I decided to remove my rear body pan a while back. The only thing it was doing was holding my battery. I decided to move the battery to a better spot behind the rear bumper and remove the rear body pan. This allows me easy access to everything in the rear of the car (differential, swaybar...

Hello everyone. I drove into San Francisco yesterday and met up with a friend to check out the start of the Gumball 3000. I was very excited to see all the nice cars, and was looking forward to catching some celebrities as well. There were probably about 80 cars out there, with the highlights...

This has been an issue of mine for a while now, and after a search, did not find many people who had this problem, let alone solved it. My issue is this: design flaws with my current catch can, and others I have seen/used prior. Hopefully, after solving this problem, I would like to steer away...

Hey everyone, I do not post on 'tuners much anymore, and am not very interested in cars anymore. However, I have been a long-time member, have some friends on here, and like to check in every once in a while to see how things are going. Right now I am in Germany, with my Grandparents and...

I will make this short as I just got done finishing painting a motorcycle for a 'tuner, and am tired. All of the parts previously had 4 paintjobs, many scratches, pinholes, cracks, etc. All of the parts were stripped down, repaired where applicable, and then primed. This took me forever, as I...

Factory brake booster line on a 2g is 11/32. I am looking for a nice metal check valve that will be more resiliant than the factory valve and either fit inline, or thread into the manifold. Something similar to the MKIV Supra would be cool. There were a few threads mentioning a stronger valve...

I wanted to share my experience using ARP turbo bolts, some problems I encountered, and what I learned. Here goes:I bought a set of stainless steel ARP turbo bolts to install my FP3052 a while ago. I had installed the bolts as recommended by ARP using their moly lube. These bolts were...

I am attempting to take my car to a track day at Infineon Raceway for the first time. I have read through quite a few threads, and found a lot of great information. I would like to share a few details of my setup and get some advice pertaining more specifically to my car and me.The first...

My blower motor in my 1991 TSi AWD does not come on when I turn the fan control on. When I turn it up all the way, I can here a small silver cylindrical shaped relay click. I have checked all my fuses and do not know what to check next or what the problem is. Ideas?

I bought a Miller arc welder for $95 at Walmart. After the mask, gloves, and extra rods it was about $130. I have never welded before, so before doing my lower intercooler pipe, I practiced on a scrap. It was actually harder than I thought. The only real difficult part for me was getting the...

Here are some pictures of my GST nearly completed. I still have a lot of details that I want to take care of, but figured I would share now. I made it t-tops with a co-worker, and converted it to AWD. Among things that I would like to do still are: install the weatherstripping for the tops, get...

And the inside fusebox cover incase yours is unreadable, or like me, have removed it to fit add-a-circuit in place.

Chevron sells gas at our local airport; both 100LL and "Jet A". I looked up Jet A and got this: http://library.cbest.chevron.com/lubes/compprd9.nsf/0/24e1758e1be528c0882563ea005c3965/$FILE/LPA-20.pdfIt says it is kerosene based. I was just wondering though, are there any cars that take this...

I just bought a new home theatre system that has both optical input and USB input. My soundcard does not have optical out, so I need some help using my computer's USB port as the sound output. How do I do this?Dan

Shouldn't the resevoir for the brake master cylinder be divided, one side for each circuit? Also, why is the resevoir for the brakes so large? Could a shared resevoir for both brakes and clutch be used? I need to do something about my brake resevoir in order to accomadate an aftermarket FPR and...

Hi guys! I just got a new setup for my room (pics to follow once I get this last problem fixed). I got a 42" Samsung DLP TV, and a new computer with the ATi X1800XT video card. I have a DVI-HDMI adapter plugged into my computer, and then a HDMI cable going from that to the HDMI in on the TV. The...

Anyone know where I can get these? I know there is a member on here with them, but do not know who it is.Thanks,Dan

Can anyone tell me for sure, without a doubt, which one of these colors is found in 2gb eclipses with tan interior? No speculation please, I want the carpet to be the exact same color. If not on here, is there anywhere I can get a tan carpet that will be exactly the same color as the factory...

I want to ensure that my crankcase has plenty of ventilation. I want to eliminate the PCV valve, and run two -6AN lines from the two ports on the valve cover to a vented/filtered type of catch can (like RREs) instead of the recirculated type like the greddy (which would force me to either run...

What are the pros and cons to an oil filter on the turbo feed line. I will be running a GT35R from Forced Performance and the feed line they recommend for it is filterless. I was wondering though if it would be a good idea. Anyone have any insight?Dan

Can anyone explain the internal workings of the oil filter housing? What is the purpose of the oil cooler bypass, and the other spring loaded valve inside?Dan

I took my head to the machine shop and the machinist talked to me about having to install new valve seats to accomadate the 1mm OS valves. Is this usually the case, or are the stock seats large enough to machine to accept the larger valves.He also said he does not recommend bronze valve...

