It's all about preference and budget. I chose the 2g for my first DSM because I've always wanted one and love the body style. You may be able to afford 2g but want a 1g out of preference. Reliability, I would look for one as stock as possible with little as owners.

Okay I'd like to check the injectors to be sure but I don't want to have to remove a lot. I appreciate the advise here, do you think the hi and low settings are decent enough to work for now? I will adjust the throttle point too.

Yes I know it's bad, I'm in a tough spot right now though and don't have the proper time to get the car to 100% so I just need it to run healthy for simple driving for a few days. Injectors I believe are 600cc or 800cc. I know the car maxed at 444whp before and was driving on 327 daily with no...

I have an issue that needs fixed asap so I can drive the car around feeling better. My car was tuned with the Apexi SAFC and AVCR and that was reset so it is on stock 2g auto gsx tune. I have a frank 4 20g turbo, upgraded just about everything and the car drives as if it's getting too much fuel...

Recently my car stopped running, replaced the plugs and it starts up but keeps shutting off. I realized this could be due to my tune being reset with the SAFC and having larger injectors. I have a 99 auto gsx with a frank 4 20g turbo. Not much is stock on the car if anything.While driving I...

Definitely need to get my hands on a jack. I appreciate the help guys hopefully this will solve my no start issue.

I am in the process of removing and replacing my fuel pump and I can't seem to figure out the best way to remove the middle line on the top of the fuel pump. It's the one with the inverted flare. Not completely sure what the line is called, but this is the only one I am having trouble with. I...

Okay the pump has arrived and I have the jist of installing it, I just haven't had a proper opportunity.. I've been ripping out unnecesarry wires for the amps and subs but then I found a leak up front. Turns out my radiator hose is leaking, the rubber seal is beat. Where's the cheapest place I...

Looks like shit, no reason to ever do this. Let alone to a performance car.

I went with the walbro 255 hp, $95 with kit and got an oem oil filter for when I do the oil. $115 2 day shipping from Extreme PSI, not bad at all now to play the waiting game.

I've already removed the rear seats for cleaning purposes and I found where the pump goes to. I'm pretty sure it's not stock, I'll take a picture of what I find. My only question was - is the walbro worth the extra money when I will probably be upgrading again down the road at some point. I...

Had my brother turn the car on and listened in the gas tank, nothing so I was on the right track. Now is there a way to tell (with limited tools) which is the bad part in there? I am ready to pull the trigger on a walbro 255 but need to be sure it's the pump.

Yes I should have added a fuel stabilizer, that is my fault and as soon as I can get it running I will get fresh gas or bring it to the car.Fuel pump noise like a clicking? I know it made a noise in my evo that I remember, but this car has more electronics and they can cover up other noises...

I tried the dry gas and no difference there. 20w50 seems a little extreme or maybe it's just me?What's the best way to check fuel pressure with limited tools/knowledge? I kind of have a feeling it may be the fuel pump. If not I have new plugs and can check that.

My 99 GSX sat with a dead battery for about 3-4 months. I got a new one and it started up first try. Then yesterday I drove it down the road and back and it shut off a few times on the hill I was going up. Today I went to get in and the car just keeps cranking but no start. I have three lights...

Doesn't look bad, what might look better is throwing on a silver lip? Just a thought. Oh and a big old front mount

You're not alone I failed inspection for a number of idiotic things that truly do not matter, such as a passenger wiper blade, blue bulbs that light up white, etc. Since it was only one thing that stopped you, maybe you could find someone else that would pass. I would just be upfront and ask...

Seems to be a boost leak, although it could deal with some other things. Do the test and see if you find anything. How are you boosting gradually or instantly?

This. I'd also find out if the tester was accurate. Sounds like the car does have issue(s) though from what you said, try again and come back with the results

Pretty good video, would be nice to see more like this, maybe even with multiple dsms

Ebay is always a good place to look if you want to be cost efficient. If price is of no concern though, I'd pick a thermal or greddy. I have a thermal r&d and I love the way it sounds.

White is always a safe choice. Gunmetal would also look nice though

I'd only pick either up after hearing a few reviews on overall fitment, quality, and customer service. It's hard to throw $800 at something that's never been tested before..

Looks iffy but it's all about what you like. If you redo it try a different scheme with maybe different shades of red.

I like the stock rims a lot but maybe in a different color.

