  1. WTB: power transistor

    I just got a weird hot start issue and I suspect a power transistor. I'd really like to find a cheap known-good power transistor to help me diagnose it. Does anyone have one to spare?
  2. WTB: USDM fogs and side bumper supports

    I want a set in good non-rusty condition.
  3. FS: 92 galant base in junkyard

    I apologize if this is in the wrong place, but there is a 92 galant in my local yard and I am willing to pull any parts people want as long as you cover shipping and the sale price.
  4. WTB: front end components and exhaust

    I am finally getting my car fixed after a front end accident almost 3 years ago. Below is a list of things that I am looking for (car is NB) -hood -front fenders -USDM front bumper -fog lights -headlights -eterna grill -exhaust, preferably 2.5" with an oval muffler (papa wants it quiet)Help me...
  5. Building coilovers suggestions

    Hey everyone, I am throwing around the idea of building my own custom coilovers using evo MR bilsteins. I have already played around with evo suspension, but never really got the ride height I wanted and I was not satisfied with how the springs ended up sitting. I'm also pretty sure I messed up...
  6. FEELER: 91 Nile Black 62/2000 Seattle, 5k

    As some of you may know, I live in New York, but the galant still resides with my parents in Seattle. Some of you also may know that my little brother got into a fender bender with the car a little while ago. I'm posting this feeler thread to explore the option of selling the car to someone here...
  7. New parts for real?

    I was looking at parts.com and apparently I can buy an OEM fogs for just over 100 bucks? That doesn't seem right. Anyone know if parts.com really has these in stock, or do they just say they do, but have to find them when you hit the payment button?click
  8. Questions about a total loss

    As some of you may know, 62 had an accident not too long ago. I got a call from the insurance adjuster yesterday and actually didn't give some bullshit lowball value. She said it was worth $3248, which is reasonable, but still not enough to avoid it being a total loss.So here's my question...
  9. Stock PS pump?... I don't think so

    I need to know what the stock GVR4 PS pump looks like, or perhaps what markings they have. I've been trying to diagnose and fix Tyler's PS leak at the pump, so today I pulled it out to have a look.I have suspected a blown shaft seal based on where I was seeing fluid coming from. After...
  10. Tuning near Binghamton, NY

    Does anyone know of a reputable tuner in the area?
  11. Evo X turbos...

    ...now point the right way. Anyone think about putting one on your car? It would take a custom manifold and O2 housing, but people have made those before.
  12. driveshaft stuff

    I have been pondering about driveshafts because I have worn carriers and it's going to be in my future. Our stock DS is a 3 piece deal.... why?Driveshaftshop makes a 2/3's shaft that takes the place of the front 2 sections but not the rear. Why not have one section? you wouldn't have to deal...
  13. Hmmmm.... my cams

    When fixing my engine earlier this summer, I bought a stock (jdm) head with some cams in it. The cams are made by comp and they are their lightest flavor (very top of the list). To start with, I'm not 100% sure these are the cams I have because I figured it out by my superior powers of...
  14. Discussion on caster

    One thing I have been wrestling with is exactly how caster is defined and why it is defined that way. Of all my searching and reading, caster has been defined as the tilt of the axis created by the top and bottom steering pivots.Caster primarily affects straight line stability because it moves...
  15. Adapting our cruise control for a 323

    I have a friend who has a turbo 323 and he wants to get cruise control in his car, but obviously can't use a vacuum based system. As I've never messed with cruise control before, how difficult would it be to adapt a GVR4 unit to the mazda? Is ours controlled by the ECU, or does it have it's own...
  16. stock corner

    According to Mr. FSM, the front axle supports 2,161 lbs. If we assume that even side to side, then each spring supports 1,080.5 lbs. How accurate is this really?The reason I ask is because I'm trying to find a good solution to my evo suspension headaches. I'm thinking about going with kyb...
  17. Daydreaming about wheels

    As some of you may know, my Rota's aren't going to cut it anymore because I want to put 3kgt trailing arms on 62 in order to get big brakes all around. This, consequently, requires me to do a 5 lug swap and, as my Rota's are 4 lug, I need to find some new wheels.The easiest, most logical, cost...
  18. Evo lowering spring with evo suspension

    I know Garfield is very happy with his Espelir ASD's, but I don't understand how he get the ride height so perfect. According to the evolutionm.net spring rate thread states these give an evo a .79f/.79r drop.Here's what I don't understand. My uncut stock evo 8 rear springs lower the car over...
  19. Evo X front struts/springs... do they work?

