  1. Suspension upgrades by cost

    Whats the ride and ride height like with these? I am not looking to build a race car, and in my limited experience "race" coilovers are not the ride I'm looking for. Think Aston Martin DB7. Fast, sure. But I want to give up 0.1's for comfort.
  2. Suspension upgrades by cost

    I'm looking at options to upgrade the suspension on my street boxcar. It will likely not see the track, and if it does it's just for sheets and giggles. Options for the stock setup are thin with either KYB or KYB, cheap coilovers, or expensive coilovers.I've gone to the KYB route (AGX), and...
  3. 1991 Summit White Partout *UPDATED March 2023*

    That's what I feared. Thanks.
  4. 1991 Summit White Partout *UPDATED March 2023*

    Any chance you have the plastic A pillar interior piece for the drivers side or the clear "VR-4" plastic piece just above the rear bumper on the right?TIA
  5. Mediocre s16g, so now what??

    Thanks for the heads up. I have a Evo Maf, although using it gives me tons of false knock. Like 2% throttle, 1800rpm, no boost, what the h-.... I get phantom knock anyways, but with the 399 MAF I get more for some reason. 100 oct, still get counts. The 399 with an open air filter (ie not in...
  6. Mediocre s16g, so now what??

    Finally made some progress. Flattened the flange of the BOV, so that seals. Completed the FMIC, and did the BLT good for 25#. Also redid the injector seals because those were leaking. I do have a little leak at the throttle body axle, which is frustrating because I did that not too many...
  7. Car won’t start. Need help!!

    I don't think it's the problem, but both sides of that board seem a bit unclean. Maybe a paint brush; I don't know what if any chemicals to use?
  8. Car won’t start. Need help!!

    This might help? https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/bad-isc-destroying-ecu.269343/
  9. Steering Rack. Knocking, rebuild?

    On RockAuto I found Edelmann (?) seal kit EDELMANN 8658. Link is here...
  10. Car won’t start. Need help!!

    Keep us informed about progress.
  11. Car won’t start. Need help!!

    That would be the safe thing to do. Personally, I think it's largely unnecessary, as I don't suspect the ECU. But I'm also wrong. A lot.If time was not a concern, sending it in would rule out the ECU. If time is a concern, I wouldn't hesitate to use the new cable and carry on.
  12. Check your shift linkage

    And it's' relatively cheap and easy. It's hard to beat cheap, easy, and makes a noticeable improvement.
  13. Car won’t start. Need help!!

    They did for me about 2 years ago. Same symptoms, green light would flash when connected, but nothing else. It seemed like there was an internal connection that was there technically, but any load with overwhelm the connection and it would short out.The popping sound makes it seem like...
  14. Check your shift linkage

  15. Car won’t start. Need help!!

    How long does it take for rpms to get to around 2K? Maybe it's an O2 issue. How is your set up?
  16. Car won’t start. Need help!!

    Regarding the cable, mine did the same and it was the cable itself. Ask for a new one. They were really good about sending one out when the same thing happened to me. In the meantime, you can sometimes jiggle some stuff around the boxes and get it to work. I remember taping the cable to the...
  17. Check your shift linkage

    After 235k miles, I've decided to rebuild my shift linkage. Turns out, 2 sets of bushings have been missing from the shift linkage. Funny thing is, this car has been in the family since new. The car was bought as the demo for the dealership. Unfortunately, my father who bought the car, has...
  18. Mediocre s16g, so now what??

    I know, I know. Many of you have been waiting with baited breath.Turns out I'm also leaking like a sieve on the intake side too. I got a new BOV from TurboSmart, PN TS-0203-1226, for a GTR that fits the flange perfectly! If only my flange was flat... It came with a new paper gasket (I've...
  19. Mediocre s16g, so now what??

    IC in hand. New actuator in car. SAME BOOST levels. Frustrating, right? Im 80% convinced its the turbo, but since 1700 buck is a lot of 'em, I have a couple of other things to test.Greddy Profec was tested and that seems to be good.New actuator tested with an advertised 15# spring...
  20. Mediocre s16g, so now what??

    I do realize that it'll take more than just the turbo. But I don't have questions about those parts right now. I think my 190 Wally will produce enough gas, but it'll be at the limit. Probably bigger injectors too. IC is being shipped.For future reference, time slips mean nothing to me.
  21. Mediocre s16g, so now what??

    The bastard 20G was another option that I have read about and considered. I don't think the e316g is going to get me where I want to go ultimately, but if it worked right it would do for now. I'll contact Justin and see what he says.
  22. Mediocre s16g, so now what??

    Actuator is ordered. Stock looking turbo is a must for smog, and frankly I just dont want the fight. I was looking at that turbo, but I didn't know if there were better options. I'll report my progress with the new actuator and see if that is my cause for lack of boost.
  23. Mediocre s16g, so now what??

    Some progress. I tested the wastegate actuator with a Mityvac, and I got movement around 11psi. I increased the preload, but it didn't seem to make a difference per the Mityvac. Then today I was driving around and decided to try and turn the EBC all the way down. Boost was limited to about...
  24. Mediocre s16g, so now what??

