Hey all,

Names Evin, I'm 30 next month, and located in Idaho. Picked up my first DSM, a black 95 GS-T, last month. When the car ran, I loved it...but now I'm having issues and was directed to this site haha. Anyways, coming from sport bikes to turbo cars is a new experience, so I will likely be asking a lot of stupid questions.
 
Welcome!

Just remember, the search button is your friend! It's likely any issues you run into have already been documented and resolved. If you can't find a clear answer or you're still unsure, don't hesitate to ask.
 
There are no stupid questions just the ones you don't ask. These are temperamental little cars but with proper maintenance and your own touch, they can and are fun as hell.
Welcome to THE BEST DSM Site, we are glad to have you around and look forward to helping you enjoy yours!
 
Welcome to the community. Did you buy a modded eclipse? What kind of problems are you having? I just bought a 97 gsx come check it out on youtube.

Nice car! Actually my 95 is stock still surprisingly. I am hoping to put the same bumper you have on yours on mine after a while.

Where about in Idaho? I just picked up a 98 Gst that needs a serious rebuild. Lets share local parts contacts. I'll be rebuilding mine throughout this year including visits to the local yards for parts. Welcome to the forum.
 
any updates on the car? Welcome!

311 thanks! Got her running, the stupid metal pin that holds the starter was pinned between the motor and trans. Now that that's resolved, I'm working on putting some cosmetic parts in her since she's running good. I'm doing a 99 front end bumper and headlights, with 15% window tint, godspeed front sway bar, and just doing the typical sway bar links/tie rod ends to update them. I'm going to try and post a picture of how she is with the tint now if my phone will let me.
 
Here is how she sits now.

Welcome to the site. I pass thru often even in my daily "big rig" and I'm currently restoring a 95 talon with a 98 Mitsubishi body. Got mine from a local friend it's an auto. Just getting the maintenance done before the upgrades.
 
Here she sits with the 2GB front (on the right). I need to paint it still, but it looks a lot better. Currently putting a list together to do a 400hp build. I'm needing to hunt down an ecu so we will see how that goes. Eprom is the one I want in case I can't get Dsm link right away correct?

Well, we are getting the parts in. The B16T kit should be here in a few days at most. Now to figure out how to change the pins and which ones. Also have 850cc injectors ready that aren't pictured.

Just updating on the car. So far i have replaced the following:
B16G Turbo
Polished header
Head gasket and installed Arp headstuds
installed 850cc injectors
Gates Racing Timing Belt
New water pump
Carbon front brakes
metallic rear brakes
Godspeed aftermarket front sway bar
kyb struts all around.
I still need to install the 255 Wally pump, flashed 99 black box ecu, and the gauges. I am currently working on dealing with the FMIC and will hopefully have it installed this weekend. After that, B-2 Sideskirts and a front lip will be installed and she will be done until i get the paint updated. I will try to get pictures as soon as i can.
