My talon has a few big dents in the drivers side rear quarter panel. I am looking to find a cheap way to repair this. Is removing the rear quarter panel hard? What tools would it take? What would it cost usually to have this panel replaced at a shop? Also, what do I need to prep my own car...
I was installing a hks tb elbow and in the process of taking out the nuts on the tb, I broke the idle switch off. I have never heard of the idle switch before, but just read that it tells the engine how to idle. Is this an easy fix? I searched the classifieds and there weren't any for sale...

I have recently compiled a pile of parts to be installed on my car in the next few weeks. And I was wondering if 550's and a S-afc 1 would be enough to push it? I'm looking to get 300awhp. Also wondering if I would have to re-wire my fuel-pump or no? What would be the next upgrades I should...
I heard that the ACT 2600 is for awd, and the 2100 is for fwd. Is this true? If not, can I get a ACT 2100? I found them pretty cheap on ebay with the kit. Does it matter which kit I get or will any of the 2100 kits work? Thanks!Dustin
Ok, i am having trouble with getting this gauge tapped into the right line. I know it goes in the fps to the intake manifold, but being new to cars I still dont know exactly which line does. I have read all the explanations and seen all the pictures posted on this but I still can't figure it...
Hey, i've recently started using a datalogger. I'm still learning what everything means and what values are the best to see. I am given the option to use the 02-R and 02-F. I see that everyone else's just says 02. Which one do I use for tuning? When I used my 02-F, I just get a reading of...
I just did my first log with my logger. I don't know how to get the log onto the computer? What are the ideal numbers for a log? I showed up to 45 degrees of timing at one point and averaged around 23 degrees! Isnt this bad? what could be the cause? I also showed up to 29 counts of knock at...
Hey, I am having problems putting my car into gear when the car is on. The transmission was working fine, then one day I went to drive it and when the car was on it grinded really bad when I went to put it into any gear. When the car is off, I can shift it into any gear. I read about...
i recieved my fuel pump rewire kit off of ebay and when it got here it came with directions for a 2g. I have a 1g. Will this work on my car? What would I need to make it work? Thanks.Dustin
The roof of my 1gb talon is rusting really bad. It has already eaten away the first layer of metal/paint? And there is rust under the top layer. Is it common to replace the roof? Could I do it myself? Is there something I can fix it with, such as bondo? Any help is appreciated, thanks...
I just hooked up my boost gauge to my car and I turned the car on and gave it a few high revs and the boost gauge needle isnt moving at all! It is a lotek gauge. Do I have it teed into the wrong line in the engine bay? If the hose isnt on the tee very tight, will that cause it to not read...
Hey, I have a 1992 eagle talon tsi. I am looking to replace my rear bumper because it was damaged in an accident. I was wanting to know if any 1g bumper will be a direct replacement for mine, or do I specifically have to find a 92 tsi bumper? Thanks for your help.Dustin
Hey, the bolts in my downpipe have backed all the way out and were lost. My question is where can I get new bolts for it and if there is a gasket or something I need to use when re-bolting it. Btw, its a stock downpipe if that matters. Thanks!
Hey guys, My bolts came loose on my downpipe and fell out, so now my downpipe hangs about 5 inches from my 02 housing. I have noticed considerable gains running it like this. The noise is crazy and there is tons of smoke coming out of the hood. I dont have my boost guage installed yet, so my...
I was looking in my engine today because my car has been acting up(idle surges like crazy and dies sometimes). I ran across this wire(right next to altenator) and this plug(by the exhaust manifold). Does anyone know what they connect to or if they need to be connected. I just had a mechanic...
Im changing the spark plug wires and spark plugs out this week, and I want to know if you can get decent ones at any car part stores? What would you suggest without having to order them? Thanks!
I bought an used exhaust from boostin 1g and he has never sent it!!! Does anybody know him? I know his name is Nate. And since he hasnt sent my exhaust and its been close to 5 months now, I am thinking about unbolting the exhaust after the downpipe. I live in Kansas, and from what I know so...
Hey, I have an oil leak and today I spotted it. The only problem I have is I dont know what the part leaking is. To explain the location, it is directly under all the belts under the car right above the little brass piece that kinda looks like a small wastegate or something. It looks like it...