Can some please explain to me the benefits of nitrided valves? I know nitrided valves have some positive attributes, however want to know if they are worth the extra money in my case.Thanks,Dan

I really don't know if this thread can go anywhere without going political and having people argue about war and such, however I was wondering what you think about the lady (Cindy Sheehan) from the town in which I live who is camping outside Bush's house. Again, I don't want this to go in the...

I just got a 6bolt motor with shot rings. The cylinder walls look fine. THe motor has about 60k miles on it. I am going to remove the balance shafts, as well as put crower rods and ross pistons .020 over in. I have a few questions though:1.) what are the pros and cons of lightening the...

I need new tires for my 1g TSi AWD. However, 4 new tires for 16" rims is rather expensive at around $60 each. I want to try to get some smaller rims, but don't know where to look, or how small will fit. If I can I would like to get some 14" steelies if they fit, so tires would be dirt cheap...

I have 3 transmissions all of which are screwed up in different ways (cracked bellhousing etc) and I have enough parts to make two good ones. I am installing an LSD in both of them. I was wondering if anyone has any tips for a rebuild. All of the shafts already have the gears and syncros on...

I went to Sac raceway tonight to see what I would run with drag radials. I have never used them before, which wasn't a great idea, so I was not used to them. I went to heatcycle them at the line, and they gripped better than I expected resulting in a decent amount of wheelhop. I bogged horribly...

What is this thing on the firewall? Secondly, what is this two prong plug by the battery for? (sorry the picture is blurry)Thanks,

My log below: Don't worry about the log starting at 5200rpm, everything below that point is not a problem right now. What may be a problem is that base timing is set to 5*, and I am seeing 26* of timing by redline on 91octane and SBR FMIC. I think this is too much and dont want to damage the...

Hi, I am setting up photohost on my website right now and have some problems. If any of the computer gurus would like to lend a hand, IM me on AIM, or reply here. I would really appreciate the help!!--Dan

This is a video of some kid knocking on these girls door at midnight as a stripper.http://www.cowtownturboworks.com/files/MattBurnsFlop.MPGThe second one is of him running across the street escaping.http://www.cowtownturboworks.com/files/MattBurnsRun.MPG

I started a thread a while back when I had been pulled over for no front plate. The CHP saw that I didnt have a catalytic converter, I was running a 50trim with external gate, AFPR, cam gears etc. etc.Well, here's the story as of now: I called them before detuning my car. I asked if I could...

Just thought I would share that with everyone if for some reason anyone was ever going to attempt it. For me, it is smog reasons. I will fill the holes with RTV.

As soon as I get my CA state ref fix ticket signed off, I am going to be coming back two fold. Check out a few of the parts I have siting in my room that will be going on in a few weeks.

I just recently but my car back to stock (except for AFC, 720s) after having a MAFT hardwired to my stock MAF harness. I used this picture: http://www.dsm.sillymods.net/files/MAFWIRING.JPGI had no problems wiring it up, all the colors transfered over fine. I went to start the car, it went...

Thats right. I just got my car out of the shop 2 days ago after a fresh ~$7000 paint job, and therefor had not yet mounted my front license plate. I got pulled over by a CHP officer on a motorcycle for not having it on, and he understood why. He then looks in the car and sees my ACF and AVCR...

Goof off is awesome at removing and stripping stuff, however I have never used it to clean my interior until now. It was amazing. I used it on all my plastic/vinyl panels, as well as my seats. I tested every section first to ensure that it would not screw up the surface, and after I goof off'ed...

I have done a search on alternators. I have noticed in all the 1g in a 2g pages, a 2g alternator is still required. However other results said a GVR-4 alternator works in a 2g.Will a regular 1g alternator work in a 2g?Thank you

I got a flat tire last night. Well, if any of you knew me, you would know that when something breaks, Its always an opportunity for upgrade. I have been using a set of borrowed 22lb Konig rims. Anyway, I bought 6 brand new 17" MB Motorsports Weapons. 4 of them will have just some decent street...

Can we just end it already! I am so sick and tired of hearing people argue about this.I have seen so many threads lately about how they were designed in this state, this part was made here, the cars were built in illinois and so on..Mitsu = Japanese company. Japanese cars in america...

I am looking to get a set of 17" rims to mount my drag radials on. I dont care what they look like as they will be used at the strip only. I was told to check out summit racing's selection of wheels, but they do not list weight. Anyone know where I can get some fugly 17x8s that weight like 15lbs...
