You gotta be careful as to how many months you ask for those red temp. stickers. I've gotten them so many times that they ony allow me to get a one day permit now. So now I have to plan on when I can take my car in, which is hard, to get it smogged, get a day permit and take it to get smogged...

Just don't make it around the 4th of july please, that's a promise that i won't make it because of work lol.

would it just be easier to just swap out the axle...the boot alone costs $20 something and I can buy an axle for about $50 at the local auto parts store...

I hope there's not gonna be any gruges held. As much as we all love dsm's, you never know what's going to happen. My car's been down for two years, finally fix it, and then my windows don't work, or my ac, and then it wouldn't start, now the ps is leaking, and possibly my cv boot needs...

Okay, so my cars been down for a while and I finally thought everything was good to go, but when I went to test drive it around the block I noticed that there was a clicking noise coming from what I believe is the front passenger side. It's only when I take right turns that can hear the...

So getting my shift covered tomorrow doesn't look like it's happening, and on top of that my oh so fast saturn has a freakin nail in the tire and goes flat every other day and since I work all the time I haven't had it fixed yet...I'm not meant to go to a meet lol, otherwise I would've told you...

So I'm cursed, all I had to do was get a permit to drive my car to get it smogged...then my car wouldn't start, thought it was the battery but it wasn't so I changed my alternator and it was perfect, I start to drive it and there's something wrong with my suspension on the passenger side. (bare...

Well I don't know where everyone's from, but we could meet out in fremont, I think that's where the Fry's is at right off the 680 freeway. That way we have space to park our cars to wait for everyone, and then just hop on 680 to 101. And I don't know wtf I was thinking when I said I needed a...

If someone doesn't mind having company in the car I might be able to go...I have to find someone to cover my shift though...

I saw that about this sunday but with my wrist and not being in town these past several days, my car won't be up and running (and registered) :p ...union city would've been a distance if i went, let alone a 2 hour drive to salina's. :cry: I couldn't risk driving out there and having my car break...

What? If I was rich or had mommy and daddy to buy me that car I would lol...that's why my car is teal with a red door that doesn't match the molding of my talon...oh and my window doesn't work, and now my battery cause of all the testing i was doing to fix my windows, i drained it haha...don't...

I'm so jealous that I didn't get to go, even with a sprained wrist they made me work, I didn't leave work till 1 in the morning...sad

Yea, that's what I'm being told to do, but I don't know how and to be honest i'm scared to touch electrical stuff haha. I've swapped engines, tranny's, clutches, brake lines and everything inbetween, but after i get my car smogged and registered, I'm gonna have 93_tsi_fwd help me out since he...

I'd really appreciate any help you can give me, i'm getting so desperate i'm about ready to take it to the shop, but i hate paying someone else to do a job i can do myself (in this case with the right help) once i get my registration if you're willing, i'll come drive down to your area...buy you...

first off, wish i read this first, cause i answered you in the other post...but i'm about 45 minutes from you, but it'll take a lil longer if it's a hot day ### i'll have to stop every now and then to crack my door to catch a breathe lol...is that the only way to test the motor? I don't know...

Speaking of...if anyone can help me out with my window issue, that would be great...especially if you live locally and can come out to take a look (food and drinks on me lol) If my ac worked, I could deal with it for a while, but I don't have ac and my windows don't work haha :pHere's a link...

haha, thanks for reminding me, I was so concerned about working and my windows not working I forgot that I still need to get my car registered lol ROFL

yes but i can't work on my car at the moment...my 25th bday was a lil crazy this weekend and i managed to break my wrist...i'll just have to wait for a while...sucks

Well I would start a list but I won't know if I have a job until next week cause I requested this weekend off for my birthday lol...

Hey don't I know you? Your name sounds hella familiar...(I'm the girl with the funky teal talon, I think we've met a few times, maybe at stinson beach or in foster city)Anyways, I might not have a job anymore lol...so what better way to spend a sunday than with complete strangers haha

yea...

I'm not exactly sure how one's supposed to test it, but they put the tester on each of the 4 prong things (yea i don't know what stuffs called haha, sorry bare with me) and if you're looking at the relay from the passenger side, then the top left is the one that they said was 'hot'.....but i do...

okay so I had help checking the relays and what not because I'm clueless when it come to electrical stuff, but they said that the relay was getting power and there was no power leaving the relay...I swapped it with another relay for the headlights and the headlights worked either way, so what...

it's under the hood on the passenger side

There's a 99% chance I have to work that day, but if you guys still have dinner, I might be able to meet up then...I miss hanging out with other dsm owners (even though my car is a pos lol). I've been gone so long I don't recognize more than 3 people in these forums...but I'll know by next week...

