  1. Are the underdrive pulleys really worth it?

    I have heard that new underdrive pulleys will reduce strain on my engine and allow it to spin a bit easier. How is this achieved? If i do get the part/parts how many do i need? I hear a good brand for those is unorthodox, any other good suggestions? If i do get that done, what are drawbacks of...
  2. Removing piece of bolt thread out of head

    Ok, i had this slight oil leak problem with my valve cover. It turns out that one of the bolts that is holding it down snapped off. The bolt itself is pretty thick, but the threaded tip on it is real thin. The threaded tip broke off and is in the head. This is not a major deal. My question is...
  3. How many coats of paint on rims???

    yea, and no. paint is surface. its kinda stick on. powdercoat melts into the top layer of the metal and diffuses with it. its much stronger. doesnt chip like paint, doesnt really fade. its better for all year around with salt and snow and dirt. easier to wash. doesnt scuff or lose luster like...
  4. crankwalk question

    1G engines dont crankwalk
  5. thickness of tires

    the smaller the middle number the harder the ride is, less rubber doesnt cushion it as much. i have 245/40/R18s on my 18x8 wheels, 45mm offset, no rubbing :)
  6. Is this a Hood Vent?

    i'd say its a vent
  7. callin car audio smart people

    so u want to upp the number of watt? or add 2 more 10's?
  8. What if I made a carbon fiber valve cover?

    they use metal ones for a reason. its on top of the engine. come on, think logically. u can make a lid over one that looks cf, but not the entire thing
  9. How many coats of paint on rims???

    i dont think painting rims is goin to last too too long. powdercoat will be much much better for that
  10. Hood Hump [Merged 7-7] bump lump bulge goiter mound

    i think if ur goin to start cuttin the hood, just make one like u want it.
  11. V6 into DSMs [merged 12-17-06]

    in reality, sure. look at what jesse james does and those hot rod shops. its doable. it will however cost a shitload. plus u will need to get an engine that will fit, relocate most of whats under the hood. probably make a whole new front end. all mounts brackets, tranny. its not worth it
  12. cold air intake

    oh, good ur done. gotcha
  13. cold air intake

    once that spout is cut off, plus it with silicone or what you want. i used silicone gasket maker for mine and its been working fine. next thing you'll need to do it attach a silicone coupling to the throttle body. attach the elbow piece to it, put on the hose clamp on the throttle body but dont...
  14. cold air intake

    next order of business is you removing the stock intake pipes. you'll need a screwdriver set, phillips and flathead. some socket wrenches will help a lot. its not involved, just kinda uncomfortable when u get into the airbox to get the screws out. it shouldnt take you long. dont force things, if...
  15. cold air intake

    allright first off. you will need a small saw to trim one of the aluminum spouts on the longer piece of pipe. also get some silicone gasket maker in a tube, i used that to plug that hole. fitting the pipes will take some pushing, sweat and swearing on your end also. its really helpfull if u have...
  16. cold air intake

    Okay, bro! dont fret. i will give you a walkthrough with photos! :thumb: i know the pain u are feeling as it took me about 4.5 hours to fenagle my intake in. so here ya go! enjoy! hope this helps
  17. turbo injectors in a n/t

    to get turbo performance out of a non turbo, u will have to do lots of work on it to get it to around 210 hp or get the turbo
  18. ? on how this would perform on a n/t eclipse

    i would say it'll be louder
  19. Sound System

    depends on what u mean by sound system. mine weighs me down, but i dont race. once i take it all out car moves up by like a inch and a half.
  20. Place and Price for hi-amp alternator

    venom or ohio generators, but prepare to fork out some cash
  21. Will my system slow me down much?

    u race or do serious sound, theyre opposite in terms of what u want with weight. u need to pick one
  22. Swirls swirls go away!

    wetsanding or repainting, thats it :rolleyes:
  23. speaker install

    wow, what are u ppl talking about? there is no such thing as a bass cutting capacitor. they call those "bass blockers" theyre little resistors, is all. a real capacitor is different. its made to accumulate a charge in it and let it out as the bass hits. it helps out with your electrical systems...
  24. no low end?

    great, replace the old stuff, try for gaskets and bushings, stuff like that. it doesnt seem like much, but after its all done it really adds up, ya know? see if u can get urself an engine rebuild kit. it comes with a wide selection of smaller things that break down overtime, clean it all up real...
  25. Short ram air

    Urban_S, i wouldnt do it. u can, sure its up to you, but its not worth the troble, really
  26. Pulling Engine???

