If you already have the head off it is pretty easy from that point. Drain the tranny, drop t-case, pull the axles, remove the clutch slave cylinder, unplug speed sensor, remove starter, unplug knock sensor, attach your hoist and pull all four motor mount bolts and lift. Mike

I would start looking into linkage issues then. Under the console and at the trans. Mike

Having the same porblem at the moment. Next step is to pull the tranny again, and check the clutch fork and pivot ball. I would try that if you have not already. Mike

You eat ice crean in your car? OMG HLYCHT OMG WTF!!!!!!!! We dont eat, drink, smoke........ect. in Julias car. LOL Mike

Yup, ours is a 5 speed manual. It looks like it will be a fun car when it is done. Taken from another forum: "What a shame, these cars are very rare.Production numbers* 1984 - 59,858 (Laser- 33,976/Laser XE- 25,882) * 1985 - 50,866 (Laser- 29,221/Laser XE- 18,193/Laser XT- 3,452) *...

We actually just picked this up for our 16yr old.Paid $300 for it, and as we are cleaning it up, it is a very clean car. Its an '84 Turbo Z w/2.2. Windsheild is actually going to cost as much as the whole car did. Mike

My wife just went through the same thing. You need to go to the courthouse, get a copy of the clearance letter showing you paid, fax or mail it to the dmv, and wait for them to send you another clearance to take to you local office. Not sure about the FTA though. Mike

You will need to use the old plug from your N/T head to plug the oil journal for the turbo feed line as well. Made the mistake once, and had a hell of a mess to clean up. You can also use the turbo cams for your N/T as well. Mike

In 4 yrs since this post was made, I am sure he figured it out. But on another note, is the EVO8 useable on FWD or just AWD? MIke

I can understand that working in a jail would give you a false reality to the time spent there. You go there every day, BUT go home at night. 8 Months is quite a while to sit and do nothing while your life is standing still. Granted, you get 5 days a month credit for good time, 10 if you are...

Chen is the cream, and Cai li is the blue. Mike

Thats what I thought too. Not sure where you would fit an air bag in a 1g steering wheel. Mike

My thought is you are finding differences in the actual components. Where are the plugs located? Where do the other ends run to. From what I gather in your post, is you may need to find the 91+ components these run to. Or, as you said, re-pin to the pin size you need. Mike

I have to agree. But she is NOT a softie :thumb: Mike

I wouldnt call them rare. I have about 100 or so in My garage. Mike

The plate he is refering to is for a early 2g with the cam sensor on the belt side of the engine. Being a '97, you should not need them as your sensor should be at the oposite end of the intake cam. Mike

Just noticed the title change? Someone let me know why? Mike

I have some industrial de-greaser I am going to try first. Just have to get all the car parts and crap out first. Mike

It is actually a raw concrete on it now, exactly as the directions require, just the prep work now, and I can get rolling. Mike

A friend at work does remodles and such and had some left over. I have enough to do 2 of my garage floors (920 sq ft) and paid $300 for all of it. Found the directions, and it is definately a job. 4 parts, and will require 8 to 12 hours betwwen to cure. Will post pics when done. It is basically...

We have all 4 prothane, and I dont even notice vibration anymore. Not as bad as it sounds. Mike

No problem Fred. I ended up working all weekend instead. Maybe next time. I managed to finish Troys eclipse, and Brians Talon, so maybe they will be out there next time as well. MikeWe are working on getting something together tis spring for anyone who is willing to show up. Will post about...

I am trying to remove the flywheel bolts on a "90 TSI AWD and am having a hard time getting them out. I have tried heat, to no avail. It almost looks like on the only bolt I got out that someone actually jb welded it. Any suggestions would be great. Mike And could a mod ### delete 2 of these...

Keep us updated, and we should be down to meet up about that time. Julias car has 600 miles fromt he conversion, and running pretty strong. Mike

I see a lot, and some stop by work and shoot the chit. We have some plans in the works right now and I will let you all know. But for sure stop by, Best time and day is sunday. We actually have 3 here at the house now. Mike

Park East is on the "East" side of city "Park". LOL Corner of Calla and Goodnight. Mike

We have 4 parked in the lot at my restraunt every day. I built 3 of them.:D Mike

Hell, stop by Park East on any given day and there are 2 to 4 of them parked out back. You guys need to shoot by and check out Julias car now that it is running. Basically, any day off I have lately seems to turn into a DSM workday, almost like we are starting a local car club :p. Mike

<<<<<<<< I like the "Grey". ;) Mike

Wow. I live a bit too far away, but would this not fit in vendor anoucements better? You have a hell of a sales pitch. :p Mike

NVM, found it, it is on the firewall by the TPS plug. Mike

The 90 has the pigtail from the CAS, and for the life of Me I cannot find where it goes. Basically, there should be a plug in the harness for the pigtail. Thanks anyway bro. Mike

As the title states. I cannot for the life of me find this plug. Anyone have a pic or a good description would be appreciated. Mike

Sounds like you need a hobby you are good at. Mike

I have a Karking motor in ours right now, could not be more happy. Who did the timing belt and head gasket? They would be the ones to throw a fit to. Mike

Not sure if you noticed from the pic, but that is not a single plug as the one you are referring to is. Mike

Have you tried tp replace the temp switch on the rad? Mike

I had all intentions of making it to another, but at this point I would rather work, as I am not too sure I have personally met someone on any of the boards that has not screwed me over in some way shape or form. I am trying my damndest to get Julia out there this year driving, but I do not...

Used that area just yesterday, and every other time I have pulled one with tranny. Mike

Needing a car to pick up "chicks" is like tying a pork chop around your neck to get your dog to play with you. Mike

Yea, no chit. LOL. We are working on the reg. fees at the moment for Julia. You have to be her instructor though, Chris. :p MikeAnd Fred, I will send you what I have for the relocation kit for shipping and you can gather the rest. :p

From Laramie, I would guess about a 3 or 4 hour drive south. Mike

If they are just frozen like that you can A: Find someone with a heated garage to put it in to "unfreeze" B: hairdryer C: warm the car up and see if the heater wont be enough. Mike

Technically, it is a 7 bolt head on the 1g 7 bolt, but only because of the smaller head studs and smaller holes for them. But all 1g 2.0 heads are basically the same. Mike

If you have no documentation of it done, that you should replace these parts on a "new" used car. MikeAnd with all of this being done, boost leak test when finished is always a good idea.

Oh, and there is actually mortar you need to trowel on as well. Turns out, I need to be licensed to even have this stuff in the garage LOL. Mike

As soon as I get the rest of the crap out of the garage, we are going to make it a weekend project. And yea, need to get the floor very clean first after about 20 engine swaps :(. Thanks for the input. Mike

He undersatnds he need to use the Turbo pistons, hence the comment. Swap you old oil filter housing, cams, TB, and injectors and you are good to go. Cams, pistons, and injectors are the main differences. Minus oil squirters. Mike

Stonblend Epoxy Mortar Floor System Epoxy flooring. I just picked up roughly 2000sq ft of this for My garage, but not too sure of application process. It has 3 parts, epoxy, primer, and the sandstone. Any help or links would be great. If you click on the GSI tab, it shows the sandstone. Mike...
