Quoting NickDub: So I just got the car smogged/registered til 2014 so I am legal to drive it. Also installed a lot of the random parts the previous owner included like:-hood struts -2g mas -manual boost controllerAlso got a killer deal on a set of wheels/tires on craigslist, need one size up...

this is it if this helps

i bought a eprom ecu from a member here with the ecmlink chip, however i bought it quiet a while ago and forget which version i have, is there a way to check? When i do find out what version the chip is ill want to install the ecu. can i just straight plug and play or will i have to make a super...

i sanded and flat black primered. then used a rattle can i got at OSH litterally called Trim Paint. and it looks awesome. could use touch ups here and there but its nicebeforeafter

wow, im loving the intercooler setup. any more specific specs on it? and do you have pics of it with the hood down?

you checked your evap canister? if you still have it. if you over fill/top off your gas tank the gas overflows to the evap canister.

got mine today! cant wait to install them

also i would like to know if the cams lift will make the valves interfere with the pistons at all? also will everything fit?

So my plan is to rebuild my head with go fast parts. Are there any brands that are especially good or bad? I know I don't want hks since they seem over priced for parts.Cams: Brian cower 280/280 Valve springs: manley or supertech dual springs. Arp head bolts Supertech valve guides and valve...

so im bringing this back since my tbelt skipped. i know why it skipped, the pulley side was not tight enough. this time around im doing it right, but its a huge pain in the ass! im not sure if its a common problem or anything but the belts that i have have 153 teeth and are both from Fastnal...

wow, now that is sweet. glws

Quoting brunoboy: I've read they are HKS copies which don't need to be shimmed but I think all cams need to be shimmed and have upgraded springs and retainers. -shanewhat do you mean shimmed?

im looking into buying some 272's and i was wondering if i would have to upgrade the valve springs and retainers or if i could just keep them stock?

Quoting Barnes: So was it done incorrectly when you did it the first time?the reason it stripped was 'cause of a huge coolant leak. and when i put a new belt on i didnt align the balance shafts. its fine now, but it hunts hard for an idle

you might be better off getting the DP an then getting custom tubing from an exhaust shop. it'll be cheaper unless you can get an excellt deal

got mine today! thanks!

well the car is done an up and runnning, im proud of my work but i must admit i dont like doing a timing belt on these cars, especially if the engine is still in the car

so i got the car running again, but now im tryna set my idle since its hunting. im looking for the engine speed connector, or if anyone could point me in the right direction on how to get idle to stop hunting that would be nice

payment sent. hope u got it

so i did a compression test and leak down test to see if any valves were bent. good news and bad news, valves are good. bad news, engine is still not running right.compression was highest at 150 and lowest at 148. leak down lowest at a 8% leak, and highest at 11% leak. - tested at 90psi...

i havnt really had time to work on it this week, but ill make sure to check the oil pump and pray my valves are good

Phew, I'm glad to hear that, I had a horrible coolant leak not too long ago that could have easily soaked the belt, and I'm guilty to say I ignored it and kept putting more coolant so I wouldn't overheat. Also I'm glad to hear that my valves could possibly be ok, ill find it out tomorrow. I was...

yea i shoulda added that the timing cover was all messed up, the crank pully had been rubbing on it and it was hella worn out, also there is alot of oil leaking but could that really strip a belt like that. it litterally happened in like 5 minutes.

the belt stripped at the crank sprocket. belt only had ~12k miles on it

anybody know what could have caused this? (timing belt stripped where the crank sprocket is at)

i need a timing belt cover ASAP. please shoot me an offer, would prefer local for faster pickup, but shoot me an offer anyways. please and thanks

i had a similar problem, however my CEL would turn on randomly, i replaced my knock sensor and its totally fine, i did think it might be a TPS issue and i did order one but never ended up using it. if you can, i suggest reaching back to the knock sensor and just checking to see if its maybe a...

i have mine, and i will give up the fob and the badge if i ever sell it.

well its a sticker. again, i would much rather have 5% tints on all rear windows

i got my windows tinted. i love the tint way more than i love the 4ws sticker. also the guy who did the tints had to take it off anyway otherwise the tint would bubble around the sticker

i guess if its good for stock then woo hoo! haha. but no i dont think so. i havnt been to san jose in a long time

well im glad its normal. im dissapointed though. i gotta get more mods. and yea thats dittos. i went with my buddys challenger club and we got some special group dyno. $55 for 3 pulls.

normal numbers?? i was under the impression they made 200hp stock. also the engine has 12k on it. valve seals can go bad that quick?

perfect. just enough time to get some paychecks together

so maybe a week ago i got my car dynoed hoping i would get some good numbers down. i do have a question though. whats up with the smoke at the end? the guys at the shop said i might have too much vacuum and might be sucking oil past the rings. are they right?? (engine is all stock)also i know...

passenger side gromet. its a bitch to get wires through there though

turned out to be my knock sensor, TPS, and idle screw. problem resolved

problem fixed. got it in. good lookin out shane.this thread can be deleted or whatever

so im replacing my knock sensor. i took it out, but i cannot get the new one in at all. i would really like to get it in today because it is my DD. if anyone in the bay area is willing to help that would be dope, or if anyone would like to walk me through that would be dope too.-nick

Quoting MitsuDriver274: Adjust your idle properly, that includes grounding the timing terminal and then adjusting the idle airscrew until the car idles around 950 rpm, I believe you do it with the lights and a/c on. Most of the time I come across cars that hunt for idle have a bad iac motor or...

engine and ecu are all stock except for a hallman boost controller. so i guess ill try to mess with the IAC. and im pretty sure its not a CAS problem as its stock and ive never heard of a CAS effecting idle hunt

^ +1. i want these if its an easy install and works and fits properly. i currently using a baseball bat as a hood prop

so basically my car hunts for an idle. i turn my car on and idles ok, 1 minute of warming up passes and it hunts. goes to 1500rpm then down to 500rpm. 1 minute of this passes and it stops. idk what it is, i think maybe it could be the IAC or my MAF. I would rather not do an FIAV or EGR delete to...

iv been driving with no power steering for a long time now because of this same problem. shane, can u update when you figure out what is wrong?

PMd. gauge plate wanted here! no gauges though.

damn, looks like i missed it. i gotta keep my eye open for the next round, cuz i deffinatly want one of these shirts

i took mine to 115 on the carquinas bridge late one night and it felt like it was going to fall apart on me. wind was howling, steering wheel was vibrating, and it felt hella loud

i need some. preferably on the bigger side and the cheaper side. i would like to spend around $300 max not including shipping, im flexible though. hit me with what you got. please and thanks

Quoting brunoboy: 4 gaugeyo man switch to zero gauge. no problems here.

thanks to both of u. i shoulda checked the "how to" first
