What he said. ^^^(I've been subscribed to this one for years...)

Been at least a year since I've been out, but everyone used to meet at In-n-Out off I-10 and Ray Road on the second Thursday of every month.Haven't had a DSM or GVR4 in years, but I've been known to show up in the Pajero once in a while. Not sure if it's still happening.Also interesting...

Linked here from GalantVR4.org. Probably my first post on Tuners in months.I wanted to publicly thank you for taking the time to do this. Back in the day, DSMers were known for turning a few bits and pieces into world class performances. I don't deign count myself among those OGs, as I...

It's been a loooong time, but the AFX ECU basically works by modifying a single variable which then scales everything else. Think about your LTFTs, mate. My fully built 2GNT would barely idle those first couple-three times I started it after a reset. STFT & LTFT aren't manually set a la flash...

Very nice!With the sale of my caged GVR4 pending, it looks like I'm not going to have much high speed fun on dirt for a while. I'm content, however, to see more Mitsubishis leaving the tarmac behind for sport. Can't let the farty-blues take over!PS: Used to live in El Paso, too. Van...

What a cool story. Linked by a friend. (Haven't been around here in ages.)Shame I didn't hear about your tire situation sooner. We've got something like 40 used rally tires in the shop up here in Phoenix. Lots of 1G DSM stuff we're never going to use either (3 GVR4s and a Mirage/EvoIII...

You bring up an interesting point and something I've never seen anyone in the 2GNT community pull off. You know how all the drag race 2GNTers swap out the 3.9x final drive for the 3.55 out of the Neon so they can trap the quarter in third? well, if memory serves, there was a 1.8L PT Cruiser...

It's gonna be like that, is it? Fine. Evo III 16G was suggested for better response, room to grow, and cachet. You want to run it on a 420A you - OMG! - get a manifold built for it. Don't want to invest in a little fabrication that sets your car apart from the crowd? Fine. Find something that...

Hard to program? I'd say no. Haven't done it, personally. I know it seems daunting, though, because the install is relatively complicated, and the car is un-driveable until you get it right. If you can install software on your computer or root a cell phone or burn a CD, you can figure it out...

I don't get over here very much anymore and, if you've had Bullett in here troubleshooting, I don't know how much more help I can be, but I'll give it a shot.A) Doesn't matter how built your all-motor 10.5:1CR 420A is. Unless you've had a wideband on it and confirmed you need more fuel, you...

Best piece of advice in this thread so far:Be honest with yourself, too. Don't fall victim to the groupthink that's been slowly chipping away at the reputation built by the OGs twenty years ago. Used to be DSMers would figure things out, make a few calculated adjustments, and run 10s on...

Been a while, but the story went live recently, if anyone was curious to see how other DSMers answered this question..link

So road race all the way, then. Which would be better for a road race DSM, then - RWD LSX power or AWD 4G63/4B11 power?Oof da! Had the tab open so long before replying, I missed the last two replies. I like Pat's idea. 10-second ETs, 200mph LSR, and 1+ lateral g sounds like a real badass, but...

Now we're talking. Why would you go LSX/RWD? What would that add to the DSM? What would we lose? And do you think it could still be considered a DSM if it were GM-powered?This is cool stuff. Keep 'em coming!

Still isn't a 1G. As a fellow DSMer with respect and admiration for the original DSM, I know what you mean, but I've also posted this elsewhere and wanted to see how the build ideas would differ, given the same chassis. If we're all talking 2G chassis, we can see how the tech changes underneath...
