Hey guys and gals! It has been a while since I have been active much on this site. Unfortunately, I come with some bad news (about myself). On Saturday September 5th, I had to undergo a below knee amputation of my right foot due to a serious infection of my entire mid foot after 20 months of...

Hey DSMers,I am moving out of state AND I no longer have my DSM. This makes my collection of DSM parts expendable. I am giving most of my parts away with a couple that I am selling really cheaply. These are not yet posted on Craigslist yet (unless previously posted prior to this offer).The...

Well, I just went to go and start the car but the car won't start. Engine turns over but it won't start. I don't have the time to work on it...

Hey guys, I have done some searching and it seems most of the write-ups and such are for a lot of the AN steel braided setups. The one I am using is a pushlock setup. Ultimately, I was hoping to put it above the brake booster but with the pushlock fitting, its waaaay to long to put there.I...

So if you are like me, you are tired of your AC pulley squeaking and squealing when it rains and that slight squeak while the engine is idling. I checked with the stealership and they want almost $200 for the pulley and bracket replacement. I of course refused to pay this. I had a second set...

Ok so I have been dealing with this for a while. My ac pulley is old and squeaks a lot. I am sick of it. I had a second pulley that was pulled from a sitting car that sqeaks as well. Now I attempted to pull the sealed bearing apart and repack it, reseal it, and re-use it... probably made it...

Before I explain the AC problems that I am having let me give a little background info.

Once you remove all the the intercooler should just drop right out. (If the intercooler intake hose is still connected, now would be the time to remove it.) If you car is not on jack stands then you will have to turn your wheel all the way to the left and pull the bumper out and work it out. If...
