As a few people know, my 944 developed a weird clutch problem mentioned in a prior thread that turned out to be excessive crank shaft end play. I have made the possibly disastrous decision to rebuild the engine myself, and figured I would chronicle some of the fun I will be experiencing :) A...
As many of you know, I, like Captain Kirk, have boldly gone where no man has gone before- in my case into the world of the turbocharged 914. Here is a link to the build thread on 914world- I'm to lazy tonight to re-post the engine tear down photos here as well. ...
O wise Honda gurus, While sitting outside the shop my CRX got clipped by a delivery truck. Fault was easy: he hit a brightly painted parked car in broad daylight. The adjuster has been out and the check has been cut. Now I'm parts car shopping. The parts to fix the damage are only a bumper...
Well, as some of you may know, we lost the motor in the Civic at MOWOG 4. Bummer. Chris had to take off for Seattle in order to make it in time, so we hooked it up and dragged it out there thinking we might be able to get a repair done there. No such luck, so we are on to Plan B. The car will...
My miata has recently had a hard time starting while cold, and while cold it will at times stumble under acceleration. Also, up to 3500/4000RPM the car doesn't pull quite like it used to. Recently I've changed my spark plug, spark plug wires, fuel filter, and O2 sensor. I've also checked for a...
I just moved and prior to moving I made a temporary exhaust system so I could transport the car without going open downpipe. Basically it consists of header/downpipe/flexpipe to a glasspack/resonator to a straight section to a 90* bend and dumps before the rear wheel. My question is this: ...
I finally had the spare bumper cover that's been sitting here for a year and a half refinished. NovaChek in Lakeville did some nice work. I had a visit with the guy a while back to get a quote and was able to ask picky questions until I was satisfied that they understood what I wanted. After...
So im looking at buying a front sway bar for my ap1 but i am somewhat confused about my options. It looks like there are four Autocross specific sway bars, Small fortune racing, Ankey, Comptec (no longer made), and Saner(Which appears to be out of bussiness because their website is gone and their...
Well, most people know the rear hub and bearing problems we were having during the latter part of 08 and the beginning of 09. That thankfully seems to be somewhat sorted. Recently, we've been having an alignment issue. The adjustable ball joints in the front kept coming loose with the repeated...
im trying to figure out how to drive economically again, and im not entirely sure that on an n/a car thats stock, that short shifting, and staying just below the powerband is economical when accelerating vs letting it wind up a little higher to get to the desired cruising speed faster, i dont mean...
Looking for a place to have someone look over my snowblower and maybe rebuild the carb. Prefer South of river. (Eagan, Lakeville, Burnsville, Rosemount, Apple Valley) I have been thinking of just taking it to Ace or Hardware Hank in Eagan, but I wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations.
i'm a little bummed, because i literally wrote a full post AS THE DATABASE CRASHED.... so i lost that whole thing. Time to start over again. So, for those of you who weren't there, or following me on facebook, i'll fill you in. So, i'm out on course for my 2nd run... things are going...
So I have had a small suspicion all season that I have a small boost leak. Car is rated to have 14-15 psi boost. I have been getting about 12 on my gage then it drops to about 7 or 8 after 3000 rpm. Anything past 10 the needle on the gauge shakes like crazy. So I finally decide to really look into...
Im not sure what sensor to change. my cobb tuner is telling me is that its bank 1 sensor 2. I found 2 O2 sensors tonight when I was installing my sway bars. Not sure which one is which:?
I just picked up a 1984 944 with a no-start issue that turned out to be the speed sensor wiring. I started it up and am getting a high-pitched whine from the front of the engine; it sounds like it's in the middle under the timing cover. It supposedly had a FOES about 1k and 1 year ago, but I...
On the S2000, there are little plastic fender liner clips. Like the kind that hold interior carpet in place, except located in the wheel wells. Small, like < 1cm and weighing about as much as a pants button. Well, people routinely wind up losing them during runs as they get picked off by the...
We weren't planning on running B-stock this year until the SSM car broke. Currently weighing options in case it rains for Jocelin at Nats. Hoosier Wets are ~$250 per tire and maybe overkill if the other BSL contenders don't have them. Then again, it did rain at Nats last year.... Skimming...
So, I've got a CEL in my '07 Impreza 2.5i for the fuel tank pressure sensor circuit high input (CEL code P0453). Runs fine, and the light goes away after a cycle or two if you take off the gas cap and put it back on. If the tank is low, and/or the temperature is cool, it goes a good long time...
Hey Everyone, Went for a midnight cruise in the Miata last night, and noticed my clutch was making some noise. When idiling with the clutch disengaged (clutch pedal depressed), there was a grinding/gurgling noise coming from under the car (I'm assuming the trans/clutch area). When I engaged...
well i figured someone here would know.. *cough* cbei *cough* does it involve swapping the entire wire harness or just the engine one? i spose the ecu would need to be changed out too, do i need to add wires? modify the exhaust probably
