Nope, the IACS is fine and unmolested.Really desparate here, I make a deal to sell the car and NOW, at random after nothing changed at all, it won't even run.Re-sprayed MAS with cleaner, no change. Checked all connections that I may have touched, no problems there.Other ideas on what...

In my searches, I never found a problem quite like this one, and before I throw hoards of money at the car, I'd like some advice.I removed my UIPC to paint it black, and upon reinstallation (done correctly), the car refuses to idle properly. It jumps from trying to die to 2500 rpm and will...

Nice pics!How are the physics in Forza 2?

Nah, Yoko A048...Nick, put those on my car...your car...whichever...

Ok, thanks. Not this event, but for future ones would be great to see what they have, to be able to get in touch with them.

The race car rental links dont work...any info on that?

1. Getting into karting, need a pickup to transport the kart, since parents moving to DC and can only bring one car to college, the GSX has to go and the F150 has to come in. 2. Starting college in August, so need to sell her NOW, or at least within the next month or so, right after I get her...

Slightly complex so far as shaping the duct, but with a flat vacuum cleaner attachment and some PVC pipe, could be done, if you have this kind of time on your hands:

Awesome...if I wasn't selling my car I'd be there in a heartbeat. Unless I can borrow my mom's Miata :sneaky:

Probably, the road course right?

Still have mine, but had a temporary blockage that caused apendicitis...but ditto on the pain, woke up at 1 in the morning like :notgood:Get to the hospital, and there's somebody's blood splattered all over the bed frame WTF

Its a safe bet the dyno is off...

Aside from power and driver smarts, suspension is the main limitation, as using a trailer with a 200 lb tongue weight could have you riding the rear bumpstops all the time if you're on stock suspension. Anyone with stiffer springs/shocks will be fine for light loads, and the brakes, clutch, and...

With that sandwich plate thermostat adapter, its a 180* unit, which seems to be in the lower half of the safe oil temp range. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56491&highlight=oil+temperature

Worco Powdercoating referred me to a paint shop they like, not sure about cost but Worco is reputable with the Evo guys, so their reccomendation can't be too bad.Here's Worco's number: (562) 602-0477Could try also one of those Maco (spelling) shops...

How was the meet?

You know what, go here: http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/mocal.htm and here: http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/cooler.htm and you've got a 7-bolt external oil cooler setup.I already have a core, so I'll be getting the thermostat sandwich plate, the brackets, and lines. The stock heat...

Well there's somebody here who uses a certain size of coolant hose, but good point about the clamps. You think it'd make sense to adapt AN fittings if there's a place to thread themm in?I'll give them a call to find out.Do you know who sells that? In a thread found in a search, Defiant...

Trying to install coilovers, when every single bolt (and I mean every single bolt) was rusted into its hole. Same thing with turbo.

Damn if you did this yourself, tell us how!

If your dipstick says there's too much oil, DRAIN THE OIL! Then re-fill it with 4 1/3 quarts, see if that helps. Probably you overfilled it at the last oil change, and yes, overfilling the oil can wreak all sorts of havoc.

Someone could chime in on the yellow, but that could be one of the sensor wires, hence no movement.Also, where is the guage installed? If you tapped its power from the cigarette lighter, and/or left one of the lighter's wires unplugged (yellow wire?), that might explain the loss of power to...

You're just getting too used to your car's power. This is a problem though, because it means only one thing: you need more power! :DAnd the boost leak test should show you something. You should be able to hold the pressure for quite a while. For reference, you should be able to hold most of...

Top Gear's off for a while, but you'll enjoy going back and looking at their classic episodes from early to mid-90s.

Haha well not if there's an officer sitting by the camera...or anywhere near it for that matter.

Oh and with a 16g, you can run a Walbro 190 just fine :thumb:And you don't even have to go to an AFPR :shhh:

Umm you're not going to get much help from anybody if you ask a question and then tell people not to answer...there's a good reason everybody says you need an AFPR, which is that the stock FPR gets overrun by a 255 pump! Would you bolt on a 50-trim with an 11-year-old stock clutch?

Does TRE's price include install, or is that just for the gear itself?Also, is it true that a taller gear reduce stress on the tranny? In F1 they can't go too low on the 1st gear because it'll break the tranny, so at tracks like Monaco they'll use a short first gear for qualifying and for...

Here's the info on the powdercoating place, although looks like you already found something:Automotive Powder Coating by Worco 2109 E Cherry Industrial Cir Long Beach, CA 90805(562) 602-0477

Amen. Some people definitely go to extremes with the "a real DSMer does ALL his own work", and some, like the "RoadRace did a great job installing my MBC!" Evo guys take it to the opposite extreme.Personally, I do what I'm comfortable with; turbo swap, suspension, most maintanence, etc...

Haha the guy who invented the speed camera probably got owned in a canyon and started making those things to level the playing field.Here's the thread on SoCalEvo: http://www.socalevo.net/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=37&topic=40826.0California: Push for Speed Cameras Violates Law...

I saw a thread on SoCalEvo.net (can't locate now but I'll post link when I find it) about the Forest Service (or parks or whatever they call themselves) putting speed cameras on some canyon roads...mobile speed cameras.Would anyone happen to know where these cameras have been set up, or...

I can give you the number of a shop in Long Beach that does great powder coating, but that might be a bit different than what you're looking for.

Is the thermostat in the oil filter housing or the water exchanger thing itself?

So the general consensus is that Corbeau brackets are rubbish...any chance they'll have made corrections or would you still go for a different seat & bracket manufacturer?

For those of us who might not be able to make it because of school, please pass our condolences to his family for us.

rFactor is probably second to none for PC, so far as physics, graphics, sound, car choices, upgrades (so many online upgrades like cars, tracks, mods, etc), and ease of use. $40 to unlock it, and if you have wheel & pedals, don't waste your time with any other game.

Same here. OMG can't believe it...just like that bam gone, one night...Miss you.

Open center sounds like a recipe for going nowhere...Also, how would one overheat our viscous rear diffs? Its not something you could do after several track days, is it?

Have you dynoed the car yet? That's really impressive for a 16g at stock weight.

DYNOING: 1. Daniel 2. Brian 3. Beau, finally (knock in ####ing wood that nothing will happen before this dyno. hasn't failed me yet) 4.Mike (Not sure if Im going to dyno yet) 5. Ari -- MAYBE, if there's an FMIC on the car by then...BBQ: 1. A LOT OF SODA - Daniel 2. Mass ammounts of...

Hmm which color Evo rims do you think would work on a silver car?

1. Daniel 2. Andy in the 2g 3. Brian 4. RiG and ilvstrs 5. housedsm 6. Beau (eclipsegsx1736) 7. ari

I'm gonna be a bit late, probably there around 1 or so...you guys still going to be there or will the lot be empty?

Awesome, thanks. I hope their prices are as good as the ones at the Greddy sale...$300 for a full FMIC kit :thumb:

Can you type out the address and times? Can't read it from the picture (maybe just me). Thanks for letting us know.
