Re: Manny's 96 turbo coupe: 8/14/18 update

I had that pod in one of my old Neons. It made for a bit of a blind spot, but it wasn't terrible. It didn't take long to acclimate to it. I actually like the look of the frog pod better, but I can see how it would block the other gauges a bit. That could get annoying, having to tilt your head to re...

Re: Manny's 96 turbo coupe: Carlisle 2018 pics inside

Well recieved my dual pillar pod piece. Test fit just to get an idea of what it will look like. Hoping to install it and have both gauges moved over soon. I'm going to love the pillar pods. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180814/171d3c14880631b99e938821a3449458.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.co...

Re: Manny's 96 turbo coupe: Carlisle 2018 pics inside

Wow, that will get your attention! Hahaha. Yes it will. And I'm currently looking at getting a dual gauge pillar pod to remove my frog eye pod. I've come to hate my frog eye pods. Why do you hate the frog eye pods?? They're fine. You can see your gauges plenty clearly in the shot below: https://far...

Bump. Ha. Got my fogs working again. Forgot how much they come in handy especially in my neon. They are so bright. I love it. Also I bought this center bezel piece from someone at Carlisle. Can't remember his name I'm sorry when and if he sees this but he is on here. And I'm currently looking at get...

Don't bother. You won't gain anything from putting bigger injectors in your car. It's worthless and a waste of time.

Good luck.

Your only option is either a Aem fic or MegaSquirt. There is no tuning the stock ecu.

If the fans are working as they should then it's maybe your water pump is just weak and not flowing enough.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the comments. Haven't had time to install them. Tho I did have time to remove my old black plastidip off my front bumper lip. I'm never using dip again. So terrible to take off. Plus I ruined the paint underneath it to the point I'm going to repaint the lip itself. Now I know...

Re: Manny's 96 turbo coupe: update 6/11/18

I agree on taking the black off too on the front fascia Yeah the worse part is breaking in a new clutch. 500 STOP AND GO MILES. Remember that. I would log the miles when I would go into town. Interstate/highway miles didn't count. Seems to take forever haha That's a good idea about tracking the mil...

Re: Manny's 96 turbo coupe: update 6/11/18

I think it would look a lot better without the black on the lip. I'd leave the black on the bumper itself, but keep the lip red. The new intercooler looks nice. Finally someone said something about that. I've been debating removing the black. It's just old plastidip. I'm sure I could remove it easy...

Everything's great. Runs smooth. Idles fine. No leaks. Good to go. After I have a chance to wash her up I'll sna...

Re: Manny's 96 turbo coupe: update 6/3/18

Check your grounds... I the only ground that I can think of being maybe bad would be the one on the lower starter bolt which goes to negative cable. Maybe me painting the trans made it useless. But I didn't get paint or anything in the side the ground is on. Either way I haven't tested that ground ...

So that's what a 7 grand tach cluster looks like. All the one's I have seen went to 8. One can only assume the SOHC cars got the 7's and the DOHC's got the 8's. Hmmm, I also noticed the cluster has stops at just over 7 thousand, and 120 mph. I'll have to look later to see if my cluster has those. Y...

Thanks, man. I've seen so many rippled fenders from half-assed rolling jobs, that I was nervous to be aggressive with it. But it turned out pretty nice, actually.

Looks a lot cleaner under the hood. You should throw some gold heat shielding on the firewall to match the trans paint. I thought about adding the gold heat shielding.
