    More throttle issues

    Ok, so just when I thought everything went away it all came back. The car idles a little high (around 1000) and the RPM's come down way too slow when I push the clutch in or throw it in neutral. I've tried resetting the idle the way everyone has told me to by unpluggin the battery, the IAC, then...

    Painting Valve Covers

    I'm planning on cleaning up my valve covers and had some questions about the painting process. I'm going to degrease them, then sand them down, but I'm not sure if I should primer them before spraying them with engine enamel. Any thoughts on this?

    Ported E7's or Ported GT40's?

    The ported GT40's will make more power. My ported E7's flow as much as an out of the box GT40.

    Larger MAF require a tune?

    Just wondering if there are any downsides to replacing the stock MAF with a 76mm ProM unit without retuning the air/fuel? The other mods to the car are ported E7's, a TFS street heat intake, and a 70mm throttle body.

    Cooling Issues

    Havn't checked the thermostat but now that you mention it I'm going to replace it and see what happens. The rad hose gets hot whenever the thermostat opens; just hotter when its overheating.

    Cooling Issues

    It is the stock gauge and I know the car is getting hot because if it didn't it wouldn't be spitting up coolant. It doesn't go ALL THE WAY to the top, but it goes to the "N" or the "O" in normal, which is one notch away from being at the top.

    Cooling Issues

    Oh, and when it reaches the top of the temp gauge it starts spitting coolant out the overflow, but after that it runs fine.

    Cooling Issues

    I've been having some cooling issues with my car lately. Sometimes when I start it up and go for a drive the temp gauge will rise like it should, but it will go all the way to the top of the gauge within 5minutes or so. If I shut it down for 5-10 minutes and start it up again it cools down and...

    Burning Coolant?

    I'm just trying to eliminate the head gasket as the problem. I really don't want to have to tear down the motor again. Is it possible that the intake gasket could be the problem? My oil isn't milky or anything, but could coolant find its way into the combustion chamber via the lower intake?

    Burning Coolant?

    There's no oil in the coolant and theres no coolant in the oil. The amount of coolant I was down was just an estimation. Looking in the radiator the fluid level goes down 3 or 4 inches every few days. The part that bothers me is the white smoke because I know its being consumed by the...

    Burning Coolant?

    This past week I've noticed my car was overheating. I opened up the rad and noticed I was down about a half litre of coolant. I topped it up thinking some of it bubbled out. A few days later the same thing happened; temps went up and I was down about a litre of coolant. My car isn't leaking...

    Car not running as good when hot

    Over the past few weeks I've noticed that my car ('91 fox) doesn't pull nearly as strong as it does after starting it for the first time of the day. If I start it in the morning and go for a drive after its warmed up it goes like stink, but later on after driving around for a while or after...

    Nitto 555r

    I heard of someone doing it on here...I think it was in a thread by Strype. I know a 275 nitto only runs a bit bigger than a 255 from another brandm, so I wondered if a 315 might be closer to a regular 275.
