    Figure this one out... o_O

    As the title says, I’m still trying to wrap my head around this one… I’ll try to keep the back story/details as brief as possible. 89 7mge stock. Bought the car one year ago which is when I replaced the head gasket (and it was done properly). Never given me trouble until recently...

    W58 clutch replacement question

    Did some research and by the sounds of it, the popular choice for replacing the oem clutch is to use an ACT (4 or 6-puck?) sprung ceramic disc with the oem flywheel and PP. I just want to confirm with others who have done this... I have a basically stock 7MGE with the only mods being intake...

    7mge+T Project

    I bought the car NA back in November of last year, fixed the BHG and it's running excellent. Said I was going to leave it stock and not boost it. Yeah that lasted a few months...lol. Been doing a lot of research and reading on here and other sites with regards to doing NA-T conversions. I just...

    W58 Transmission fluid question

    I did a search and found one relevant thread with inconclusive conflicting information.... Recently changed the fluid in my stock 89 NA W58. The fluid that came out was unsurprisingly silver, but not horrible. Don't know if it had ever been changed before. That car has almost 240k km's on it...

    7mge detonation?

    Hey all. Now that the weather is getting nicer up here, I've been able to drive around with the roof off, windows down and really listen to the 7m run. I've noticed when I am driving near a curb it reflects the sound really well and I believe I am hearing detonation. I'm familiar with the...

    7mge on Megasquirt

    So I'm going to be running my stock 7mge on MS2. Why? Because I already assembled an MS2 board for a previous car that I no longer own, so why not? Plus I can't stand knowing that stupid AFM is on there...lol. With MS, it will be MAP, so no more pre-throttle sensors. :naughty: I hope to post...

    Recommended oil weight for 7mge

    Did a search and didn't find much. Just curious, what do you guys recommend for a stock 7mge? What weight do you run? I've always run full synthetic on all my vehicles for it's wider operational temp range and superior resistance to break-down. I live in Toronto Ontario Canada which see's...

    Burning rubber smell

    I did a search and found a few threads with similar a issue, but there was no follow up or post by the OP as to what the actual problem was. When I went to put my car on the road about 4 weeks ago, the only thing it needed to pass safety was the drive shaft carrier bearing. So I put one in. I...

    Still adding coolant...

    I did a search but didn't find much... Replaced my BHG about 4 weeks ago now. I did everything properly. Used an oem style gasket and the stock head bolts torqued to 75ft-lbs. Engine is still in good condition and didn't need to be decked. Made sure everything was super clean before...
