Sorry, there is no placebo effect in what I've experienced with the way my car responds now that I have made these mods (over time) vs. how it responded in completely stock form. If you notice, I didn't say much if anything about increased noise. It doesn't matter to me. I bought my car because...

Yeah I had to replace my driver side door handle. It broke one day while it was raining so I had to climb in through the passenger side. Yes you guessed it, that will tick you off after a hard days work :ohdamn:. However, I ended up getting one off of ebay and yes it had the stiffer, somewhat...

It needs to be a 5 speed IMHO. The work that it needs is going to cost some labor money unless you are willing to do it yourself. The pics show it to be in good condition bodywise, but cars are meant to be driven. If it was me, I would look at a worst case possibility and look for other TSI's to...

Hey I won't beat you up about it, because I at one time was searching for a set. A buddy of mine knew a guy who had just installed them and like clockwork, before too long he hated them and said they were a hassle. I have to admit it hurt to hear it because back in the day, before they were...

Look my car is a DD and N/T and I love it. I have done some mods and I am happy with them, but then again I was looking to tweek performance a little and not drag the car or try to get it to perform like a turbo. So far I have added a header, aftermarket muffler, racing plugs, cold air intake...

That was a great guide to the HDLip mod. I am going to do mine tomorrow for sure. Thanks!! :thumb:

Ok I went to Lowes and looked for the garage door items (which I found), but didn't see liner that wasn't hard rubber or lite plastic. Well actually I saw door sweep which had a 3 or 4 foot span of rubber that kinda looked like it would work, but then I would need two pieces of which I would...

What do I need to do to mod my talon with the HDlip like yours because it looks great? Is that rubber?

Alright, his work looks pretty good! Is he still doing this because it sure make it easier to install gauges?

You're right, there are plenty of us out there. :thumb: I too have seen us riding around.

Wait a minute,... where can you find these lips? I have been searching for one for a while.

On the real, that's a nice design. It's simple but definitiely stated and gives the car more presence. What NFS are you playing?

I agree, there are better things to say there and even though I roll in a Talon, I too have wanted to change the wording in that space. The Talon doesn't have that much of an area to work with like the Eclipse. If anything, I would like to have the area backlit to highlight what the car is as...

Thanks Anubis. I did some checking and found that yes there really is a 95 version of the coolant reservoir bottle which contains a coolant level sensor. I ended up finding a drawing of it on the internet, and then called Mitsubishi to confirm it. I now have a new coolant reservoir assembly on...

I tried that, but couldn't seem to find the link to do so. I'll try again, but do you have anything to add in terms of my coolant issue, or did you only want to fire off? Can we try to be helpful on the content of the post please? We're DSM'ers :thumb:, and we can be helpful. :D

Ok fellow DSM'ers I have a problem that has come up with my coolant that I am sure someone has had to deal with before (because I cannot be the only one.) The problem is my coolant bottle is leaking .... I think. I filled up on coolant (50/50 mix) last week and now the coolant is way below the...

I own a 95 Talon ESi N/T (modified) that has a little over 287,000 miles on it and I must admit that I put it through some paces several times a week. I like touge running through the mountains so the car does get its workout. She gets good maintenance and its common for me to be under it two...

Yeah for me it would be more so how it felt after the mod rather than what the dyno read. I'm not rich either, but I do love when the talon is running right and the mod I just added to it enhances that experience. Besides, a little more get up and go that I can feel (even if its just a slight...

Yeah, I agree with using your current DSM as a DD. Hey that's what I am doing. My ESi is way fun to drive and has some good pick up. So I guess what I am saying is that it depends on your goals. If you want to open up the possibility of building your car for power that doesn't require spray...

It would have to be a custom fab that doesn't cost much to buy, but does look pretty good. Considering that it's not for everybody, there could be stages for the desired look, fit, and function. For instance, I would buy it for not only ease of install, but ease of removal because I have...

I've thought about removing and custom fabbing something like what you guys have shown. My only thing is I would like for it to look ... seamless ... like it was born into existence without a rear seat. I know it will take time, and its not really a priority, (you know since we can take out or...

Motozachi, can you post pics of the hinge work. I already checked out your dash and interior ... super clean job man:thumb:. I am looking for ideas with the passenger side airbag. Thanks!:DNot really, I thought the same thing at first, but every time I look at the passenger side airbag area...

I've been thinking about placing gauges in my passenger side airbag port too. Has anyone ever done this to a 2g eclipse or Talon?

