Sup guys. Hows life in the DSM world?I just picked up a 2004 Evo 8 GSR to part out. Good news is, I got it running and driving within a day of wrench time. Bad news is, the body is too far gone to be worth it. Let me know if there's anything you want as I'm going to start a tear down this...

I'm thinking of taking a break from the DSM game for a while. I don't have time to keep up with my GSX and I rarely even get to drive it anymore. I could do more with the money I got from selling it, in other areas of my life. So I think that this might be the best route for me to go. I've...

I suppose I have a knack for picking up, fixing and enjoying obscure little cars as evidenced by my 89 Chrysler Conquest, 87 Suzuki Samurai and possibly soon to be 83 Subaru Brat.The Brat is a new ballgame entirely for me. The flat 4 engine, awd, and ability to pick up/haul parts while...

I am looking at getting a beater commuter car and found a good deal. Only thing is, its plates were stolen, and I'm not sure of how much of a pain in the ass it will be to transfer it into my name or get it registered without them. I know you can apply for new plates when you are the registered...

Need advice real quick... I was installing new lca's and one of the boots got stretched a bit and started a small rip. Would it be safe to seal it with some high temp rtv, and then after it's dry, coat it with a fresh layer of bearing grease to keep it sealed from the elements and clean inside...

I placed an order for an oem axle from mitsubishiparts.com last friday. I got an email today saying that they can't order that part from Mitsubishi anymore. I'm assuming that means that anyone who tries to order one can't get a hold of one now?I really wanted to go oem on a part as integral...

Bad ball joints that fail on you are no fun.*In researching I found out that there was a recall on some eclipse ball joint assemblies. Anybody know how to approach Mitsubishi about servicing an old recall such as this one?

*Update* My ball joints had ripped boots that allowed dirt to clog them up, disallowing them to move freely and return the steering wheel to center. It's a factory recall and I believe that this problem was a symptom of it, but I was too slow to catch it. The results of the ball joint failure...

I don't have the R&D funds necessary to do this currently, but my question is this:Can someone install a 5th fuel injector into the downpipe of their car in order to give the exhaust gas more fuel to burn and create a jet engine type of afterburner effect? I wouldn't be doing this to spit...

Hi again. I've recently been toying around with my MBC to try and find a sweet spot for daily driving. First I cranked it up all the way just for kicks and got fuel cut. Obviously that was a no go, so I've been dialing it back slowly until I get no more fuel cut. Thing is, I have eliminated the...
