Amazing machine you have there. My goal was always mid-11's on a streetable setup. You took that to a whole new level. Glad to see guy's running these crazy times and still taking their cars out on the street to have some fun with and show off :) Keep up the good work.

Think about it like this. If you had a perfectly working trans, clutch etc. and you released the clutch w/o giving it gas, what would happen? As you release the clutch the rpm's will drop and the car will attempt to die. This is essentially what seems to be happening. A lot of times, at least...

You can run a stock intercooler on a 16g or even a 20g for that matter. The issue with the intercooler is going to be heat soak. If you are doing long or multiple hard pulls you will overwhelm the intercooler very quickly with a stock core. If you plan on autocrossing the car a stock intercooler...

I think you are on the right path. It sounds to me like a TOB issue. Have you tried adjusting the clutch at all to see if you can get it to stop acting up? I would start with an adjustment to see if you can remedy it and go from there. If the adjustment does not fix it than I suspect it to be an...

Make sure to do a full tune-up and check the condition of the motor before doing anything. This will save you ton's of money down the road. These cars are very picky about how they're taken care of. Take care of it and it'll take care of you.As far as turbo selection goes, you are probably...

Welcome to the forums and to the DSM world. Add lots of boost, lots of tuning and enjoy the ride ;)

The easiest way isnt the cheapest way but it would be done right and you would have an array of choices. That is taking it to an upholstery shop to be done. If you intend to do it yourself you have a couple of choices but expect to put some elbow grease into it and waste a few bucks. You can buy...

My best advice to you after over a decade of dealing with these cars is to continue reading. I've had many DSM's and done some very stupid things and spent ridiculous amounts of money on things that could all have been prevented with some knowledge. These car's respond well to TLC but without it...

Do you have a catch can installed on the car?

If you are only looking for @ or under 400 just do an OE rebuild. I'm sure you could have a machine shop hone your block and install everything for the short block. For 1500 you could seriously buy a set of aftermarket rods/pistons that could handle a ton more power, you just dont need it. Spend...

Congratulations on the car, it looks nice. It sounds like you are headed in the right direction and know to fix/repair/check all standard components before you start to upgrade and break things. I have personally been into DSM's for about 14 years and made the mistake of buying my first one and...

NAWZ STICKERS YO!

Honestly I just went through this problem with my car and am actually putting it all back together Teusday. The problem is most likely the adjustment man, I cant express that enough. I fiddled and fiddled with it and couldnt get it to work, figured it was something in the trans or clutch. My car...

I would have to say thats not that great of a deal. Ive owned and bought dsm's since 1998 when I bought my first Talon. Every since then Ive kind of learned to look for deals a little differently. You'd be suprised where you can come across a cheap car.Ive seen GST's that are newer with...

Keep It!

Given transportation is one of the leading causes of pollution, there are other areas that changes can be made without having such an impact on people. Id personally like to see more public transportation in areas that dont utilize it so much i.e. California.I dont think something like this...

Yeah, I would say just wait to get a turbo 2g. If you look around you can get some really good deals. I just picked up a 99 GST in excellent aesthetic condition, motor runs strong, it just needed a clutch and timing job. The car is registered and has brand new rims tires on it and I picked it up...

Thanks Morphius. Now that I think about it when I was bleeding the system I wasnt able to push the MC rod into the body w/o opening the bleeder valve. This theory as to what went wrong is making more sense then any so far. Do you think that that clutch disk is still useable? I have another disk...

Yea fork and TOB are both brand new along with the fulcrum ball. Essentially everything in the trans / clutch is new including a freshyl rebuilt trans w/ LSD.

This is one thing Ive always been jealous about w/ the Honda guys. They can clean up their engine bays very nicely. My bud has a really clean Integra that had a wire tuck done. He had the battery moved down to inside the bumper, in front of the tire on the passenger side and a few misc. things...

Nothings a bad idea if you have the proper tuning to go with it. If you have no way of monitoring or changing A/F ratios and the sort its definetly a BAD idea. Now on the other hand if you do, just make sure your tune is right and you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Ive had 100 shot...

I did quite a bit of research on this myself before deciding to do it or not. The conclusion that I came to is that if your running a car with over 4-500 hp it's probably not a good choice. There are a couple of threads on here in regards the the inserts that you might find useful.All in...

I tried and tried to adjust this thing and even followed the steps on jackstransmissions youtube vid that someone posted. I contacted SBR and Mike got back to me very promptly and is wondering if its the flywheel step height. I didnt check this as I stated above and Ill be taking it down to the...

Id double check all the vaccum lines and boost lines etc. Make sure they are connected and even do a leak down test if possible. Sounds to me like its something simple like a vaccum line or the sort. Check for cracks in the lines too as simple as that may sound, some people look to see its...