That's not too bad. So 91 octane huh? Well I guess that means I would have to run Premium at all times. Yeah, since I now run mid-grade Shell, running high test would bite a little. I will think about it for a little while and make a decision. :hmm: Thanks for the additional information...

Dag, I'm glad I looked at this post. I was in the process of checking them out on ebay when something said to place it in the search bar on DSMtuners.com and see what comes up. Thanks guys.:applause:

Thanks for the information Fotowntalon. I might just go that route. How long have you run it and have you ever experienced any issues with it?:hmm:

Well I thought to give it a try. I went on to YouTube yesterday and found out the 95 Eclipse in The Fast and The Furious that Paul Walker drove had a modified passenger side airbag to include three gauges. The only problem is that the gauges were not angled so that he could see them while...

Oh Boy! Thank you so much! I have been looking for an altenative to the A pillar setup for a while.:hellyeah:OK I found this one but its not for an eclipse or talon. I couldn't find them at summit racing, or autometer.OctaneMotorSports.com

Does Mitsubishi even carry ECMs for 95 Talon ESi's?Ok I understand, but my car is working and it wants to cut when I drive it sometimes and then run directly after. So from what I am reading (and thank you for all the information by the way) it will be kind of a trial and error on getting...

Ok. Well with that being said, I looked around and found out that some of us use remanufactured ECM's. Does that mean that they have been reflashed to eliminate the issues that 95 ECM's were experiencing; or does it mean something different?:hmm:Has anybody got a picture of the location...

Hey where did you get the triple gauge pod for you dash? If you still have it, can you take pictures of it and post them? Thanks:)

Do you run the AFX? I clicked the link and read up on it, but I am wondering how well it performs.:hmm:

Yeah I agree the seats are tight! I have black Corbeaus in mine. You are going to love their ability to hold you still in curves and hard pulls.

Ok I went to YouTube and checked it out. I love your engine bay and your mods. Your idle sounds crazy man but even for the most part. What kind of gains have you experienced?

Looks real good! I am all for mods that require more brain than $ (especially when they work, so congrats!)I know you are not finished, but I am wondering ...what will you do about smoothing out the air vent cuts in your hood?

Congrats! :thumb: I've been looking for a double din deck for my ESi with the same capability as what you've stated. I normally run Alpine, but what model number Pioneer did you get?I took off my wiper arms and sanded them, cleaned them, and painted them black so they can look like new...

I agree wholeheartedly

I'm airbrushing parts of my dash today. So far I am in the middle of spraying the console frame, gauge bezel, and gauge frame.:thumb:

Hey godschylde777, I just want you to know that you've inspired me to redo my interior. Today I got up and stripped her down and put in a new dash. I read your post and then went out and took pieces of it out and now I am getting ready to airbrush those pieces. That's the result of great posts...

Yeah ... I have to agree, I hate that you went through all that, but you definitely came out on top with the car. Hey, its a DSM, so you will be familiar with how it runs and turn wrenches, but you'll get a whole lot of fun out of it. Glad you both got home ok and that the car is out of ICU...

DAG! :ohdamn:How was it? I've never been to one and wanted to go to one.

I replaced the dashboard in the ESi. If you ever do it, remember that all plugs from the wiring harness are hanging below the dash before you screw it into place. All of mine were except for the long black one that directly connects the wiring harness to the ECM connections on the floor of the...

Ok I just got finished changing out the passenger side CV axle. It wasn't too bad an ordeal. I had to figure out how to pump the fluid that came out (about a pint) back into the ESi, but it worked out ok. (Don't worry the fluid was uncontaminated.)I will say this, on 95 Talon ESi's, the filler...

I put in a new CV axle on the passenger side of my ESi.

Thanks! I will keep that in mind when I get to installing mine.

Yes mine too moves side to side, which is why I am getting ready to change mine out now. I was under the car looking for oil leaks when I noticed both boots torn on the passenger side CV axle. My car is 16 years old so I figured its time to change out both of them since its kind of simple to do.

Right around what time?

Thanks for the reply. That is one of the only positive replies about glowhift gauges I've read lately. I wonder... did glowshift just start out under par and then maybe got better in their product quality over time or what?:hmm:

Yes you have been very helpful, but I have another question... Is it so inaccurate that it's not feasible to place it there? How much of a difference in readings are we talking ... approximately?Does the sandwich leak because it twists loose over time or is it just made a little off? Oh and...

What effect would it have on a 2GNT like mine that doesn't have a 3" sized downpipe?
