I second that. I am trying to sell my powder coated valve cover but the baffles have a couple of busted rivets. Would be much easier to sell if there is a REAL fix for this.
Whiplash sucks. I always wondered what it felt like and now I know. It hurts everytime I do one of three things. Lay down, get back up, or looking behind me while backing up. I am pretty sure it's minor but it's enough to be reminded several times a day about the accident. It keeps replaying in...
Update. I have minor whiplash. The man in me says I will be fine. (not another man)I have full coverage minus uninsured motorist. I think it should work out fine though. Question...do insurance companies go by kbb dealership value or private party value?
It's cool to throw this in the hangout thread. I don't mind at all. KBB is 2750 for trade in, 3750-4k for private seller, and 5500 retailer. It doesn't have much done to it at all. I just want my 2800 dollar stereo system pulled out and my rims. Everything else is peanuts. I have a...
I heard that! Flying in the air and seeing headlights coming at you from the front when the last thing you remember was the headlights coming at you from the back is the scariest thing I have experienced in my lifetime.It would be great if they catch the guy that did it but 12k invested in...
Yea. Apparently so. I had to stop short of somebody that threw on the brakes late and I was able to stop in time. When I did that I took a glance in my rear view and saw lights heading my way fast. I knew I was about to suck a mean one and braced for impact. ROFLI almost got hit by...
I think I may have rim damage because I got launched over the center island into oncoming traffic. I haven't seen them in the light but they seem okay so far.If I am able to source another GSX or maybe even a GST, I am keeping the rims. Those old school Racing Hart C2s are near and dear to...
UPDATE - Damage is estimated at 9000 dollars before a frame pull. Missed out on a really clean GST. Eyeing a 98 talon awd now. Leaving pictures up for the mourners.
Saw this silver 2gb gsx tonight on capital expressway near eastridge mall. Mangled!These are pictures after I drove it home after the hit and run. I have spent a total of 12 grand on this car and now I will get a check for 5k from the insurance company if i'm lucky. At least I am...
Install is complete. System pounds.The memphis components that I got [15-prs6] sound pretty damn good for the money! I paid 90 cash for them brand new at a local shop. They matched the RMS that I needed for my system. I still need to do some tuning because the shop didn't quite get it...
My car is in the shop right now. I have some Memphis 15-prs6 components going in the front. I will let you know how that works out for me when it comes out.I have been told my system is going to be overkill. I am anxious to hear just how crazy it is going to be. I will open a new thread wih...
I am pretty sure that was me. I'm 27 so that's hood enough to qualify for middle aged. I thought middle aged was 40s though. Not many silver 2gs around here. Even less GSXs. Looking to keep it sleeper but just recently threw on some rims.Rare to see clean dsms in this area. Most are beat to...
I am looking for a picture showing how to get the wires down behind the dash from the pillar. There is a space by where the weather stripping was on the stock a-pillar panel.Is there any way to get more room to shove the wires down? I need illumination!
This is the part that I need and I can't find one anywhere on the net! If anyone has a link to where I can get one, please PM me with the link. Mitsubishi says they can get one but it will have to wait until Oct. 12th at the earliest.
I am considering picking one of these up. Is it a direct bolt on? No need for install kit? I have a stock sidemount. What intercooler pipe is suggested to make this work with my current setup. Just need it to hold me over until I can save for porting, fmic, and fuel mods/management
Strange that you are spinning after a bov and icp swap. Doesn't sound normal. Is your boost levels holding steady at 15 psi or is it just skyrocketing as you climb up the rpms?
Forcedperformance.com or dejonpowerhouse.com. Those 2 make the best intake pipes for less than the freaking injen. Us Cali guys take it in the but with having to have CARB certified intake pipes and filters.
I am not looking to get this thread closed. I decided to share my story and that was it. Everybody is welcome to have an opinion and share stories of their own. We aren't breaking any forum rules so I don't see a need to lock the thread.I won't deal out the street justice but I like to hear a...
I love bikes. I want one but refuse to get one because I know how dangerous it is to ride one with all the people oblivious to the traffic that surrounds them. That's why I choose a DSM. Fun to drive with protection. That and knowing people see me in their mirrors more than they would a bike is...
Thanks for the recipe! I hope I don't start growing crazy eyebrows and towing RV's with a body harness strapped on me. Jack Lalane is one scary old man.
