Today I sold my beloved VR4, to KingMarty here on the board. It was a tough decision, but Martin was a good fit for the car, knowing he would take care of it and not hack it, as I have seen so many turn into roaches due to that. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone here who, over the...
It appears I am selling my car this weekend to KingMarty, so I am selling the car cover. It was custom hand made of very heavy fabric, with tie downs for security. It fits like a glove, absolutely perfect, and still fits okay with a roof rack. It cost $500 to have made, selling it for $200.
I just put the stock cams back in the car along with the stock 1G MAS because I was having issues with the car stalling. I plugged in my palm and started dialing in the safc and for some reason, at idle the O2 trims goes all the way lean to 167. It creeps its way up to that after about 5...
My turbo xs boost controller seems to have sprung a leak and is sucking air, so I am looking to replace it. Any suggestions on a cheap and reliable boost controller?
I have a good 3G #482 MAS with pigtail to the 1G connector and K&N filter I just took off my car to put it back to stock. $100 plus shipping for it all.
I was reading the factory manual on checking the TPS, and they call for some special tool. Is there another way to check this thing for the .48-.52V its supposed to be at?
I am thinking of putting the stock cams back in the car tomorrow, never done it before, and was wondering how you identify which cam is intake and which is exhaust?
Today I was digging around under the hood, mostly cause I was bored, and looked at the fuel regulator solenoid and wondered just what it does? Mine isn't hooked up, as one of the first things I read when I got the car years ago was to unhook it. But can anyone, just out of curiosity, tell me...
I am thinking about changing out my cams this weekend and had questions about the procedure. I read somewhere that when doing this, I don't have to mess with the timing belt if I put zip ties around the cam gear to hold it in place, then I can swap out cams no worries. Is this accurate? And...
I am sure most of us have seat belt release buttons that have turned to white over the year and look like crap. Has anyone tried to paint them or restore them to their previous look? Once I tried painting one, and the paint just fisheyed like crazy. So that won't work
Okay, I am greasy, buzzed, and pissed. How the hell do you get to the lower bolt on the alternator to change it out?? Can they make an alternator any more difficult to change??
I know these cars are notorious for bad shifting, but I want to get the issue resolved with it being hard at times to get into reverse. The transmission has been replaced with an upgraded Jacks, and it had the issue on both transmissions. Shifter bushings have been replaced with solid bushings...
I am looking for a core to rebuild and a guy says he has a 1990 motor to sell. Is there any difference between the 90 motors? Also, I am going to do a 3 bolt lsd conversion and if I recall, all I need to get to make it work is axles from a 1G DSM. Is that accurate?
I am thinking of building a motor for the car, now that it looks like I am keeping it. gotta love the girlfriend that encourages keeping such a car and not getting something more practical She enables my addictions. One gripe that I have is how the car runs with the AC running, the car really...
I am still up in the air as to whether or not I am keeping my car, but one thing I will address if I keep it is the strut/spring combo. I have the H&R springs with AGX adjustable struts, and the car is bouncier than I would like. For me, it doesn't feel refined or tuned right. Maybe if the...
I was wondering if anyone here sold the shifter base bushings similar to the ones on dsmparts.com, the ones that replace the rubber ones at the base of the shifter. I would prefer giving my money to someone here rather than them.
A friend recently picked up a 90 Talon Tsi and the motor is making a light knocking noise. The car seems to run fine, just that noise. I was wondering what noise balance shaft bearings can make when they are on their way out? its not loud enough to be a rod
I have MMCD 1.8 on my Palm and for some reason, I'm not getting all the readings I should be able to read. All I get are on page 1 RPM, INJD, KNCK, FTRL, FTRM, FTRH, FT02. Is there some preference or something I am missing??
Its time for a change, so she is up for sale. I have had her for 7 years when I bought her from the second owner, completely stock with 135k on the odometer. The previous owner had the head rebuilt and normal maintenance items done. Since then, I have done a lot. Current mileage is about 182k...
I am setting the BISS today and from the VFAQ I am having a hard time telling what pin at the diagnostic plug to ground out. And naturally I want to make sure I do the right one so I don't f anyhthing up. Now is the pin, supposedly pin 10, the third one from the left on the bottom row if you are...
