After 4 DSMs and 2 VW's, I finally decided it was time to get into some debt :DThe 1995 Eagle Talon TSi AWD has been replaced by:2005 Audi A4 1.8t Quattro Special Edition40k miles, factory warranty.
6-speed, black leather interior. Still smells new. Special Edition means...
Just wanted to know if anyone here has ever SOLD a car to someone paying with a check from eloan.com? I am certain that Capital One Auto Finance will do the same thing for a person obtaining a loan, just to make the entire process easier for a buyer, but what about the seller?I know of the...
I've seen them on Evo's, STi's, etc etc, but does ANYONE sell these shields for our DSMs? Mine, in particular, would be for a 95-96 Eclipse rear bumper.I just got the car repainted, and my exhaust is burning the paint pretty badly, and starting to warp the bumper. Anyone know where to pick...
This is the old lip I had for like a month (we will call it 'Lip A'):It's shattered. And you can't find them anywhere, and if you do, they're on backorder. But I can get it in ABS plastic. Anyway, I do have the opportunity to pick up this identical lip off of this exact car, of...

New pic of damage on page 2.Sooo...I get my car back from the body shop last night at 11pm. New electric blue paint, 97-99 Eclipse front/headlights/CF lip/95-96 Eclipse rear and taillights. I have no working taillights, no blinkers, no flashers, no dash lights, no vanity lights, no...
So I picked up my car (95 TSi AWD) after being repainted and having 97-99 Eclipse front and 95-96 Eclipse rear/tails installed. Immediately I had major electrical problems with it. The painter said it was working fine before when he drove it to the detail shop to wetsand/buff it. Yet when I...
To throw them up in my room or garage.I saw DSMparts.com has an HKS one, measures 6' by 2.5'. It's like $40 bucks. Any shops want to donate some? Or anyone know where to get some?Random, I know, but I think it would be pretty cool.
The reason I ask, is because I've never had one. Also, because my girlfriend is looking for a run-of-the mill car to drive.-auto, sunroof, 4 door. Less than $7000.Why is it that I can't seem to find anything remotely nice fitting that description? I search for what I know...Civics...
And it started off on a crappy note.My license has been suspended since Dec., so I had to go to the MVA to get an ID card, so I could go out and celebrate tonight at the nice bars that actually check those things. After 45 mins of waiting in line, get my picture taken, blah blah blah, the...
Anyone ever paint the hatch of their 2G Talon black to flow with the roof? I'm going to get the car resprayed, and was wondering how it would look. I am going to put a CF hood on it in the near future, and be done with the exterior...My car is a 95 TSi AWD, with a 97-99 front bumper...
Pretty simple, I'm replacing a cracked manifold, and don't see the point in not replacing the inlet (manifold-turbo) gasket, and also the manifold-head gasket. I have been looking for hours, and haven't come up with anything.Anyone know where I can pick one up?
So I'm only 20 years old. I'll be 21 at the end of this month. I'm sure there are others out there that have me beat, but I'm on my 7th car, and have only been driving since Jan. 2002. The history looks like this:-91 Ford Ranger XLT (1/02-5/02)
-95 Eclipse GS (5/02-12/03)
-93 Talon TSi...
Hey all,I performed my first compression test yesterday afternoon on my 95 TSi AWD w/ 125k miles with a friend of mine who has likely done this a million times. I wanted to ask a quick question about this.Everyone I have ever talked to says that a 15psi variance between 2 cylinders...
Well, I put my car for sale in the classifieds...it is a 95 Talon TSi AWD. It needs a little TLC, but I'm only looking to sell it for a daily driver.Now I was also looking to trade it for a daily driver...like a Civic hatchback or something of the sort, but Civic guys think their cars are...
I have a 95 TSi AWD manual. I am trying to figure out what could be causing this issue.If I am in 1st or 2nd gear, and let off of the throttle, the car will almost not let me smoothly hit the accelerator pedal, and then when it finally seems to recognize that I am hitting it, the car jerks...
I'm gonna try to explain this as best as I can. The car is a 95 TSi AWD. Just had the transfer case recall performed, so I kinda ruled that out.Basically, when I am in 1st gear, and go to let out the clutch to give the car gas to go, it feels almost like it is hesitating. And on hills...
Low offsets = wheels sticking out. Yes, I know it isn't safe. Yes, I know it will rub. Yes, I know it ruins brakes & wheel bearings. I know it can be done. European car guys do it all the time...I've seen 16"x12" wheels on an '87 Jetta. Those same wheels on a 98 GTI. I know it requires...

