Might be getting a second car..

[doug294]

I just bought a 96 GS a month ago and it started doing the same thing. Bought some MSD plug wires and it runs oh so smooth.

Yea, I meant missing like ignition.

He said that they are known for that, the wires are real touchy, he said he never had that problem and he also never replaced the wires.

It was cold and rainy all day here so I couldn't work on it damnit. That's probably all it is though. I can't wait to get it running again lol!

Turbo's are just fun.

hey remember what you told me when I was gonna buy that TSI? NO DSMS!! THEY SUCK! THEY BREAK!

lol j/k.. for that price i'de be all over it for a 2nd car. Heck some dude I know here is selling his 240sx for like 400 dollars..(the thing is a beater) but I almost wanna get it just to have another car.

[quiXilver]

Yea, I do remember that, but you wanted to get rid of your CRX! I am still keeping my CRX, AND this beech was only $700!! and it RUNS (well it did) AND IT'S TURBO WHEEE!!!!!!!

[Hybrid1990crx]

hahaha yeah have fun with that thing breaking down all the time.

[DirtyD777]

Still..you are betraying you're crx by having that..Today it's just a "second car' tommorow you'll be selling off the crx for parts for the Dsm..lol j/k

Yea that's what I'm afraid of, but it won't happen.

I fixed the studdering, replaced plugs, and did the valve cover gasket while I was at it. 3 of the 12 valve cover bolts are stripped out all in one corner. Lovely.

So anyway, it doesn't seem to leak oil anywhere yet, so I fixed one thing. Now my friend that has a couple of these cars (the guy I bought it from) said that if I want my BOV to be louder, to increase the size of the vacuum hose inbetween the BOV and the Intake manifold.

So I did. Now it Misses like in higher rpm's. Kinda like fuel cutoff. I think it's boosting too much or something, like spikes I guess. Hell I donno! It's a DSM! I gotta wait till the morning to figure out what it's doing, but if I don't get on it all the way everything is fine.

we need pics of the beast

Edit: OT but what %tint is on your crx quix? I'm getting mine tinted next week and I want it to be as dark as yours looks.

[quiXilver]

5% limo.

Also, I didn't gap the plugs when I put them in, the guy said

DUH

So i'll try that later on and see what happends. I'm also gonna replace the wires. That shit looks like it's going to be a bitch. The cap is like under the frickin intake manifold. WTF!

Yea I know they're more a pain in the ass then my honda but oh well, experience is experience. Well I gapped them(I think). When someone says they should be gapped 25-28 does he mean .025-.028? I didn't realize there was metric and standard gap sizes. 'cause I gapped em at .025 and it still sputters at about 5 grand. I guess I'm just gonna replace the wires, they look pretty nasty anyway.

[doug294]

I think its metric I believe. Yeah get rid of those nasty plug wires. There was a interesting post on DSM tuners about plug wires. They tested like a bunch and the MSD's ended up being the best.

I was wondering what to get! Thanx for the tip.

[doug294]

Your welcome. Now hurry up and get that motor in tip top shape so we can swap it in my 96 lol

[quiXilver]

Hah. Yea.
