So, I've been out of the DSM world for 15 years, and I'm on a whole other side of the country from when I last owned a DSM. I used to own GVR4 1232/2000, and I had some really special times in my life in that car. I'm looking to buy another Galant VR4, and rather than go crazy with...
Ok, so I was bored on wikipedia...Apparently, the Hyundai Pony (which was available in Canada, and is beginning to pass the 25-year limit on non-us-market cars) looks like a cheap, rear-wheel-drive chassis. It used a variety of old Mitsubishi SOHC engines...so how hard does it look to stuff...
I'm looking to make my GVR4 a little faster without breaking the bank. Here's what I have:Installed:
ETS FMIC/piping
Walbro 255
Fidanza 3.2 clutch
TRE Trans
Suspension mods that aren't really relevant to the car's ability to make or withstand more power.Uninstalled/on order:
RC...
I'm just curious to see how much everyone's paying at the pump these days.Here in Cleveland, I paid $1.75/gallon for regular for the beater, and $1.95/gallon for my Talon's 94-octane a week ago. Now it jumped to $1.99/gallon for regular, probably due to holiday travel.So how much are...
I own GVR4 1232/2000. So far, I'm stockpiling parts for a basic 16G setup, consisting of RC 550's, a Walbro 255, ETS FMIC. I know I need an FPR, I'm just not sure which one I'm going to get yet. I plan to use an AEM wideband 02 sensor regardless of any other factors. Now, here's my dilemma...
I'm here in tropical Cobb County on vacation with my girlfriend. Things were going great, until my right rear caliper locked up on my Galant VR4. I'm a pretty broke bastard, so I can't exactly pay a shop's labor and markup. I can get the parts at a local parts store, and I'm able to pay $100...
Is there any way to install a in-dash dvd player (basically, a Dual xdvd8181) so that the whole head unit can be removed quickly and easily? I can't afford a detachable one, so I'm wondering if it can be installed in some sort of "quick release" bracket, or if there's some way to ghetto-rig such...
If there was a talking DSM in a movie, who should voice it?I say Lewis Black. Imagine a talking DSM berating all the other inferior bandwagon cars in a lot. ROFL
It's weird, poorly acted, and was probably directed and edited by chimps on meth.But Paul Walker gets beaten within an inch of his life.I give it two balance shafts up. :D
I need to dry out an alternator that's been completely submerged in water. Never mind why. I know it will render the alternator useless, but if I put it in the oven for 5-10 minutes, is there a risk of a house fire, or damage to my oven? It's a natural gas oven. not electric, if it matters...
I've been battling a power steering leak for a while, and I finally pressure tested it last week. It was the little elbow on the power steering pump that goes to the suction line (some of you may be familiar). I immediately was afraid that I'd have to go to the stealership, since this isn't...
I found a (barely) running 1991 Camaro Z28 that I'm considering ebaying for a quick profit since I can get it for $150. The only thing wrong other than a sludgy engine that has sat for two years is black mold in the interior. Since the car's nice enough that someone will probably want to drive...
In the next six months or so, I want to get the little dings and dents fixed on my beloved TSi AWD. I'm also planning on a fresh coat of paint. What do you all think would be best?
If any of you are on Hot Or Not, you all probably know what I'm talking about. We have one on the SR20forum and since they're closer to NABR than Tuners in style, I figured it'd be ok here as well.Here's a link.http://www.hotornot.com/s/dsmtuners?invite=6F573CEFKQSQAZ
Tomorrow at 6AM I'm flying to Seattle with my dad to pick up a 1993 Sentra SE-R we bought. The car isn't questionable since it has 80K miles on it and is from the original owner (Which is also why we're going all the way to Seattle to get it). Tonight we're hearing about a record-breaking...
...or not. This is just a winter beater that I got a great deal on. It's in really bad shape, but I still paid less than what it's worth. 196K and runs like a champ.The first two pics are all I have of the car (I bought it last night). The last is a quick sig I made for a Nissan site...
http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=190789070I'm betting that I can't. Still though, it looks like a cool little truck. Anyone know more about them (specs, rarity, history, etc.)?

