    05/06 Outlander "BIGGer brake upgrade"

    Hey hey, what's up, Erik? Roadkill guy here. I think I hit you up a while ago but I'm back in CO now. Let's meet up sometime soon. Thanks for the link. Love RockAuto.

    05/06 Outlander "BIGGer brake upgrade"

    Reviving this again. Did Stoptech quit manufacturing the front slotted rotors for the Outlander? Part #126.62140SL/R? RTM racing carried them but now they're insanely expensive on their soon to be closed store ($535.15/pair). Front rotors don't show up on Stoptech's website. I've found a...

    Street Build ITFLYS - 1Gina2G

    Oh man, did this SOOO many times when I lived in CA. Luckily I actually found a smog shop where the guy was 100% cool with the aftermarket stuff under the hood, and if I called ahead to warn him I was on my way he'd clear some time to help me pass the sniffer. Even with a speed density setup...

    1G Has anyone found a machine shop that actually resurfaces our flywheels properly?

    I honestly have no idea. Can you expand on that? Do you think it's fine to run this flywheel even though it's not flat?

    1G Has anyone found a machine shop that actually resurfaces our flywheels properly?

    I recently got burned by a shop that resurfaced a flywheel for me and messed up the step height. I asked them for measurements when they finished it and the person I was corresponding with didn't do the actual machining so they didn't have the measurements but assured me that it would be in...

    1G Adjusting rear toe - 1G AWD

    Hey there, reviving this thread from the dead to ask: do you really have to completely remove the trailing arm to adjust the toe via the ATE kit? Or can you possibly disconnect the ATE bolt and maybe one control arm and pry the trailing arm down enough to be able to turn the heim joint?

    1G Rear Subframe bushings Washers

    I know it's been a while since the question was asked, but in case anyone else comes across this: the dimpled ones painted black go on the underside of the mustache bushings with the dimple pointed upwards to go into the concave mustache bushings that are concave on the underside. You need to...

    2G Floor mats

    Reviving this thread from the dead. The link for the Brazil floor mats still works. Anybody have detailed feedback on these mats? I see some comments above that they are pretty cheaply made. Do they slip around? It says there's velcro on the bottom but I'm assuming it doesn't grip very well.

    1G 90 VS 91 Power Steering Pump Differences

    Can you run a 91+ pump on a 90? I'm finding the newer pumps and rebuild kits easier to find. Are there any differences in the dimensions or how it mounts?

    1G Early 1G power steering pump rebuild

    Anyone know if I can just replace the old cast iron one with the later aluminum bodied one? Are the fittings for the send and return lines the same? I rebuilt my old cast iron one years ago but it's leaking again and I'd like to replace it with the newer one.

    1G Anyone Ever Use Caster Plate with Whiteline Caster Bushing Together on 1g?

    Wow, nice. How much of an impact has that had on dynamic camber and handling as a whole? Any idea how much of an impact the 1* that the whiteline bushings add will have on handling? I might pick a set of these up.

    Worn Clutch Fork?

    Glad you solved it! I'd recommend keeping an eye on that clutch fork. I ran the Competition Clutch fork for a while and the fingers wore out prematurely down to where the "Jesus clip" holes are. I only noticed it because I dropped the trans for something and saw the abnormal wear. I properly...

    DSM on Roadkill - 24 Hours of LeMons episode

    Thanks man! That means a lot! Roadkill is definitely a passion of mine, and cutting together the episodes is no easy task due to the show being legitimately real and not scripted. They often don't even know what they're going to be doing until they're actually out in the field. I used to...

    Ohlins coilovers now available for the 1g

    Fantastic setup! My 1G has become Mueller's local test mule, so he used it for setup and testing of the coilovers he sent you. The car handles even better now than it did with the "version 1" Ohlins setup. I am truly amazed at how well my car handles, and I'm rolling on some nearly bald...

    Ohlins coilovers now available for the 1g

    Haven't been back here for a while so sorry for the late reply.Breaking it free is going to be a combination of suspension setup and differential setup. These coilovers are fully adjustable to suit your needs but power-on balance is going to depend heavily on what differentials you're...

    1g for "track" use

    The 2g AWD is better stock to stock, and simply bolting in a suspension will net better results for a 2g (I saw this first hand with JIC coilovers in a 1g vs a 2g), but the 1g is lighter and with a macphearson strut design it is easier to make aggressive adjustments to camber up front. You...

    ABSOLUTELY agree 100%! I finally scraped together the cash to get my own set and after having them on for a week I'm convinced they are worth every penny! This car is a whole new beast. I can barrel into turns at insane speeds and it sticks like never before. Leaps and bounds past the JICs...

    Car runs stupid lean after using water/meth injection

    FOLLOWUP:I moved the MAP sensor, which was previously threaded directly into the intake manifold, about 6 inches away by using barb fittings and some hose. I made the hose take a 90 degree turn. There is no longer a lean condition after triggering the water injection. I guess it was the MAP...

    Car runs stupid lean after using water/meth injection

    Forgot to mention, the IAT is before the nozzles, so it doesn't get wet at all.I had bungs welded for two 007 nozzles, and it's not progressive. This thing is, the lean condition results *after* activating the water injection, even if it's only briefly for one pull, and it then continues...

    Car runs stupid lean after using water/meth injection

    I just installed a Devil's Own meth injection kit. Before tuning for meth I wanted to test it out with just water to see that the trigger system and fail-safe that I set up is working. I flip a switch to activate the pump, it is triggered to flow by a hobbs boost pressure switch, and it works...

    Can't go in to gear, sometimes?

    This is a VERY common problem and there are several things that can cause it. Do some searching as there are dozens of informative threads addressing this very issue. My first suggestion would be that you didn't properly bleed the clutch hydraulics after rebuilding the cylinders. Here's my...

    logging and or tuning

    Yes, it should work unless they hardwired something into the cable to work only with 'Link. Oh, I just remembered, Evoscan sells a USB cable that includes virtual com port software so you can use it with old serial based loggers like TMO. It goes for $57

    logging and or tuning

    Dig around for a 1g logger cable on ebay and classifieds. They used to be all over the place but they're rare now. I wouldn't pay more than $30 for one if I were you. Once you find that, if it's a serial cable and you have an *OLD* laptop with a serial port you're set as far as hardware. If...
