I'm out till I can find a new engine. I hate being broke. But at least my WS6 fills the void till I can get it up.

After sitting on my problem over the holiday and going through DSM talk I will take a look at my O2 sensors and ECU.

I give. Car is going to satan for diagnostics as I can't find the problem and It won't stay started long enough to run for a code pull.

The battery is strapped down with electrical tape on the connectors. Now I can get the car to run but as soon as I go to take off I hear a click under the center console and Its good night car. I think it may be the ecu so I'm gonna take it out and look for leaking caps. All the other electrical...

I had a full tank at the time. I'll try to recreate the problem to get the cel and get it read. I hope I can get it started after that though. I think it may be electrical so I'll also check the plug wires, coil, and possibly fuel pump.

I had been putting off posting in here for a few days so I could search out a solution and I haven't found one yet so here goes. One night while out cruisin after work I jumped onto my off ramp for home and just pushed the car around the turn with the throttle. All of a sudden I was bucking and...

From what I understand and have read through other vendor statements the factory evo bov's are really no better than the stock 2g bov. With that info I would pass but if you get it free try it and let us know.

My head is trash. I'm getting another one so now the only problem I'll have is getting gas.

You might be in my shoes. I have a cracked head and it's getting replaced as I type this. Do a boost leak test and if that fails do a leak down test. It might not hurt to get your head looked at also.

I am down again! :cry: Does anyone have any Idea what could cause my car to go through two CAS's in 2 months? the first was oil fouled and now this one is broken and thew the engine out of time. Luckily I wasn't driving. I am really starting to miss my old n/t because of all this.

Aren't some of the 4g63 parts interchangeable with the 4g64? I've heard you can switch the heads so I would assume that with the proper internals the manifold and turbo would bolt up. Am I wrong on this?

After finishing my gauges I had no radio and found a blown fuse. So I fixed that and then I blew another for the interior lights. Replaced that and now I have no parking lights. I tried replacing the fuse but it just keeps blowing. I tested everything for continuity and its all good. I am...

Check your ball joints as well as the tie rods. If you have a manual it will show you where to look and where to check. When my ball joints were going they made a creaking sound like you're describing.

Okay got the car back and runnin strong again. So here were the issues. The timing belt was installed improperly, 4 teeth off intake and 3 on exaust which also seemed to affect my oil pressure. Valve cover gasket was finished and the head gasket was on its way out. So I got it back, did a...

Sorry to hear that. I'm havin problems too man.

Compression test came back 190 across the board. My head gasket is toast. The shop wants to check the head for cracks but that will cost too much. If it does it again I will just get a new head. So I should be up in a while.

The good news... no bent valves. The bad... oil drenched CRAS and CAS. They said oil is going into the cylinders and causing it not to start. I'm thinking worn rings or worn cam journals. would a catch can fix this if its neither of these? Don't these blow oil though the heads from time to time...

The timing is right on. Haven't done a leak down test yet. All the belts were replaced a month ago at satans house. I don't have time now so it will get towed to a shop on Monday. I'll post on what comes out.

My car had some trouble starting a few days ago while it was really cold out but once it was warmed up it ran fine. So I had been starting it at least once a day and letting it come to operating temperature just to keep it all good. So after driving fine Monday, I let sit all day tuesday till I...

I have a loud clattering going on in the timing belt area too. making me wonder if I need a new head.

When I had my n/t I researched this and from that I heard of a few of these swaps and no one was able to get the car running right. I just decided to skip all the hassles and trade it for a turbo. It's your time and money and if you can get it to work then there may be soe interest but the...

My door caps are trying to pop off. Does anyone have a fix for this? I want to get it good for cruise season.

My first car ever was a 82 VW Scirroco 1.8t. It was fast enough to hand a 90's Taurus SHO his butt. I miss that little car.

I went to National tire and battery and got their house tires. Sigma regent touring. I wish I would have checked out tire rack and drove on the donut for a minute but the sloppiness seems to have subsided for now. The old tires were goodyears and the front set was smaller than the back at...

I had to get new tires as I had a blow out and tread markers showing. I got four 215/55r/16 tires and my handling seems off. Should I go back and get 215/50r/16's instead? I know stock is 205/50/16. So is the tire too tall and rubbing a little? My car has stock suspension.

I traded my 95 esi for a 96 tsi a month ago. $6200.00 - $3000 trade in on the esi = $3200.00. Plus I bought them two customers so -$200 = $3000 paid in full. And best of all both cars are black which is what I wanted.

I say buy it for that price, fix it and then do as you wish. I traded my esi for a tsi just because I got a heck of a deal. This doesn't sound like a bad deal either. For that price you'd have the car and a turbo kit. Take and either buy a stock motor to thow in or spend a little more and...

I had been thinking about getting a turbo for a while and was going to turbo my 420A. But when I checked auto trader and found a tsi for a good price and close I had to check it out. My old car, 95 esi. New car, 96 tsi. So I went and checked it out and bought it. Here's the low down. 1996 Talon...

Mine was going out after I bought it. I got a luk gold series. It's a nice feel and pretty good. I'm sure teres better but for some good zoomin around it's not a bad clutch.

I'm in St. Ann by the airport. Always lookin for more people around here. No meet and greets planned?

Before I got my talon and was researching what I wanted to do with my 2g I liked the veilside kit. Now I think the rdora kit looks better. That front end just looks like it sticks out too far and that horrid wing :barf: why?

I ended my 91 gsx's life in the back end of some lady's geo tracker 7 years ago. She pulled out in front of me and stopped to make a turn at an uneven intersection on a highway. My gsx needed a new front clip. Her tracker's frame was broken. If you have to crash it at least win the damage war...

1998 bought my 91 gsx for $6500. (I was in the army I was a dumb kid with what I thought was money LOL ) Last April bought my 95 esi for $3450. I wanted a turbo all I could find was a N/T. Maybe one day I'll get a tsi or gst if I find one I'm willing to pay for with a trad of my N/T.

I have an all black 2g esi and the paint is starting to crack on the drivers side roof. The spoilers clear coat was comming off when I bought it. I have noticed that I is quite coon on DSM's depending on their location and color. I had a red 91 gsx a few years back and even it had some paint...

98 Started with a 91 gsx. My water pump went after owning for two weeks. Dang it this was the first car I ever bought from a dealership on my own!! Got it fixed and two months later had a girl pull out in front of me. Totalled hers needed a new fender and light assembly. Three months later hole...
