Well I've owned 2 that had front rust, but never one that had rear rust tower issues. This is a bad one, was wondering why it sounded like the hatch was banging around while driving but it's the strut whacking around because the little "cup" that it sits in has rusted enough to break off.Is...

So I put on a brand new set of drilled rotors, and a new set of duralast gold front pads. After everything was installed the drivers side rotor is touching the pads a little. Tried taking it all back off, reinstalled and still they are dragging a little. It sounds like what it sounds like...

I've been searching, not much info out there. Anyone know the paint code for the 95 metallic blue color on talons? Its the color of the car in this threadhttp://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/hangout/316029-pics-blue-95-tsi-eclipse-front-bumper.html

Looking to find out if the front strut towers (the metal shell part that always rusts) actually serves a structural purpose or if itst here simply to cover the springs. mine are nearly gone on my recent project GSX purchase and instead of getting something fabbed I'm considering using the cut...

Bought a 2g gsx that will need paint. Previous paint job of black was done terribly, and it was baby blue before that, neon green before than, then the stock red. So, looking for some suggestions on colors.My thoughts lean towards grays. I used to own a Sandstone 3000gt, and a grey 2g...

Bought the car that wouldn't stay running. Seemed like fuel but ran a compression test on it and the number from left to right came out 170, 180, 30, 50. Added some oil to the low two cyls and got 50 and 80. Is it headgasket time, rings, or 6 bolt?Car's blog is over at...

I've looked around. 95's are the bastard child when it comes to just about everything and MFI relays are in the same boat. Can anyone tell me how to test the MFI on a 95? I have it located and dangling there but not a clue how to test it. Chilton's is useless / searched with no avail.Thanks

No CEL's, just bought the car knowing it has issues, just changed the plugs that were fouled terribly.If I start the car it dies immediately. If I start the car and hold my foot on the gas it will stay running. Ideas? Again, no CELs but I'll go double check while it's running.

Parts wish list: 6bolt $350, act 2100 (sbr 2100), short shifter $25, Wheels/Tires, lowering springs, evoIII 16g, dsmlink, bigger injectors+fuel pump, fpr, fp gauge, boost gauge, mbc, egt gauge, gauge pod, full exhaust, fmic...is that too much to ask for? Oh and how about a radio dammit. bold =...

Bought it running very rough. Wouldnt stay on and blows a good amount of smoke. Previous owner said he rarely used Premium.Pulled the plugs about 5 mins ago. 3 gapped at 40 and 1 at 35.http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v1496/107/109/22406785/n22406785_38446869_787.jpg

MODS - please dont link me to something and then close this without me resolving it. This helps nobody at that point and makes me make another thread. I've searched.Ok, after installing a mbc on my 2g I'm getting zero boost. You can hear the turbo want to go, but zero on the gauge and...

I did some research around here and the google god, seems that most sites are saying a battery sitting in the car should put out appx 14.2 volts. Brand new battery because the last one was trash. New battery is 12.5v sitting not running. Running is appx 12.42, with headlights it drops to the...

96 tsi awd auto. Did I mix up some type of lines? It appeared as if there were oem lines in the car that were t'd into the wastegate, I t'd into that, ran into the controller, then the jpipe is running into the controller.I dont remember there being an oem type line from the wastegate on...

Ok I'm in the process of possibly getting a 2g gst spyder. Has 104k, recent rebuild and new long block, and new stock turbo. Now, I've owned 2 awd's and 1 gst so I know what these should feel like but it feels slow. When you press the peddle in it feels like it's going about 50% throttle and...

I'm looking into a crazy good deal on a 99 spyder that seem has bent/broken "links" in the top. Top still goes up and down (down with help). Been looking online but can't seem to find a place that just sells two little rods for the top.Anyone?

So I started throwing a P0100 shortly after I replaced my starter and started messing with the SAFC2. Any ideas here? Car runs bogs/hesitates like crap when I hit the LO throttle point on the SAFC (25 %) and then it starts to build up after a few seconds and runs normal. Any ideas on what to...

Hey guys, bought the car with stock settings on the SAFC II, and would like to adjust the HI for more fuel because it's getting robbed by my evoIII 16g even at 12psi. Any more boost seems get me close to fuel cut. I've got 550cc's, 190lph fuel pump and here's some other performance mods...that...

So I'm looking at my evo 16g (previous owner installed), and I notice that there's an unused hole. It's threaded and I have no idea what its for. It's on the top of the turbo pretty close to where it bolts to the Jpipe (black pipe in pic). It's the hole right under the bolt head there right...

Ok I've got a killer idea on writing/making a movie. Always wanted to do it so I'm freakin doing it. Details will be released later on how I'm going about this but I think it's going to be pretty good concept for everyone.Anyways...I'm looking for names for the movie. It's going to be a...

Went out to install my new bm style short shifter...took the console of and low and behold the previous owner must have installed the exact same one that I was going to put on today.Guess it saved me some time but shorted me $31 in the process.ROFL

Probably one in every 3 times I go to start my car the starter will just whine no crank, then whine again, no crank, and finally fire up. Is the starter going or should I try some other things first?

