Two days ago, my car started idling really weird. It was at about 200 RPM and would climb and fall to 400 and drop and then it just wouldnt hold an idle. This was just after I had gotten off the freeway, after about an hour of driving. Today, I started it up, it idled fine, and when I got...

I have a chance to pick up an almost new Big 16g turbo for pretty cheap (less than $300), and I was wondering if I could run it on my set up at stock boost levels, and then turn it up as I increase both fuel and intercooling capabilities. Its an almost stock 95 TSi AWD, and my mods are as...

Today I had surgery on my left knee to repair my torn meniscus. Kinda like an o-ring for my knee. The procedure only took an hour, and now, about 3 hours later, I can walk without crutches. The point of this thread is.... :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: to doctors and medical science!The only...

What's the best way to get the Eagle emblem off of a 2ga Talon and put it into a 2gb Eclipse bumper and make it look stock. My front bumper is cracked and I need a new one, and I love the 2gb Eclipse front end, so I want to put that on my 95 TSi AWD, but I don't want a Mitsubishi Talon. I know...

Last week on the freeway, a truck ahaed of me dropped some wet paint, I ran over it, and now my SMIC is covered in white paint. I've noticed a loss of power on warm days since then. I'm thinking it could be that the paint it preventing the IC from cooling properly and the ECU is pulling...

This is completely random, but me and my buddy were trying to think of ways to make the t25 spool at idle. Would it even be possible? If so, how? Would it work on another engine like an LS1? Whats the lowest any of you have gotten the t25 to spool at?

Today I noticed that my car was dripping coolant, so I look underneath and I see its the overflow can. I look inside and the can is completely full, with more coming in and I could hear a boiling sound coming from the radiator cap. The car wouldn't over heat, but the temp guage was at about...

In about 3 weeks, I'm leaving for the summer, and I'm taking the DSM with me. I'm driving from SF-Bay Area to Rapid City, SD (roughly 1500 miles each way). What I want to know is, what should I do to prep the car for the trip, and what should I bring on the trip to keep it running good? I...

My talon makes a short (2 second, about) metal squeaking noise after pressing on the gas pedal. The noise is coming from the right front wheel well, and it happens everytime I get off the gas, even if it was only a little bit of throttle. The noise starts regularly about a second after getting...

I was wondering how much work/money would be involved in turning an n/a 2g eclipse into a turbo. I don't mean slapping a turbo on the 420A, but dropping in a 4G63. I have the opportunity to buy a 96 Eclipse RS for very cheap because it has a bad engine, but I wanted to turbo it. I know that I...

I was just taking a look at my 95 TSi AWD's engine bay and comparing it to my 90 GST's, and I noticed something was amiss. My TSi has no cam angle sensor. Is that normal, or is my car just weird. And, if it is, should I put one on?

I found this amazinghttp://www.craigslist.org/sfc/car/144760716.htmlA 37 year old car that was never sold, now worth tens of times it's original value.

I'm buying a 1991 GST from a guy for $600 because he siezed the bottom end by starting it without oil in it. I have a pretty much bone stock 1996 GST, and I was wondering what stuff can I take and put on my car? It's pretty well built: Apex'i SAFC, full 3" exhaust, koni yellows, seneca race...

I switched my 96 GST to regular (87 octane) gas a few weeks ago because my parents agreed to start buying it for me if I used regular. Recently, my car started idling a little lower and occasionally stalling a few seconds while I'm letting it warm up after I start it up if its a little cold...
