Have a buddy running a w4a33 auto.
He’s been through three pumps in just under 6 months.

Car went 300 miles and then lost the pump. Replaced the pump and then made it 20+ miles. Then that pump broke.

By the third time, he asked for my help as I’ve rebuilt a handful of autos and said I wasn’t the best at it but I’ll take a look and help him figure it out.

So we replaced the pump for a third time, did a quick inspection of some of the internals. It all checked out and...

My name is Peter, I'm from Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. I've been lurking the forums for the past few months and finally joined and want to start hunting down a car I've had on my bucket list since I was a kid.

I'm no stranger to DSM's or JDM vehicles in general, I've had more cars that I want to admit. But it all started from the age of 16.

I won't get into too much detail about my car history but just a run down. What started it all for me was a 1992 Eagle Talon TSi, an insurance...

I'm ready to start gearing up on producing coilovers for you guys and I've had a ton of response here; so let me first thank you all for the warm welcome. What I'd like to do is start with a baseline. I already have the specs I need to pump out 2G AWD and FWD coilovers, but I'd like to pair up with someone that's currently in the market so we can both help each other.

I'd like to do our entry-level SR model to establish a baseline...

So after 4 years of doing my own work on the car and enjoying everyday of it, including the ones I sat in a corner and cried ahahah, I had to take her to a shop.

Shop #1: They resealed the intake manifold and re-did a bunch of vacuum hoses to fix a idle issue that was not throwing a code for whatever reason. Fixed nothing, so they charged me nothing.

Shop #2: Just put new belts on it since the car was there but with a misfire code P0300 (random misfire)....

You can see my build profile but to say in advance, 90% of the stuff is already replaced with new OEM stuff as I was fishing to fix the issue,

The issue: The car has a big ass loss of power and while it does have it, it jerks and engine brakes hard/violently from around 3k rpm all the way to 1500 where it lets off and coasts as it should

Most of the power loss is from 1k rpm and up to...

I left the tubular subframe because it was a huge pain in the ass and I'm really wanting to go a different direction with this car. The last one was all out racecar and this one is going to be very OEM but with some nice touches here and there. I've come to appreciate original 90's cars much more and I like this car so...

This thread is to see just how many people are willing to pay for one. I’ve talked with some fabricators, but most are either too busy with higher value work, or don’t want to take the time to prototype for just one or two units.
