So I've been having an issue with getting locked out of all gears lately. When it first started, i was able to have a friend push the car from behind slightly while i was sitting inside attempting to engage 1st gear and after a small roll, it would go right in. Then eventually that wouldn't work...
So basically, when i go to drive my car, it wont let me go into gear. I can have a friend roll the car forward slightly while im pushing the clutch in and then it will go into gear. Once im driving, it shifts perfecty fine. Goes into every gear. Its only when the car has sat and then i go to...
So im about to order some Gsc s1 cams and curious which valve spring set would be a better choice. Im between the Gsc valve springs/titanium retainers and the Kiggly (steel street) set. The car is a street car on an fp green hta stock internals currently. Ive heard good things about Kiggly and...
Just curious if anyone has ever thought of a way to possibly fabricate a way to fit wider tires on a 2g on the inside instead of having to run fender flares. Im sure it wouldn't be easy but i just think all the time how nice it would be to be able to fit a 255 or 265 tires without having them...
Recently my car has been smoking under wot and more recently started breaking up under WOT. Seems to be running lean. I checked the plugs and they look slightly light greyish on the tips. I had the car professonally tuned by brad brooks last year and it was running great until now all the...
Ok, so ive been having an issue with my GSX ever since i got the car dyno tuned about 6 months ago. The night it was tuned, i was driving on the highway and i blew my intercooler pipe off the turbo, which caused the car to buck and shut off obviously.I fixed the pipe and went to start it and...
So has anyone been running a fp green hta on either of these cams that has regretted not getting the opposite cam? Im on a stock motor running 22psi on 93 pump and cant decide if the s1's will leave me wanting more or if the s2's are too large for a Green? Or im open to other cam suggestions to...
Anyone know where i can purchase one of the little rubber caps that covers the bolt that holds the wiper arm to the car on a 2g? I cant find them anywhere
where can i find a true 3 inch downpipe for a 97 gsx? Punishment makes them but is sold out for 3-4 weeks. The apexi brand doesnt seem to be a full 3 inches. And ive heard mixed reviews about megan racing products. Anybody know who else may sell one?
So I just received my brand new ball bearing green hta turbo from forced performance. When I spin the fins with my finger it only spins for a second or two. Is this normal for a bb turbo? I wasn't sure if it needed to be broken in more to see a more free spin. Whenever I see ball bearing turbos...
So just wondering if anyone has any input on the 5558 dual bb turbo? Been pretty set on a green hta but now considering the 5558. Looking for info on spool diferences and what would be bettet for 400whp on 93 pump?
So I was driving down highway. All the sudden car shudders and slows way down and won't drive. Started it back up, motor is fine. But when I put into gear, dosent wanna move. Leaking green oily liquid underneath on passenger side. Jacked it up and in neutral I can turn passenger wheel with my...
So recently ive been trying to learn about map sensors. I believe i still have the factory one as well as the factory maf. I was wondering if i need to upgrade to one of these omni mitsubishi 3 bar or 4 bar plug and play map sensors for my car to run smooth? I currently have a 16g and will be...
So i currently have a hahn 16g. If i am correct, it is a td05 housing and has a 10cm hotside. Not sure what the flow rate is for it.Now im considering upgrading to the new 71 hta which is also tdo5 and 8cm hotside, flowing at 51lbs/min.Would this be a big upgrade or not worth it? Im...
So i know this is a noob question but im just wondering why when i turn up my hallman boost controller, then take the car for a pull, its not any faster? ive tried turning it once, twice, and three turns. Feels about the same. Boost gauge reads the same as well.Boost controller is hooked up...
So i removed my egr, evap, and fuel pressure solenoids near the firewall. Now im wondering if i am correct in that i need to block off P E and A on the intake manifold. And also, what about the curved hard pipes that run down behind the intake manifold? do they need to be blocked or just...
So my car is throwing a 0443 code with is the purge valve system. Im wondering if this could be caused by the fact I have no rear o2 sensor hooked up any more? Also I have alot of pressure when removing the gas tank cap to fill up. Do I need to replace a purge valve or something? Or block off my...

