Hey guys, since this car will be my DD I don't want to go too crazy with performance mods but more to have a well rounded performance package. Now I have a setup planned out in my head but I am not totally sure on some of the parts I'm thinking about. Heres what I had planned. The "or"s are what...

Hey guys, since I have no stereo in my car for now due to budget problems (haha) and all thats left of it are the 4 rear speakers I decided to take them out as well since I'm really bored and nothing is on TV. I got the rear rear ones out just by removing that large interior panel and taking out...

Hey guys, instead of going the MAFT route I was thinking about buying PHR's MAP ECU system. Though it is much more expensive then installing a MAFT in blow through alone, it also has tuning ability like a better stand alone fuel controller like an SAFC or similar. And I can use a MAP system...

Hey guys, soon I should be picking up some guages/wideband/hook up my TT's boost line. I was wondering if you guys had any best method to get wiring or vacuum line for a mechanical boost line through the firewall into the cabin. Thanks! BTW, sry if this is a newb mechanic question... but I'm...

The timer works fine in the aspect of letting the engine idle for a pre-detemined amount of time. It's the alarm + e brake that have me wondering. The alarm does not activate when I lock the doors from the inside or out when the timer is still active with the car in ON mode. Afterwards it has...

Hey guys, I was blasting around my block doing test runs in my car a couple days ago to see if I could feel the difference with my exhaust completed, and I definitly do, very cool. However, cruising up the fairly steep hill (in boost, but not more then 4 psi) that goes to my house (say 40ish)...

Hey guys, I've been debating back and forth for a while now on wether or not to remove my AC system. According to the weight chart SammyDaFish made its near 50lbs off of the front of the car. With the entire system removed. Now, last time I checked my AC didn't work, could have been caused by an...

Okay, so I'm about to change the fluid in my trans, got the car on stands etc. I like to locate everything I need before I go ahead head 1st into things. Now, the TSRM is very vague, the drain plug I believe I found, but the filler hole (I don't know if it is plugged or not even) that oil...

Hey guys, my 89 has some gunk building up on the inside of the lights. Whats the easiest way to get under that lense and clean it out good. Also, while I'm in there, is there any gasket or anthing that is leaking and causing the buildup in the lights. Or is there any gasket I should change for...

Hey guys, I know it has been brought up before over here. But just as a more clear source and to get it on the new forum. Can you guys post what you bought, and where from to do your complete thermostat controlled oil cooler. Also if you can post any direct fit(close to obviously, nothing is...

Hey guys, when my buddy goes to Japan over spring break I'm going to see if he can find a Group A throttle body for me. But what I was wondering was if, since the TB is slightly bigger, is the intake manifold slightly improved also? Would it be worth my time to do that upgrade as well? Or should...

Hey guys, I don't have a whole lot of money to spend on my suspension so what I was thinking was this. RSR Race sprins, Cusco front and rear strut bars. Tanabe swaybars, and some kind of nice damper for those springs. What seem to be best are the Koni and KYB. But I don't know which one of the...

Hey guys, a buddy of mine is going back to Japan for 10 days and he said any little things I wanted (that can fit in a suitcase or dufflebag) I should give him a list of stuff and he'll look around for me. But when I thought about it I didn't even know what I could ask him for. So what are some...

hey guys, driving my car last night and I was turning around in the small developement down the road to me and on the downshift into 1st gear the engine went down to idle speed from about 2.5k and the headlights dimmed a very noticeable amount. My bro in the passenger seat also noticed. So my...

hey guys, last night I took my car out for a few minutes (the 1st time after I had replaced the turbo elbow and some other stuff as well.) And it seems like it sputters the tiniest bit under WOT now, and I don't know whether to blame the ignition system (spark plug condition unknown) or another...
