Anybody pick this game up?Tried it last night, I'm impressed. It's a good mix of RTS and first person/3rd person. In addition to building and commanding all the various units (ships, fighters, subs, etc), you can also personally take control of anything you build...

As you know, we have a team of DSMTuners.com members competing in the One Lap of America being covered by Motor Trend Magazine.So far, they placed well in the skidpad, and were running 2nd in class!Today they have run into some issues.If anyone near cincinatti or florence kentucy...

Crashing on the last session of Day 2 was a bit of a bummer, but I learned from it.1) Don't try to clip the curb that tightly 2) There's gotta be an easier way through WilsonWilson and Temptation are my weak points, so I decided to get the bike back to riding shape so I could have a chance...

Monday night was spent patching my radiator with a waterproof epoxy that did the trick. I also changed all the fluids that night. Started her up, and it held pressure up to 194 degrees F.Woke up early Tuesday morning, ready to see where I could find some more time on the track. Tuesdays...

Arriving at Calabogie Motorsports Park, around 6:30pm Sunday, My buddy Mac and I set up shop (EZ-Ups, tools, bikes, etc. etc.) and performed a pre tech inspection on our bikes before we turned in. We met up with a few other guys and gals that we knew, and I began to pick up some tips on riding...

Started playing it recently with a Logitech G25 wheel setup.WOW! Realistic racing, plenty of online mods, big community, and you can setup a dedicated server! A couple of us here in Buffalo are going to start up a winter racing league (which it seems you can run points, rewards...

Motorcycle gamers rejoice. Looks like Polyphony Digital, the makers of the popular racing series Gran Turismo are coming out with a new racing game for the motorcycle guys.Here is a list of features from the website:* Critically-acclaimed development team: from the developers of Gran...

Over the summer while building up my suspension, I decided to tackle the issue my car has with having a useable camber adjustment range for the front of my car (97 Mitsu Eclipse AWD turbo; it has none basically). After some research, and talking to a lot of other fellow DSM people that autocross...

If you find this article helpful, please click on the Karma Scales at the top right corner of the article and rate accordingly. Thanks :)Now that I've had a few days with this setup, it is time for a review:I installed a Buscher Downpipe & Buscher Hi Flow Cat(2.5) with a Greddy...

Quick question for one of the Tire Rack lurkers (Luke and friends) or anyone that has already (doubt it, but worth a shot) bought these tires, or plans to buy them:http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Hoosier&tireModel=Radial+WetAre these tires limited to track (road...

I've noticed my car having strange vibrations at low RPM between idle and about 2000,and the timing being pulled when driving between 1000 and 2000 RPM. After checking my tensioner on the altenator, it didn't help. Today I pulled off the timing belt covers, and for some reason my timing belt...

Their website has been down for a few weeks now... did they go out of business or something?

In the process of rebuilding my tranny, I noticed my ACT Pressure Plate is already halfway worn out. I just installed the ACT 2100 clutch in February of this year. Besides some spirited driving, I've only done a few autocrosses. I haven't drag raced or streetraced at all. My question is what is...

To make a long story short, I had a strange vibration in my car around 3K RPM. A few days later, my car died. After much cursing and troubleshooting (Mitsubishi AWD turbo engine= no free space to work. NONE! ) I found that my balance shaft belt somehow was stripped of it's teeth. All the rubber...

About two days ago, I noticed everytime I get on the gas (3K+ RPM), the car vibrates, sorta like it would if a hub bearing goes. As of this afternoon, I'm stumped.... I'm getting a weird vibration that I can feel through the wheel and shifter. It goes away every once in a while, but normally...

Getting the car ready for racing season (autocross, open track days). After fixing two stripped wheel studs, and stripped holes on my caliper assembly (had to drill out, re-tap and thread new holes on front caliper assembly and bang out wheel studs. Thanks Sears and Midas for using an impact...

Hepling a friend install an AFC II on his GS-T. Wired everything up according to V-FAQs. Set all the settings correctly. Car runs fine starts fine, etc. 2 problems. RPM isn't registering (I checked the wire connectivity, it's there)2) "COR" isn't moving at all when you monitor it. Since I am...

I have a Clarion VRX6671z In-Dash LCD. These units (and probably the touch screen units that came after) have an orange wire that is attached to the parking brake as a "safety feature" which disables the video( audio still plays) when the parking brake isn't up. Is there a way to circumvent this...

First of all, I hate you 1st gen guys :)Now that I've gotten that out of the way, has anyone used it yet? Comments? Looks like a good tool, and a friend of mine with a 1st gen is looking into picking one up....http://www.digitaltuning.com/?page=prod&prod=kb

Just stumbled across them today on Mach V's website. Supposedly direct replacement (no hacking wires) and you can run leaded fuel. Here's the kicker. Only fits the front sensor on the 2Gs. Damn, we are screwed again :cry: You 1G guys have it made (seemingly).Anyone use these yet? What...

Is there a difference between the BPR6ES and BPR6EK plug?Is one better than the other? OR did NGK just change their part numbers around and not tell anyone?I feel like such a n00b for asking this :confused:

So I was on the way to work this morning, plowing the snow for the DMV because those lazy bastards obviously aren't up when I have to get to work ( the snow was over my lip by at least 2 inches, coming over the hood and the roof. Think white missle). After the half hour drive, I get out and...

Besides being a cylinder problem, it could be thisas I found out this weekend while replacing my master and slave cylinders, clutch, and flywheel.Scary, ain't it?

Here's the situation. About to replace some drivetrain components. I ordered a Fidenza 8lb Aluminum flywheel. I bought the flywheel because I run my car at some open track events (i.e. road courses). However, I realize that the heavier flywheel may provide better "momentum" when startingto get...

I'm getting fustrated with the search.....For you guys that have pushed the T25, at what RPM did you hit your max boost? Did the RPM that you hit max boost change as you increased boost?Repy with (a)set boost level and (b)RPM max boost level was attained.Thanks.

Ok I was running some logs on my car, and I've come up with a weird code:PO 125: Insufficient Coolant Temperature for Closed Loop Fuel Control.How does Coolant Temp affect my fuel system? :confused:I already know I'm running a bit rich (carbon on exhaust, Fuel Trim bank 1...

Trying to install my new Valentine 1 Radar to a 12V line source so I don't have to use the cigarette lighter (who was the dumbass engineer that decided to put the lighter right in the way of your shifter?! :mad: ).Best case scenario, I'd like to have the wire running up behind the rearview...
