My car has been sitting for a few years and I want to get it up and running again. My plans right now are to change the oil, drain the gas, and swap the battery. After that's done, prime the fuel pump and see what happens.Is there anything else I should do before I try and turn her over?

Yes it is

I'd like to get 300 for the hood and 400 for the hatch

Here is a link to the cl adNEW DSM CF Hood And Hatch RARE!!

I have a never installed cf hood and hatch for sale locally. The only time they have been unwrapped was to take these pictures.1g Cf hood and Hatch 90-91 - DSM ClassifiedsI believe I got them from hirev

Sounds right to me. I remember buying that back in the day. Thanks for your help!

I had this sitting in my garage and cant remember what type of mani it is.Last photo is here: http://i.imgur.com/IpmAb.jpgThanks in advance!

im debating betweeen a centerforce duel friction clutch or an act 2600 what are the pros and cons of each and what would u guys recomend

I hope my car will be up and running by then. If so then I'm in.

You can go as "guys who F*** your wife while your at work" mailman, pool guy, milk man, ups etc. or hitler...8 hitlers walking down the street would be pretty crazy

Just let me know when and im there. That place is F'in sweet

Congrats man, glad to see your cars comming along.

as long as nothing comes up you can count on me too. the talon wont be up and running but I will be

Seans car is a BEAST. what other car can you buy for that price that will putdown over 400whp on a mustang dyno, and when you run out of gas fill up on 91?

I would also liek to destroy this magical car. please let me know the new destruction date. Can we bring our own weapons?

Stinson Beach round 2!!!!!! hopefully this time I wont lose any car parts on the way home.

Well, looks like im taking the GS on this one, got the car running... for a day and it started acting up again. Now I'm pulling my motor out of frustration. Should be a fun project but i doubt i will be done by sept.

Well im glad its not for another month. My dsm died in my driveway after a spirited drive to the store and now it wont start. I'm debating if I want to even attemp to fix it or just start tearing it apart. Wish me luck:cry:

oh i've been there too. how about replacing the control unit to the powerwindows only to find out you just popped a fuse. turns out i was reading the fusebox cover sideways:D

Don't think i'm done, i got one more. I was installing my comp cams. No big deal VFAQ here i come. Well i did the install, everything looked to bein time but my car shouldnt start. if i gave it a little gas it would run but then die when i let my footoff the gas. I'm sitting there cussing...

AHHHHHH fun times. Well, I put my car back together after a turbo rebuild I was driving home and forgot to put on the oil cap..... no big deal just a huge mess of oil in an already dirty engine bay, but no oil cap to be found. Made it home, got a new oil cap and enjoyed the rent of my day...

Looks like I'll begoing to this one too. Not sure what car I'll be taking because I really wanna start installing my 2.3 but my procrastinating ass will probably not finish in time.1.)Zach(98eclipseRS) - spirited group. 2.)Justin(elfroggo) - the cool (chill) group 3.)Mahesh(MyBlack94GST) -...

Please dont make fun of my other dsm. I leave it there so nobody knows I own it, then under the darkness of night, I cruise the streets looking for new APC stickers.

seems like that would be perfect with DSMLink and a touchscreen

Rauls good old 2 step... Trying to launch in stop and go traffic. Pretty sucessful drive. Only overheated a little through the twisties. Well, that and I lod tmy coolant oveflow on the way home. I'm in SF headed tward the bay brindge and feel myself run something over. Then soem dude on...

I like these seats better than my stock ones and they fully recline. i just dont know how long they will last lol

my seats were torn to shit so i got these http://www.apexmotorsports.com/specials.html

full function in the bay area is where i would go

wouldn't it come in handy if you ever needed to tow your car too? No more waiting for flatbed.

Or 1G:thumb:

i remember reading when they first cae out that they do not come with the stops like the stock shifter. You nee dto put your old stop on the fidanza unit or risk breaking shit.

Why not sell your car and buy a 1g awd? Lower insurance rates plus awd. Then save the rest for a down payment for you supra/s2000 etc.

I have nothing but good to say about FFTec. I'm in there about once a week buying somthing and they have great customer service. I recently had them rebuild my head for my talon. Havent installed it yet but it's BEAUTIFUL.

Wow talk about bringing an old post back. Anyways, I have a meth kit and was wondering why toulene would puddle in the intake manifold more than methenol? I believe toulene has a higher octane rating than methanol so would you be able to make more power with a toulene mix as opposed to a meth...

anyone get the throttlebody on without swapping fuel rails?

Let me tell you first hand credit cards are the devil. when I was younger I racked up about 10k in car part debt, and then the car was stolen. Now I have all the debt and none of the part and its pretty ###. Be careful beause it's easy to get caught up in debt. I know it was dumb but lucky...

turns out one wire came loose from one fan so that was the problem.

just checking to see if anyone actually went. Me and a few people are heading to lemans in Fremont tomorrow if anyone wants to roll through.

If I get done teaching in time I'll roll through.

Update:I seem to have found out what the issue is. Apparently i have fuel cut defender on my maft which in turn limits airflow to 2200hz ( will confirm this tonight). With that switched off the problem was solved. Thanks for all the assistance and you guys have a happy holiday!Zack

but I would think that the regular 255 would let me flow more than 32lbs/min

you know I guess I can do that. Any idea where I can find a flow sheet for a wabrow 255 not hp?

If it's not the pump then I got a backup :thumb:. I don't think it's my fuel filter because I replaced that about a year ago. Just running out of ideas here. You think if i just bumped up the fuel pressure that would work as a bandaid till I figure this out? I'm only getting 16mpg right...

Sounds like it would be a lot less trouble to just buy a new pump.

Any way to tell if my fuel pump is faulty?

Well i get invalid file type when I try and upload it. Here is the dsmlink thread with the file inside or I can email it to you. http://www.dsmlink.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6817

I'm using dsmlink. IT shows my fuel drop off at 5900 but my idc is going up. Fuel goes from 20ms and just drops off untill redline.

Thats a good idea. Never thought of doing that. I also moved my fpr last night because the line looked slightly kinked and bypassed the fp silenoid. Neither one worked. I will try the adjustment screw test tonight hopefully and let you know how it works out. I have my doubts though because...

I checked O-ring on pump.. All good there and i'm assuming that i check the adjustment screw on the fpr by doing another boost leak test? I have an Aeromotive but mine is the -10an one that I reduced to -6