Ill try to break this down...the car only overheats when driving down the highway around 60-80 mph when the car is at 3000+ RPMS for extended periods of time, or when sitting still.I replaced the thermostat, which was stuck closed, still no help. Then noticed a pin sized hole in the...
Ive been having a lot of troubles with my car. Theres oil around the exhaust mani, by the TB cover, and when I start the car and arev it, it shoots oil out of the exhaust. The oil pressure shoots above 100, thats all my aftermarket gauge goes to, and it probably gets to about 110-130psi. It...
Well basically i was with this girl for 2 years, we had a lot together then she says she needs time and ends up ####ing my friend. i found out today and i dont know what to do about it. its killing me because shes the only girl i ever felt strongly about, besides the fact that im gonna lose a...

I just bought the Dejon big FMIC w/ piping and the LICP doesnt have anywhere to hook up for a boost controller. I figured this is a normal thing and that people usually relocate it, but i am unsure as to where to tap for this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Mods: 93 TSI...107k miles, greddy profec b set at 14.5psi, K&N filter, TurboXS RFL BOVToday when i was driving down the road, I got on it a little bit, and noticed I wouldnt boost above 10psi. I said ok, may be a boost leak, so i took it home and checked it out. Took off the intake pipe...
I got a 3" GM MAF for free from a bud, so I was opting to go for a blow-thru setup on my 1G TSi. Lately, I've been questioning this setup, because I'm not looking to go really 'out-there' with modding my car. My planned setup was as follows:-2.5 UICP w/GM MAF
-MAF translator
-3" intake...
Has anyone ever attempted to put a 2G interior into a 1G? I'm talking about EVERYTHING... dash, console, seats, etc. I know a lot of people with VWs and it seems that swapping newer interiors into older cars is quite popular. And i thing 2G interior is a lot more comfortable than 1G. If...
I wanted to know if I can straight up swap my Tokico struts and Eibach Pro-Kits out of my 95 Eclipse GS into my 93 TSi. I know the setups are different (in certain ways), but would the strut size be remotely the same? I have also heard that some 1g's put stock 2g struts on their cars due to...
I just picked up a Profec-B spec. II, and on my hi setting, I'm set as follows...boost: 50%
gain: 20%
set gain: 0
limiter: 15%It keeps 'spiking' at 15 psi, then 'falls off' but eventually settles down at 15 psi. it does this all the time, even when the boost % is down around 30-40%...
i have a 1g, a 93 tsi to be exact. on the factory radio harness, on my bigger 5 or 6 prong outlet, theres a blue thing coming out of one of the ports, almost like its supposed to connect to something else. wtf is it...im getting so pissed at my car...it fried a $600 kenwood unit, and i just...
Simple question...will a 1g AWD downpipe fit a 1g FWD? If not, why? I assume they'd have the same basic exhaust setup, at least before the cat. Help, cause I need to order one ASAP.

I have been looking for a stealth, clean, yet visible way to mount a few gauges and a PDA for my 1g. I was sitting in my car and got a great idea...why not put them where the stereo unit would usually go? I figure...put the PDA on the far left, and 2 gauge cups vertically mounted next to the...
I have seen a few people say that there are other harnesses to fit the 1G A'PEXi turbo timer. Anyone have 1st hand experience on using other brands of harnesses? (Like, an HKS or Blitz one)Later,
I recently recieved a 55 dollar, 1-point citation for 'spinning my wheels'. The only problem with that is, it never happened. I have been pulled over 21 times and issued 6 tickets and 5 warnings for bullshit. The police in my town are ridiculous, and have a problem with myself and a few...
Well, I finally did it! I bought a 1993 Talon TSi FWD w/ 101k on it. Metallic blue w/ black top. It's super nifty. Only took me about a year and a half to do it too, and it has been the best 5,100 I ever spent. I am just so excited that I wanted to share. Well, wish me luck with it i guess.
Quick question...I found someone selling an OEM 'style' front bumper. Yes, it is on eBay.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2410592277&category=6766Would it be a good idea or a bad idea to buy this? Anyone have past experiences with this particular seller...
I used to have Yokohama Parada Spec 2 tires on my 18x7.5" wheels, 215/35/18 series. I bent my front wheels, on stock suspension. Now I have Eibach Pro-Kits and Tokico non-adjustable shocks, and a spare set of 215/35/18 Nitto NT-555 tires, with the same kind of rim, but brand new. Would a...
