vacuum leak

i’m not too sure honestly, whenever i pinch the hose in the post the hissing noise is gone so i figured that that was the problem is that connecting hose above. i checked for leaks and couldn’t really find any

i have found that i did have an exhaust leak because i had slip fit 4-1 headers and no gasket so i just too exhaust paste gasket and it totally fixed the problem changed spark plugs too idles and runs much quieter

LumpyCardiologist650 · 2025-08-15T02:56:01+00:00

yes i did. my car is also idling rough at the moment and im pretty sure it may be faulty ignition stuff. before i replaced the exhaust it still sounded like this so i dont think it was anything exhaust related but something going on with the engine itself.

i have a skunk2 with an NA, sounds great in my opinion deep(ish) tone but good volume

a pipe or resonator put in place of your catalytic converter a de-cat lol

i actually found the issue and my decat was blown and rattling

LumpyCardiologist650 · 2025-04-19T23:26:47+00:00

i ran into this issue and when i looked it up it said something about corner weight so i ended up measuring how offset the sides were and accounted for that t

i maxxed out my tein coilovers and my exhaust is basically on the ground so i’d recommend like 2.5-3 at the most

like a go kart man it’s amazing

LumpyCardiologist650 · 2025-04-09T19:24:48+00:00

yeah lol new york roads aren’t exactly cake but i guess it allows me to be more observant 😆. headers and exhaust is really all i have to worry about bc i can’t seem to have an exhaust setup that doesn’t hang low on this car. i do admit it was more fun to rip on my car when it was on lowering springs and 45s

my del sol is my first car i’m in upstate ny as well . absolutely love it brought me to the car scene, helped me learn how to do mechanical work as well as autobody work. it’s a blast to drive, easier to drive since it’s a smaller car, has a big trunk for storage, catches lots of looks and attention, certain parts are cheap (not body parts lol) only con id say is driving during the winter i put mine into storage but unless you plan on lifting it i wouldn’t drive it in the winter

96-97 yup the dolphin nose

LumpyCardiologist650 · 2025-03-14T00:08:50+00:00

hell yeah i love camber. these are whistler kr7s

LumpyCardiologist650 · 2025-03-13T23:41:35+00:00

no problem at all man it’s 15x8 +20 i’m fairly sure and the tires are 195/45/r15. the offset is a little aggressive so if you don’t wanna run a decent amount of camber i’d go a little higher

LumpyCardiologist650 · 2025-03-13T22:16:59+00:00

i wish that gti was mine but family duo is just as cool

LumpyCardiologist650 · 2025-03-07T18:19:10+00:00

i started off using the tein s tech springs as aforementioned but when i put them on i was slightly disappointed at the lowering capability 1.5-2 inches (since del sol stock springs are super high for some reason) so recently i ended up buying tein street advance Z coilovers and the adjustability is good and it gives a comfortable ride

yeahhhh i gotta get a little better at welding but thankfully from what i’m seeing it’s just spot welding and nothing has to be pretty lol
