1) mine - possibly bent valve, hopefully just fried distributor, wont start. bad oil pump, bad rear main seal, at mechanic's as we speak

2)gabe (tekron03) - blown turbo, was on it's way out on friday, blew it pwning a eg hatch

3)david (havoc 95) - gettin out of freeway car lost massive power, died, wont start up, it'll turn over but not ignite and stay on, sounds like something shorting out somewhere like ignition-wise

4)andy (dsm panda) - oil squirting everywhere, all around alternator, ps, get on front bumper, all around valve cover, etc. dont know source. oil cap gasket is good, new valve cover gasket yesterday

5)clockworktoy- clutch or TOB cant get car into gear

6) Eric (DSM 99)- the 1G is down, head is being rebuilt and replacing clutch

7)awesome_asim187-intake cam messed up turbo wont spool=no boost.

8a)Elias (res7bequ)- GS-T crankwalk... just got new 6 bolt

8b) GSX 1st gen radiator i'm using cant seem to do the job so overheats after a while.

9a) 1st gen GSX drivshaft spins but the car goes nowhere.

9b) 2nd gen GSX, my oil cooler is loose for some reason and it leaked out all my oil, however i did not overheat.

10) Phalanx: Broken oil feed line (got a new line from slowboyracing). Blown turbo cause of lacking oil (waiting for my new Garrett T3/T4 Vtrim to come). Randomly misfire on cylinder 1 (closest to driver). Water pump was not working but it is working now :-\


11) Talesin: Good as down, still drives but with a fuel pump CEL for some reason and a notable power loss. Interior in pieces, trying to figure it out. Undercarriage soaked with oil due to NAPA oil change... might be tranny fluid but I'm afraid to find out. Battery potentially dead due to long-term bad alternator undercharging (which can kill a drycell). Clutch slave cylinder died, replaced... appears to be holding for the moment.


12) 90gsx: need to change T-belt again, find small vacume leak.

13) snapped the welds holding the upper control arm to the chassis. Re-weleded it on like frankenstien. It holds. Getting new shocks tomorrow and some poly upper strut bushings. Need to power steering rack and alignment. My suspension is a mess, but engine and turbo is good!

14) H8VTEC - Oil in coolant,
14b) 66 VDUB - broken rocker arm stud
14c) 95 S-DIME - Batteries dead for hydros


15) awdmonster - wont fire in 2 injectors i cant find the problem
15b) no paperwork on the gsx need to go to dmv
15c) temp sendor wont work


16) RiG - Mike - TOB or clutch problem on TSi AWD. Trans come sout this week. All other cars run well, knock on wood. haha.

17) bras_33: 97 cracked head due to over heating from a old/bad radiator...coolant and oil all over the engine bay...

1 AchromicSkin311 (Chris) - blown rings, stripped timing belt...going through total rebuild

19) 23billawd - Blown turbo(rebuild)
19b) Slightly Bent valve
19c) Smokes either turbo/head gasket
