What did you do to your DSM today?

TurboLaserRS · Jun 27, 2012

Drove my car to work straight piped, exhast literally dumps under my feet right after the flex pipe. I can hear the turbo really well, and even the BOV. Damn exhaust shop flared my test pipe incorrectly, flared it to the exact outer diameter of the other pipe.

1g alts are stupid easy. Try one on a 2g or a 3S and report back.

Yes, yes are. My best time was 17 minutes on the side of the highway.

Yeah, I've done that job on the side of the highway more than once or twice haha.

Here in Miami it's hot as hell too man, my ACCU took a crap, I had to spend four days with no AC. I literally thought it was the end of the world for me. Glad It's working again!

Diagnosing an exhaust leak... easy way to do that? Run seafom from the brake booster vacuum LOL

TSIturbo91 · Jun 28, 2012

Put the motor on the stand to redo the oil pan gasket so I know it won't leak. And took pics of the internals for insurance purposes. Glad to see it looked brand new in there!

HustlerTalon · Jun 29, 2012

instead of spending $500 on a CF hood, I wrapped my dull, faded hood with with a $40 CF Di-Noc wrap. Hell, it doesn't look as bad as I originally thought it would.

Next: paint car flat white.

Took the laser to class this morning, half way there the boost gauge hose popped off the boost source, and f@$#ing scared the crap out of me! when it hit fuel cut :coy:

when i get out of class i putt the boost hose back on as tight as i can get it......... problem solved right?........ WRONG! started driving it home, tipped into boost and it spiked! after that it was running so shitty, barely holding an idle.... so i pulled into a gas station, popped the hood, as i was looking under the hood everything seemed fine... so i go to buy a pack of cigs. looked under the hood one more time and noticed the recirculating hose from the BOV to the intake popped off. i burnt myself a couple of times putting that thing back on. :mad:

. goter running better, got home pulled her into the drive way and thought to myself "why do i love this car so much if it treats me like this." :cry:

(Its a DSM thats why)!!!

Dude this reminds me of me. I have a blood ritual for my car I swear. Not on purpose either. EVERY TIME I work on my 420A, doesn't matter what I am doing, I bleed somehow.

Halfway through any repair/maintenance/etc. I will cut myself and say "Now that we've got that out of the way can you let me fix you?"

Never happens on my GSX, ever. Only on the 420A. I think its cursed LOL

TSIturbo91 · Jun 29, 2012

Rebuilt the turbo and redid the gasket for the oil pan.

honda_burner · Jun 29, 2012

Put oil and coolant in my DSM today.
My daily is like a dog because everywhere I take it, there seems to be spots of fluid left behind.

Blurred Talon · Jun 30, 2012

Pulled all the power steering crap.

Got a relatively mint set of rear/trunk plastics for my 1G. 2 hour drive each way, but well worth it! These things are hard to find not faded and beat up!

Installed my 2ga Twistie skirts on my 2gb eclipse.

TSIturbo91 · Jul 1, 2012

I am all set to pull my motor now after 5 hours of fighting bolts under my car, but hit a snag. I was racing a thunderstorm moving into the area and it wasn't raining yet. But when I saw lighting strike above me through the engine bay somewhere I had to concede defeat and packed up like Superman in a rush

squid267 · Jul 1, 2012

degreased my engine! hahah a lil TLC goes a long way.

Spanky_DSM · Jul 1, 2012
