Its a VDO gauge :rolleyes: lol. Well the VDO gauge has been to 225 degrees before and the stock instrument gauge never rose for some reason...hmmmm. I do notice my upper radiator hose is pretty warm, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Also, its not to the point where my...
Sometimes, whenever I go to start my car, , and its like a total loss of power. I then pop the hood, adjust the battery terminals a little bit until I hear this clicking noise in the upper left quadrant of the engine bay, and then I'm able to start my car...why lol?
It appears that I am running a little warm...Why would my stock instrument cluster gauge register a normal reading for water temperature while my aftermarket pillar gauge registers the water temperature at around 220 degrees :hmm: ? It will very rarely go beyond 220 degrees as I am driving...
Thanks lol. Are there any 02 housings that would work for this or would it have to be a custom fabricated part? Or...would a holset hx35 or hy35 be more "do-able"?
I found a Borg Warner GM8 turbo at a local Pick-n-Pull today and was wondering if it would be better than the stock t25 I have now? I'm pretty sure it needs to be rebuilt. Anyone have any experience with these turbos? I wouldn't be installing it right away, but rather saving it for when I get...
Thanks for the info guys.Justin, from what I've read and seen on these forums you run an awesome shop, and I hope to have you rebuild one of my turbos some day:thumb:. How did you start out? Was it from the ground up, or is running a shop something you knew you wanted to do, and you just...
I just wanted to make a few inquiries as to how people started their business, and steps they have taken to make it successful. I definitely do not own my own business, I'm just curious as to what makes shops such as Buscher, Magnus, etc, so successful? Sometimes I think about starting one, but...
In Panama City Florida, everyone could care less about emissions haha. My buddy on here, v8s_are_slow, is running his exhaust right through the side of his bumper and nobody had ever batted an eyelash over it. That being said, emissions are no problem down here...thankfully. ( I know this is off...
I'm doing some maintenance on my car and while in the process my friend was wondering if we could delete the emissions without having a CEL come on?
Thank you in advance.
I thought some of the wide body kits were pretty decent, and I loved underground 2's open world gameplay. You could even dyno your car in that one lol! Just for fun I would put hydrolics on my car, and make it bounce up and down, and then just as it started to go up I would use all my NO2 so...
My car has some slight orange peel and overspray from previous owner:notgood:. I was wondering if I applied some 3m guide coating and then wet sanded it, if that would get rid of it.:hmm:. Thanks in advance guys,
Awesome build man:hellyeah:. Just wanted to ask a quick question. Were those Avid Racing Mounts Difficult to install? I've read posts from other members who had difficulty installing the mounts. Any issues?
Lol I could care less about the 50 jtmcinder, I assure you my complement was sincere ,and, its unfortunate you had to sell that gorgeous thing:sosad: konis huh....ill see what I can find, and thanks for the input man.
Jtmcinder you have a gorgeous talon lol, I could swear that mine is the exact same color. I know this is off topic but I had to let you know lol. So you guys think I should just save my money and pass on the kybs?
Nope, that's not them. These had the two cog looking adjustable plates on them like coilovers do. Could someone maybe have added some type of coilover " kit" to them?
Went to Pick'n'Pull the other day and saw on a 95 GST what appeared to be some KYB Coilovers??? I didn't think they made coilovers...never the less these were in pretty decent condition. What do you guys think?
Welllllll.......new thermostat solved this problem lol. Out with the old, in with the new and v'oala overheating issue solved . Thanks for the help guys.
Thanks for the input fellas. Sorry it took so long for me to reply, I was at work. How do I check to see if there is air in the system? I do see a sensor mounted right on top of the thermostat housing and it likes like sealent may have been used. I was thinking my thermostat could've been stuck...
I don't understamd why my aftermarket water temp. gauge(installed by previous owner) says my water temp is 220 at idle and my stock one says its normal or in the middle.I'm thinking the guy who had it before me mightve tapped the wrong source for water temp maybe, or installed it wrong some...
Yeah his IC piping is all silicone. It's pretty cool. What are the benefits with a setup like that? Heat soak resistant? Not hard to disassemble when you get into a wreck? Thanks for the reply.Looking at that site makes me wonder, this is probably really stupid to ask so you'll have to forgive...
Since this forum classifies me as a lurker, I'm prohibited to post in any other sub forums so I'm sorry if this does'nt fit in here. Anyway, I was wondering if there were any silicone IC pipes? My friend has 3'' silicone intercooler piping and I don't know where the heck he got it from. I would...
Lol of course, I'm not going to just throw a bunch of bolt-ons on my car without knowing the engine can support it, I'm no pro, but even I know better than to do that lol:thumb: Thanks guys.
Sorry about that, yes I ment the exhaust manifold lol. Thanks for the reply.What about the Forced Performance intake? Would that bolt up to the stock turbo and the 16g?
Would I be able to use the forced performance intake manifold with my stock turbo? I eventually plan on upgrading to an evo 3 16g with the supporting mods so I would also like to know if it would work with that turbo as well? Thanks in advance.
Are there ever any DSM meets in Panama City Florida? I would love to hang out and learn some stuff from more experienced and seasoned enthusiates, so is there anyone else in PC that drives a DSM that's not riced out because the only one I know of is mine, and if so I'd love to hang out or...
I'm scared to wash my car because I don't want to mess the paint up.Could you guys give me some tips?What products and techiques do you guys use?Thanks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thanks for all your replies guys. I have a few more questions if you dont mind me asking. I'm just trying to get all the info I can lol.:- Hard intercooler piping. What brand? Where do I get it from? how easy...
