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.
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...
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...
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...
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?
That looks great! Any chance you have a link to the roll bar mounts you used?Edit: I found a set that looks like the ones you have, but I'm curious which diameter you ordered? 1.75" or 2"?
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...
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.
Just came across this thread, checking in from Colorado Springs. Grew up here, moved to CA for college, stayed there for a few decades, moved back into town about a year and a half ago. Surprisingly I've been enjoying the car scene down here in the Springs (there's multiple meets every Friday...
Haven't been around the forums much in the last several years but have been coming back recently as I'm back into working on and driving my 1G. Came across this post and immediately remembered Greg's name and his yellow car. Never met him, but loved reading about his car and seeing it here...
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?
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.
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.
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...
These cars are NOTORIOUS for clutch disengagement issues, especially after swaps or when putting in a heavier after market clutch. Most mechanic shops are clueless past just threading the master cylinder adjustment rod out. There's a number of things that need to be looked at, some of which...
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...
91!? Don't you mean a 1990!? ;)So, uh, yeah, head editor of Roadkill checking in here. Glad you liked the episode! I made sure to slip in more than a couple of shots of the Blowe's car as you pointed out. That was an insanely fun episode, one of my favorites. It was hell to edit though...
Been a long time since I've posted here, but this one has me stumped. I have a Tial MV-S on a recirculated MAPerformance O2 housing bolted to an HX35 on a BEP DSM turbine housing. 3" exhaust, no cat.The problem is, I have the springs set to open at 18psi but it will overboost to 30psi the...
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...
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...
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...
I keep hearing this, but there's a few more things out there that cost more than the kbb value of our cars:- FP Garrett turbo setup
- Built 2.0 or 2.3L long block from a number of popular shops
- A decent paint jobI know a lot of people running one or more of the above 3 options. Very few...
Living proof that this setup is available:Mueller has been using my Talon as a test mule for this setup. Let me tell you, it's a night and day difference from the JICs! He let me take it home for the weekend after only minor setup and tweaks, and not only did it handle noticeably...
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...
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...
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...
Any follow up on this? I'm hoping to paint my talon soon and was looking into getting a custom roll of vinyl graphic tape printed to use in place of the stickers. I'd rather buy a decal set though if it's available.Thanks!
+1, sounds like you didn't bleed it properly or that there's a leak in the hydraulic system. How did you bleed it? Did you purge the air from the slave cylinder while bleeding? Try following these instructions:
How to Bleed a Hydraulic Clutch - Team Rip Engineering
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...
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
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...
(yes this post is on topic...read to the end...)The problem with this statement is that the liberal/democrat ideology dissuades personal responsibility. It strongly encourages reliance on the government and the rich. It is breeding a society that blames everything on everyone else and...
Here you go:
http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/152250736-post123.htmlI also submitted this info as a tech article, so hopefully it will be in the turbo section of tech soon.
Overview:

There has been a lot of discussion about proper oiling for Holset and Garret turbos (see these two threads):
http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/turbo-system-tech/244467-holset-hx-35-oiling.html...
Oh, I forgot to mention, as you can see from my pics, with the MAP housing the wastegate clears the alternator and power steering pump just fine, and I didn't even have to bend the oil dipstick. Keep in mind I'm running an HX35 with BEP housing on an EvoIII manifold. Not sure if all of that...
Now that's good thinking. There's articles here and elsewhere on the internet to guide you through pedal removal. I recommend picking up a 2nd pedal assembly to send to shep while yours is in your car b/c I don't think he has cores lying around these days.As for shimming the fork/ball, did...