Are you implying that I acted like a "woman"? My gilfriend has a temper that dwarfs mine. Does that make her manly? You are walking the line here.I think I took the high road. If you lived where I live, you might choose the "girly" side of the equation. But let's not delve into a sexist...
I love the stories guys. A couple of things...I was told that if you want to carry a bat in your car, make sure you keep a glove and ball as well for obvious reasons.Road Rash 3D is a classic!I believe the rule is the gun must be unloaded and in a locked case in the trunk.
ESJ! Hit it on the button. I wasn't at the heart or anything. King and Story! More like Capital and McKee. At least somebody on here can directly relate.
In California it's not so easy. If it's in your car, it is considered a concealed weapon. Do not pass go. Go directly to jail. As far as firearms go, sig sauer p228 black water tactical is my choice.But seriously, I am just going to cruise it or just leave em behind me. Afterall, it's just...
My dejon uicp makes a lot of noise under throttle lift. The Greddy doesn't. I think it has to do with how thin the dejon pipe is. The good thing about the Greddy piping kit is that it works on both the stock sidemount and the fmic core. Granted you would have to get a Freddy front mount to make...
This exhaust comes with an adapter to bolt to the stock cat. Slowboy is having a big sale this month. They can take care of you and answer any questions you may have. I picked mine up from them about a week ago. Also got their downpipe to match. Will post results after install in a new thread.
I will keep this short. 93 Lexus GS cuts me off. 3 Vietnamese guys in the car. I roll beside them and give them a look and then proceed to cut in front of them. I, in no way, provoked them to cut me off to begin with. So they cut me off once more and break check me. Now I'm pissed. I give what I...
Okay, somebody else needs to try this before talking like they already tried it on their car. Anybody that has been on dsmtuners long enough knows how to properly vent a bov and even still know the best way to go is recirculated. I will not say this guy is full of crap about his setup because I...
Incorrect. Injen makes 2 intakes. One with a recirculation fitting and one for blow thru.Get the one with a recirc fitting. Most everybody on the forums will tell you to recirculate your blow off valve to the intake. Should you decide to go to a blow thru setup at a later time, you can always...
The second video sounds pretty horrible. The first one not so bad. I think just running 2.5" o2 housing, test pipe, and 3" catback should be plenty loud. Probably sound better too. Thanks for the vids.
I keep hearing this thing is super loud. Is it really that obnoxious? I, for one, hate v6 camaros that slap flowmasters on their cars so they can sound "mean". Everytime I hear one I shake my head in silence. I know they can help with boost creep but so DES porting the stocker or just getting an...
I do not know for sure. What I can tell you is that they have openings for a 4 point harness should you want to go that route. The nice part is that they recline too. Give them a look here.Megan RacingCall them about the seatbelt issue. I haven't taken a close look at mine yet but if the...
Okay. If you care about your passengers' safety. Get seats. Recaros are nice. I am looking into the Megan racing seats at 250 a pop new. Still would need rails though.If you go with 1000 for the pair you like that leaves 300. Get the mbc and gauges. Turn up the boost to 15psi. That can be...
A new BOV will hold more boost than your stock 2g bov. Say you turn up the boost with a boost controller to about 15psi. If you are running a stock 2g bov, boost will leak past the bov and you won't see any gains from turning up the boost.You will lose boost by getting a new bov only if you...
Short answer, kbb value.Part it out. You can make back half of what you put into it. Maybe more depending on how patient you are when it comes to waiting for buyers to pay what you ask for.Good luck whatever you decide to do.
Sounds like you have a leak somewhere.Check all the lines that connect to your intake pipe and make sure they are connected securely. Also check to make sure your couplers are on completely and the clamps are nice and tight. You don't want any leaks in the intake system.Same with exhaust...
I do. Plan is to upgrade to larger DP and cat to mate with my Megan catback. Maybe a test pipe for track days. If I run a testpipe, I should expect CEL codes.
Mine does the same thing...its like the whole car is shaking from wheel hop or something. It only happens to me in the mornings. After a few launches...it clears up. What could that mean for me? Clutch wearing down?
If you want to go with a budget minded build as I am, I suggest getting the japanimportshop tsudo n1. It is the highest quality knock off you can get. Buy the cheapest hard pipe and filter combo that they offer on eBay. You can always spray the pipe black to make things look nice. You will need...
Air in your lines. When you bleed the brakes you have to make sure that you get ALL the bubbles out. If you didn't pump your brakes at all...you are guaranteed to have air in your lines. You are going to have to start over...here is an article that tells you all you need to know for a one man...