The only hard part is that when I have to time to work on my car, my bf isn't home and my friends are at work, i'm gonna have to ask the mailman to help me lol...but that makes sense I'll have to try that out. Thanks.

Thanks! :p

cool, did you guys have an idea as to where in union city the meet would be at? I just want to see what kind of drive I'd have...

I'm a girl, it's in my blood to remember stupid stuff like that haha...but if you guys plan on another day, you mind if I meet up with you guys, it's been a while since i've gone to a dsm meet?

How can you tell if the relay is bad or not? I just traded it with another relay, and it still didn't work...should I just buy a new relay? It's only the two under the hood on the passenger side, right? And how can I apply power to the pins? (I don't know anything about electrical stuff, sorry)

I was just passing through looking for my old dsm buddies trying to see what meets were going on and I just saw that you guys were all voting for May 10th, thought I should mention that it is mother's day, in case anyone forgot and/or cared to know...

So I've been searching the forums for awhile and I couldn't find the solution to my problem. I have a 93 eagle talon with power windows and they used to work fine. My car then broke down and has been sitting for about 2 years, and now that I have it up and running, the windows don't work. I've...

Okay, so I finally swapped out my turbo and whatnot, then when I go to put everything in, one of the bolts ends up getting stripped. It's the oil tube that goes from the top of the turbo to the side of the block, the bolt that has a hole through it to let the oil go through. I can easily put it...

I'm bailing out last minute due to a death in my family, sorry guys.

Did you want to meet up again? I'm sure we could get edwin and tstkl to head that way as well, oh and tony might be coming again with his evo, I have to call him again to make sure.

The bad news: my parts probably aren't going to be here before the meet, cause there was a huge confussion about payment and it being delayed, blah blah blah. So I'm mad and anxious to get them, even if it comes the friday before, I will be bustin my ass to get it in in time. :thumb:The...

I'm getting the evo III turbo. And I've actually seen a laser in my color around town, also one in Santa Cruz. And for some reason you look familiar, but with you living so far, it's probably just your twin, lol.

Name: Dorene Age: 22 City: Pittsburg Commonly seen in: a state of drunkness, haha, jk...kind of. Occupation: Just quit Home Depot, starting at Chili's when it opens (possible bartender)I would say that this whole post your pictures was a good idea, especially before the meet, but how can...

YAY! I am so freakin excited...I have officially ordered and paid for my project (minus the catback). My new hobby will be checking the mail, haha.

Okay, this is going to sound crazy, but umm...could I install everything from the exhaust manifold to the end of the cat and leave it like that for a day or two? Since it's my only car, just in case it takes me a while to install it all and take it to a muffler shop?

Okie, since you guys are all being so nice and helpful, I have a new question about my project...I'm buying my downpipe and high flow cat from RRE (http://www.roadraceengineering.com/eclexhaust.htm), this will directly fit my evo III o2 housing. Now I need to find a catback system, Zach I...

I'm going to try, I didn't order it yet, because I'm trying to figure out how to do my exhaust...should I buy a bolt on, then which one should I get? buy the parts and pay a shop to weld it and if I do where's a good local shop?...Too much to decide, and also I'm trying to figure out if I should...

So i hate it when dsm meet forums get quiet, so i've decided to share my oh so exciting news with you all.I am finally after so many years...going to purchase my turbo! Hopefully I can figure out the exhaust situation (which I've been meaning to do, basically since I bought the car) so that...

Oh if only you knew, that's what I have in my car...muwahaha! Although I would suggest you not let your girls drive your car alot otherwise they'll get a funky ass big calf muscle on their left leg like I do...HAHA!!!

Okay first off, Mahesh, did you guys get lost last year when I was in Jamaica? LOSER! We didn't the year I went. Second, I think I'll bring a 13MM because that's what it was for the PS pump!!! (I'll be laughing to myself if no one remembers what I'm talking about) And lastly I will be bringing...

Yay, I'm excited...sounds like there are a decent amount of people that are going to show...if any of you flake I will have to kick your ass, haha. :p

Yea, umm...that would be me. I probably have 2 other names on here, because I keep changing my email and forget my passwords, so I can't figure out my password for here because they send it to your email. That didn't make any sense, but yea it would be me. I should probably talk to someone about...

what do you mean what happened to my last name? I'm lost...as usual. Oh and get this, the meet is on the day of my sisters junior prom that i was supposed to help her get ready for...soooo, I said screw you, this meet is a once a year event and you weren't there for my prom, haha, jk. But...

Hey Mahesh, I finally got on forums. It's been a damn long time, so thanks for keeping me updated on it. I already tossed out a request for the day off, so we'll see. The schedulers at my job do not like me, haha. Maybe I'll attempt fixing my car door so I don't have to crawl through the...
