One of my favorite vehicles has developed what sounds like a bad case of rod knock. I wanted to check here first to see if anyone needs anything off of a 3rd gen. It has tubular headers with new cats that I imported from Australia and the driveline has no issues. Wheels are the stock 17’s and...

There isn’t any provisions for mounting the stock heatshields on the headers. And I did think about wrapping them, but honestly I just ran out of time. If I have any issues with heat I will let you guys know, but so far it’s been fine. I haven’t started the thread yet, waiting on installing a...

Not hard at all. Just four screws hold it in, you unplug two connectors and a hose. Move down and reconnect. The hardest part was getting the DVD player reconnected because the wiring barely stretched far enough Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just thought I would share a few pictures of an install I just did of the Alpine Halo 9 headunit in my 3rd gen. I relocated the climate controls like a lot of people have with double din installs, but since this is a single din headunit, I kept the factory DVD player and relocated it up to take...

So here's the follow up on the tubular manifold install. I had a shop install them a couple weeks ago and I've been driving with them ever since. I wanted to get a few miles on them before I gave an initial impression. So far, they have been great. They have a noticeable improvement in power and...

I have used asa in the past but my windows install on my Mac isn’t working anymore. Looking at them I think they will fit, but any issues I run into I will be sure to post on here. If these don’t workout, I’m probably going to try and source some 4th gen 3.8 manifolds to see if the rumors of...

I just bought a set of the wildcat headers with cats for 3.8l motors from performance exhaust to replace my cracked factory manifolds. I have all the gaskets I need but I can’t find the part number for the factory manifold nuts and washers. Anyone have this info? In case anyone is wondering...

Here's the dimensions from my 2005 with no sunroof. Between wheelwells is 40.25" at the bottom where it bulges a bit by the rear vent and 43.15" at the level of the cup holders on the drivers side. My ceiling height is 43.5" but mine doesn't have a sunroof so those may be lower The length...

05 and 06 also came with 17's instead of 16's Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I'm taking it that you bought the new part number heater core that is suppose to need a new heater box? And it sounds like it fit right in the old box. I have to change mine soon and have been holding off trying to figure out if that new part was a straight drop in. Sent from my iPhone...

Mine did the same thing and to get it loose I had to remove the roof liner and have my sun hold the inserts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Replacing the adjustable shocks on the monteros that had them is not uncommon, so look for this black box on the rear shocks to confirm it still has the adjustable shocks. even if it had the switch for it inside, that doesn't mean it still has the shocks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice rig.I may be trading up to a gen 3 myself sometime soon(kids need the rear A/C) Looks like you're in my neck of the woods. Would recognize timp anywhere. If you ever need a hand wrenching, drop me a line, I have a decent selection of tools.

I've been lurking for awhile and planned on posting more when my 2.5 was more off-road ready but I figured maybe someone would be interested in the iPad mount I came up with. I got the idea off of someone's laptop mount that went under the center instrument binnacle(sorry I can't remember...

Yeah, I've done things both ways. I'm a former gvr4 guy, use to burn chips for keydiver on their forum, for that car I did a gt35 with an air/water intercooler and water/meth injection and eventually a standalone. I don't think the tuning will be much of an issue with just 4-5 psi in this...

You're over thinking what needs to be done to make enough power for decent hauling/towing. The route I'm going is a remote mount turbo for around 300hp but with a turbo sized small enough to spool up low in the revs, around 2000 rpms or so. Stock 3si injectors are plenty big for that amount...