It does have the bar, they said the internal front bumper was cut in half and I didn't see this only the radiator support was cut a little for the front mount... And I've looked for days to try and find an inspector, they're all dicks about it.

No it was straight metal on metal. I just undid the bulb in there and replaced it with an amber bulb. I only replaced the parking bulbs.. The harness is stock I believe it's just the headlights aren't. I can get a picture of the housing later.I may just sell the car to get out from the...

Wow don't know what I'd do without you! :thumb: I've went ahead and ordered a backup assembly, lens and bulb for $36 altogether. I'm going to have a spot put in the rear for it because I want the stock bumpers eventually if I keep the car anyway.I think I will just use the apexi temporarily...

The car starts and idles fine, I just haven't drove it because I don't want to just go putting stress on it if this occurred and it thinks it's stock. If I sold I'd have to get pay off and there wouldn't be any starting over :/

In my most recent thread I was trying to fix things to pass inspection. Upon taking the battery off to cut the halos wires for the headlight the allen key touched metal while it was on the positive terminal and the negative was still hooked up.. (yes dumb I know now to disconnect ground first)...

Need some advice asap, so far I've gathered that if the tune reset I would need to change out the injectors...

^Awesome that is perfect. The problem is I don't see any white at all in the reverse lights now.. I don't know if the stock tails have white reverse in there ..? Any confirmation on this would be awesome (Once again I have a molded rear end which doesn't have the spots for the middle reverse...

Yes, I understand. I just hope the wiring is still there. I'm going to try and find a wiring diagram or at least a picture for what to look for. Then hopefully I will be able to get my inspection and tags.Sure there is, just do something for it then take it back off. The rear bumper would...

Yes there is hope! Okay thank you, but is there a wiring diagram somewhere I can look at? I want this done once and done right.

I live in the oh so wonderful state of Maryland and the inspections here are ridiculously stupid about some things. I thought my rear pads and service engine light wouldn't pass when I had my gsx inspected recently but this was not the case. They did however complain about a bunch of other stuff...

Thanks for the input all, as far as diagnosing these I want to get them fixed right the first time. What exactly would I do to check for the exhaust leak? And the transmission is an auto. What I have noticed if it it's first start up and I put it in reverse the car kind of jumps into it, idk if...

I have a 99 GSX and the check engine light was on. I went and got a code reader from advanced auto parts & it came back with 6 codes, being 3 codes two times. These were the codes:P0170 - Fuel Trim P0400 - Exhaust Gas P1600 - UnknownI erased them, the light went off then I went to...

I was thinking about going reverse and getting a wing, regardless pandas are sexy and yours is no exception sir.

Best color hands down, when I was looking for a dsm I knew it had to be white. Awesome build thread, you will have a bad ride when you're done.

Yeah it sleeps in a garage so the possibility of it being water is highly unlikely, but it seems with each start up the squeak lessens, so I will probably just see how it is in a week or two before I go replacing things.I still don't even have tags yet, need to get it inspected (maryland...

Sweet evo, very jealous I've always wanted an older evo but living in the States.. eh.

This would definitely be cool for plain tails and turn signals, the rest would only be used to show off parked. I'm sure someone with the know how could also make some change off doing this too.

Well yes he was ignorant mechanical wise, good guy overall he helped with the towing of the car, and even offered me a full refund when most would of said "good luck". Overall he dumped lots of money into the car but really didn't know how to do anything himself.That being said the alternator...

I jumped on it like a wild tiger as soon as I saw it, there are things that I will definitely be changing up on it. My primary goal eventually is to have it in a newsstand import magazine. The hood is carbon the white was painted on. The bay consists of a fully built engine with a frank 4 turbo...

Yeah I plan on holding onto this car for as long as possible. Yes they are, powdercoated white wrapped in new toyos haha

I paid 9 for her and yes I've been getting that a lot. I have mixed opinions, it's unique but I also like the stock look a lot too..

Well I had been wanting to get back into another evo badly but I couldn't find the perfect 8 or 9 for the right price and I didn't want the high payment of a new X. So I searched and searched for one of the first cars I ever wanted, a 2g GSX. Finally I found a very clean one for a great deal and...

Will be seeing drastic change in the future.

Sweet pics, this makes me sad I previously owned a black evo 8 and just recently purchased a white gsx lol I knew that would be a good combo.

Definitely PS1 just due to it being my first system and the awesome library of games.
