ROTA Wheels warns against counterfeit products - Auto News by AutoIndustriya.com
:DNew wheels coming soon. Going 19s, and need to decide between a flat black and a brushed/polished set.What should be an appropriate angle of the car:Thanks for doing this before Aslan's...
...made the last 10yrs enjoyable. The rest of you, enjoy the time between cranky mods.You'll find me in appearance threads, primarily. Part of the new skillset is wheel fitment and sticker placement. ROFL
So, I picked up a hero2 yesterday, mostly for some aquatic fun on vacation, but slapped it on a suction cup mount and drove in with it to work today.I never really got moving, but the wind noise over about 30mph is kind of a pain. I've seen some foam tricks, suggestions to run a wired mic...
I know all you Hangout folks love long, chain-like threads with no purpose, so here you go.The concept is simple...post the last thing you bought that YOU feel is worth posting.I'll start, because I'm like a kid on Christmas:Front: 20x8.5" +20, 225/35/20
Rear: 20x10" +20...
...or any lowered Champagne Talon.Check the gallery, though I don't think I have a full on side-shot.Yes, I'm considering losing the only wheels I've ever "loved" for +1" diameter and +.5" width.
Alright, so I've been unhappy with a bit of breaking up in higher RPMs so I decided I'd start Link from scratch, and retune the car.I present to you, a warm-up/drive/idle log for review. I have a random miss at part throttle in this log and was wondering if you all get anything from the...
Thoughts?BoostEst is far less artificially inflated than it once was, WB is still the same POS AEM garbage (quiet, Brian), but the pull seems pretty clean. I'm inclined to thing the AFEst is close to actual due to the smoke (black) at WOT ;)
Look, I know it isn't my place to make trouble around here, and that I'll likely lose my mod status because of this, but I have to speak out as this community and these cars are a big part of my life.In the Mod area, Chris has thrown around the idea of selling the site to a corporate owner...
All right, so I've been digging through some threads on coil-overs, adjustments, mounts, alignments, etc and I haven't seen something that specifically answers the following question...I just installed Koni/GC fronts and AGX/GC rears with currently unknown spring rates, though I can likely...
Alright, so I tinted the Talon's tails (alliteration...w00t) a while ago and some of the clear is starting to peel off.I think I'd like to go back to plain tails, but I'm not sure what stripper I should use to get this stuff off. It's the RC Car tint you can get at a hobby store with a...
Well, I had enough of black/gunmetal type rims, and never had another aftermarket set in any other color......till I stumbled across a member selling some old-school looking Volks in the classifieds. Checked the bank account, ran it by the wife, and BLAM; a whole new look was born. I had...
Alright, as some of y'all know, I've been battling pesky knock between 5.5k and 6k. Last week, I took the car to a friend's and BLT'd to 25lbs. The WG arm was loose so that was adjusted tighter...no more hearing me bi*** about slow spool. We also adjusted the slave cyl since it was dragging...
...sort of. :)Meet Eclipse.She's about 7 weeks (on Sun) and is already between a small dog and medium dog harness. She spent her first night at home yesterday, only kept us up for 30 mins or so around 4am, and is about 60/40 on pissing and pooping on the training pads. I hope the...
Pardon the horrid clone-brush attempt, I suck at photo editing.Anyway, I was considering doing something similar to this to my front bumper cover, and was looking for suggestions on prep, cutting tools, cutting methods, etc so it doesn't look as bad as my digital attempt.
I just snagged an SBR FMIC for a great price and plan to slap it on this weekend (assuming I can get someone to cut the 90* off my PTE).Is the TB elbow that comes with the kit angled like a 2g elbow? Once I pick it up, I'll be able to hold them up side by side, but I need to know if I'll...
Alright, so I'm looking at getting (well, hopefully am getting) an ETS kit from another DSMer.My problem is this...I currently have a compressor cover with an elbow pointing towards the passenger side for the SMIC setup that is on there now. Now, the kit comes with a J-pipe setup and I was...
Normally I wouldn't post this issue, and have briefly touched on it in my ongoing Link tuning thread, but this is too odd.Basic rundown:
-Car was fine in the spoolup/blow-off department until just recently. No changes to the intake system have been made.-My Dodge Garage modded 1g...
