2013 Ford Focus ST - Ordered her brand new from the Ford dealership, just got it on the road a few days ago. This is my first turbo car and I'm lovin' it :D Sold the eclipse about a week ago after owning it for over 7 years (bittersweet moment).

What do you guys think is a reasonable insurance rate on an Evo 9 for a single male, age 29 and no tickets. I'm getting quotes from my insurance company (Mercury) around $1000-1500 for six months.. seems steep :|Also what's a fair price for one? I found one at a dealership I absolutely...

So I would like to know if my isc motor is bad. It passed the test of pulling it out of the throttle body and turning the key to see it move, however when I did the resistance test on pin 5&6 it read 80 ohms :confused: all the others read 30 like they're suppose to. I know if any read 0 then...

Got my copy! :D Anybody else excited to start playing?... Damn it I wish I didn't have to work tonight

Thought this poll might be fun.What is your favorite gaming system of all time? Nintendo 64 gets my vote

I personally can't wait for Borderlands 2 :hellyeah: I'm fairly excited about Halo 4 (finally a sequel) but I am a little skeptical since the ones after Halo 3 sucked.What are you guys looking forward to?

I didn't see the fight but I saw on Yahoo news that Brock lost again last night and is calling it quits this time. I was a Brock fan but I guess I have to admit the sport just wasn't for him, he definitely was entertaining though. I bet part of this retirement may have to do with the...

When it rains for days... well the water's gotta go somewhere. I had to evacuate from my neighborhood Wednesday night and go stay at my dads. I just got back to my apartment today. Luckily the flood levels only reached a couple feet here in my neighborhood, but other places had it MUCH worse...

What is the best choice for a N/T exhaust? 420a owners may chime in as well. I want the absolute best choice for acceleration power.Choice 1 - All stock/oemThis is where I would use the original stock exhaust manifold, 2 1/4" piping, a normal catalytic converter and an oem muffler. This...

I know the awd is different for sure, but do the 1.8 the 2.0 and 2.0 fwd turbo all use the same exhaust? For instance, if I was at a scrap yard and I saw a 1.8 or 2.0 fwd turbo (I have a 2.0 n/t obviously) would I be able to use the exhaust from either one of those models?

So I went down to my local junkyard today in hopes to find a few things I needed, but of course I came up with nothing. I mentioned to my friend that there was a 1st gen 5 speed Talon down there and he told me to check it out because he needed injectors for his 93 TSi. I kept looking at it but...

The rubber part isn't in that bad of shape, I think it's the clips that are the problem, I think they're just worn out. Anyone know where you can buy them from?

I could use some recommendations on my next clutch, right now I have a Fidanza full disc sprung clutch, it's been very reliable but I've always kind of wished it grabbed a little quicker/harder.Obviously since I have a N/T I don't even need to lay one eye on a 4 puck. What would be a...

Florida is the first state that will require drug testing for those applying for welfareI think it's about time, I hope this eventually spreads to other states as well (esp. NY) and I also hope some day it becomes mandatory for unemployment pay

Does anybody know where this wire connects to and what it does?...Here's the part that's unplugged......and here's where it's connected to on the other end

So my problem is that my drivers side power window moves slow and eventually can't even go up without the assistance of my hand pulling it (had this problem for a long time now). I took it apart about a month ago and it's already getting stuck again. What I did was took the door apart, pulled...

Ok so I've come to the conclusion that my gas gauge is inaccurate (off by 1/4) because something got messed up when the previous owner installed the indiglo instrument cluster. I read through many older threads today and could not find a solution to this problem.Originally I was just going...

I want to pull out my fuel sending unit, but I need to drain the gas tank first, what's the quickest and easiest way to do this?This is for a 1G fwd n/t. I read there is a drain plug to let the fuel out, but is that only for the awd models? because I couldn't find it on mine.

So when I was coming to a stop the other day I heard a splashing noise coming from my trunk/hatch area. Well today I got a chance to investigate it and found something that just made my day...This is what I have to remove in order to get underneath, pain in the ass, it's not like removing a...

I have a company in mind I would like to drive truck for (OTR drivers make damn good money) but I just need to know what steps I have to take to get there. I'm pretty sure I know what to do, but I just wanted to get some clarification from some of you CDL holders. Are these the steps I have to...

Anybody here own this? 1990 Eclipse GSX - Fully Restored - $8000 (Carlisle) I stumbled upon this while browsing around on Craigslist, damn that's nice, wish I had the money for it.

My passenger side seat belt stopped working a while back and I cannot seem to fix it. Today I tried putting in another motor and rail, this still did not fix the problem. My fuse is good, I don't believe there are separate fuses for each seat belt, just one for both of them.Today I noticed...

So I was just curious to which of the new Mountain Dew flavors you guys think is the best. I was disappointed Super Nova didn't win the last time :( This year Typhoon has my vote :thumb:

A while back my passenger seat belt stopped working, it doesn't move AT ALL when you open the door. My drivers side works fine, anyone ever had this happen? Any suggestions?

