    Is that a stock front bumper with the mustache cut out ? Looks more like an aftermarket one thats been cut. Im looking for a good stock style one that I can cut.

      When the car was monarch green was it had an aftermarket bumper. Currently have an OEM with the mustache cutout

    Looks really good and how much did it cost for parts and all to make it awd? I've got a 1999 gs and I'm wanting to make it awd
    Cameron Eddington, Aug 20, 2019
    1. dskagr
      I just found a cheap donor car, so it depends on how much you can find one. But for the gs I believe you'll have to do the whole custom evo awd route rather than the gsx way.

    Making me miss my DSMS. I kind of gave up when parts are so hard to find for it. And I dont mean mechanical parts. I mean window seals and interior. I wish someone remade that stuff. I would be looking for my 6th DSM.

    This engine bay is simply un-real.

      It looks really good I'm looking to get back into dsm's I sold my 98 rs over 8 years ago and have regretted if ever since.

    The stanced look of this car is just gorgeous af OMG I assume you're running some degree of camber to get those wheels to fit underneath the car, right?

    Also how did you manage to get your engine bay looking so clean and neat? It looks like half of the stuff is missing honestly (power steering pump and reservoir, power steering lines, main fuse box, cruise control solenoid and throttle cable just to name a few things :D )
    raptoranderson, Feb 27, 2017
    1. dskagr
      I was just running the standard natural camber that the car gets when lowering it. Those xxr's had a healthy stretch, and a lot of pulling and rolling all around.

      Alternator Relocation, MR2 power steering, and no cruise control, although I could have tucked that as well. Fuse box is in the passenger side airbag spot.
      dskagr, Feb 27, 2017

      I totally dig the clean engine bay look you've got going on. It's definitely something I could see myself screwing about with over a weekend in pieces here and there. Would you mind if I pressed you for ideas about how you cleaned it up and more specific talk about how you did it?

      I did my research when I was looking for mines ;)
      He is running 18X9.75+20 with 225/40 tires.
      You will have to pull/roll fender to run that large.

      I am answering everything for him LOL !

      Take a look at his stancenation page, everything is in it:

    I used an Image of your car in a video I made. Just wanted to let you know. I didn't realize it until I saw you on the forums, I originally got the image off of google.

    My first car was an eclipse this color. I didnt like the color all that much at the time but now, even more so after seeing yours, I really like it. Great car you have there.

    Damn bro, this is by far in the top 5 cleanest 2g's i've seen, i hope i can get into my car more and fix it up and make it as clean as yours.

    It's cars like yours and Nick's that keep me from repainting my car. Those of us with clean monarch green cars are in a very small group.
