Went to the track for the first time with my current Talon this weekend. All stock, ran a 15.80 @ 85.14mph. I was kinda disappointed, not gonna lie and i felt kinda weak coming from a Talon that ran 11's. But it was fun and now i have a stock time so i can begin building and see how far i...
Hey guys, i have a big handling/alignment issue. I bought my car from a kid back in august 2010 who said he put the car into a curb at about 30MPH on the driver side the previous winter and never bothered to fix it. Well now that the season is coming around again i wanna get this fixed before...
What are you guys paying for a gallon of gas? I just went and filled up my car and paid $3.78/gallon for 91, and i'm sure it's worse other places. I took a little drive over to a Cenex station to see what E-85 is and it's at $2.76/gallon, but they haven't had any all winter long and don't know...
I went out to start my car for the first time in about 4 days and it cranked for an abnormal long period of time before firing. When it did fire it idled roughly for about 3 seconds and died. So i turned it over again and i had no compression. I pushed the car into the garage to take a quick...
I was wondering if anyone has the Prosport electrical boost guage. I'm new to electrical boost guages. My question is how do you wire the pressure sensor to the gauge itself?
Today i popped the hood on my car to stare at my engine. I noticed all the coolant line were sweating. I wiped my finger across a couple of them and it was oil. Anyone know wtf would cause this or why my coolant lines are sweating oil? The car hasn't ran for about a week.
So last night i was on my way home and i decided to do a third gear pull down a straight stretch of road. I went about half throttle and it started spitting and stuttering. I went WOT that it started popping and backfiring. It backfired once really loud and i backed off and the lights went...
Okay here is my problem. I blew a head gasket about a month ago. Or so i thought. I had a slimy, yellowish, lotion like substance in my cooling system. I've never seen anything like it before. I pulled my head off and replaced the gasket. The head was resurfaced and i sanded the block and...
I have oil in my coolant. A lot of oil. I just replaced the HG on my car with a Cometic gasket. I drained my oil and there is no coolant in the oil. My question is how common is it that the oil cooler cracks/gets crushed? Could that be my problem? I took off the oil filter and the hollow...
Who put the timing belt on? Sometimes what happens is the oil pump sprocket gets put on backwards. The way you tell is there is a hole in the back of the block. You unscrew the bolt and stick a screwdriver up there. If it fits in its on right. If it doesnt fit in its on backwards. When that...
So i just bought my friends 96 TSI AWD. I finished up the head gasket job last night and put everything back together. Me and my buddy took it out for a ride and every stoplight/stop sign i press the clutch and slow down and the RPMs fall off and the engine dies. The battery light came on and...
I'm looking at widebands. I've heard only good things about the Innovate motorsports LC-1 kit. If i buy the LC-1 guage kit is that all i need for a standalone wideband setup?
For a while now i've been comtemplating taking the power steering out of my 98 GSX. I was just wondering who has done it and if it's a good idea or not. Thanks in advance for your input:thumb:
My power steering was whining really loud one really cold morning so i pulled into the garage before work to look at the fluid level. I popped the hood and under the reservoir there is a giant puddle of PS fluid. It looks like the fluid had backed up in the line and was running out the top of...
