i have a 99 gst spyder and while changing the oil today i saw that the oil pan was pretty dented up. i was wondering if that was going to be a big problem.. i have been driving for like 6,000 miles since the last time i checked it, and there are no leaks or tears. is this something that i need...
ok i wrecked my green spyder and i am now looking at purchasing a 95 tsi awd that has suffered crank walk. when i work on it, i will be using a lift but i will have to roll the car. i know pushing it on two wheels will destroy it, but is it ok to move it as long as all four wheels are spinning??
wow. i have ALWAYS dreaded removing axles.. always.. from hondas, to dodges, to mitsus they have always been a giant pain. well i have always had access to a lift and for the first time i did not. so i had to do this with the car jacked up 12 inches. went to autozone bought some pry bars for...
just got done doing an install on a friends gst and just about everything went wrong.. we learned a lot of things the hard way today.
these aren't tips so much as REQUIREMENTS that one could easily forget while planning an install.. read this and make sure the same doesn't happen to you.PB...
ok i have a question regarding water injection. i have read against using fuel system components (i.e. pumps and injectors) in water injection because their internals often rust out over time when water is used due to its highly corrosive properties.. but i have also read that our fuel pumps...
ok quick question and i am sure its gonna get shot down.. ebay fans are constantly ragged on for not pulling enough air.. so what if you got a cheap ebay pusher fan AND a cheap puller fan?? even if the fans only pull/push half the CFM advertised, two should get the job done right? would it be...
like title states there is a test and tune this sunday at MIR in budds creek.. i have never ran my car but i plan to do it on sunday. test and tunes are the best time to set up mini-meets because you get the most runs in for your money. if anyone is trying to go just let me know..people...
background info:
i put 650cc injectors in two weeks ago and the car would usually take two cranks to get started. thinking that i needed more fuel i installed a 190 walbro. during install i snapped a hard fuel line. i drove the car with a 3/8 rubber hose over top. that leaked very badly but the...

i bought a used 50 trim w/ 200 miles about a week ago. the guy got it from www.dsmparts.com. the reason i started this thread is because there are so many variants of the 50 trim that i can't be assured what info applies to my turbo.
first: i want to take apart the exhaust housing and port the...
title pretty much states it. i bought a greddy temperature gauge and i was wondering which would be more important to keep an eye on: my water temps or my oil temps. which is more likely to cause trouble on our cars?
ok i just installed the xs power fmic kit.. once i hit boost there is a loud shreiking noise and then i quickly proceed to hit fuel cut at .9 bar. also under WOT i am running rich enough to be blowing black smoke out of my exhaust.. any suggestions?
to the guys running the xs power fmic kit that got shafted (like me) and didn't recieve that one 2.25 coupler and the two t bolt clamps.. well instead of having to spend $20 on another silicon coupler that won't pop off, i have found that if you modify (cut) the existing rubber intercooler pipe...
ok i can not figure out how to get this thing to stop initializing! i have the interface set up as a multiples. the baud setting at 19200 the address at 25 and the protocol at iso.. any tips? its pretty frustrating to spend 150 on an item and have it not work
ok i have $2000 to spend. i have a pretty stock eclipse. i have blown shocks up front and they make the car
1) handle horribly
2) make the tires spin all the way through 1st and most of 2nd (in a stock gst)
3) ride like shit! when you hit a bump it feels like i should have a kidney donor in...
