    If your not running an Espelir JGT500R Catback, then what are you guys/gals running?

    Re: If your not running an Espelir JGT500R Catback, then what are you guys/gals runni I have the DC sports twin loop exhaust. It's harder to find now, but I honestly believe it's one of the best exhaust systems I have seen on a 6th gen. Had mine for over a year and no problems. Some slight rust...

    Ebay Turbo Kit

    I thought you were using parts from the ebay kit? What ended up going wrong for you?

    Car is dying, I think. HELP. :[

    You can test your alternator yourself if you have a volt meter. I don't remember how my mechanic showed me though...sorry. But I also think this is your problem for sure. BUT, get your brakes inspected if you don't know how to look at them. I would not recommend driving anywhere with a lit up...

    engine stand and hoist

    Hmm, I'll look at craigslist then. I didn't know you had to let the freon out. I thought you could leave it in there while pulling the engine. I really need to find a place with the procedure so I can figure out everything that needs to be removed. What all needs to be disconnected? And what...

    engine stand and hoist

    Thanks guys. I wanted to buy a stand since I plan to rebuild the old motor. For learning purposes and just to fix it. I was looking to get a cheap one. I guess I was looking to find out if quality is a big deal in these things. I think for now tho I will wait and use the pallet idea. Where would...

    engine stand and hoist

    I am getting ready to swap the engine out of my car. I have been looking at engine stands and hoists, but there are a lot of options. Is there a certain one or type you would recommend? I was thinking I could just rent the hoist, but if I could find a cheap one I might just buy it. And is...

    Replacing my F23a4

    Thanks dude. I checked out that website and it's pretty awesome. I lost my job last week so I am not going to have money to have the shop do it. So I decided I am going to get a used one in my area and just swap that in myself.

    Replacing my F23a4

    I talked to one of my buddies who owns a shop in the area. We've come to the conclusion that I should just replace the motor. I think I am going to go with one of the remanufactured motors that's like brand new pretty much. The guy is a pretty good friend so I trust him to give me a decent deal...

    Noise under valve cover

    I wish I could get the video uploaded. What site do you guys use to host? And do you think it would be okay to drive to the dealership? That's like 10 miles away... I think it may be out of my ability to fix. :(

    Noise under valve cover

    Guys, I readjusted the valves. They were not off by all that much. The exhaust side was the side off more, but only by about .002-/+ in. at max. Afterwards I started the engine and it's still tapping. It's also accompanied with a bad grinding sound. I thought about contacting the filter...

    Noise under valve cover

    If you read my other thread you know that I had no oil pressure after changing the oil pan on my car. It turns out that the oil filter I bought was bad right out of the packaging. I replaced it and the car starts up and the oil pressure light does not come on. However, I think I ran the car too...

    Oil pan changed, light on

    Guys, I don't even know what to look at next. If any of you have any ideas please put them in here. It's not the pressure sensor and the pick up tube in the pan is not clogged and seems fine. All I did was change one pan for another. I don't get it. I don't get how it's not working when I didn't...

    Oil pan changed, light on

    I removed the pan. There was nothing in the pan as far as shavings or anything blocking the pick up tube. So I don't know why there isn't oil pressure. Maybe the oil pump itself is the problem? I drove the car maybe a block total after I installed the pan when I noticed the light I drove right...
