I am officially setting this up to get more DSMers (including myself) motivated and ready for this season, weather it be to just plain get off the couch, or get that POS off of the jackstands. Quite a few DSM's will already be at IFO (Import Face Off) March 17th at Capitol Raceway competing in...
Just wanted to put it out there and also see if anyone is going to be attending/racing at IFO (import face off) this weekend? Myself and a few buddies are going to be in the FIS class and are trying to wax some turbo Honda's..Anybody going? It's at Capitol Raceway in Crofton, MD. They have...
OK this is puzzling me a little and could use some advice. I've built this car from inside out but don't have experience with our tranny's as of yet. This is a built Shep 4 btw.. I knew this was bound to happen but was hoping it would get me through a season or two. Can't afford a dogbox or I'd...
I'm willing to drive a good distance to pick these up and hoping I can get them both from the same car, but if not that's fine also..I need a 1ga front bumper cover uncut and without tab damage. I also need a 1ga rear hatch in good condition.Paint is NOT an issue and can be any color...
First some history....I recently dropped in a completely rebuilt motor consisting of a Eagle/Wiseco, CB head, Kelford 280's, HTA3586, JMF Drag, ETS 4", Kiggly's, ect.. After 50 miles the oil cooler contacted ground and the number 4 rod siezed to the crank. :cry: It took me a lot of time and...
Here is the rundown.....this may be a little long..I gathered parts for two years to finally get the car up and running about a month ago. I was planning on going a little more stout on the bottom end, but chose to use a already assembled new JAM Eagle/Wiseco shortblock I had laying around. I...
I picked up another built block (Pauter/Wiseco) recently and It is oring'd. This is a .040 over block with copper oring's installed. This is my first run with oring's. I have researched and found that I am going to need to get my block re ringed because of the copper being soft. I've gathered...
We have a crew of people going to the shootout. We have some extra room for a few people if some of you guys are worried about your car making it, or the cost of gas. We have the entire back row of a 2009/2010 duramax, which is basically has as much leg room as an excursion. Plenty of leg room...

I'm trying to see who uses this piece instead of the BS sprocket we usually just throw back on the crank. I would think this would be better as it will save a little rotating mass. This does take place of the sprocket behind the trigger plate correct? What about the trigger plate? Does this get...
Quick question. Do 1G guys have clearance issues with fittings welded to the top of the valve cover? I have heard 2G guys do, but how about us 1G guys?
I need some people to share our experience with the FIC easytune, particularly with the BM 1650'S. I know this is a discontinued product probably due in part to the popularity in the 2150's. I have a big build going on and have a set of BM1650's to use with my dual 044 HTA3586 setup. I would...
Hey people. I got a complete build going on and in the process of cleaning up everything, and getting ready for the motor drop, I kinda got a little carried away with my new wiring/ harness relocation. I've done my research, found some very valuable sites for us 1g guys, but I can't seem to find...
Hey..Im new to the area and need a little help. Im building a 1G and before I can finish, the county is requiring I register the car, inspect, and get emissions on it. Is there anyone in the DC/VA/MD area that has a 1G AWD Manual stock DP/w cat that you have laying around still? I am looking for...
I need some help guys..Im rather confused at this point. Im currently neck deep in my build, and Im to the point where nothing is good enough and I am ready to just give it all up. I get set on one thing and then think twice down the road. :ohdamn:So..the point at hand, I have a fresh FP3065...
I need a motor for my 1G and instead of building my own, I have a friend that is selling his brand new short block he was going to put in his GSX. He has since sold the car and I asked him to sell it to me. It is from Jackson Auto Machine shop (JAM) . It is the 400+hp stage 1 and its still in...
I just purchased a 1g head that has extensive porting and polishing done but the only thing that is wrong is that it is missing 1 cam cap. The rest of the caps are from the original head and are all there. I unfortunetly made the rookie mistake of purchaseing something before doing as much...
Whats up people...I posted about a couple days ago about my 91 GSX I bought recently...and felt it would be better to drop a video for you all to look at. This might be better for me and maybe I can get some help. Please check it out..YouTube - 91 ECLIPSE GSX...Strange tapping...
Hello people..As you can see Im new to the forum, and new to DSM's as well.Finally after years of WANT, I finally GOT. Its a 91 gsx . I guess I wanted to ask a few questions about my situation. I tried to research on some but I feel like I have a bit of a unique situation with multiple...
