I have pulled logs from before and after and I painted mine. No negative results for me at all. Everything looks the same for me. FYI, I used a few light coats of flat black spray paint, duplicolor.I know I am not running a very large IC, but it works for my needs with this car.I love the...

Very nice, I approve!!!!Not that I am partial to Lasers...hehe. Very good looking car BTW!

I do not see that bolting up at all. Not only is the mount different, so is the hotside. Would require a custom O2 housing, not to mention intercooler piping.

LOLZZER!!!Seriously , that's awesome.Bunch of cheaters..

Well , its fixed.Took it out for victory lap last nite.In my hast to put it together I put the disc in backwards.:shhh: Well guess we all mess up once in a while:mad:Thanks for the responses though.

Not sure about this, its not in the "Forum" section although its in DSMtuners via the classified section.Personally I see nothing wrong with it , its not an outright political "discussion" just an ad for some merchandise.

OEM TOB , as stated in my orginal post. And IMO a extended rod is a band-aid for an incorrectly adjusted system or worn parts. everything is new. I do believe that its a F/W step issue though. I am going to take it back down this weekend and install my spare F/W to see if it solves the issue.

So last weekend I finished my clutch install on a 92 GSX and then it would not engage. Bleed the shiat out of the system , still will not engage.Nothing but grinding in reverse and tries to stall out in first.Took the clutch fork boot off and found the fingers on the P/P all the way up...

He is wrong. Take a look at the two engine bays and see what we are talking about.

No problem. Not sure the color you were looking for so "polished" was the only thing I could think of. As far as the "polished" look goes Jet-Hot is the best I can come up with.My next manifold will go to them.I have seen several sets of headers on my buddies Top Alcohol dragster that have...

I had one a few years back. Almost chrome was the color. Lasted a few months,heat discolored it really bad.Ended up getting another one and polishing it. If you want it coated , ceramic coat it or send it to jet hot.

For OEM parts I have nothing but praise for mistusbishiparts.net Thats where I picked mine up a few years back.

Agreed 100%How wrong you areAgain , not to thread hijack but did you come up with this on your own?? Jobs down south pay the same as up north , with the cost of living in some areas less its more $$ down here. Now while some jobs pay a bunch more than similar jobs in the south factor...

That pic I love. I dont miss snow at all , but if there was a reason that would be it. I did do some of that in my cousins 91 AWD back in early March when I went up to Conn.:rocks:

Sweet , I will play along since I have made some cosmetic changes to mine latelyNew CF hood shoots.... http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e13/lookinfor400hp/450cc010.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e13/lookinfor400hp/450cc008.jpg

This is the best photo I can find so far to describe what I meanWhen I finished itTwo 1/2 years laterOnly faded a bit from using 1400 deg silver ceramic coating.1600 deg was only avalable in gunmetal at the time.

Nothing but OEM for me either. At least for the DSM.Ran a fram one a long time ago and it actually shot off the oil filter stand on startup OMG what a mess.Not to mention lifter tick was worse with the Fram. Now on my camry I have used fram for several years without bit of trouble.

First thing you need to do is grind the welds off the inside of the flange,reweld the outside the flange where there is a gap.Reweld the supprt that is there and you are good. I did mine this way and it has been on for over two years without a problem.Also I would suggest ceramic coating it VS...

Well , I tried my old palm with mmcd and I get a ECU comm error.:( I get that error with all three palms (mmcd and pocketlogger) and both ECU's. Spent all night trying to figure it out.Still a no go.With pocketlogger its a "connection error" with mmcd its says "serial port in use" How can a...

#1- I searched and found nothing on this. Everything seems to be 2G related.#2-Ok , so I have tried all three of my Palms (old Palm IV, and two M130's)Still unable to log with my new pocketlogger setup, it displays connection error. I have used two different serial cables for the M130's with...

Dang it , now my wife is mad at you................;)I just spent the last 1/2 hour digging into 10 years worth of magizines. It was either SSC or Turbo , they were doing step by step modding/dyno runs. After doing air filter,3" cat back then a 3" Dp , they pulled the cat and gained 30-40...

Pressbent is fine for moderate hp goals , and with a quality system its worth the ever so slight hp loss.My 3" press system has been on for about three years and is properly designed with slight bends vs harsh bends.Flows enough for my goals (288whp last weekend) and I have less then 400 total...