I can't get my palm to sync with my newer laptop with Vista, so I am looking for something that will allow me to use my laptop to log. Hopefully it is free.
I was just looking into the procedure to replacing the ISC or stepper motor, which I plan on doing tomorrow, and in the manual all I can find are testing procedures. Is there anything that needs to be done other than taking out the old one and putting in the new one? I thought somewhere I read...
So my idle has been giving me grief for some time, and I am ready to just start replacing parts. Symptom...coming to a stop, push in the clutch, it dies sometimes. Or it almost dies and searches around for the idle, fluctuating 500rpm's or so. Sometimes is fine. I am thinking first trying a new...
From what I can tell, I need a idle control motor, and with how f'ing expensive they are, I need to find the best price. Any suggestions on who that might be?
Hey, I am going to have my exhaust person weld in the bung for the wideband, and was wondering where the best place to put it is. The car uses the Evo 3 exhaust housing. Thanks!
So with my original trans, and two transmissions later, the shifter sometimes is hard to get in gear at a stop, mostly first thing in the morning. Sometimes reverse, sometimes first. Its like its binding. If I roll the car forward or backward, depending on which gear I am trying to get into, it...
I have a stainless battery tray that someone here was selling to mount a smaller battery by the strut tower, and was wondering what battery to use. I have a decent stereo with amps in the car, so I need something that can handle that, but has to be small enough to mount in the tray. Any suggestions?
Before I dive into this and try to fix it, what would cause the speedo to quit working? I pulled the speedo out, and the cable interface to the speedo looks fine. And I tried to spin the cable by hand and I couldn't, so I don't think its broken. I drove the car with the gauge cluster out and the...
I am thinking of getting out of the "tuner" thing and back into muscle cars, so I am putting out the feeler on interest in mine. Check out my link, and talk to any northern California people to vouch for the clean condition of the car. It has 180k on it, head was rebuilt some time back. New...
My AC will blow cold air for a bit, then ambient for a long time, then cold, then will just blow ambient. I had it recharged, so the pressure should be fine. Is there a switch that may be bad? The compressor seems to come on and off a lot as well.
I was going to get rid of the three vacuum lines coming off the throttle body that are for smog related things. Can I just disconnect those 3 and cap them, or do I need to cap off the other ends such as at the EGR also?
so I have been struggling with the car stalling at stops for some time, and now I am over it. Its worse when the motor is loaded, such as running the lights, and real bad when running the AC. It died every stop today with the AC running. I have replaced the speed sensor, checked the idle motor...
I am thinking of putting some black seat covers on my front seats to help preserve their condition, and to keep from cooking my ass this summer. Has anyone put some on their car that fit well and look good? I figure the generic fit ones will probably look okie.
First, my girl uses shitloads of sunscreen, and its on the leather. How can I clean that greasy white film off without drying out the leather?
Second, about a year ago I remember reading about the hood hinges rattling and making a noise that seems to come from the interior. Well mine is doing...
A short time ago, I bought an 88 Conquest with a blown head gasket. it ran, but blew steam. I just got done doing the head gasket, drove it around the block, and noticed a slight amount of milkyness in the oil. Well the car had sat for 5 years, so I hoped it was just condensation or coolant that...
Okay, who here has the best price on an ACT 2100. My Clutchnet clutch crapped out after a year, so no more of those. Unless Jesse wants to warranty it Anyhow, let me know.
Upon inspecting my transmission for a bearing type whine, which is relatively new and from a popular builder, the mechanic noticed the top hose for the EGR was off. This is the second time this has happened. The hose seems to be a normal fit. Any idea why this is?
So I have this issue with the trans area. When the car is moving it is most noticeable, and its a whine when the clutch is in motion. When fully depressed, no noise. The shop I just talked to said if the noise occurred with the clutch full depressed, then most likely the throw out. But with the...
I'm looking to get some new KYB GR2's and was wondering who you guys have had the best pricing and service with. Rock Auto is pretty low at about $50 each, but I have never dealt with them. Thanks