    Not really. I'll explain.I found a pair of evo X front struts and springs for cheap. I did this because I got evo 8 rears for free but no fronts and I wanted to see if the X struts would work. As you all know (or should know) evo 8 rears will give your car a nice little drop in the back. I...
  20. Code 23 (CAS), low idle. help?

    I just did my top end and tried taking the car out for the first time this morning.It idles ok, sometimes dropping down low and coughing now and again. When I actually drove it though, it has no power, has lots of vibration, and coughs a lot. The CEL came on so I checked the codes and it was...
  21. Oil pan gasket

    Does anyone use one? How has it held up? Any issues with leaking?Reason why I ask is because I just pulled my pan again and using RTV to seal it is such a huge pain in the ass for taking it off, cleaning it, putting new stuff on, etc. Why can't dropping the pan be as easy as my camaro?
  22. What does the fuel pressure solenoid do?

    In cleaning up vacuum lines, some of you have suggested eliminating the fuel pressure solenoid. What does the fuel pressure solenoid do and why eliminate it?
  23. P/N Request

    I'm looking for the part number of 3gkt front brake anti rattle clip.
  24. Thinking about gauges

    I am going to need to get some gauges pretty soon and I know I'll be getting a boost gauge, but I will have room for where I want to put it for another one. I just wanted to get opinions on what other gauge you all think is a good one to get. I know the stock temp gauge is crap, but in terms of...
  25. 3000gt trailing arm install while keeping ABS and 4WS

    I picked up a set of 2g 3kgt brakes and trailing arms about a month ago and am trying to get everything I'll need together in order to install them while still keeping the ABS and 4WS. To that end, I have a few questions.I pulled the trailing arms from a 3kgt VR4 and was wondering can anyone...
  26. FS: stock suspension

    I'm currently in the process of pulling my stock suspension because I have some evo bits to swap them out for. The stockers have just over 140k on them but they are not sagging, don't squeak, and definitely aren't blown. I am not completely sure on how to price these, so I'll ask for $100 plus...
  27. What do you think about non-OEM gaskets?

    I'm in the middle of getting 62 back on her feet but I am also in a money crunch.I won't put anything but an OEM head gasket on, but what about all the other ones? Do I really need to spend $230 on an all-OEM kit when a Fel-Pro or similar kit goes for waaaaay cheaper?
  28. Carrier bearings - are they borkd? plus pic request

    While I was under my car yesterday, I noticed my driveshaft was drooping in the carrier bearings. I have always had a wub wub and got some washers to shim the shafts, but never got around to it last december. I noticed yesterday, though, that perhaps I just have worn carrier bearings. The...
  29. 'Horrible noise' says my mother. UPDATE with head off pics

    I'm less than 24 hours from getting back home and I get a piece of bad news from my mom. She was driving my car and all of a sudden the car made a 'horrible noise like metal hitting metal' and the engine stopped. I'm assuming its a timing belt failure because its got 140k on it. To top it all...
  30. EB: Stainless Ralliart door sills

    Just thought I would post a link to this if anyone had about 50 bucks to throw at what look to be some nice items. click
  31. esleepy

    I made a shifter for Barry. He was very patient with me, kept up great communication and paid quickly. I'd love to do business with him again.
  32. FS: 17x8 +45 rotas and Blizzak LM-22

    I'm in kinda of a bind financially at the moment. I bought these wheels and tires last year, so they are in as new condition. NO curb rash, only been driven about 5k miles.They are Rota Torque 17x8 +45mm offset in 'full royal sports bronze' with 245/45 Blizzak LM-22's. I'd like to get $1200...
  33. Sway bar discussion

