? I don't see how I can do that.

omg...one problem after another! I think that was how my alternator died on me last night.its the big waterpipe attatched to the front of the block. its leaking from the part where the water pipe goes into another hole or thing, which is right under the power steering housing or whatever its...

lets go luis....count me in. cant miss the famous evil eagle! im lookin foward to that 8 sec pass Jake!

sounds good

My motor has about 175k. Although nothing is wrong with it id like to have the peace and mind of it not blowing up. I know theres full fuction in union city but its going to cost an arm and a leg and i just dont have that kind of fundROFL . You'll probably say you get what you pay for but...

couldn't make it out there...but congrats on the 12s danny. did u run your car dave?

if my tb gaskets come in by wednesday from sbr, which they should...ill be heading out there as well if my boostleak is fixed. hoping to break 12s too

good job!

yeah rethreading the hole would be better

I bought 7bolt arp head studs intending to use this head just to find out most of the manifold stud holes are stripped, so I want a new head. so if I want a 6bolt head I'd need 6bolt head studs?(easier heads to find than 1g 7bolts)

I have a 94 gsx with the 1g 7-bolt. will a 1g 6-bolt head bolt on without any kind of alterations?

ohhkay...thats what I wanted to here, thanks! I actually went to autozone to have it tested while the alternator is in the car but they were short on people inside the store, so they couldn't come outside and test it.

so my alternator shitted on me yesterday(battery light came on while I was on the freeway). I had a spare used one laying around so I swapped it out(battery light is off now). I started the car and then disconnected the power cable, the car dies. I assumed that alternator was bad too. so I...

I heard u didn't have to break in puck style discs so I didn't on my current one. do u have to break it in or not?

I have a Clutchnet sprung 6 puck with stock pressure plate on a 1g awd. it chattered a bit at first when I just got it in. but after learning to drive on it for a bit.....no more chattering. no slipping or anything(then again...im not makin 400whp). pedal pressure is like the 2100 but grabs...

I currently run an o2 dump on a evo 16g. I don't hear anything until full boost. I love the sound of external wastegate/o2 dump. for those who think its annoying, u must hit full boost every block.dam evo3 and its boost creep...guess ill be picking up a pte bb 50 trim.

right

werd

it sounds like an exhaust leak, but hey...dont tell me u dont love that sound? its very imtimidating haha

thanks man

i think they fell off my caliper bracket somehow when my brake pads were dissentegrating. does mistu or any other vendors have them?thanks

how might i remove that 2nd half of the brake line? the part highlighted in yellow is too short, so i cant get the wrench to hold on.its this brake problem that ive had for a while now. my rotor and pads are toasted. caliper doesnt seem to be releasing like it should, and once again seized...

did a boost leak test earlier and its only able to hold 4psi. its leaking from the valve cover gasket and a little of the jpipe. but theres another one i cant find, seems to be leaking the most. its down there by the alternator or somewhere around there. i mean i dont think there are any intake...
