    Magnaflow H-pipe

    Is anybody using the Magnaflow H pipe that is for sale in the partshopper? http://www.partshopper.com/shop/Magnaflow-SS-H-Pipe-87-93-50L-m60.html I hear good things about Magnaflow products, and the price looks good for a catted pipe. However, Partshopper seems to be the only place on the...

    quick question about fuel pressure

    Do fuel pressure and fuel volume go hand in hand, or are they independent? For example, my car puts out around 37 psi at idle but it seems like the car is not getting enough fuel, i.e. rough idle. If I had a clogged fuel filter, would I still read high fuel pressure or would the pressure drop?

    sounds like a cam

    I was driving to work last week and all of the sudden my car starts acting funny. When sitting at idle, the car sounds like it has a big cam in it and it will buck pretty badly just driving without my foot on the gas. I dumped the codes and I get a 12 Idle Speed Control motor or Air Bypass not...

    ignition module, automatic vs manual

    Well, i finished the AOD to t5 conversion:nice: Now, a new problem. Car runs like crap. I dumped the codes and got a 14 Ignition pickup (PIP) was erratic. So instead of just getting the pickup needed and having to deal with pressing off the gear, I am going to get a remanufactured unit from...

    Bad Catalytic Converter?

    If one of the cats on my stock H-pipe has clogged, would I notice on a cold start? Right now when I crank my car after it has cooled completely, i.e. overnight, my car idles fine until it heats up. Once it reaches normal operating temperature, the idle goes to crap and the H-pipe heats up alot...

    What did I do???? Long post

    I am going through the AOD to T5 swap. Two weekends ago I began, but found out that the nuts on the two header studs on the driver side were not going to come out without breaking something. So, I tell the wife that I need new headers in order to continue. A few days later the FRPP headers...

    pedal swap done, almost

    I finally got the pedals in place. It was a major pain. Im going to button everything back up, but I have a connection that I can't find where it goes to. It looks like it should go somewhere on the steering column. Any suggestions? Also, on the 5 speed pedal assembly, where do I hook up...

    reverse light switch

    First, let me say that I have searched on this topic. I am preparing for the t-5 swap. Will it harm the reverse light sensor on the side of the t-5 if I solder wires onto the two posts? I havent been able to find a reverse light harness, or t-5 harness that didnt go for about $50 on ebay...

    starter going bad?

    Are there any indications that the starter is going bad other than the car will not crank? I have this weird noise after I start my car. About 3 seconds after the engine has started, there is this rattle (this is the best phrase I can think of). This lasts for about 1-2 seconds and then it is...

    T5 rebuild, DIY or leave it to the pros?

    I have finally decided to ditch the AOD and do the transmission swap. It won't happen till early next year, but I want to go ahead and get all the parts together. I am trying to keep the costs down for the conversion (aren't we all), so I am thinking about finding a previously loved T5 and...

    Automatic/Manual, with or w/o AC

    I installed the FMS B springs about a year ago. The front sits WAY too low for my tastes. I have decided to put some stock ride height replacement coil springs in the front and keep the B springs in the rear. My question is that when I look on the websites (autozone, advance...) the springs...

    squeal and smoke

    Last Friday, I drove home during T.S. Ernesto. Well, I went through some water that was deeper than I had expected. It was about 12-15 inches deep. After that I found a high spot, parked my car, and walked home. I went to pick it up on Saturday and everything was fine. There was a slight...

    internal engine temperature?

    Does the octane rating of gasoline affect the internal engine temperature? I was stress testing my A/C last week (100+ for the afternoon commutes) and I had to get some gas on Wednesday. I had been running 93 octane, but I put some 87 in because I am poor. Well, it seemed like the A/C worked...

    Original coil springs

    I replaced my springs with FMS B springs. The rears look great, but the front of the car sits WAY too low, it must have dropped like 1.75". I am considering putting my original springs back on the front to bring the nose of the car up. These springs have about 140k miles on them. Just...

    Intermittent battery connection

    I went out to start my car last Friday, and nothing happened. The battery had lost connection somewhere. When I popped the hood latch, suddenly I had a good connection again. I pulled the battery cables off and cleaned them and the posts. Put them back on and everything was fine until this...