Been a while since I posted, but my power antenna quit working. I can hear the motor running so I'm just going to assume the mast needs to be replaced. Only problem is I cannot seem to get the power antenna out of there. I unscrewed the bolt that's on the bracket part (1st pic) and I pulled...

Been a while since I've posted outside the hangout section but here's the deal... I have an alpine alarm system with remote door locks so I never use the key to unlock my doors.. So I decided to try my key out for the hell of it and this was the outcome...Drivers side lock I had to wiggle the...

Just curious to the popularity of each energy drink among dsmtuner members...

2012 Movie TrailerThis movie looks awesome

Ok I left my lights on and killed my battery yesterday and so I had to have a friend give me a jump, well when I left to go home everything got dim in the car and it just died, so my friend jumped me again, 10 seconds after we take the cables off, the car stalls and dies. My alternator is only...

As many of you might know California is not in the greatest shape financially, so Arnold Schwarzenegger is having a big Garage sale to help the state out :D DETAILS - HEREI wonder if he is gonna have someone make flyers and post 'em all over CA ROFL

I was thinking there hasn't been as many threads or replies lately, then it dawned on me, isn't this about when college starts back up?

Well I hope nobody already posted this before but here ya go Click Here - Mirror Prank I stumbled upon this today and thought it was a pretty clever prank :applause:

40 PSI BLK DSMThis guy has the best looking DSM I've ever seen, but I never see any posts by him. Anyone familiar with this DSM...

I just lost my job yesterday :( The big boss man talked to me on the phone yesterday to tell me the company lost a lot of business and they had to make cuts. Unfortunately I was one of the people they decided to let go. I worked there for over 4 years :( I wasn't expecting this and now I'm...

Thought this was kinda funny ---> PS2 outsells PS3 It's cool to have your gaming system double as a blue ray player but you gotta pay the extra $$$ and most people today want the cheaper choice in gaming

I think the new changes look great and are an improvement. If some of you don't know what I'm talking about look under your avatar when you make a post, there's more detail and new icons. Looks great guys :thumb:I think there needs to be one more small change though, when you get a pic...

I found some threads on this topic, but no visuals, boo! :notgood:So anyway what do these wires near the alternator go to? The second pic is some nipple thing on the power steering pump (I have a feeling that's where the wire closest to the camera goes) I have no idea where the green wire...

I was on a truck run in Ohio and I spotted a bright green 1Gb eclipse, it had a body kit and a FMIC it was parked at an AutoZone. Unfortunately I don't know the city, just know it was Ohio.

Simple thread, just post your age. You know you can't help but be curious to how old some of these DSMtuner members are :D ...except Lofty :p

Ok when I'm driving at, let's say 30mph or faster and then I put it in neutral my rpms shoot down to about 300rpms or lower (dropped to 0 a couple times and stalled) what could be causing this :confused:

Edit - delete this post, I think I should have posted this in the 'newbie section' sorry :coy:

I only found one thread on this but it didn't provide me with sufficient information on the subject.I know the gain isn't gonna throw me back in my seat, but I wanna know and understand how to run a GM MAF on the 2.0 NT motor. I know you need a MAF Translator (the expensive part) I can...

I was driving to pick my gf up tonight and I was coming to a stop sign and my car just stalled and won't start back up. All it does is crank really slow for a sec. I really hope I didn't hydrolock it cause I just made a cold air intake for my car and it was raining pretty heavy out, but I took...

Why are these CAS's different?

I'm going to the junk yard tomorrow and I was gonna pull off a fuel level sending unit off another 1G dsm, my only question is, Are they all the same on 2wd models? (1.8, 2.0 & 2.0T) I know it's different on the 4wd cause they're under the hatch on those models.

I thought there would have been an official "engine bay photo" thread somewhere but I couldn't find one. So anyway I got bored and decided to clean up my engine bay, it really wasn't that dirty to begin with but it still needed some wiping down. I sprayed a few things that were rusty with...

I used piping from an extra air intake I had laying around and attached it to my Injen intake. I had to cut a hole so the piping could go down to the front bumper area, and then I attached the air filter & MAF, the plug in connector just barely reached. I actually bolted the air filter to the...

I went to my local pick 'n pull and grabbed 1 rear and 2 front wiper arms (that way I could keep mine on my car in case it rained). I had a shop sand blast 'em for me and then I had a friend powdercoat them. The powdercoating came out great but it was much too flat for my taste, so I bought a...

GMAC insurance released a list of which states had the best and worst drivers 1-being the best and 51-being the worst. I lot of them tied for there number on the list. New York is worst, I live in NY :sosad: I think that's mostly due to NYC though.1 IDAHO 1 WISCONSIN 3 MONTANA 4...
