    Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    Okay, so on my drive home from school today I turned on to a major road and got on it a little bit. Not even WOT, I guess like 3/4 throttle. Anyways, I after I let off and was cruising for a couple of seconds i noticed that the gauge next to the gas (coolant temp i think) was sitting almost...

    Ideas for a car-related a contriversal topic...

    first of all, sorry for posting in the wrong forum i thought since i was a new member everything went in the newbie section, oh well. Both of those ideas are good, however i think i need something that will have to sides with legit arguements. Gasoline vs. alternative fuel engines is great, but...

    Ideas for a car-related a contriversal topic...

    Okay, for my freshman thought and expression class we have to pick an issue that is contriversal in our world today and write 3 papaers on it throughout the course. The teacher said that she suggested it be something that interested us because we will be doing such an extensive amount of work...

    tips on buying/finding an unmolested 1g

    I really have to agree with what brute said earlier about patience. I had my heart set on a 2g turbo awd dsm with low miles... not a common thing but I didn't want to comprimise. I looked on autotrader, cars.com, in the newspaper etc. for over a year until I found what I was looking for, and I...

    Are our cars really that unreliable?

    Tonight I had a disagreement with one of my friends about DSM's and their reliablility. (He has no room to talk considering he drives an Audi S4 that has already had about 10k of warranty-covered work done to it) He said that their cheap and fast, but expect to have a lot of problems. I think...

    Greddy type s or rs?

    Id have to disagree, I have the type-S and i love the sound and i've never had a problem with it holding under boost (however, i do only have a stock turbo)

    The Official "What Should I Spend Money On?" Thread [Merged 10-6]

    I talked to a friend of mine with a WRX and he said he would help me out with the 14b. He knows his stuff, plus he has a garage full of tools. He actually sounded excited to work on an engine where everything is easier to get to. So the 14b is becoming a very tempting option because I can get...

    BOV sound in an automatic?

    Still, it is kind of unnecessary to say that when the thread is about his BOV, not asking for oppinions on which kind of transmission he has.

    The Official "What Should I Spend Money On?" Thread [Merged 10-6]

    Thanks for all the replies! I would consider putting it in the bank but I think my mom would rather me spend it on something tangible because it is a gift. Would $300 really be enough to put a 14b in my car? If so I greatly overestimated how much that would cost. Just curious too, would a 14b be...

    The Official "What Should I Spend Money On?" Thread [Merged 10-6]

    I just recently found out that my parents will be giving me a graduation present (pretty sweet). My mom told me she was going to get an ipod and have it be a surprise but she tought it would be better if she would ask me first. Good thing, because I'd rather put that money to better use and buy...

    DSM or ///M?

    I'd have to say I would go with the M3. They are one of the best looking cars out there in my oppinion. Fast and classy- I vote for the M3

    Clutch pedal issue- please help

    It isn't as much of an audible noise as it is a clicking that i can feel with my foot. The pedal pressure does increase. I tried greasing the whole pedal assembly inside the car, and where the slave cylinder goes into the transmission. I just used WD-40, not sure if thats the right stuff or not...

    try www.mitsubishigraveyard.cim they opperate their online business out of an ebay store, but I know they are actually located somewhere in New York. You might be close enough to make the trip and save yourself on some hefty shipping costs.

    Clutch pedal issue- please help

    How difficult is draining the hydralic system? I really am trying to force myself to do things myself more because i am tired of being mechanically challenged, however, there is a certian level of comfort knowing that a profesional did something. But, if you guys really are possitive that this...

    Clutch pedal issue- please help

    I just got back from our mechanic and he gave some good and bad news. He said that it looked like the transmission had been out of the car before and there was a rubber boot or something that wasn't put back. He said it was where the slave cylinder went into the transmission, and since that...

    Strange humming noise inside engine bay

    Update- It seems like the problem is temporarrily solved. I believe the noise was coming from the power steering resivour, not the pump itself but idk. I checked all the fluid levels and they were all good (actually the power steering was over the "MAX" line, dont know what that means). But I...

    Strange humming noise inside engine bay

    Okay, when I was driving my car today I noticed that the ABS light came on and I thought that it was wierd but not a huge deal. But when I stopped, I could hear a very loud sort of humming noise coming from inside the engine bay. When I popped the hood it sounded like it was coming from the...

    Fuel managment

    Most people swear by DSMLINK on this site, however it might overkill for what you want. Do you have any mods(none listed in your profile)? What are your power goals? Answer those questions and we'll have a better idea of what's best for your situation :thumb:

    Front Bumper + Back Bumper Problem

    Did you check the classifieds here? I'm sure there are people who are upgrading to aftermarket or97-99 bumpers that are selling their stock ones for pretty cheap.

    Front Bumper

    They are Hella 500 foglights. I had a pair on my old Wrangler, good look for a Jeep, but I dont think I would slap a pair on my Talon :D

    Clutch pedal issue- please help

    I had someone one depress the clutch a couple of times while I was looking under the hood and I didn't see any movement in any of the belts. But after reading the above post I dont think I was looking at the right thing. Tomorrow I'll try to look again. If I do see lateral movement does mean...

    Clutch pedal issue- please help

    Alright, I think I might have some idea as to what is happening. When I start my car up in the morning and drive to school the clutch feels perfectly normal. However, around 3 o'clock on the ride home, a little bit after I start driving it, I get that stiffness feeling again. I think that this...

    Clutch pedal issue- please help

    Please bare with me because I truly am a newb when it comes to this. I checked an online diagram of my engine and it didnt have anything on the harmonic balancer on the end of the crank. Is this something that can be seen by just looking into the engine, or do I need to remove parts to see it?

    Clutch pedal issue- please help

    I just bought a 96 Talon TSI AWD with 65k on it. Ive noticed that the clutch pedal acts a little bit strange somethimes. It is very hard to explain but it feels like a clicking feel or added ressistance when I press the clutch down like 3/4's or the way. It only does this after it has been...

    Opinions on wheel/tire set up

    I like the rims, not too crazy. Maybe it's just me, but i think they look very similar to the stock GST rims.

    Proper intallation and function of strut tower bars [Merged 1-7]

    I just bought a 1996 Talon TSI AWD. It has some performance mods but the suspension is totally stock. I wanted to buy a front strut bar so I could improve the handling a little bit and to make the engine bay look a little bit nicer.I saw this one for only $40 and I am wondering if it is...
