    1G Continuity from Sensor Ground to Chassis Ground?

    Interesting, so this likely isn't my issue then. I was just surprised that I would see any resistance show between the two since I didnt see any connections between 17 and 24 and chassis ground. When you say leakage, where would that come from? Is it possible that its through my AEM gauges that...

    1G Continuity from Sensor Ground to Chassis Ground?

    This is helpful for sure. Is there any continuity on the wiring harness side of those pins? IE does the Green / Black wire have any continuity to chassis ground? My wiring diagrams show no continuity, but this is where I have the 1M ohm resistance.

    1G Continuity from Sensor Ground to Chassis Ground?

    Hello,I have a very odd problem that I am trying to track down. I recently did a lot of electrical work on my car (stripping the harness back, extending wiring, etc) and have an interesting problem. It seems my MPI circuit is cycling from various interior inputs like my turn signals, high...

    Resolved 1G - Rear Brake Line Support with Coilovers

    Yeah those are very similar to what I bought, and I used the 2" mounts. It was a very tight fit, might not work for all coils, but worth a shot.

    1G Clutch Problems - troubleshooting

    I always grease the inside of the TOB before I install it on the trans input shaft. I didnt do it one time and it rattled like crazy, since then I always grease the TOB.

    NAPA Gold 1381 still made by WIX?

    Napa's website still lists the 1381 as made by wix, and as far as I know they havent changed anything.

    1G Clutch Problems - troubleshooting

    Did you grease the TOB before install? They tend to rattle if not greased prior to install.The other thing is you may need to adjust the master cylinder to ensure you are getting proper engagement. I have always followed this video for reference.

    Resolved 1G - Rear Brake Line Support with Coilovers

    Well just following up, this is what I came up with so far. It looks like it should work, but will update. It is a couple of Roll bar mounts I got on Amazon, and I trimmed the factory brackets and drilled a new hole. Looks clean, hopefully holds up well.

    Resolved 1G - Rear Brake Line Support with Coilovers

    Hey, just wondering what people do to secure their 1g awd rear brake lines after installing coil overs? I have been playing around with trying to get the factory brackets to work and it just doesnt seem to work that well. Any pictures or suggestions would be much appreciated.Thanks in advance!

    Autocross Build Evo 1 - Going Overboard

    Out of curiousity, where does this Evo live? I thought I remembered you saying you were out in my neck of the woods? Be great to check it out one day.

    2G Snapped bolt

    Glad to hear it worked out! Yes, they make a huge difference when drilling hard metals. They're kinda expensive, but worth every penny.

    2G Snapped bolt

    Small bits to start, and I have found Cobalt drill bits make a massive difference. I had a broken bolt that I tried drilling out with titanium drill bits for over 30 minutes and made virtually no progress. Bought some Cobalt bits and I drilled all the way through in about 2 minutes. It really...

    1G Has anyone seen or tried these JXB Carrier Bearings

    I dont think the bearing in the carrier bearing is the high wear part, ive never seen one that actually had bearing problems, just always split rubber. I think its a decent idea, but interested to hear some reviews from people who actually tried it.

    1G Reverse Gear Idler Bolt

    Appreciate the input, makes me feel a lot more at ease. Just really wanted to make sure the idler wasnt very loose in the case and would rotate from its own eccentric weight.And I over think every process haha, but I also like to be over prepared for everything.

    1G Reverse Gear Idler Bolt

    Thanks for the reply guys, basically there is a risk that it could move on me, then the swearing will begin.Do you guys have any info on how much movement that idler has? Like are we talking that it could go a full 90 degrees out of alignment with the hole? If so, then the only option would...

    1G Reverse Gear Idler Bolt

    Hey,Just an odd question, but is there any harm in pulling and replacing the Reverse Gear Idler Bolt while the trans is fully assembled and installed in the car? I want to replace the rusted bolt and gasket that is showing signs of seeping, but want to ensure that the shaft wont rotate or...

    U-joints (DSM vs. Evo3 vs. Aftermarket)

    I would agree, but it looks like the photos of the GMB joint already mimics the factory design better than anyone else. They may already have the design right, just need to eliminate cross drilling. Likely a bit optimistic as they likely use a lower alloy, but you never know I suppose.
  19. greddy_1700

    U-joints (DSM vs. Evo3 vs. Aftermarket)

    Looking on RockAuto, the GMB U-joint seems to have the same design as factory, however, it does look like its cross drilled. This might be a silly comment, but has anyone contacted GMB regarding these U joints, and see if they can produce without the cross drilling? I would assume that these...

    What is this?

    If this isnt a daily or a race car then correct you can eliminate the rear defogger relay. As for the capacitor, it helps reduce electrical noise that can interfere with your radio and even the tach / potentially other sensitive electronics. The car will run without it, but up to you if you...

    2G DSM on Bring a Trailer

    I think its definitely going way past 25K seeing as its already at 22.5K. Plus I dont think that a couple of small gaskets are going to deter people when the car itself is that perfect. Guess we will see tomorrow afternoon either way!

    2G DSM on Bring a Trailer

    Well this thread went an interesting route. Getting back on topic the bids currently at $22.5K, we should start taking bets where this one will land.2 days left, im thinking this is another one that could hit the mid-high 30's.

    2G DSM on Bring a Trailer

    His other 1G was built over a period of 10-15 years, so not like he stockpiled all of the last original parts as soon as they came up.

    Shootout 2024 scramble

    Having just had my clutch pedal assembly powdercoated, but absolutely sure to mark off areas that are tight tolerance / machined finish. I had to spend hours grinding away coating from areas to get the pedal back together because I didnt do a good job of indicating what not to coat.

    2G Getting That Rear O2 Sensor Through The Floor | Wideband Gauge

    De-pin the connector and reinstall. Or could cut and solder? Not sure if that would effect the accuracy of the sensor, I would doubt it but maybe someone else can chime in.

    2G Flooding while cranking

    I have shared this a few times already, but check the vacuum line to your FPR. I had a flooding issue and it turned out the diaphragm ripped and was leaking fuel through the vacuum line and sucking it into the engine. Worth checking anyways.

    What car trends do you hate?

    My favourite part of that is that those tow hooks are total trash and would break in two / cause damage to the car the second you actually try to tow a car with it. They put on non-functional tow hooks for looks, on a car that will never see a track in its life. Its ridiculous.

    Non functional builds that only exist to get likes on Instagram.

    Setting Zero Lash with Solid Lifters

    Just getting set up to degree a new set of cams, and I have never done this before (replacing my old set of BC 280s with GSC R2's for my 2.3L). I bought a long block and had the 280s degreed when I bought the engine.The rest of the process seems somewhat straightforward (albeit tedious), but...

    Yeah, totally missed the point... So an all original barn find is still only worth like $500 by that logic?

    If it goes for less than $25K I will be kind of disappointed. I know its not "all original", but this car is literally perfect cosmetically and you will never see another interior like this. Guess we will see...

    Overheating fuel pump? Just guessing at this point, not much to go off of unfortunately.