I too will play along , also please excuse the mess as I am re-modeling the house and there is so much crap in the way thats house related it really clutters up the look. But I have a entertainment center with surround sound for football games/races/etc... on one side,on the other my work bench...

Well , the stock cover is plastic , and we all know how they warp.From the immense heat right there.My cover was very thick , I'd say 1/2".Kept in all the heat.But like I said , could have been a fluke.....

Its the bolts leaking???Not the gasket? Not to sure about anyone else, but I never has a bolt leak.Plenty of gaskets,usually when a bolt works its way loose from years of vibrations allowing oil to get between the sealing surfaces.

Best wishes for a speedy and healthy recovery , I know I would also bawl over the loss of my baby , but at the same time be glad that I could still bawl over the DSM , glad you two are ok , so to speak:(

Nice , just keep an eye on the plug wires.By that I mean a few years ago I bought this sweet plug wire cover , and used it for about 8 months , maybe a year and the car startd to run like crap.After a weekend of messing arounf found a few of my new magnecores wires bad.Now I may be speculating...

Is the 255lph installed , or is awaiting to be installed.If it is , a AFPR really is needed.

Sweet , glad you got it handled and back on the road:)

Thats the part the end of the 4way sat , well enough to pop it free. Dont take a full force swing though , it will not require it to come free.However , I like the ball joint fork better , probably much more safeEdit-forgot to finish my thought-

pnishr , from the sounds of it the boot moght have allready ben split and slinging grease everywhere.I had the same thing happen a while back. If the axle ij junk to you and just stuck in there , like mine was.... I Placed a end of a 4way against the axle and struck the 4way with a deadblow...

Man , I have no idea how that happened,have no idea how I thought 2G.I must have really been in a hurry that day. now even more:coy:

You stated stock injectors , 450cc.So yes bigger injectors needed.. Also even after installing the AFPR , turning the boost to 18 is a waste as the t-25 falls on its face after 5-6K and anything over 14-15 psi.Stock bov???then its gonna leak above 13 psi also.-edit-sorry , re-read your prifile...

pretty standard issue here , polished VC, got a spare I am working on shaving then..........still deciding on the new finish

If you are gonna go that route (line level converter) dont get the cheap one.Get a adjustable one , that way you can tune the signal input to the amplifier (think of it as a second gain like the amp has.) that way you can compinsate for votage differances in headunit to amp. The speaker output...

:coy: now I gotta change it (puts foot in mouth):coy:

DU-OH:shhh: Dangitalltoheckandback All my carefull modding and tuning to get to 400hp , and all I needed was some "custom" UICP and some green paint?WTF Time to start over.:sosad:

The green has to be worth 100hp extra:tease: ;)

^^^^^^ First thought here is ISC , very common cause of your symptom.

Agreed , you can find the ECU you are looking for from some reputable people , dare I say even on EBAY , for around $200. If the engine is good , and the with minor repairs needed to make it a good daily driver seem to be less the $500-600 dollar range ,I say fix whats needed to keep her on the...

The best deals seem to be on centerforce clutch& act f/w , or act 2100&act fw. BUt I will keep looking , its not so much a matter of money but a matter of getting it right the first time. The more I read and research it seems people are still having issues with the 2600 springs.Is this still a...

Ok , so I think the 2600 is the way to go. Quick dumb question , no matter which new F/W I go with , it should be stepped correctly right? Or should I get it correctly stepped just in case?

Not to bring a dead thread back , but dont want to clutter up the site with another "which clutch is best thread"I am not quite in the same situation , but never the less , I am looking for a new clutch. Right now I have a stock 126k clutch.Most of the time I baby the car , it might see the...

Well , I need to correct my terrible memory. I found the issue (Dec.2003) of Turbo. He had a 4G63 powerd Starion in 1999 , which ran a best of 11.24@124. The Porsche is a 1980 and the tranny is indeed a 4 speed , but from a 930.The engine in the Porsche is from the Starion drag car , though its...

Yes he did. I read about that car , dunno , maybe 4-5 years ago in an issue of Turbo.It uses a stock 85 4 sp Porsche tranny and clutch with a custom made bellhousing.And SBstar , he used to race back in the day with a TSI , was one of the first to break into the 10's I think.Let me dig up...

Absolutly. If you are serious about a car that is comfortable , roomy and dead nuts reliable a Camry is the way to go.I got my wife an 03 camry a few years back , not new but a 8K mile demo car.Love it , 4cy has plenty of guts for every day driving , and on the highway I average 36-40 mpg...
