Jus14 wrote:great job on the emblems who done them?
I had a custom sticker place make chrome letters over black vinyl. then i took radio trim plastic and cut it to size and made them myself. then just 3m taped them like the normal emblems.

i hate chrome and gold, so the gold had to go lol

Probably no t in ka-t for now. I have a 92 s13 hatch with ka-t its beastly.
there is no way the s12 could handle a turbo right now.

more progress fixed the scratches in the hood, only way was repaint (all the way to the metal). I also got around to tinting the windows (front sun strip,and all side windows), the back window is huge and curved might just pay someone to do it for me later. http://184.72.239.143/mu/6170ffcb-9601-83a...

fronts springs would work but the rears are completely diff.
the front struts are similar but the knuckle holes on i think the s14 are larger for the mounting bolts. and the rear struts are diff lengths and diff mounting on the bottom.

no thats cool, but if you have the other fitting capped off (sealed) it will build pressure so to say and not open all the way as fast as it should. if you have another wastgate off the car cap that end and try to open it with your thumb, you will probably blow the cap off, and if you leave the vacu...

Pull your plugs and clean them and while they are out with your fuel pump fuse out crank it over to clear out any fuel in cylinders, then put all back together and see if that helps. may fix it may not but its free and doesnt take too much time also you can check your plugs to see how its running wh...

running a straight through pre resonator before the muffler you choose will help how loud ur exhaust is.

i have full megan turbo back and as long as you are not on it and revved out it sounds pretty good and isnt too loud. nice low tone too.

well i picked up the engine used, checked battery voltage while running and only 12.5v and slowly dropping. and as for the starter i have to hit it with a hammer about every other time i try to start it. the solenoid is probably goin bad but i dont know anywhere that sells just the solenoid anymore.