    I have a S16g that doesn't want to make more than 15psi though a EBC. This is a cheap ebay turbo that's probably 10-15 year old that I suspect has a cracked housing, and I'm mildly surprised it has done as well as it has.Before I replace, is there a way to confirm that the turbo is my issue...
  25. No crank/no start

    So far, so good! The starter is in, the connections are cleaned, and they are tight. it started right up, now time will tell if it stays that way.For future people, the hardest part of it is getting the starter in and out. This maybe an indicator that I need to clean up my engine bay a bit...
  26. No crank/no start

    You are right. The wiring sub harness needed and received some attention. The trans ground was missing about 3 inches of insulation, the positive lead off the back of the starter was missing about an inch of insulation. Both got some shrink tubing and electrical tape over. A reman'ed starter...
  27. No crank/no start

    At this point, I don't know whether I should be happy or not. It starts now, although it seems a bit finicky and I don't have a ton of faith that I'll make it home from where ever I go. But here's what I've found so far...The clutch down switch is disconnected now. I'm not sure its...
  28. No crank/no start

    I've fingered the connections on the starter, and they felt okay. Is there a better way to check these connectors without pulling the starter itself? I went in from top of the passenger side, and I couldn't see what I was touching. Is access any better from underneath?I'll be back at this in...
  29. No crank/no start

    I think the warm engine was a bit of a red herring. I think a suspect connection was made worse by the heat, and now is just open.
  30. No crank/no start

    TB, I've seen your name come up on a lot of these threads. Hopefully, you can help shine some genius my way. The car side of post 4 at the starter relay isn't grounded. I grounded it with a jumper, and that relay clicks but I don't hear the fuel pump when the key is on start. Not sure if that...
  31. No crank/no start

    I haven't done anything significant to the car in a while, say 2 years. It's my daily, and I was just starting to feel cocky about her... The warm/ hot motor may have just been a coincidence, this am no crank no start.I started testing at the triangular connector for the starter harness...
  32. No crank/no start

    I thought I had a dying battery, but it isn't quite that simple. For the last few weeks, the car has been turning over lazily. I let it sit on the battery charger, and then it started more enthusiastically. But especially when it's warm, it turns over slower, and then today it decided not to...
  33. Another sunroof issue

    Or if someone can tell me if either a 1G or 2g mechanism is similar>
  34. Another sunroof issue

    My sunroof has one side that is somewhat lame. It doesn't prop up when closing the roof, and doesn't pop up when trying to vent. I've done some research, and it appears that a plastic pin or something has probably broken, and that this situation was at the time unserviceable.Is this still the...
  35. Good 4WS alignment shop in So Cal?

    I'm getting heavy wear on the outside of my two fronts.I dont think my local shop is doing something right with the 4 wheel steering (still active), as I've read that can cause similar issues.Anyone know a place in So Cal that wont treat it just like "any other car"?Live in Ventura County...
  36. Need ECMLink mentor in So Cal

    I live in Southern California (Ventura County), and I'm looking for a ECMlink guru/mentor to help guide me.I've got 'link and a WB working correctly. I've watched many videos. I've posted on the ecmtuning.com forum page with mixed results.I'm running the EVO 8 fuel and timing maps, but...
  37. Any one got an V3 ECMLink cable?

    You are bound and determined to help me out, aren't you? Three weeks wont be a problem.I read a previous post on another forum stating some older V3 cables develop a short in the little box that houses the led. If you squeeze the middle of the larger sides away from the led light, then it...
  38. Any one got an V3 ECMLink cable?

    The following was cut and pasted from my posts on the ecmtuning forums. If someone has an idea of what to look at, that would be awesome. If you have a ecmlink cable that I can borrow, that would be equally as awesome!It's been a frustrating day.I was rechecking the ISC and TPS...
  39. I need to borrow a stock air filter can

    I FOUND MY BOX!!!Thanks for everyone willing to help me out. I DO appreciate it. It's just one reason I love this community.
  40. I need to borrow a stock air filter can

    To clarify, I need both parts of the can (the lid and the mount). Without the lid, CA smog will see that as a mod and I'll fail visual inspection.
  41. Anyone know a part number for JDM GVR4 o2 Sensor?

    Hopefully someone who is more informed will respond soon.It's my understanding that USDM 4 wire sensors are two for the heater, and two for signal. If JDM are just 2 wire, then those are signal wire; connect those two and your good to go.Obviously, the correct piece would be the way to...
  42. I need to borrow a stock air filter can

    I am more than happy to pay for shipping.PM sent.Thanks!
  43. I need to borrow a stock air filter can

    Registration and smog are coming up, and for the life of me I can't find my stock air filter can. I have an EVO MAF with an open generic air filter, which won't fly with the smog refs.I have the original MAF. If someone can help me out with the stock air filter can for a couple of days, I'd...
  44. PSA - check your fuel filler hose

    FYI, I cut off the ends of my old tube to help determine the length of my new tube. They were not originally that frayed.
  45. PSA - check your fuel filler hose

    Less than two years ago, my OEM fuel filler hose sprang a leak. I found a thread on here that gave a great tutorial on how to replace it using stock diameter elbows (1 5/8"). I bought mine from fuelfillersupply.com.Lately, I've been smelling gas when I exit the vehicle. I suspected the fuel...
  46. Best Place to Source Quality Brakes

    I'm on stock wheels and rubber. Don't the outlander brakes require 16" wheels?
  47. Sun visor clip

    I broke my sun visor clip, passenger side if it matters. Any one know of a source or what vehicles share our parts? I did a cursory view of Eclipse clips, and they appear to be different.
  48. Best Place to Source Quality Brakes

    The hawk hp 5.0 are NOT what I was looking for. Had to stop several times on a 20 miles canyon drive to wait for them to cool down. Pedal would get a little soft, very stinky, and smoking by the end road.The good news is my pedal never left, it just required more effort. But clearly was...
  49. Best Place to Source Quality Brakes

    I am on 4 bolt wheels. I ordered slotted power stops from 3 different places that offered them, but no one had them in stock and the manufacturer wasn't going to make any in the forseeable future. Hopefully Carid is a different story.
