Hey guys, I am about to make a move across three states and I want to get a really nice car cover for my 2G Eclipse GSX. I was wondering what you guys recommend for a nice fitting and quality cover I can put over it during the move as I am sure it will be subjected to tons of road grime and dirt...

I was wondering if anyone here has installed a decent aftermarket OEM style bumper on a 2GB eclipse and what brand it is. I am installing an aftermarket intercooler that needs the front bumper to be trimmed and I am not wanting to cut my OEM bumped in case I return the car back to stock. I have...
I just needed to get on the board and vent for a minute... so I am currently in the process of restoring my 99 GSX to mint condition, I would say I am about 75%ish complete, but have lost heart in it over the past few months. Not because of the work its taking or money to be honest, but because...

Guys I am losing my mind with this car and the front end. Background… I am restoring the car and when I first took everything off the front end I had it down to the bare metal. So, I go to paint the front end and everything is going really smooth and laying down great. I am using spray cans...
Background on what I am trying here. Wanting to drop car 1.5” all the way around and after using the ingalls camber kit I am not happy with it. I am moving on to trying the SPC adjustable ball joints. I am not too thrilled about going with the Megan Racing arms since I want it to still have a...

Decided to go with E-85 setup and don’t need this anymore. Pump only, so would need the install kit that’s an option when ordering the pump from somewhere like stmtuned. $80 plus whatever shipping is and it’s yours.
So I have been searching on here before I asked and I cant seem to find anything before asking. I am using an autometer cobalt wideband a/f gauge and I have now installed my dsmlink ecu and want to start logging everything and using the gauges to their full potential. My issue and question...

Hey everyone, I need a huge favor from the community right now.. I am finishing a build and I desperately need a part. The part is the fuel filler neck to tank hose. It’s the larger of the two hoses for the 99 GSX. Everywhere I call says it’s discontinued, obsolete etc and Miller sent me the...
So I am going through and restoring my 99 GSX and have been ordering all new OEM parts to have a fresh start. I went to do the shocks/struts today since they are pretty rough on the mounting pads and have all new hardware. The issue I have however is that the cup I pulled OFF the car and it is...
So I hate to post another wideband question but after doing as much research as I can I have to now. I googled and did thread searches and can’t seem to find my specific question/solution. So... here goes. Sorry for anyone that rolls their eyes at this if it seems really simple. Car is factory...
I recently moved to the bay area and would like to meet up with some fellow DSM guys/girls and talk cars and whatever. I currently live in Vallejo so both the bay area and Sacramento areas are close by. I kind of have an odd work schedule as I work in Aircraft Maintenance, but just want to try...