    IM me for the manual, my sn on AIM is the same as this one. i'll send it to ya
  27. Short ram air

    sheetmetal is cheap, but! you'd be a lot better off with getting a full CAI system. it costs more but its a lot better than sheetmetal or a short ram. the point is to get cooler air into the engine. short ram intakes a too short. they take the air right out of the engine compartment and thats...
  28. where can i get 2G Spyder headers

    ask gary at www.mitsubishigraveyard.com he may help you out, or grab a compass and a map and check for junk yards
  29. Pulling Engine???

    i'd say that if u never pulled an engine, get it done in a shop or with somebody that knows how, get them to help. its an involved process. taking engines apart is not that simple. ur best bet is to get a shop that specializes in that sort of thing to look at it. im not telling u not to do it...
  30. no low end?

    well not really, u can get that 4 to take off rather nice. it may need to do some serious work on it tho. first off its a '91, thats a concern. replacing the small hoses, lines and junk should be a first step. older stuff leaks, cracks, leads to loss of pressure and such. getting all that under...
  31. Need help finding those interior trim rivets or whatever they are.

    did u check with Gary at www.mitsubishigraveyard.com ? he might be able to hook you up
  32. difference in headlights

    yea 2Ga (95-97) dont fit into the 2Gb(98-99) cars without some modification, this is a commong thing actually. u can either get lights made for your car, trim everything around them and repaint or get fenders and a bumper to make it all fit. personally i'd just get the right year headlights...
  33. Eeeek! Anyone know much about dsm trunk latch?

    The thicker gray covered cable you see under the mechanism is what unlocks the trunk when u pull the lever by the seat in the front. its marked with a green arrow in the photo attached. this is the cable that u want to find. you will need to remove the mechanism off the car to flip it over. find...
  34. Eeeek! Anyone know much about dsm trunk latch?

    okay, first picture is the overall view. i dont think u will have to remove the side panels, just the center one. mine are out, im doing work on it in the back there. now, this is the overall view of the back. the rubber plug is a good place for you to run the cable through. its high enough not...
  35. Need a new battery...What should I go for?

    buying batteries like that is highly overrated. i dont think we require that level of work out of them, just keep the car maintained and u wont have to worry about going a number of miles with the alternator out. simple as that. im only going for a second battery in the trunk becuase im doing...
  36. Need a new battery...What should I go for?

    if u want to just have a battery under the hood, theres no sense in getting a super high end. just get a decent one. if u want to seriously upgrade and have one in the trunk thats a different story. plus it depends on what ur going to do with sound, how far into that u will go. how big the amps...
  37. Eeeek! Anyone know much about dsm trunk latch?

    ok, here's a reply on topic. it is doable, i wouldnt recomend to do this but heres you go. u will have to remove the plastic paneling in the trunk. get a small steel cable and hook it up to the latch, route that cable down thru the floor or out of the vents that are in the sides. put a small...
  38. Rusted cat studs...

    yea, those seem to be stuck in there hard. drill them out with a proper bit. then break the leftovers with a chisel and put in new bolts, dont forget to put antiseize on things, just in case u will need to do something again and it will actually unscrew when u need it to. i've had some...
  39. Rusted cat studs...

    lubricant? what PB Blaster or somethin? or WD 40?
  40. Rusted cat studs...

    there is a way, u get bits made for metal and drill them the hell out, tap with a chisel to break whats left and take out the pieces then replace with new ones and cover them in anti-seize
  41. caliper paint? Do or Don't? [Merged 8-8] painting calipers brake brakes

    i think its a lot better to take them off. cuz u'll be able to get to all the spots on it to clean it and paint it, it'll be even and stuff. just cap the lines with u unhook them and ur okay
  42. New Rear Bumper
