A speedo cable is a wearing part. It's designed to wear and take a beating so the speedo gear doesnt have to. Its alot easier to replace a speedo cable than a speedo gear in the tranny. Theyre sposta break. :icon_bigg

nice intro to NooB'ism dirgle, that post should be stickied for noobs everywhere. +1 for u

How much boost are you running? you could have a boost leak if its running THAT rich? i know when i get a boost leak wot = black smoke... as far as no cats, i personally still have 2 cats so i dont see any smoke on wot. But yeah i wouldnt mess with the set screw unless you have a way to monitor...

haha nice catch there.. alotta people confuse " and '

i wouldnt mess with any air fuel stuff without propor monitoring. Id say do it right and get a wideband o2 sensor and tune with something like SAFC.. are u running the lexus afm upgrade?

@ stock boost with stock catback with no fuel tuning? if so... good work, but those numbers look pretty reasonable?

ooh a yard sale!! niceee

hey it just came.. looks good, welds look good and no visable probs... i took a couple pics, www.tmobilepictures.com/Xarewhyayen You can also see a couple pics of my column mount custom gauge pod i started working on today there... N-Joy

as compared to a $250-$350 dp, 90 shipped is great, and i already have a 3" elbow on there, a jblmk3 elbow. So it should be a decent gain still above stock :) since im broke im doin my exhaust piece by piece. Got the elbow real cheap, then the dp. Ill be on the market for a high flow cat next...

Thanks man.. i also gave myself a pat on the back... hopefully i get better though haha P.S. Use a dustmask when cutting or sanding.. that stuff is dangerous... and the resin is really really potent... i did it outside. and still had to take breaks for air.

Hm i didnt even see this thread, but i just finished the fabrication of mine today... i just felt like learning some fg stuff so i went out n got some resin n cloth. for my 1st mission i did this haha. I got the first thing i could find that was of similar size to my 2inch gauge. i got the cap...

i think i chose the wrong section to post this... sorry guys.. please move me!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8062290155 ebay downpipe, really cheap.. less than 100 shipped. its 2.5 until right after flex then 3" outlet. Comes with gaskets and bolts. I have one that should be here later today... not from same exact seller, but looks the...

ha! 1 Up for that one. :biglaugh:

are you sure its top end noise? is it like a clunking? could be rod knock.. try stethoscope to see if u hear it louder in the oil pan/bottom end area. thats more likely to develop that quickly than the head.

well, I'd say 1.5jz then. Do your research here theres some good material. If i had the money, id go with that combo. Im having trouble keeping up with my 189,000 mile gte though haha. School is to blame for that though so its okay.

i say gte swap, but as for money n stress, no pain no gain bro. Power costs money regardless, you get what you pay for, and if it were that easy and cheap every 17 year old would have a 500hp mk3 and we'd get bored of them.

:place bag of poo on front step: :Light bag: :ring doorbell: :wait in the bushes laughing quietly:

ITR good news man!! i have my new downpipe on the way, itll be here tomorrow yay. also my new mbc and hopefully some new molding. oh ya my diff to, but its taking a while, hope everythings okay wit that. Things are kinda shaping up in preparation for the next thing to break.

:(... look for someone with a silencer for your exhaust tip.. or have an exhaust shop put a resonator in there somewhere before the muffler