I've been here a while, but my car's basically stock and this is an issue with unmodified parts. That's why I'm posting this in the newbie section. I drive a 1990 TSi AWD with only an ACT 2100, K&N drop-in, free aircan mods, crushed BOV, and KYB GR2 struts.Symptoms:1. Vehicle does not...
Today I saw a plate frame on a Land Rover that said "I'd rather be driving my MG." Considering that every DSM owner needs either another car or a bus pass to hold a job while owning one of our fun, fast deathtraps, I figured something similar to our cars would sell well. A lot of local sign...
Who else misses Beavis and Butthead? I found a Cornholio soundboard, and it brought back good middle school memories. I'm sure someone else will enjoy this.http://www.geekasaurus.com/cornholio.html
As some of you may or may not know, I'm almost as big of a Nissan enthusiast as I am a DSM nut. On a small local Nissan forum, there was some debate about what exactly a DSM is. I just recited this stuff off the top of my head from things I've read over the years. Please correct any...
Why is this significant to the DSM community? Because Wakeman, OH is the home of Buschur Racing and some Shootout events. Even in the winter months, I'd say that Buschur's customers per month outnumber the town's residents. Since everyone knows everyone in that town, it's gotta be a mess for...

Amid complaints that he's deceptive, belligerent and a nuisance, garage owner Charlie Calanni claims that he's the victim.

I can counter anything...
Someone made one of the ignorant overstatements about crankwalk that typically slander our cars' reputation. This was my response, based on a vague memory of some Wiseman's post. How accurate is it?
It's simple. If you're going to be there, copy and paste the list with your screen name added to the next open position.1. jp171

Is there a legally obtainable, free program that can do some of the basic things that photoshop can, such as insert text into photos (better than POS MSPaint)?Every time I try to download any software (including PS) on a P2P network, my computer catches more nasty trojans and viruses than a...
Holden, GM's Australian division, made this promo video of one of their cars drifting. This is amazing, and I encourage you to watch it despite the slow download times.http://www.hsv.com.au/cars/vy2/video/premiere.wmv
If anyone knows more about this car, I'd be interested in learning more about it. It's a 1976 Dodge Colt. I'm not going to buy it or anything, I'm just curious.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6210&item=2474035885&rd=1Anyone know?Vehicle...
As of right now, I am about to purchase a Datsun 510 once someone steps up and buys my Talon. I am brainstorming different engine swaps, and I'd love to put a 4G63 in it, as we all know what a capable engine it is. My question is this:What RWD manual transmissions would be the easiest to...
If anyone wants to, please own this man in the most creative way you can imagine. I'm hoping that someone can put his head on a breakdancer's body, and make an animated .gif of him breakdancing, but anything you all are willing to do is fine by me.Have fun and be creative.Here's Tommy...
I know there have been some threads about "cleanest 1G," "hottest 2G," or whatever, but I felt there needed to be a thread for the photos that, through lighting, scenery, and general composition, stand out. Even if the car's not the greatest, I'd like to see what we all think are photos that...
As soon as I flip open the Metro section of today's (Sunday's) Cleveland Plain Dealer, I was hit with some horrible news. Apparently two DSM'ers died in a fatal wreck in Mansfield. While I didn't know these guys personally, it hurts all the more to hear about a fellow DSM'er going under. Does...
If it's not too much trouble, could one of you please photoshop this picture to make it look like this bus is engulfed in flames?There's no hurry; I'm just thankful that you folks take the time out to do this for people.
I just thought ya'll would get a kick out of my latest eBay find. Something tells me that some dealership is missing a shirt somewhere. I dig it, and it was only $4.50.
I'm a poor college student...can someone point me to a place where I can download PS or a generic/shareware equivalent for free? It'd be a great help.Thanks.P.S. Kazaa/Gnutella/any p2p network won't work, since my university's network blocks them.
I just spent a few hours putting together a roughly 5-minute video of the best of a bunch of DSM & EVO footage that I've pulled off the 'net over the past year or so. I put some music to it, and I tried to make it pretty balanced (there's drag racing, street racing, auto-x, freeway racing, and...
I'm curious as to what would be a better buy:1. A rebuilt alternator from Murray's Auto Parts (those of you from the midwest will know this store) that comes with a lifetime warranty that from my experience is actually honored (I've gotten a power steering pump and a radiator replaced under...
