Thanks. Looks like I'll just have it towed to RRE if I can have it done cheap.

I am from Wisconsin and looking to take trip to oakland to visit some people and probably buy a DSM in the process. I have been talking to the seller and the timing belt broke. I am curious if anyone knows anybody in the Oakland, CA area that specializes or is atleast very fluent working with...

http://studentweb.uwstout.edu/hardwickj/stuff/bambi.htmThought you guys might find it funny to see this. I got a little stupid one night at 3am when I was going to pick up somebody who had too much to drink. I never even saw the damn thing, I just know the police told me it was a fawn from...

I *was* paying $180 per month full coverage on a 1999 GSX. I'm 21 with two tickets, one for not obeying a traffic signal and another for speeding. I am not under my parents insurance, but simply on my own.Notice the *was*. I totalled my car about 3 weeks ago from a stupid deer. I hate...

Looks like Mitsubishi is gonna have their way with me. They said the recall is only issued up to May '98. Because my car is a 99 they will not cover it under the safety recall, and because my car has a salvage title due to a small hit to the right front (total repair costs were about $1500, i...

Thanks Doug. When I was waiting for the tow truck my mother supposedly looked up the nearest dealer online and that is where it is being towed to. I didnt know about this recall when it happened on Saturday and I just suspected the rear differential. I do remember looking underneath the car and...

Guys I hate to post again to this topic as if it hasnt been posted to enough. But I am curious if anyone has had the xfer case warrenty performed on anything newer then a 98 AWD. I was driving to base today when I started getting an odd jerky feeling. I pulled off on the next exit and about 10...

Exhaust mani, also have a 1g head here which I wont be putting on for some time but would like to get it done anyways for when I do.

Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for port work in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area? Specifically, I live in Eau Claire, WI which is about 1.5 hours away from the cities. I could go a little beyond the cities but not much further. Or if anyone knows somebody on the otherside of Eau Claire...

I agree that for the money you should just get a Magnus sheet metal intake, but does anyone have any information on having their exhaust manifold extrude honed?

Where do you get the stainless oil line for the T28? Ive seen some out there but theyve all said not for use with a T25 or T28........oh ya, and its not necessary to pull the radiater out when installing the Big T28 is it? Friend told me it was and I am looking at getting one in about a...

Thanks for the reply's guys. I *may* still go with a Big16g kit from Forced Performance but either way, I wont have any of the supporting mods done before putting it on. I will be adding those on over the course of the summer as funds are available. I wont even bother with 550's or 190lph pump...

Looking at going with a FP BigT28 in about a month. Just curious if an upgraded fuel pump, fuel injectors, and or S-AFC would be needed for this. I know it is a good upgrade over the T25, but just not sure if it is enough to necessitate the immediate (but eventual) upgrade of the above stated...

Thanks larryd, Ya I was searching and I found a little stuff on it but it wasnt informative enough for me to feel absolutely confident. I finally jumped in on a similar thread that already had many posts and got the answer I was looking for right away. I understand that changing the head wont...

In addition to his question about throttle body/intake, is a NT 1g head the same as a 1g Turbo head? I know the cam's are different, but the head itself is physically identical, no?

Sorry I dont wanna sound like a pest to anyone but any advice I could get AS SOON AS POSSIBLE would be greatly appreciated (ie the next couple hours since the auction for this head will be up within that time frame. As far as I understand, only the cams are different. If anyone knows anything...

Im still learning a LOT about this stuff, but isnt the head from a NT still physically different then a turbo of the same exact year? I believe I saw some earlier posts about oil squirters being different or is that just in the short block? If there is anything about the NT head that might mean...

Please any reponse would be helpful as to the 1g N/T head. This head is up for auction and will not be so much longer. Main thing I'm wondering is if the head is in fact the same as the turbo heads of the same year. Any help is *greatly* appreciated.

Curious if any problems would be encountered by taking a 4g63 1g non-turbo head and putting it on my 2g, due to the increased flow capabilities of it. It is from a 94 eclipse. It would not come with cams, so would the 2g cams go into it? (this isnt too important cus I might just go with...

guess that answers that question....heh

I got my plugs/wires in and changed those immediatly. Problem solved. Appeared as though oil was barely leaking out from the cover and got down in the plug wells. Couldnt tell at all. Plugs looked just right, and I couldnt see any signs of arcing on the cables. Car is sitting in storage for the...

Ok guys, just a little curious on your opinions here....What are all the ways you can think of to reduce your DSM's weight, while still maintaining street legality?? :)Oh ya, and so the car atleast *appears* like a daily driver...-James

ok, was gonna say, i dont know much about these things yet but the way I understood that, it was kind of a given. :)-james

dude you have the back to the future car-4.463 1/4 mile!!!your traveling back in time!!!

Does anyone have any tips on how or where the hell I can dyno my '99 GSX AWD? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!-James

from my limited knowledge when you let it slip you are generally taking some force off the tranny, but wearing your clutch out that much faster.then again if you drop it into gear, your saving your clutch but beating the tranny."But if you plan on any future mods, including bigger turbo...

Actually yes, I did Simply ordered some NGK plugs and wires and it works like a charm again. Old ones went bad I think from a bad oil cap leaking oil into the plug wells.-James

Ok I replaced the filter and it didnt seem to do anything. I have plugs/wires that should be here tomorrow and I'll give them a whirl. Hopefully they do the job.-James

I am getting a similar problem right now. I thought maybe it was my fuel filter or spark plugs/wires. I changed the fuel filter since it it was cheap and that didnt do it. I have some plugs/wires on the way.Does it happen at a certain amount of boost? Or does it vary every time?Mine...

Ok, I eliminated a few things today.Tank was low, so I filled with gas to try out the fuel idea. Still does it.I pulled the spark plugs and they look ok. On the lighter grayish side but they seem ok. There isnt any possible way that it could be knock could it? That would be some...

I thought about the gas, but if it were bad gas it should have been doing it as soon as I filled it, no? If there was water in the gas that would make it dog at any time, not just 10+ PSI? Not sure exactly. Thanks for the response though!!Any other ideas?

Car was running fine today. Got done with class, hopped in, took it down the street, turned a corner and gunned it a little, and it felt as though it was cutting out very roughly. I let off right away and it drove fine. Took it out to a highway and tried it out and discovered that almost exactly...
