    driftmotion intercooler kit install 7mgte with lots of pics

    Is there any reason to get this over an ebay intercooler? Seems like the fabrication required to make it fit doesnt justify the added cost

    To or no to TEMS

    I like tems at least in my car. I can notice the difference between sport and normal. Just get out of your car and rock it.

    Oil Under Driver's Rug

    So I tore out all the contaminated matting and got it cleaned up pretty well. I checked the master cylinder in daylight and it didn't look like it had any fluid loss, theres no way of knowing when the fluidloss happened in the first place so I'm just going to replace the master cylinder and the...

    Digital TEMS Controller

    Right, while I haven't put it in the dash yet. I don't think its that big. The backlight and contrast are adjustable so it could fairly stealthy. The screen is smaller than my droidx. And compared to the TEMS controller, its a tad thinner, and twice as tall about.

    Digital TEMS Controller

    Here is what the setup looks like. It is an Arduino mega plugged into a breadboard powering a LCD, IR receiver, and 4 buttons, and remote. This was when I was working on setting up a menu before I got the idea for TEMS and Fuel gauge. For those that don't know what Arduino is, its a programmable...

    Oil Under Driver's Rug

    Just to double, check it couldn't be the brake master cylinder correct? Just want to make sure I get the right part. It looks like I can order a new clutch master cylinder from DM pretty cheap, that should solve my problem correct?

    Oil Under Driver's Rug

    I'm restoring the interior of my car whilst waiting on the parts and block. The rug was carpet was very dirty. Very very dirty. I decided to take it out because a friend said powerwashing it would work, and the previous owner was a smoker, so there was a ton of ash and smell in the carpet that I...

    Digital TEMS Controller

    Sorry for the lack of explanation. The project is powered by an arduino mega. I guess its fairly simple as all im doing is have it power 5v relays to automatically adjust the tems. I never thought about being able to adjust beyond the 3 stock settings but I like that idea. Would be a tad more...

    Digital TEMS Controller

    I don't know if this should belong here or the build forums: I did not want to spend $400 for a HKS TEMS controller, when there are other cheaper, better(I think) options available. I wanted to automate certain functions in my car, automatic lights etc. I wanted this all to be able to be...

    Cluster harness extra connector

    What the hell does this unplugged connector plug into. I took my cluster out months ago, and now im putting it back in. I can't for the life of me figure out what it would connect to. Theres nothing on the back of the cluster thats open, and I looked through the TSRM to no avail. Anyone have any...