    I know this has been hit a million times before, but I'd like to get more opinions on the matter. After reading a ton of posts brought up by search I'm still a little wary about getting huge sway bars. I'm not exactly sure how big the stock ones are as I don't have my car here in NY to go out...
  34. JDM vs. USDM bumpers

    Is it just me, or do the USDM bumpers stick out farther than the JDM ones?
  35. help with JDMhub

    So I bought some camber plates from them a few weeks ago and the order has been 'processing' ever since. Has anyone else had experience with them?
  36. Just got some evo X front struts

    I just got the Evo X front struts today. I did some measurements on them but don't know the stock dimensions yet, so I can't say whether they will fit or not. The lower holes are both 14mm and are 70mm apart. I'll hopefully get the stock measurements tonight and let everyone know how it works out.
  37. iriaf2001

    Sold Tony my old grill. He communicated well, paid the full price, and is generally an all around nice guy. Thanks Tony, 'twas a pleasure!
  38. Eterna grill emblem size

    I bought an eterna grill that didn't have an emblem on it. Is there anyone out there that can tell me how big it is? I found badges here in carbon that I think would look good. Oh and in case you were wondering exactly which grill I have, here's a picture of it
  39. AWD vs FWD dsm suspension

    Whats the difference? I bought some dsm rear shock lower mounts from a guy but he sent me the wrong thing. Is it possible these are from a FWD DSM? Here's what I wantedHere's what I got
  40. tein or hotbits?

    Im gonna get some camber plates and it looks like I have a choice between tein or hotbits. The thing is, the hotbits plates will be ~50 bucks more. Are they worth that much more? I really like the idea of supporting a smaller, more local company but $50 bucks is quite a bit more expensive. Any...
  41. PLX kiwi wifi

    Last weekend I went to a local meet and had a wonderful time talking with Greg (teamhightower). He had a really sweet guage setup made by PLX. I have been pondering different guage schemes and once again came across their products, especially the wifi bit. Its more expensive than getting...
  42. Upper rear seat removal

    So I guess I'm a little retahded... Its easy to see you have to remove the three bolts at the bottom, but it seems to still be attached at the top. I couldn't for the life of me see any bolts at the top in the trunk. Help!
  43. build #62 - UPDATE 9/10/13 w/ great news

    Warning: this may turn out to be the longest and most boring build of mankind.Goals: reliability, comfort, and mild performance.Background: I bought the car completely stock over the summer and it has been, and will continue to be doing DD duties if everything goes as planned. I don't...
  44. Short shifter build - UPDATE w/ pics

    I've been looking into getting better shift feel and a shorter throw, so I made a shifter similar to the one you can get from JNZ. It was really easy, cheap, and it has a shorter throw than a 1g.I started with an upper and lower shifter arm from a 3000GT.First, I shortened the upper...
  45. Short shifter and camber

    First things first: I've been looking at options for shortening up the throw and improving shift feel. Here's what I've gathered so far:-JNZ sells a short shifter (same design as the mofugas which is NLA), delrin shifter bushings that go on the transmission end of the cables, and a bushing kit...
  46. spotted: White VR4? in WA

    I was going to a buddy's house in lynnwood traveling through brier when a white VR4 took a left in front of me. I flipped a bitch and followed for a bit, just to make sure it was a V and it had all the body work but the badge wasn't on the upper part of the rear. Does it belong to anyone on...
  47. 4ws - not the usual questions...

    I've done lots of searching and looking around at 4ws stuff. The bulk of the threads are either 'how do i fix it' or 'how do i get rid of it' sort of things. I am playing around with something much different.For those of you who aren't familiar with the honda prelude, it also had the option of...
  48. Proud new owner!

    Hey everybody. Just thought i would throw up an intro thread. I just picked up #62 and am very excited to be a member of the community. I bought the car as a replacement for my 1988 camaro that i totalled. Because of this, I find it hard not to make comparisons between the two even though they...
