Someone please tell me if these rings work!http://www.extremepsi.com/store/product.php…I'm freshening up my motor and I have older Ross pistons, part # 99811 and it seems like they would work, but the title says only fits new piston with part number # 99737. Will these work or where can I...
I just bought dsm graveyard rear axles for my 2g gsx since the old ones were seized in the hubs and they looked a little beefier but once I installed them I found the stock rear sway bar to touch the outer boots at the link so obviously when driving this would eventually cut the boots. Is there...
Im in the process of doing an awd spyder and the write up i read shows the front knuckles/hubs/ control arms all get swapped over from the awd car. Is this just to make things easier or are the knuckles/control arms different? I want to install new axles and wheel bearings anyways, so in other...
I bought a set of graveyard rear axles ( 97 gsx ) and they don't come with the inner cups. I was aware of this, they do however not even include the clamps or the boot / grease either. Are you guys transferring the boots or buying a boot kit from somewhere? If you're transferring are you...
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I picked up a 2g gsx and it's missing a few of those rubber plugs that are in the floorboards underneath the carpet. I noticed this because I was replacing the carpet, but I don't want water getting into the car and causing damage. I...
Do they make manual valvebody transmissions for these cars so you have to physically select the gear you want but it's still an automatic like they do with american cars / drag cars? I'm looking at a spyder to do an awd conversion and the car is auto, but id rather have a manual valvebody auto...
I'm trying to locate a clean ( rust free ) gst spyder to use for an awd spyder project but all the ones I've found are either way overpriced or rusted. I'm seeing a lot of gs spyders for sale for reasonable prices and I think it may be easier to find a clean one of those. If I remember right...
Just wondering how people are cleanly running the bars through a 2g dash? This thread pertains to my car : http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/hangout/255107-roll-cage-installation.html and I'm not happy how it was done and I plan to redo it on my own. Just looking for ideas or suggestions. I'm...
I'm looking for some ideas of custom fabricating a race car / sheet metal interior that looks "clean" but also provides weight savings. Car has a cage in it and the cage ruins the stock interior look and where the cage runs through the dash the way the dash is cut just looks bad so I'd like to...
I'm curious as to what it takes to make something like this? MY 2g gsx is rusting badly along the shock towers and is from this point forward becoming a dedicated drag car with no further street use. I would like to chope the entire front from the firewall forward and do a tube chassis front...
Does anyone know how close the 3g dash and center console are as far as size / fitement to converting them into a 2g interior? I hate the stock 2g outdated looking interior and my car is a weekend car anyways, with no heat, AC or anything else behind the dash and I like the 3g black interior a...
I lost my torque sheet so I forgot how much to torque these too ... they use the arp 2000 bolts. I found a number ( 43 ) in another post but that doesnt say if that's with arp lube or oil ... I'm assuming 43 ft lbs with arp / assembly lube?
I installed an aem bbk on my gsx. I have seen people put the rotors on the way I did it, and I have seen people put them on so the slots go the other way. I thought the slots were there to clean the pad so the way I have it would be right? It would clean the pad and all the dirt and what not...
Can this be done with the engine still connected to the trans? Last time I had the trans off anyways and then just pulled out the motor, but now I'm wondering if it can be pulled out as 1 unit through the top and how much clearance there is to do this? It would save me a lot of time since I...
Can someone tell me what control modules are behind the radio / climate control area on a 2g gsx? I've had this car apart for a very long time with the harnesses and modules removed and I'm in the process of reassembly and I'm having a hard time remembering a few things. First off, I have a...
I'm looking for an answer as to what the TOP fuse is for located in the fuse box under the hood? It's 30A and it looks like it's a thick white / black wire going to the inside of the car. I'm swapping a harness in off of a different vehicle and eliminating anything I don't need. I'm assuming...
I've been having a problem with my lauches on my gsx ... everytime it starts really grabbing ( around 5k ) it would misfire. People were telling me it's the clutch ( becauseof how it jerks ) but I didn't believe it. Anyways, last night one of my friends wanted to make sure his timing belt was...
I am in the process of installing the aem bbk on my gsx so I figured I'd paint the calipers as well. I took them off the car and used caliper paint I got from pep boys, however when I did thin coats the paint just wouldn't stick to some parts of the caliper and when I did thicker coats it...
I have a valve cover just like this one and need to order a gasket for it so I can put it on. What year / model hyundai gaskets do I need to order?I know it would have helped if I had payed attention when I got it at a junkyard, however I thought the mitsu gasket would just work with...
I have a 97 gsx with 59k on the odometer. Over the winter I did a COMPLETE trans rebuild, and I just picked up a 6 bolt that I'm taking to the machine shop for boring and I'm putting in JE pistons and Eagle rods. I'm also replacing all the seals and bearings and I already had a 1g head I was...
I'm looking tosee how many washers people have succesfully used with eibach sportlines and how thick the washers were to get camber in spec? I found articles to use either 35 or 40mm bolts ... are 35mm long enough for sportlines or is that only for the prokit? How about 40mm? I don't want to...
