You can only stop as fast as your tires will let you. My wilwoods with track pads and r*comps will suck my eye-***** out while braking.

I haven't seen it in a while, plus we know the craigslist scammers need some new shots to sell "their" crx.

Why wont it start vega? This is the damn ef discussion thread, if we cant fix it nobody can...

lol

sitting for to long.

I tried starting it like in Jan. But the battery was dead and it would just click
Jump start same thing.

I was having the same issue a while back and I was going through starters trying to see if it would help. But even brand new starters started to fail. Never had that issue before. I was thinking it was something with the transmission because it only started after I swapped to a LS trans. But I lost interested and never followed through. Small oil leak under the car too. Stuff looked like black icing.

Could maybe be a ground issue on the starter (causing it to burn out fast)? Axle grease under the car?

axles are good no rips.
I need to look under the car again to see where it looked like it was coming from. I already had it towed.

funny you say bad ground cause this only really started after I relocated my battery to the back

first time I was having this issue it was because the key ignition switch melted. Was told its a common issue with our cars, after awhile and a whole lot of starting the ignition metal get hot and start to gel together.

thanks. Although i love the usdm front, jdm fronts are sweet as well, take your car for example. All depends on the overall execution of the car i guess.

So I was taken on a used set of $2,000 Volks today. Promised in excellent condition and had a lot of minor knicks, scratches, and one wheel even had 2" of curb rash. I'm pretty irate, but I'm giving the person one response before I start bashing him online. Unfortunately, he's in NY, I'm in CA.
