I havent logged on since 2011 and I was just wondering... has defiant the moderator yet to return since his hiatus?

So my cars been down for 11 months, and for whatever reason is showing load under idle, and is running pig rich. The problem has remain unsolved, and with it being in a shop (Im not great at tuning, especially cars that are on speed density, e85, and have mystery problems from catching on fire)...

Allllllll of you. Especially those of you who cant search, you said you did, but we all know you didnt. And seriously guys, how many times can you answer the same question in an hour? Oh and f*ck you snowboarder, ALL youve ever done for me is close my threads, go get laid or smoke some weed or...

Alright so after a year long battle my cars ALMOST back up on the road, but I have a gremlin somewhere. I can get the car to start up and idle good, running rich, but still idling none the less. But the problem im having now is anytime I give it gas, it will try to rev up, but will cut out and...

I've had a terrible day and need to vent...So as a few of you may know, my car caught on fire 2 weeks after I built it, that was 8 months ago. Now im STILL trying to get it running, I've sunk about $3000 into shop labor, 2 new harnesses, and a vendor fvcking me over (which still isn't...

Im looking at getting a set of these for my 2g, but I can't seem to find any info on them. Does anyone have any experience with these? http://www.maperformance.com/bc-racing-br-series-coilover-kit.html

Okay so, im trying to decide which shop to take my car to for a dyno tune. I have two choices, one is FIST-racing, basicly the DSM shop of Houston. Mike the shop owner knows a DSM from top to bottom, and is very familiar with ecuflash (which im using) he has also helped me out countless times...

Yea so Im still EXTREMELY new to this whole tuning thing, and i need help with a base map. When i was on 93 octane i could get the car to crank with my foot on the gas, but i dumped in a full tank of E85 and now nothing. The car does have fuel and spark, the tune is just way off. I just need...

Will somebody PLEASE make this damn carbon fiber rear lip/diffuser/exhaust shield whatever you wanna call it. I know for a fact im not the only one who wants one, and everybody knows it looks sexy as hell. So will a freelancer, or vendor, or somebody please put these into production again.

Okay so im having a problem with my jay racing 342 fuel pump that i cannot figure out. I bench tested the fuel pump outside of the assembly and it works flawlessly, but when i put it back in the assembly is when im having my problem. You can hear the pump turn on, but no fuel comes out. There...

Its the little top hat on my fuel pump, is it still useable? :notgood:

Has any one installed one of these on there 2g dsm? Im having issues with the plug on the top of the fuel pump hitting the hanger bracket, anyone else had this problem?

Got this mirror for free from a friend so i decided to put it in LOL and I actually kinda like it. Does anyone know a good way to get the stock rear view mirror off? My cars basicly for the drag strip, but I do plan on taking it to a road course every so often.

Basically, my cars about to get tuned, but since I only have one 255 wally, ive decided just to run pump gas. So my question, how much boost am i limited to on 93 octane on an hx35?

Okay I put an auto harness in my maunal gst, the guy that redid the auto harness took off all the auto connectors, but left the manual. Im getting no power to my fuel pump or starter. Ive already tried jumping the starter and no success. If anyone that has done this swap can chime in that would...

Things needed: Strut bar brace Engine damper (i bought a universal one) Battery relocation VRSF kit (maybe)Basically, you take the bracket that bolts to the strut tower off the strut bar (as seen in picture 1) , put a spacer or washers inbetween the damper and the strut bracket...

Theres alot of threads out there that share experiences with cops, ricers, dumb people, ect. but nothing for just random crazy experiences, so i figured ide start one.So last night im driving the mazda 3 rental i have, and after the tobacco pipe was cashed, me and 2 other friends are driving...

Okay so i went to put on my radiator and fans today, and the ac fan is about a quarter of an inch away from the turbo, it almost touches.Is this safe? Should i just use a pusher fan insead?

Anyone have pictures of these wheels on their car? Im looking at buying some but i want to see them on a dsm before i buy them.

Just in case some of you didnt know haha Congrats dude! :thumb:

Just noticed this. Congrats bro :thumb:

Trying to figure this out, and just double checking before i buy everything. Also i couldn't find a thread on what exactly is needed, so i made a new thread.I need: EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - Gm Air Temp SensorEXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock...

Does anyone hate them as much as i do?

As some of you may know my car recently caught on fire, and the insurance company decided to total it. They said to get all the receipts "if i even could" and mail it in. So i collected about $5000 worth of receipts and mailed it in, figuring they at least add $500 to the check. Well they didnt...

Ive figured it out once before, but this time i cant figure it out for the life of me. Do i open http://ceddy.us/wp-content/uploads/CeddyMods_1v9Cb.rar in jzip, or do i save it to my computer or what do i do? Im so lost, if someone could give me steps on how to do this it would be greatly...

Ive been looking at the Weapon R smim, its looks super clean, wondering if anyones used it?Weapon-RAlso Weapon R bitches are hot.

Okay so since my car caught on fire and im bringing it back, ive been thinking about doing a frankenstein themed engine bay.Something like green intake filter, with a purple valve cover, and a green or polished spark plug cover. What do you guys think, has anyone done this and have pictures...

I tried searching and didn't learn much. I'm doing a research paper over the history of dsms.Things like when they were first recognized as a bamf car who was the first to have a badass fast dsm who is the fastest with different types of turbos anything i could include in a paper about...

So i got the car back about a month a go, running pretty good, needed a tune badly though. I was saving up to buy a laptop and use ecuflash, but my car decided to go up in flames due to a faulty radiator fan. (will post pictures up in a little)So while im waiting for the insurance check, ive...

Wondering if anyones seen this. I know there has been quite a debate over whether this was possible or not, so now if anyone asks, here it is.I searched to see if this was a repost but didnt find anything.How to cut boost on a 1JZ - Supraforums.comAnd for the people who arent members...

After 3 months of the car being down, ive finally been able to drive it. Been driving it for about 2 weeks now, got rid of all leaks coolant, oil, boost ect. Just saving up money for a tune. Well tonight my friend asked for a ride so i gladly took him. Did i nice 3rd gear pull and my IC piping...

Ive always been a fan of these, and now that i have a decent job ive been thinking of getting one and leaving the dsm alone for a while. So what do you guys think, sc300 with a 2jzge or a sc400 with a 290 hp v8.I would boost it definatley, but which is the better platform?

Just installed my new 2.3l motor and around 5500 rpms it kinda feels like it hit a governor, it will continue to climb but very slowly from 5500-7000 rpms. I hit 17-18 psi at about 3800 rpm, and creeps to about 20-21 at 7000 rpms. Im running the same tune i had before the motor got built as...

So I think i finally got the car in good shape, no leaks, electrical problems, loose nuts bolts ect. Ive driven it for about a good 80 miles breaking in the motor, so i think to myself, ehhh time for a nice 3rd gear pull on a county road, why not. So i down shift to 3rd and rev to about 6k and...

I find that there seems to be alot of confusion when it comes to people choosing spark plugs, and weather to go with BPR7ES, BPR8ES, or BPR9ES.So people who are running these plugs, post which plugs your running, and your current setup :thumb:

So my cars been sitting for the past month while the engine gets built, and yesterday when i opened up the car, theres fkucing mildew on the steering wheel, door panels, and my bride seats. So how do i make it stop?! This is gross/ridiculous.

Ive been looking for a writeup on the installation of a lsd block but the only link i found doesnt exist anymore. Can anyone help my out?And yes i know the risks of putting in a lsd insert, and yes i know i should go with a true lsd but im not.
