You sound a lot like me, in fact especially so at that age, but I've learned a lot since then. You're trying too hard, you won't change her mind this way, she'll just get used to saying no, and sick of you talking to her so much. Your best chance is to just stop talking to her, if she's interested s...

Oh wow, I need to start paying attention to post dates, forgot how slow this forum moves. Sorry about the wreck though...

Cool site! Looks like a Japanese Car Domain sorta, or more of a blog for car people, at least part of it.

What horrible wheels, that think needs to be slammed with that offset, or new wheels. The design isn't bad, but with that wheel gap and offset it looks terrible That looks to be just a GTS-T Type M. In that case... meh. Not to sound all high and mighty, but GTS-Ts are like Camrys around here. I see ...

I'll have to go check. It's a Swoosh Turbo timer/Boost controller, no one seems to be able to find a website for them...Otherwise I'd email them or something. I'll check a little later to see if there's a current. I just got my wisdom teeth out this morning, so don't really feel like getting up for ...

Hate to keep asking these stupid questions, but I'd rather do this than screw something up. My turbo timer has a boost controller as well, the timer is all hooked up, but I have a single wire to hook up for the boost controller, and also the vacuum hose, but I'm not sure where to put the wire to. I ...

I wouldn't pay too much attention to the numbers they give you. I went to firestone 6 times, and they never once got it right, every time they gave me some badly off number, and a new fixed number, and every time the alignment didn't change at all in reality. It's most likely the toe that's causing ...

Just throwing it out there, but why not just go to Best Buy and buy one? You should be able to find one for under $100 with everything you need. Hell, my $600 stereo doesn't sound a whole lot better than my old $90 JVC(that I don't have anymore, sorry) Otherwise check out the best buy private auctio...

Oh I got one. I was driving to work in my e30 325i, generally at some point along the way I get pretty mad for whatever reason, mostly because of stupid people, they just like to drive on that road. I came to the spot where I'd normally move over to turn right into work, but no one was letting me in...

Bump, I'll also take trades.

A paint job made a huge difference on that car, it looks really good with the front lip, but yea the sideskirts need to be extended, also the lip needs to be painted.

I like it, very understated

Yay you win! It lives! I didn't realize these things were that smartThanks, I guess this should be a lesson to just do it right to begin with instead of trying to simulate it. Now I gotta find what wire to hook the boost controller to, but that's for another day

But from the two links above does the wiring look right aside from that? I'll try hooking it up to the ebrake right and get back to you.

Oh, you didn't connect the parking brake wire? You lied when you said you got it "all wired up" then. :P Well that's it right there -- the timer's only supposed to keep the engine running if you put the handbrake on. With the handbrake off, it does exactly what you're seeing it do. Connec...

I'm not wasting my time looking up your no name turbo timer. I'd be more causious about blindly hooking stuff up to your electrical system. My point was that I tried that already, they don't seem to have a website, this was the closest I could find. The guy was just reading out of the manual for hi...

1. Find out from a REAL source not another BBS what the wire colors mean on your turbo timer. Here's a crazy idea, check the manufactures website! 2. Look Here for what wires to connect to the car. Awesome! Thanks! Now why don't YOU try looking for that website, and maybe you'll see why I'm using a...

If you want another turbo then buy one. You should be able to fix that just by drilling out the studs like you would a broken bolt, or maybe even just twisting it with locking pliers.

Mine is going through the middle of my car, lol. I really just wanted it in right then when I did it. At some point when I figure out how to get the center console up, I'm gonna run it under that, then under the small patch of carpet on the hump in the back, under the back seat into the trunk.

I got it all wired up now, but I have an issue. I can't get it to actually work basically. It turns on when the car turns on, and it's set at 30 seconds, but when you turn the key off, the car stays for a split second and turns off when the stereo does. My friend thinks it's something with the ignit...

There was a hole in mine just above the driver side pedal with a rubber grommet in it, I just pulled it out, eventually I'll poke a hole and put it back in...

Ok so I found out more about the company and apparently it's pretty big in Japan. But I found this thread about wiring it up, would it be the same for a 96 Legacy as it is for a 91 turbo? I don't wanna screw anything up.

Are the sidemarkers JDM too? I didn't see any Legacys with amber, so I just did it myself on mine...

I'd consider swapping to a newer year steering wheel. My friend got a ticket for putting a Nardi in his STi, though to be fair he does attract a lot of attention. IMO stock wheels look better though anyway. You could do what I did and get one with the airbag deployed and just cover it with something.

My 91 didn't have an airbag, and the wheel I put in had the bag deployed so I wrapped it in suede.
