    have you ever looked into any of the adhesives they use in autobody. 3m, lord fusor, evercoat and valvoline all make really good products. probly the best would be the evercoat since that one dont take a special gun, just a typical calking gun is all you need.

    I had a guy come into the store earlier needing some parts for a 1ZZFE, just a crank, and rods. Was interested in a stroker setup anybody know more. I will be calling around tomorrow to get more info but if any of you guys have worked on one or know where to start plz point me in the right direction. Oh and if you post up any internet links I'll kick you in the nuts, I'll have about 10 minutes to check back tomorrow morning before I go to work, so I can't sit in front of the computer hours looking for useful info on some toyota forum. Abbreviated works for me anyway.

    Read about the swap on Honda-tech. There are literally hundreds of threads on swapping H22/F20b's into 5th gen accords. You can use your stock tranny, but the gearing is longer and most people ditch the f22 tranny.

    I've had more 2G DSM experience than I wish. 2Gs don't have issues w/ the clutch not fully disengaging like the 1Gs did. They all use cables from the shifter to the trans, which is gay and sloppy. Like Nate said, switch to GM syncromesh, or Penzoil syncromesh, which is the same stuff, but cheaper. This should all be done and can all be found on the DSM VFAQ site: B&M short shifter, metal shifter plate bushings, Greddy counterweight shift knob, SS braided clutch fluid line and get rid of the fluid collection unit w/ that, remove the clutch fluid restricter inside of the slave cylinder. Of course if your slave or master cylinder are leaking, replace them. Make sure that there isn't a floor mat or something getting underneath the clutch pedal. When all this is done, it still won't shift that good because its a Mitsubishi transmission. Compared to other cars, their trannies are garbage, this has been proven time and time again. Like I said before, spend the money with Shep or TRE, thats your best bet.

    really? do you know where i can find a read up on flocking? i just thought that tearing off the pleather and then using adhesive would be pretty easy. How difficult is it to do head liner and A pillars?

    If its coolant you shouldn't see blue smoke and your exhaust would smell sweet. Blue smoke is oil, and the fact that its bad at startup makes me think valve seals.
