That's your toe or camber? What are you asking exactly? Traction rods don't adjust toe or camber. They adjust rear castor or something like that. Something you don't need. Most shops can't even set rear castor.

Here, read this:

Basically if you have RUCAs and your car is low, you need toe rods. No one needs traction rods, they just help firm up the rear suspension by eliminating rubber bushings.

is there a difference between s14 a/c compressors? i just got one from a enki for my kouki and the holes on the compressor are slightly too small to bolt the lines into....Ideas?

[jonnybonds84]

Yeah I meant to say toe rods. That was my Camber in the rear, i was asking if there is another way of correcting you rear camber instead of buying RUCAS. I read up on Eccentric Bolts and I was wondering how much would they correct. Anyone with some experience with them???

what makes the paint to crack?

i was painting my interior today and on the 1st coat i notice some area started cracking so i stopped.

[shiftdrift]

are you using proper paint? maybe you ddidn't prep it well enough, it could be porosity in the paint.

[killer240]

uh i hella wet sand it and apply gease and wax remover and let it dry.. i painted other stuff too and they came out clean.

f it. ill just put carpet on.

Might be a lil different but they can both be used with each other.

probly timing or something of that nature. walbro pump may outflow an oem unit but wont cause you to run rich since its operating pressure is still going to be the same as a stock pump due to the FPR.

ive heard people swear it flows so much that the stock fpr cant handle it. the truth is if your stock fpr is getting over flown its simply a bad unit.

Something better then stock and clean looking. I don't want any subs...just some aftermarket speakers.

[RacerfreakXXX]

Is it better to buy rusty 240 for cheap and get the rust repaired or save up for a not-so-rusty 240?

[shiftdrift]

get a non rusted one.....i repaired all the rust on my car and it was a PITA! and if you don't do it yourself or have the skill it will cost a nice penny.

[thenooblet]

how many oz/quarts of primer, paint and clear would it take to paint my whole car(s14)? exterior, bay, and interior? and how many coats of what should i do? first time painting by myself

hmm, yesterday i was drifting around in the rain and hit a curb pretty hard. now maybe im just paranoid but it seemed like my suspension was more bouncy than before. i have brand new stance suspension no more than 3 weeks old. you think they can break?

also, my passenger side light kept opening and closing after shutting off the lights, wtf? just the passenger

If you dont want a sub, yet you want good sound,
look towards component speakers.

coils probably blew, not necessarily saying all of them are blown but its a possibility that one or more is.

passenger side light... check the door sensor.
its in the door jamb, next to the door seals.
should have a lil rubber cover.
usually when the rubber cover wears out, the door sensor gets tripped randomly.

actually wait, which light are you talking about. i just confused myself.

Can a S13 auto tranny be used in a 95 S14?

Not so rusty. It's just better that way. Time, money and over time the rust can come back if it was not done right.

hahaha, sorry i meant the drivers head light on the passenger side

but also, could the coil blow even before 1 month of use? it wasnt that hard of a hit, max was like 10mph cause it was raining and the curb isnt too steep

if it blew how could i check? just bounce the car?

just use some bricks.....

[doomviillain]

here is my dumb question... My gas gauge is messed up. when i fill up it moves to about half tank. then when i am running on fumes it sits way below E. my whole cluster works fine. except this. is there a way i can take it apart move the needle to a predetermined position to get it to be a bit more accurate?

i think this issue has to do with an old sensor, maybe your needle did fall out of alignment but im pretty sure it would be a real pain in the ass to open it up and fix it, dont know tho
