sweeet thanks man!! =D I am really hoping for this weekend... I am expecting to get all my bodyparts back this week >_< I hate driving around with half the body missing :(

hey guys!! @IboughtaSupra: no codes... but I will def check my grounds, and I think I could go for a new battery as well... have some old generic one -_-. Also, awhile back I used to be able to hear this weird noise from the alternator, I want to describe it as... the snappy sound of...

WHOA!!!! how did you do the turns?????????????????

SO. I think the clutch for my ac compressor is shot. I noticed the other day it wasn't spinning freely even though the engine was running. Also if I am driving, and I turn on the AC, there is a NOTICEABLE drop in power, like the car legit slows down a fraction, I'm sure a passenger wouldn't...

I adjusted the dashpot... seems to have made a difference with revs dropping. I also have now isolated the artificial brake boosting my trans is doing. If I start from stop right after hard braking, then the transmission lags abot half a sec behind the throttle and squeeks the tires when it...

Alright... got the clutch fan off, radiator/trans cooler in, fan shroud in, test fitted fan back on and it all fits =D so here are my two big issues: the strange stalling I have been getting.. damn guess I didn't post any of the occurences here in TS. basically a few nights ago, when the trans...

I'm so jelly

I have strange problem: last night, upon deceleration up a hill and braking for a light, the engine suddenly began to die and the car to shake violently, and then it actually shut down. It happened a second time but right as I stopped, I shifted to park and it revived immediately. WTF??? the...

Well here's what I have planned as of now: First, the problems: 1. Coolant leak from the radiator that is also causing spillage from overflow tank 2. Blown turbo oil seals and potential death of said turbo. Free-spinning of compressor wheel reduced to about 2 secs. Not good. 3. Power...

QUESTIONS!!! How do you attach AN fitttings to transmission/powersteering hardlines???? Anyone know the PSI rating I need for said lines? I think steering needs over 1k psi correct? wut about trans lines?

K here are the pics that matter as of now... older pics will be posted at a later date/ The tab before I ruined it here you can see the lump of carbon I thought was the culprit hmmm coolant leak at the turbo? (also noticed the radiator itself was leaking... hence my overflow tank...

OK... PROBLEMS: IC piping is fine, except there is a lot of sludge right off from the turbo. The compressor shaft itself has very noticeable lateral play and does not spin freely for more than 3-4 seconds. there was some oil on the column of the afm and I fear this may be the cause of my...

uh oh... code 34... i blew something -_-.... ---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 PM ---------- i think i blew my ic piping off... shit

Jon, you are a lifesaver =D. Is next week good for you? (this upcoming week) I have a week off of school. And I will have to see if I can figure out how much is needed exactly... and make a mold of the inner surface of the turbo. I can just put the stock elbow back on, also do you think you can...

ugh.... I made a HUGE mistake... when you guys hear this you're all going to be like "you n00b!!!!!!!"... seriously it's THAT bad. Like I couldn't sleep all last night because I was so disappointed in my own stupidity. Basically. I was having fitment issues with the DDP. At first, when I tried...

Thanks so much man!!! All credit to the original person who decided to do accented sawblades... actually some came like that from factory... very very rare =P

Wheels in the works... Failed clearcoating... ugh... I'm just gonna stick with polishing... hope this will keep water and wind out... and dirt... and wasps.... O.o Last wheel is done Took off my exhaust... so I am running open elbow right now... VERY CAREFULLY. Driving around like...

Alright progress pics and some bad news :( can't figure out which bolt goes into that hole... they bodyshop made a mess out of my neatly organized bolts and even used the wrong ones in many places ---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM...

Ugh... I can't work for more than an hour at a time... I am literally pouring sweat all over my car and parts... fml freaking Texas summer heat is insane... doesn't help that the garage is only sun free until noon... and the wind is nice, but it's blowing dirt and grass into the garage making...