So id like to get some reclinable racing seats for my 2g dsm. (Sparco,Corabeu, status, Bride) but i keep hearing that they give you less head room. I am 6'5" and am pretty snug as it is with the oem seats. Is there any hope for me getting racing seats or should i just get my oem's refinished?
So i was looking at getting an FP race manifold for my 16g. Now i see this DN performance tubular manifold and it looks sick! But not sure what the quality of these are. Is the DN just as good as the FP manifold? is it worth the looks?
Just wondering is there anywhere to still buy brand new oem factory floor mats anymore? Looking for grey mats that are new or practically new. Not looking for an off brand.
Looking for a reputable shop to install a new southbend clutch and act flywheel on my gsx. I live in Easton Md. Can i just go to a basic transmission place or should i use a speed shop? Any suggestions? i want it adjusted properly and shifting smooth.
So my clutch finally started slipping in 5th so time for an upgrade. I was thinking a southbend tz clutch kit with oem tob and act streetlite flywheel. Does that sound good for a 16g car possiblyan fp green in the future?

So one of my windshield wiper arms had some peeling in the paint. I replaced it with a new wiper arm from Ebay by the brand Dorman. I thought this replacement would be fine, and after only 6 months, the arm is completely faded. It has no shine at all, looks like black primer. Has anyone had this...
So i have been looking at wheels for about a year now for my gsx. I am super picky because i know wheels can make or break a cars appearance. Is anyone on here running these or have an opinions on them?Buddy Club Qf Forged Wheels 17x8 (White) Gonna run 245/45/17
So i just ordered a Sparco L360 Ring Suede Steering Wheel. Just wondering whn i go to order my hub adapter, which would be best? Sparco, momo, nrg?I like the ribbed or crushed look of the momo. Not sure if the sparco looks like that. The nrg i believe is the shortest one. Any experience with...
So the little black pin on the drivers side floor that holds the mat in place seems to be missing and my floor mat slides all over the place when i shift. Is this a part i can replace? or is there a homemade way to fix the problem?
So ive heard mixed opinions on this and was wondering if its better to use a felpro gasket? Or permatex ultra grey?My pan has a leak in it, so i was going to remove it and was wondering which i should use to re-seal it?
So i emptied my washer tank and removed the hoses going to my hood nozzels since i only drive the car in nice weather and was looking to clean up the engine bay a little. Now this light on my dash wont go out. Is there a fuse i can remove or something? maybe turn it off with my dsmlink?

Thinking of getting some 17x8.5 wheels and they offer 30 or 40 offset. Im about 2inches dropped and wanna go with a 245/40. will +40 clear the inner side?
So i just installed a thermal catback system on my gsx. Has a nice tone but not like if heard on other peoples. Most ones i hear have a deep growl almost like a subaru. Mine just has a deep hum or tone. Im a little confused as to why i dont hear the same sound from mine. It also has a 3inch...
So, ive done a synthetic oil change, and now id like to change my other oil fluids on my gsx. Just wondering what fluid to use and how many different places do i use it. Ive heard manual transmission fluid, Trans-axle fluid, rear differential fluid? Can the same fluid be used with any of these...
I currenty have a Hahn 16g turbo. So i installed my walbro 255hp pump, Afpr, FIC 850 injectors, Turbosmart boost controller, and DSMLink. The car feels alot faster than before! Im just wondering can it really get that much faster with a professional dyno tune? The only thing i adjusted in link...
So i ordered ingalls adjustable ball joints for the front of my gsx. Only to find out that they dont fit my oem control arms? the shop told me i also need aftermarket control arms to run these ball joints. Is this true? I dont want to spend more money than i need to.
So i installed fic 850's, 255 fuel pump, afpr, dsmlink, and turbosmart mbc. What boost am i safe to turn up to? does dsmlink recognize the injectors now that ive set the global and deadtime, will it give plenty of fuel for 20psi?
So i installed dsmlink yesterday. Today when i drove it for the second time, the check engine light came on and stayed on. The code is reading 0443 (evaporative purge control valve malfunction). Why would dsmlink cause this to all of the sudden appear? what do i do about it?dsmlink says my...
So i just received my dsmlink and had a question. I have 850 injectors ready to go in. Once i set injector size on dsmlink, will it adjust my car accordingly so that it doesnt run super rich? I wanna put it in but dont have they money to get the car tuned yet.
well, i got my afpr installed and the 255 pump installed. Just ordered dsmlink v3 lite today. After thats installed, i will be putting in my fic 850's and going to get dyno tuned! Also found out my fuel pump already had the rewire done which was sweet! Do you think with the addition of these...
Ok so last night i installed my "FueLab 515" fuel pressure regulator kit. Everything went good. My question is setting the pressure. When i set the correct pressure with the boost line taken off and capped with my finger, when i put the boost line back on, the pressure drops? Is this the way you...
