I thought you said you always use Armor-All on your dash and so did the guy before you?Oh, and you can pick up Mother's and Maguier's at Pepboys, AutoZone, etc... too.

So I tried searching and couldn't find my answer... Somewhere in the midst of the EvoIII builds and such, someone mentioned a place (I believe in TX) that some guy had a yard with older Evos and some other JDM cars in it. I found out yesterday I'm going down to texas for a while and if I can...

polished lips are played out.i used to like them a lot... but now every ####ing car has wheels with a polished lip. mine are all black.

DSMs are a great real tuner car. They have a lot of potential, plus you get many opportunities to actually work on your own car and learn things.I do not advise DSMs for people that just hop on the car fads. A friend said he was thinking about buying one, I told him it would be th ebiggest...

I say all one solid color, but it's your car. With that design though, maybe I'd do something different with the back. The dark grey blocks, maybe instead of squaring them off at the bottom, have them come down into points. At least on the one beside the taillight.

Same. Even when we talked about detailing in school (went for auto body) they highly recommended against using Armor All. I forget the exacts... but basically it contributes to drying out your dash, not really preserving it unless you are constantly putting it on.

For anyone thinking that the Cardinals are going to win.... put down the pipe. Srsly.Sure, they played NFC good... but... seriously... I really don't think the cardinals are gonna stand a chance. I don't even think it will be that interesting of a game.Steelers all the way.

That's the problem with people asking for opinions... when they get the one back they don't want to hear, they get all butthurt.If you like what you did, don't ask for people's opinions. If you want to know what people think, don't expect everyone to say "That's a great idea, go for it!"It's...

It scares me... but I'd love to find out how much all those parts would cost.

I have tested the manifold and sent the seller pics of exactly where we had some leak problems. He has agreed to pay me back (I'll eat the shipping costs, but that's fine). He said it might be a couple weeks, so we'll see how that goes. As long as he refunds me the money I am fine.Thank you...

Yeah, already did. Escalated it to a claim on paypal. There's a reason I didn't get one of the knock-offs on ebay. I don't think it'll be good going with the hot and heavy s256. ugh... got another response:Your wrong. it was bought new from slowboy. It is a turbonetics. The welding was done...

So I bought a Turbonetics T3 manifold from a guyoff of here, was told it had no cracks or leaks and was in good condition. I needed one kinda fast so I could mock up my turbo setup, so I sent him $190 on 12/22 and this is what I finally received yesterday...When I e-mailed him about it I...

I disagree about cutting the bumper... I've seen a few people do it and look good, but a lot of people just hack and leave it. I dunno, it ends up looking a little trashy. Truthfully, if I was thinking about cutting it, I'd make sure it looked finished too. Not many people do that, which is...

clean stock looking 1gb talon =sexy as hell 1gs really don't look good with a body kit.

wait... when did classifieds and newb forum merge???

That makes me miss my old Talon soooooo much. It was red w/blacked out tails... thought it looked so sexay

I believe he's actually looking for the subframe.What you paid $180 for is only bushings. Mitsubishi AWD 1G DSM Combo Subframe/Mustache Bushi [TN-1GSMBK] - $179.95 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce

That's what I need for my new turbo setup.

time to get a new/used one. I'd just pick up an ebay intake i've said this many times before... and will continue to say this... when it comes to stuff like intakes "pipe is pipe" There really is no reason to dish out insane amounts for a name brand intake pipe. Granted, I have a Dejon, but...

I would think if you're too the point where you need harnesses, you'd also want a roll bar at least....but yeah, you could just do a bar behind the seats I guess-get rid of having people ask to sit back there. i hate when people ask for a ride, I tell them no room, but then they argue that...

patience, another guy to help position it and some wrenches. win.But yes, i do like the headlights... I may need to buy.

sell your car and buy a N/T 1gs with bodykits-they just don't look good. You may think they look good on the internet, (at one point I thought this) but then I actually saw them in person. A buddy of mine had the drift kit... it almost looked ok. But still... I know it's your car, and in the...