Ok I've been trying to find out why I'm getting fuel cut. Car came without a boost gauge but mbc. Dangerous not knowing what you're running on an EVO III 16g...more dangerous to come and find out it's basically running 20psi plus.*Installed gauge today. Drove car. Boost is way high and...

Did some searching around and cant seem to find anything. My car is debadged totally in the rear. I wanted to put "16GS-T" on the back in stock font in stock location. Any idea where I can find this?

Just changed out my spark plugs. Went with NGK bpr6es gapped at .028. Had no idea what plugs I was running since I just bought it. Turns out they are NGK bpr6ek's with a split top. All four are black and there's probably no way to actually measure gap on these with the coin ramp style gapper...

Just wondering what anyone thinks or if they run Bosch wires? They are the only decent brand in stock around town...guess I could order online but wondering if that'd be a waste if these are decent.(btw - searched and there's one thread about them in 2003 for all you search monkies)

I really dont like the hole pillar gauge thing. Might go with a center vent gauge setup, but would love to do a steering column gauge pod. Maybe 2 or 3 right there so I dont have to be looking all over my car for readings.If one isnt already in production I will just make my own i...

I just got an offer for: "hi, my friend is very interested in your 92 AWD and was wondering if you would be interested in a trade for his 97 grand prix GTP supercharged black with tan leather, black rims, tinted back windows, keyless entry/remote start/alarm and has 120xxx miles, also do you...

Yep I am an idiot. Was racing an 80's Vette and got nailed. Cop was nice enough to not take my license or throw me in jail.PS- Beat the vette.

So I was thinking that maybe I had a valve cover gasket leak. Not looking so likely anymore. I went out to check everything this morning and saw not only oil but some coolant on my trans:thumbdown . So I started the car, looked under the hood and smoke was coming out from [under] the turbo...

Well it isnt a pic of my engine but it may help. This happened last week and not since again except for today. Oil is leaking somewhere and I need some help. Temp goes up...way too far. Attached is a pic circled where I can kind of locate where the oil is coming out. Please help.

Driving to class yesterday I reversed in the parking lot, smelled some oil burning, parked, then saw the smoke coming out of my hood. Looked at it after class and couldnt see any visible sign of where the oil might be coming from (my best guess was the valve cover gasket having a leak or...

I started hearing a clicking noise yesterday by my left front tire. I was thinking maybe a CV joint but theres no grease on my rims. So, I grabbed the MITSU wrench and checked my lugnuts. Sure enough, 6 out of the front 10 were loose. Damn, that could have been bad!

Guess I just feel like venting. I went to put on my stock 93 3000gt winter rims/tires on my 92 TSi awd and the fronts are on no problem. The rears dont fit, so I have 16's on front a the sport tire 17s on back. Went out and bought spacers today that said they would fit, and yeah they dont. So...

I have been feeling for some time now that I may have a slight boost leak. The gauge holds 14.5psi all the way through the band it feels sluggish after about 4750rpms.What do you think normal vac would be with these mods? (note these arent all of my mods just the ones that possibly deal...

Been noticing that my gas mileage sucks. I bought the car with the mods on there and really havent had the time to get around to doing anything to it yet. With Christmas break coming up I will have some time to work on it. Here is my list of some major mods:Buschur upper intercooler...

I am having issues finding any BOV that will fit this pipe due to its flange position. The 1g adapter I have for my Turboxs Bov's (yes plural) bends at some crazy angle and won't let the bov's fit under the hood. What do you guys suggest?

Hook me up with some ideas. Basically all I can come up with is to the right of the head unit. I was going to buy a 2g steering wheel and cut the bag out to incorporate it in there, but I'm putting my Rio Riot MP3 player there instead.

Well I was rolling by in the parking lot and came across a DSM rear bumper. So I was gonna check to see what it was (eclipse, talon, turbo, ect...) but then came across a "GT-R" badge placed on the rear passangers side corner. I was with a girl so I didnt jump out and "wtf are you doing...

1g, 2g, gvr4, whatever. Just list it, and maybe a pic if you can.

I know I shouldnt have even opened my mouth, cause now I'll be looking for some bronze rims in no time flat.

Might be lined up to get the door and rear speakers from a 2g infinity equipped DSM. Will there be any fitment issues with this. Open to all suggestions also.

I know some tracks have scales, but I wont be out to one anytime soon. Any other clues on where to weigh my cars?

My car came with an EVO VII or VIII knob and it doesnt screw on all the way, therefore its kinda loose and funky. So I put my 3k knob in there and it fits great. Question is, the damn 3k knobs cost an arm and a leg, would the 2g DSM knob fit fine?

Has anyone cut off the black plastic nostrils on a 1g bumper between the headlights? It would get a little more air into the engine.

I just bought a Rio Riot (20gb of memory) and plan on hooking it up to my oem tape:rolleyes: player. Just wanted to see if anyone has experience with this at all. Maybe post some pics of a good setup.

Not too familiar with fitments on bovs for dsm's. I know there are many adapters out there for 3/S cars. Just wondering which ones will bolt up to a 1g flange on a Buschur UICP.