Usually I enjoy watching this show, but tonight I saw the whackest episode ever. There was a white 1989 rx7 vs. a PINK "FULL RACE" 1995 civic. The civic was SINGLE CAM, turbo, and nitrous on a slick. This episode gave imports as a whole an even worse name and makes it even more embarassing...
Buschur sells the rwd conversion motor mounts, but I'm just curious as to where they actually bolt on in the car and to the motor. I'm doing a similar swap and knowing this could be very helpful to me in what I'm doing as a reference. I'm assuming they bolt to the motor on the sides like a v8...
I'm looking into getting a gsxr600. I want to put down around 2k - 2500 and finance the rest. My car was just paid in full so I am new to financing. How much would I be looking at per month on a 5 year plan and whats the average interest rate on something like this? It's only a 7900 bike. I...
How many people on here run open turbo? Obviously it may not be the safest thing to do, however since my buildup / swap I don't seem to have a lot of room for an air filter on my turbo. ( I'm running a gm Mas setup so no intake pipe is needed ) I know I don't want to suck dirt / sand or...
I have a ported 16g right now which has brough me into the 12s, but I want to go faster. I am searching for a turbo that will still bolt up to the stock manifold but bring me into the 11s for sure. This is on a 97 gsx. I was thinking about a 20g, but more options are welcomed.... thanks.
I know this is asked all the time, but I figured I'd ask as well since you guys wouild know best.I had a 16g on a 97 gsx with all supporting mods. I have the stock 2g manifold, but it was ported, and other than that from the O2 housing down everything is aftermarket.I just sold the...
Has anyone had good luck selling a car on ebay? I'm thinking of spending the $50 or whatever it costs and throwing mine on there but I don't know if it's worth it. Did it work out for you or did the winner just not pay? That's mainly what I'm afraid of. Thanks.
I have a craftsman professional cordless drill and the battery crapped out. It was a 15.6V battery, which unfortunantly is no longer produced, nor is it available anywhere around here. ( even though it's not all that old ) The charger is the same for many different volt batteries of the same...
What is the little hole for underneath the vac. source nipple on a greddy rs bov? I'm been having a misfire problem under boost and when I went to pressurize the intake I have a huge boost leak through that little pinhole. It looks like it's some type of bleeder, but I can't tell for sure what...
My car today would spike up to 21 psi like it normally does, but rather than sitting at 20 psi until redline boost dropped down to 15 / 16 instantly and the car misfired badly. It did this everytime after that as well. I was on the way to work so I didn't have a chance to look at it yet, but...
I'm taking a factory amp out of a vehicle that I installed an aftermarket radio in, but the aftermarket radio ( pioneerdeh6800 ) only has 4 channel outputs for speakers. I have 6x9s in the rear, 6.5s in the front and I'm also wanting to run tweeters. Can I just run the front speakers and the...
I have a 1997 eclipse gsx with just about all the goodies besides a new intercooler. One of my friends got a front mount intercooler off an old Saab. It's fairly decent sized and in excellent shape and since I got it for free I might as well use it. Its black and big enough to take up just...
I'm moving out to orlando right after christmas so I'm looking to meet some cool people. I'm not sure how the dsm scene is out there but I figured Id ask. I sold my dsm a while back and have a camaro now, but I still enjoy those cars and don't mind the people that own them usually! How's the...
Anyone know what kind of car and what year range that orange / black car was in tokyo drift? The one Han was driving. I watched the movie the other day and can't quiet figure out what it is. Just curious. Thanks.
I finally got around to taking some pictures of my new weekend warrior. As many of you may or may not know I had a fully built 1997 gsx which I sold a while back. Check out what replaced it!Relevant information : 1992 Z28. Mint condition, fresh MINT...
Where have you guys had the most luck selling? I have an 02 gixxer 1k so most people either don't have the $$$ for it or don't want a 1k. I listed it on a local board, craigslist, and I tried ebay as well. I lowered my price now so it's very reasonable, but where will I have the most chances...
I was hoping someone would have their engine / trans / t case out right now and be able to do some simple measurements. Basically I need to know the "transfer case tunnel" size, meaning the width and hieight. I'm going to put my car on the lift sunday and take a look, but it's easier to...
I finally installed an aeromotive afpr after over running my stocker for about a year. At this time I also installed a manual boost controller. I adjusted it as best I could just guessing it's set for around 20 psi and I set my base fuel pressure to 43 psi with the vac. hose off. The car...
What have you guys had the most luck with in the past. In my instance it's a heavily modified car so that makes it a bit harder to do so I'm looking for where I'd have the best chances. I have it on autotrader and had it on ebay once as well but with no luck. Obviously car forums are a good...
Basically I'm posting to see if there's anything I need to worry about any time soon. Cylinder 3 is showing some signs of wear, but I'm assuming most people would just leave it alone and keep an eye on it over time.Compression ( 1-4 ) : 165, 165, 155, 165Leakdown ( 1-4 ) : 3%, 3%, 9%...
Does anyone know anyone that works at one of our wonderful emissions testing centers or know of a "cool" place that will "pass" me. :sneaky: My car failed and to get it to pass it would cost more money than it's worth, so I'm more or less looking for a place that can hook me up or any other...