You got some hood alignment issues I see..... (sorry, I'm a body guy)

I have to agree with going with Niteshades. Plus, you're in PA... cops hate that stuff here. I got pulled over for my old Tailights (blacked out with niteshades) he told me i had to remove my covers, so i just argued that was my tailights and i don't have covers. He went back, tried to pull one...

Might as well chime in. I'm in State College... sometimes.

I actually think someone did a write-up a few years ago on doing the headliner.... {ahem}http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-exterior-interior/193478-how-redo-your-1g-headliner.html

Aren't the tailights in the top pic the 1g EDM Tails that everyone sackrides? If so and you have THOSE tails, I'm sure you could sell them to someone on here or even get them to trade.I have no idea. 1gb Talon Rears look the best, I find the Eclipse rear ugly.I rest my case.

I'm really hoping for this one. Already checked the main sources of oil leaks, but I have the day off tomorrow so I'm gonna start chasing every single damn line to find any other leaks. We'll see... hopefully it doesn't end up with another DSM on jackstands for several months.

Yeah, it SHOULD go up with higher RPMs and it usually drops when at idle. I'm having the exact opposite and don't know what I should start looking at first.

I tried searching, but most that I found had the usual low oil pressure when at idle. I've got a 92 AWD TSI (6 bolt) Well, when low RPMs, around 2k or so, my oil pressure is at the lower line. When I get on the throttle harder (I noticed it most when in 3rd gear) anywhere from 3k up the pressure...

Sweet, 31!!!I think it was the "Would you use a little kid as a weapon" question that put me up there!

You can tell it's been repainted, it's missing the little fade dots coming from the grey... Still, pretty clean (except for the radiator)

damn..... less miles than my g/f's "reliable" 02 Lancer...I don't even think I'd mod it.

Every time one of these threads gets posted, you have a big chunk of the population say it looks horrible, another chunk say it looks horrible but can admire the amount of time and effort put into a project like that, then the ones that cling to the it's different so it must be good logic. Those...

If someone takes this this week I'll take $2000

That seriously made my day.I say do the full thing in a club. It would be a top viewed vid in no time.

Spam. ugh.

Yeah, I was watching it the other day - the episode where Elaine borrows Putty's car and find out he's a christian - and while she's driving, in th ebackkground you can see a red 1gb. (Just caught a glimpse-might have been a 1ga) But yeah, there was pretty much a whole season where every time...

He didn't say just to drive and then turn the car off right away. He said to let it idle after you get wherever.So, everywhere you go you get your turbo red? Let me guess, you live your life a quarter mile at a time? :DBut seriously, most people can afford to let their car chill for a...

You've already got some decent suggestions... the only thing I saw that I have to disagree with is a turbo timer. If you wanna keep your expenses low, don't bother getting one. I'm sure you can take an extra minute (not even) before shutting off your car. Other than that... my suggestions would...

If I ever owned a 2g, it's be a 2gb Talon. The body looks fine the way it is. My 1gb Talon was in the midst of the "eclipse conversion" when I bought it. It has been saved. Should start a group: Save The Talons

Haven't been on in a while, but I'm in State College, PA... just finished Wyotech in Blairsville, originally from around there, so I'm pretty familiar with all the stuff around the burgh.

I don't like it, just my .02, but if you're going to get it, you're going to have to do a full Eclipse rear conversion. Don't know if anyone already said that, or if you already knew it, but just making sure you do.

For you guys that ship out big stuff like front bumper covers, who do you go through to ship? Who has the cheapest rates? And does anyone know what the dimensions and weight are for a front bumper cover offhand?

From the sounds of the first post, I'd say your mind is already made up.Just keep in mind, no matter what car you get making 400hp cheap and reliable probably won't work out. That whole cheap, fast, reliable... personally, I think you can only pick one.Is it gonna be easier to make 400 on a...

:rolleyes:

Nobody uses the K&N oil filters???

Completely OT, but that's 2 threads within the past day that have been about hitting 12s...Anyway. Good luck with your build. I wouldn't go with a 16g, if you hit your goal, you're going to be maxing out that turbo, which will just be asking for problems. Like someone else said, build it up...

You must have missed that great, huge READ ME at the head of this forum.

I was having the same problem with the high temps, the bottom of the probe was against the manifold. As for it 0-ing out, I have no idea.