OK so took the trans out and this is what I found! I can see why the car was making noise when I tried to put it in gear. This is a brand new clutch disk and PP from SBR (3500). Im going to be emailing SBR also to see if they have any input. I dont know if the PP is faulty or what. Take a look...

I say buy the muffler you like and go to your local exhaust shop and have them put together a mandrel 3" system for half the price!

Im no expert on paint but that looks a lot like the color of my Nissan Titan... Wasnt even listed as a green though for some weird reason.. It was like Deep Ocean Blue or some crap... I had black 24" Incubus Paranormals on it and it looked sick. I like the dark green w/ black rims. Thinking...

I think its going to rely mainly on the driver in that situation. Neither of the cars are much faster / slower then the other, at least not enough to make up for a crappy driver.

I unfortunately am leaning more and more towards the flywheel itself. Seeing as thats the only thing really I didnt change and the same problem persists it is almost at this point the verdict. Im going to pull the trans again and go have it checked and resurfaced and see how that fairs. Ill keep...

I have read through that entire thread and although some of the issues people are having are similiar they are not absolutely alike. I didnt see anyone mentioning the fact that when the car is actually moving, that it shifts fine through every gear. Until recently it was making no noises but now...

Guess I should have mentioned what I replaced and what not. I replaced the TOB and fork with Mitsubishi OEM stuff. The slave and master were AutoZone parts which I've been hearing bad things about but I did switch back to the old parts after realizing I had the same problem to try and weigh out...

So I recently picked up a new DSM (99 GS-T) for a good deal. The only issue with the car was the owner had the clutch replaced appx. 2 years ago and the car was having issues going into gear sometimes. I picked up the car knowing that I had a brand new SBR 3500 and a freshly rebuilt tranny with...

There are a few of us that play together now (CoD4).. We should get a few more and discuss a clan tag and own some people!

Car looks clean, I like the sleek black on black look.What's up with the soft IC pipes?

GermanSensation^^^ I'll take those CoD4 Challenges!

Sorry Eagles fans! The Cowboy's are not the Rams. Sorry D. McNabb for having to watch your old reciever score 2 TD's on your team. Sorry Andy Reid for being a Cholesterol loving coach.All in all a good game though. I just had to talk crap..it is the Eagles, right?Both teams offenses are...

well D-Mac did'nt do too bad, considering!Raider's looked horrible and I think they need to fire their D Coordinator! He's horrible. I love football but by no means should I be disagreeing with the call of a "professional" coach! I mean overall some of the key players showed they CAN play...

So Cowboys are 1-0 ; Romo passed for a buttload of yards 320'ish and our new RB looks SWEEEEEEETT!Not so sure how good the Pat's will do now w/o Brady..just got word he's out for the season from his knee injury yesterday.

As far as NCAA goes... USC Trojan's FTW!!!!!Eagles cant win their division...Cowboys are in it :)As far as the Pat's go... I dont think it's gonna happen, their glory days are over!

Something about the 97-98 Talon front bumper that I love... I will never let mine go-- no body kit needed!

I'm an avid football fan and have been since around 89' when Emmit Smith played for the Cowboys. Every year me and my friends do a poll on who's going to win the most games, who's going to the super bowl, first defense / offense and who will score the most points througout regular season.I...

IMO if the dog snaps like that I would grab it's head and hold it down the the ground! Not violently or abusively, just to let the dog know. I have dealt with many breeds , sizes, etc. of dogs and one thing I have learned is you have to show dominance. You can get dogs to do just about anything...

Im not as fortunate to have all the Holidays of a Government Worker. So, I signed the petition:thumb:Besides, who couldnt use another day to relax and drink a nice cold brew? I know I could.

Are those TE-37's??? I never thought a set of Volk's could look so god damned good on that car. Everyone uses BBS wheels with a deep dish style type of look.

AHHH! it's N/A im sorry. I should have payed more attention. Im not savvy in that aspect of our cars. Im sure you can still pick up a cheap motor from an engine yard and rebuild it though. If it's a clean car your still getting away cheap IMO.

I literally cried after reading this. I could not stop laughing for at least 5 minutes. Im not taking sides but god almighty that was hilarious!!!!!!!!!Im going to use some of my World of Warcraft terminology on this one..You got PWNED!!:tease:

I dont think it's so much the fact of people doing drugs in their house thats bad. It's the process that it taken to get the drugs to that point that is the issue at hand. I DO NOT agree that all drugs should be leagalized. I dont do any drugs personally but have experimented in the past...

Fitment would be an issue on your side, I agree. Im not big on words or letters with my ink but If i had to make a choice Id definetly say back for multiple reasons.

For that price, look for a used motor get it rebuilt and walaa.