Alright, so I got tired of a "mod" consisting of hood pins on a stock hood (thanks 2 owners ago), and replaced my hood and headlight covers.At first, it appeared that all the clearances around the edges of botht the covers and the hood were fine. I've since used the headlights in popped-up...
Alright guys, seeing if anyone has suggestions for tuning the Talon back to its EPROM-glory. I've not been WOT in about a week or so, and I feel my man parts shriveling.Two logs attached. One is easily identifiable as a short jog down the road, hte other is an idle log (has default Link...
Question or questions...we'll see as this progresses.I'm new to the world of manual steering, and love it...for the most part.Issues:1. I have a bit of side to side play in the steering wheel before the steering actually responds to input. I can be cruising along and just wiggle...
Nearly 3 years I've been without boost...I couldn't take it anymore. No more will I watch performance oriented vehicles fly by my Rover or my S-10. No longer will I struggle to remember what "fun" is in a car. No longer will I yearn for the smells of unburnt fuel and miss a glowing manifold...
I know the staggered release of the 360 systems has both left a bad taste in the mouths of those wanting one, and thrilled those who got one, so no "F-in MS, why don't I have a system?" stuff in here, please.That being said, is anyone playing PGR3? How are you liking it? How is the garage...
Alright, I know this is a pretty dumb question, but here it goes...I bought a JVC deck a year or so ago for the Laser, and had intended to put it into the Rover now that the car is sold. JVC apparently is a SIRIUS compatible brand, and the deck is tagged with the logo. I bought a Roady2...
I think I'm done...for a whileI am about part her out.I still love the looks, the sound of a turbo spooling, etc, its just time for something different after having her for 100k+ and nearly 8 years.The wife and I are currently looking at `96ish Range Rovers (yes, I know about the...
I need a pic of a 1.8l hood/car/front end WITHOUT the bump. First one wins a week with no sarcasm directed at them.Go.If you found it by searching, please include the search terms you used.
Alright, yeterday, the car was running fine.I get in today and notice a choppy idles, and a CEL. Turn on the logger and ger a "12-Airflow Sensor" message. I look over at the AFC and there is no display...CEL solved.I pull apart the pass side console and slide the ECU out and get out...
Alright, I ran through the 3 A/T pages here and 19 or so on Talk ( :o ) so don't tell me to search. ;)My fiance and I went to look at an A/T 1991 AWD and the guy never shoed up...well, not on time at least. We called, and he said he drove the car back to his folk's house because it had no...

Can one of you animate this rooster's leg so it kicks out every 5 seconds holding a blank sign, or a sign that says "Rooster gives Kat no love"?Please?:thumb:
Being that I am a lazy bastard, I have the desire to controll boost from inside the cockpit. I am currently looking at the 2 Hallman EVO series bosst controllers but am not sure if I should shell out the extra 15bucks for teh "ceramic ball".What, if any, are the benefits of a ceramic ball...
Quick log...had to let off WAY early.I notice my TPS isn't reading 100%, last time it was my old floormats wedged under the pedal. :rolleyes:Anyone care to tell me what may cause the rapid onset of knock at 4469rpm?Kyle, ideas? If the data is skewed by not being at 100% throttle...
Thanks to those who came down to Myrtle Beach, and the well wishers that couldn't make it, for giving me the opportunity to propose to Jamie in a setting surrounded by DSMs and good friends. She said yes!
Okay, I know for a fact on my ride home from work that my EGT gauge was acting as it should.
When I started the car up to go bi*** at my wireless provider, I noticed the needle wasn't moving. I paid little attention, and assumed there was a wiring issue, and the probe harness had come...
Something for you guys to get a chuckle out of. On my way to a help call and saw this. Immediatley asked my co-worker riding shotgun to snap a pic:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
My occasional whoring thread :pMe and Ray (Dsmed) chillin with beers "South of the Mason/Dixon style".THis is old, but my g/f is lazy about developing film. Yes I fit in a 1g.Edit: Down South Coors > AW4G63
