    OK for all those people who have an SSQV on their cars I was wondering what happens to the "S" intake hose (dont know the actual name of it) right by the MAS? do you have to get a new intake hose?

    NOS system question

    First off Im not puttin No2 on my current DSM. Im gonna wait to trade in for a GSX with a manual trans. I have an auto GST as more or less my guinea pig car to establish myself and get myself comfortable with DSM. I have no intention of putting "explosives" behind my seat right this instant...

    keep blowing fuses

    just for future reference, what would be the best way to find a short thats buried and hard to find?
  13. 99Mitsu

    keep blowing fuses

    you absolutly right. I found out it was a frayed wire from some headlights i never hooked up, it was touching my fender and shorting the system out. I put electric tape on it and its fine (for now, knock on wood). thanks for all the help guys

    keep blowing fuses

    The radio and everything else is fine. The only way I know my tail lights went out when i drive is because my gauge lights go out. When I put the new tail lights in I accidently cut one of the wires (i think it was the green with white tracer) but I soldered it and put electric tape around it...

    keep blowing fuses

    no there is an aftermarket radio put in, but it was before i got the car. The headlights work fine, its the tail lights that burn out and the only way i know is because my gauge needles and climate control lights go out.

    keep blowing fuses

    My tailight fuse keeps blowing out. Im on my 3rd in 2 days. I found out it only blows when I turn on my drivin lights. About 2 months ago one of the wires accidently got cut when I put new tailights in. I soldered it and wrapped it in electric tape. I just took the tape off and I see nothing...

    Transmission Failure

    where is the drain plug located on the trans?
  20. 99Mitsu

    Transmission Failure

    I think my trans may be going out (auto trans) but honestly I'm not sure. My car isnt shifting as smooth as it used to and when my car shifts from 1 - 2 its really jerky. Also my trans dipstick is diffucult to read so i have no idea how much A/T fluid is in there. What are some signs that my...

    Suspension or trans?

    Suspension or trans?

    My eclipse GS-T has both left tyrods and the axel busted. I just ordered the parts today but another problem came up. Whenever i go into reverse (automatic trans) the car suddenly starts vibratiing a lot more than it does in anyother gear, and it just started doing it. Im wondering if its my...

    Blow off rip off

    Im gonna take the pipe to the store and having the BOV test fitted on. Then I'll see what comes in this "kit"
  24. 99Mitsu

    Blow off rip off

    I know a few people who have SSQV on their DSM and they say its very good. The pipe is flanged I believe. (i dont really know how to gets pics up on here) The pipeing setup is a GReddy but as long as its flanged I dont think having an HKS BOV on a GReddy is a big deal.Right now Im deciding...

    Blow off rip off

    I am looking into an HKS SSQV bov for my 2G. I was told by the people down at my customs store that I need to buy a $35 flange and WELD it into my piping. The BOV is $175 and they want another $175 for an HKS "kit".I just bought a used hard piping setup off a buddy the other day and I'm...

    i just did the biggest blonde thing in the world. I took off the outer bolts and not the valley ones and tried to pry cover off and ended up putting a hole in the spot between the head and cover. I have a temp fix with RTV but it wont hold for long. Can i use some RTV when i put the new gasket...

    My aftermarket front bumper got ripped off the car this morning on the way into the garage to get painted. I had an Exteme Dimensions 'Blits' FIBERGLASS bumper. I'm thinking about getting the same thing in urethane. I was wondering if urehthane is worth the extra money and will it crack as...

    Fiberglass or Urethane [Merged 7-9] polyurethane poly

    interesting to know, thank you. I am planning on parking my DSM in october and driving my 71 plymouth for fall and winter and taking my DSM back out when the weather gets nice. Chicago winters are no joke and I need RWD or AWD for them

    Fiberglass or Urethane [Merged 7-9] polyurethane poly

    well get this, I took my car into my local bodyman to get painted and as I'm leaving with my dad, he goes to pull the car into the garage and the bumper cracks in half on a bump as he pulls into the garage. But hey, I get a better bumper now right :)

    bad o2 sensor?

    My car is running REAL rich. My bumper is black within a half hour of cleaning the soot off and I'm getting HORRIBLE gas milage. I do not have a logger or OBD II reader is I cant go at this internally. I have a downpipe for my exhaust so my catalytic is not there. I ordered a new o2 sensor (the...

    Electrical problems

    their aftermarket "smoke" style lights

    Electrical problems

    The old lights were working fine. I found out that the tail light fuse ONLY blows when i turn my driving lights on. It doesnt make sense though because the driving lights worked fine the first time I tested the tail lights. Im going to try to trace it down more to specifics and I hope its...

    Electrical problems

    I just put in new tail lights today and I noticed that some of my dash lights were not working (the gauge needles and climate control knobs). I got home and put the lock on my car and relized only my 3rd tail light was working. I dont think its a fuse because of the 2 unrelated things going out...

    Rear bumper exhasut

    every since I put an Apexi N1 exhasut on my car, I have exhaust deposits that build up on my bumper and it looks very ugly. I wash the bumper and the deposits come back within a half hour of driving. My car is white is it looks even worse. Does anyone have any suggestions on how do stop/prevent...

    Front wheel drive limits

    i was gonna put an FMIC on when i upgrade my turbo, BUT i was told that i would have to go with long route piping because short route has to be custom modded and i know FMIC only works on DSM /w short route. They also tried to run me $300 for intercooler and another $250 for long route piping. I...

    Front wheel drive limits

    i was about to buy a boost controler a few weeks ago but relized that it would do much good with my stock BOV that cant handle much past stock boost. The place I get my aftermarkets from (top speed auto sport) has HKS SSQV for $310 /w tax, they were also the ones that said turbo kits are...

    Front wheel drive limits

    im not giving up on DSM, i just need to know how to improve my traction because everyone out here is running mustangs (new and old) or an inline 6 cylinder like infiniti G-35 or V-tech hondas.

    Front wheel drive limits

    im not saying its bad, im saying i you get more power with AWD or RWD. I mean how much do you have to do for a FWD to run 10s and 11s if its even possble. My eclipse is a FWD with an auto trans. I would like to convert to a manual and it doesnt sound that expensive, its the time and headache...

    Front wheel drive limits

    I have been told (by a few people) that front wheel drive cars are only good up to about 220hp because they dont have enough traction (even with upgrades) to handle big horsepower numbers. i need to know for myself if this is true so i'm not beating a dead horse with mods that wont help me.
