I'm having some crazy electrical issues with my build. I picked up the car as a shell in March. It was FWD.
We did the AWD conversion, fuel senders rewired as the diagrams on here suggest, etc.
We got the motor in the car and yesterday went to connect the laptop to test the fuel pump. Two...
I had to send my 99 GSX project to the crusher after discovering a ton of rot in structural areas.:ohdamn:
You can read more about that car here --->http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/dsm-build-journals/475412-mystery-machine-1999-eclipse-gsx.htmlSo I pulled the motor, trans, interior, AWD...
So I picked up this 6 bolted 99 Eclipse GSX with black leather in running condition for the cool price of $2,000. The person I bought the car from knows absolutely nothing of the car's history or mod list other than what you can physically see in the engine bay (He received the car as payment...
Yes you read the title correctly. I want to convert my Eclipse into a Talon.
I picked up a 99 GSX project with black leather and quite honestly I prefer the Talon look despite the fact that everyone usually does the opposite conversion.Does that sound a little crazy? Well the craziness...
Hey guys I am getting a local club going in Rhode Island. I really need some help from someone who is excellent with photoshop to create the perfect logo that will be featured on the main page. What I am thinking is the logo will be the only thing on the main page so it needs to be rather large...
So my friend recently got a leak in his aluminum Mishimoto radiator, and ordered a new one..I happen to need an aluminum radiator also so he told me to take the leaking one and try to repair it. If it is fixable I can throw him $40 for it, if not he said just to scrap it and forget about...
I think I have finally stumbled onto a car that is a legitimate replacement.
I purchased my 10th DSM today. 1997 GSX with 60k miles on the chassis.
It was an old friends car who lost interest. I almost feel like a thief picking this thing up for $3500. So flawless!Current mods include...
Has anyone else bought the new Avenged Sevenfold album yet? I had the priviledge of not only buying thier new album the day it came out, but also got to see them perform live that day also at the Mayhem fest. The new album is AMAZING! A good mix of different styles. Some soft music about thier...
This is a little odd.
I wired in a slimline radiator fan into the 2g using the proper wiring method.White-Black (+) Low
Black (-) Low
White-Blue (+) High
Blue-Green (-) HighI connected both Low and High negatives together and both positives together and the fan is acting as a...

My friend Josh (Who is a fellow DSMer, Chowda633 on here) set up a web cam last night in his apartment for the hell of it out of bordom.
This morning he had to go and have surgery and left 8am in the morning.He came home to his apartment missing his laptop, speaker, and misc things. He got...
Finally finished the car, got it running but having some occasional starting issues.
It is getting fuel and spark. With some spraying of starter fluid I can finally get the car running and it will run a little rough for a brief couple of seconds but then it's perfectly fine. When I shut the...
We finally got my car running but have ran into what seems to be a drivetrain issue.
The car seems to bind and lock up even when in neutral. You can't get the car in reverse at all, and when the cars in any forward gears it goes a short distance making noises and then locks up.
Initially we...
I need someone to PS me something like the AMS turbo logo, but without the AMS lettering in there.

Hey guys, my latest project is a 95 TSi AWD in black, which I'm more than likely going to be painting barcelona red. Anyways I am left with the difficult decision of deciding which front bumper to throw on the car. My first option is getting a 2ga talon front and throwing it on, My second option...
I went a little photo crazy today. I don't think I have posted this on here yet but I ended up buying an srt-4 with a few mods. Got the car in stock looking form. Removed the wing, painted the stock wheels and also did a bronze top two-tone. It's a fun car to say the least. I still have my Laser...

I need some help creating a nice club logo for my local DSM club '' Baystate DSM ''. (Massachusetts based DSM club)
I was just wondering if somebody could make us up something real nice. It will be a huge help.
Maybe something incorporating the mitsu,eagle, and plymouth logos in there or some...
I've been working on a custom 2gb eclipse bumper at work the past few weeks.
I got the bumper free when a dealer decided to replace it when it only needed to be heated up and popped back out.Took the bumper, filled in the foglamp holes,filled in the mitsu emblem.. made a huge cutout for the...
So I have been driving my car forever pretty much with my boostgauge not wired up for the light.The other day I decided to try to hook up the power source so it would light up (Bad decision on my part)I pulled out the foglight switch figuring I would use my power from that source since I...

I need to see the roof, upper section of hatch,and complete hood of this car in bronze.If anyone could help me out, I would appreciate it greatly!:thumb:
Me and my friend picked this thing up in New Hampshire as a donar car to do an awd conversion on his 96 GST.I cannot bare to even look at this car without wanting to cry. The rarest and most beautiful stock DSM color ever. What a damn waste. The prior owner slid the car into a telephone pole...
Tri-coat white with blue pearl. The blue pearl is barely visible but ah well, I paid 50 bucks for the whole car to be painted due to the fact that I work in a bodyshop.
The car use to be green with black wheels. I didn't care for it much so I went with the white with bronze wheels style. White...
6 Bolt swap done. All mods from the FWD are now tranferred over to the AWD. The new RS60T pulls great. I need to get the good wheels on it, but one of the jerks at Shell gastation broke off one of my Valve stems on one of the wheels while trying to mount the tire, so I'm trying to hunt down a...
I've searched but have found no direct answers to my question.I'm pulling everything from my 95 TSi FWD and putting it into my 96 TSi AWD. 6 bolt, Eprom, fmic, etc..I have a 255lph in the FWD.I think I have gathered enough information to say that the pump can be used on the AWD but...
Well started ripping her apart. My FWD days are over.Already ripped out the suspension, wheels, turbo, and fmic.Soon taking out the 6 bolt, ecu, etc..Also completed the 2gb talon conversion on the new car. Heres some pics. It's sad to see her the way she is,this was probably one of the...
I did a search but could not get a direct answer to my question,so I'm sorry if this question has been answered over and over again.Will my H&R Springs/KYB GR2 shocks from my 95 TSi FWD fit on my 96 TSi AWD?If so,will the spring rate be horrific?Thanks for the help guys.
My buddy Steve obtained a clean 91 GSX with 160k miles a couple months ago.It was owned by a 65 year old Dodge mechanic who was the only owner before he passed away.
When my friend got the car he added new plugs,wires,suspension,3'' turboback,water pump,new timing belt,balance shaft belt,new...

I just recently picked up a 96 TSi AWD.
I originally bought the car planning to swap over everything (including 6 bolt) from my blue 2g fwd to the awd,but i'm really having a hard time letting my blue car go.The work I put into the car mechanically and exterior-wise has created some sort of...

I ended up selling this car due to major problems awhile back with the 6 bolt swap,etc.I then went to a 92 TSi AWD then traded that for a 95 TSi AWD which I still have but am getting rid of.Anyhow,I got my old car back,all the kinks are worked out and it runs great.Paid $5,000 which is a steal...
