Thanks for the kind words.

We appreciate the support.  

If you haven't seen it, check out our new website:

Cool site and I can't wait to see what you guys have up for sale soon.  With the coil on plug kit does the stock cover still fit?  The photos on cardomain show you guys using a heat reflective panel.

Engine + Driveline / Thermostat and Coolant Bleeding Issues

« on: October 05, 2009, 02:55:38 AM »

iamcreepingdeath you are not alone.  My car does the same thing and I am lost at whats causing it.  Took it to the shop and they say everything is running normal.  For some reason it runs at 12oclock when I take it to the shop (just to torture me).  But now it doesn't seem to matter what temperature it is outside it will run hot.  Ive had my system flushed, water pump, thermostat and radiator replaced.  Still have the problem though.  Was tempted to replace both sensors but since you had no success I won't try.  

What I find weird, and I don't know if you have this, but sometimes (rarely) it will run perfectly fine.  The needle will be stuck right before 12 o'clock and it will stay that way for a few days.  Then eventually it goes back between 12 and 3/4.  Ive been driving around for the last week or two with it running hot.  I'm hoping today my car will actually run at 3/4 tomorrow when I bring it to the shop so they can maybe tell me whats going on.

Engine management / tempature cant reach the middle of the gage

« on: June 24, 2009, 02:55:55 AM »

Do any of you have a bouncing temp gauge?  I have had this problem for a bit.  Before the waterpump and radiator went out the gauge would bounce randomly sometimes.  Even after the fixes my gauge bounces randomly.  It doesn't always happen but at times it will bounce from center to 3 quarters and back.

Wondering also if this would cause a ruff idle sometimes and a check engine light at idle.

I was hoping they were talking about this:

I wanted to know if anyone had actually tried this.

I know this is old but are you referring to the d/c motor that bolts inline with the driveshaft?

How exactly did you connect this part?  There are no instructions on that website.
