Usually, crappy gas mileage and the "holding back" is due to running pig rich. Do you see any smoke coming from your tailpipe? Any unusual discoloration on your rear bumper?The noise may be a throwout bearing, but I haven't heard of it affecting MPG.Try leaning it out or setting the...
My first car was a blue Colt...1.5l 4 speed. That car was slow as balls and unreliable as anything, but I loved it. I couldn't even give it away last year though, so it went to the junkyard. I wish I could have made a project like this, but I already have my 90 Tsi AWD so I didn't need...
So you guys seem to think it's the coolant temp sensor. Would a bad sensor cause the car to overheat?.....(my theory)....if the temp sensor isn't working, the fans won't kick on, causing overheating. Am I close?
Okay my 1g awd auto is overheating and I can't pinpoint why. Here is what I have found so far:The water pump is working.
Fans won't come on, even after unplugging coolant temp sensor.
Coolant temp gauge was reading hot, then read normal temps after I unplugged it and plugged back in...
Just a tip for all you cable customers... Call and tell them you are thinking of switching to Satellite and DSL and you will get a discount on your service. Be sure to ask for a retention or disconnect department. If you are switching from satellite to cable, be sure to tell your sales rep...
The house was/is for real and the guy actually set up lights for his city at a local park to relieve the traffic in his neighborhood. TSO came here about a month ago, but I didn't get to go. The good thing is that they will be back next year, and I am definitly getting tickets. I have heard...
Marti, I've tried to email you and pm you and I haven't gotten a response from you and I haven't gotten my manifold yet either. I just wanted to make sure you haven't forgotten about my order. Please pm or email me.Thanks,Brad

I have several sets of stock 1g cams laying around and am getting ready to put my head back together. The thing is that I can't remember which cams are intake side and which cams are exhaust side. Is there any way to tell which is which?
I printed the page from the vfaq.com site and took it to the machine shop when I dropped off the rods and pistons. It took them about 2 weeks to get done, but they had a lot of other stuff going on. Plus i refuse to go anywhere else. They charged me a $100, but it was well worth it.
Thanks Martin. I can't find one person who has anything bad to say about you or the speed factor, so I'm not worried. I am in fact a supporter too, good luck with everything and I also look forward to doing more business with you in the future. In the meantime, I can wait on the manifold...
Okay, I may not be able to make it on Saturday if I get Bristol tickets. If I do get tickets, I'm coming up on Friday instead. If I don't get tickets, I'll still come up on Saturday. Is there a schedule of times and places we are going to meet? Is there a "leader" that wants to post their...

Just go on ebay and look for another one. If it's the star pattern key, they are really prone to breaking so you need to upgrade to the newer style anyways. My key was a 9 spline and I found a new one for $13 shipped on ebay. I bought it on saturday and it was at my house on monday. PM me...

Well, it would be hard to pass up the deal I am getting. I understand what it would take to build my current 6 bolt, but that's not necessarily what I want. To rebuild my motor and tranny would cost a lot more than what it would cost for me to get this combo.I am mainly wanting to know if...
I'm thinking about buying an evo I motor/tranny/turbo. From my understanding it's rated at 244hp and it has 510cc yellow top injectors, 16g turbo, and 8.5:1 pistons. Are there any other differences between the evo I motors and the USDM 6 bolts? The evo motor will come with it's ecu, should I...
It was on ESPN classic or ESPN 2, I saw it myself and it was a very good documentary. Pat Tillman's story is unbelievable, he was a true American and a very good man. I'd love to sit and watch it again if I can ever find it. I'll have to watch this video too when I get home.
I think tuner transformation is one of the better shows out there right now. They have made several impressive cars up to this point. My favorites so far were the sleeper sti and the 400 whp srt-4. Those cars were freakin raw.
You weren't hurt that bad, just a concussion and he agreed to pay for it, so don't sue. It's not worth taking someone's job over. And besides, if you sue him, you better not ever need medical attention ever again because no one will be willing to help you.
I've had mine done just over a year now and I love it. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I can actually see the alarm clock in the morning when I wake up. It's great. No more carrying around glasses or a spare contact lens. No more saline solution to buy and no more losing a contact in the...
I sold mine for $80 about 2 years ago. I picked it up and 2 infinity 6x9's for $45 from a buddy of mine and since mine didn't come stock with a cd player, it didn't have the amp/wire connections, and it wouldn't work in my car. I made some money off of it plus I got some 6x9's.
DSM90AWD,I can tell just by looking at them. There is almost nothing to them, unfortunately.Does anyone know if using the silicone extensions or the radiator hose hurts with airflow?Thanks for the help ga92tsiawd.
I'm having the same problems that most adfx owners have had. My pipes aren't long enough.Where and how long did you have to extend your pipes? My motor is out of the car so I have no idea how short they are. Can anyone 1g owner tell me the specifics on what they did?
I've always liked Peter, he just seems like a good guy all-around. You can also tell that boxing is his life just by looking at his nose.It's hard not to like any of those guys though. I was kinda hoping that Joey would end up winning, but he got kinda stingy and greedy towards the end...
I gunned it from a stop sign while trying to turn at the same time. I ended up going into someones yard at a 45 degree angle for about 5 seconds until I could get the car back on the road.
For some reason, the guy who was riding with me wasn't impressed with my driving skills. ROFL
It cost me right at $100 to have my 2g pistons installed on my 1g rods. It was done at a reputable shop and probably the best in the area. Now I'm saving for the rest of the bottom end to be put together by them.As for the amount of power you can get, I've already stated my opinion. I'm...
