I have a set of used 2g Koni yellow sport struts for sale. Mileage is unknown, but it isn't terribly high. I'd have to guess no more than 8-10k max . I used them on my car with stock springs for 2 years, took the car apart and they have been in my garage for the last several years untouched...

Does anyone have a factory uicp with the rubber gasket on the ic end still in tact that are willing to part with cheap? This is the only piece that is holding me back from driving my car. Another option is a hard replacement pipe flanged for hks ssqv. I could stop by to pick it up if someone...

After installing a 90 oil filter housing, factory lines, and factory cooler, my oil pressure has skyrocketed. On a cold start I get about 75 psi at idle and over 100 psi by 2500 rpm. When the car warms up I have 25 psi at idle, 50 psi at 2500 rpm and 100+ by 3000 rpm. This is on a completely...

Ive read so many threads with mixed reviews on all clutches, most of the bad were probably due to installation errors and or worn clutch parts, or improper break in. I would like some real advice on my choices. My two main choices are spec stage 3 6 puck or the act 2600 with street disc, and...

I have my 6 bolt ready to go but I need to get the water line from the oil cooler to the t-stat housing but I dont have the factory 6 bolt line and my 7 bolt one doesnt fit. Would the copper tubing take the heat of the engine bay and hold good? I know people use it for the oil pressure gauges...

My machinest had a question about the letters on the 6 bolt big rods. He was wondering what the letter after G 6 meant anything. Like a how it was balances ect. or if it doesnt mean anything. Does anyone here know anything about this? I tried searching but didnt come up with anything.-Steve

I just did a parts search in caps and I found the 1g 6 bolt rod for turbo and non turbo have the same part number. This sounds weird to me but can anyone tell me if they are actually the same? Im trying to get my 6 bolt back together and I have 3 of 4 rods and I cant find any turbo cars around...

i live in wisconsin and i have to drive my dsm in the winter :mad: i just got an awd and ill be swapping motors and i was wondering for my cold climate driving, what would be the ideal fluid to use in my transmission, transfer case, and rear end. RRE reccomends syncro-shift in the tranny...

how do you guys with turbo dsm (mainly fwd) take the snow. everytime i hit 3k my turbo just spools and i lose traction. my main problem is that my tires in front are pretty bad. so i guess thre point of this thread is what tires do you turbo dsmers use in the snowy states. (i hate you all in...

Hey,My 2g gst thinks its to good to want to start today :mad: When I go to start it, I hear a click and the fuel pump. It doesnt turn the motor over at all. Is my starter shot? or is there a possible relay or fuse that could have been burnt up? Ihe car was perfect when I parked it last...

would it cause any harm to completly remove the pcv valve on a daily driver? this is my 2nd one and it still lets air go through it. the first was an oem and the 2nd was a german made one. and if it is, whats the best way to block it off?-steve

i might be having an alt. problem (less than 1.5k on the alt :| ) and i want to get a volt meter to check if its putting out the proper charge.i was wondering if the volt meter and o2 sensor voltage meter on the apex'i turbo timer were at all accurate and reliable. why i ask is that i...

im rebuilding a throttle body and i took apart the 2 halves to clean and need a new gasket to put there but i cant find one in caps. does anyone know the part number or could i get away with just putting a bead of rtv in there if the gasket isnt replaceable.-steve

i just installed a k&n filter today and now my bov (1g) doesn't shriek like it normally did, now it just sounds like a big whoosh of air (kind of like the turbo xs) is that normal or did i just not put something back on right. also i have a rre hard intake pipe and the bov dump tube is NOT...
