Any tips on adjusting the NGR Type S BOV? I tightened it a few turns from where it was out of the box (I believe backed out all the way).Under light/no boost, I get a quiet whoosh, or even a little bit of fluttery sounds.Moderate boost, I get a whistle.However, under a WOT pull, I get a...

Today after work, on north avenue, I saw a red 2GA eclipse. I gave him a thumbs up, and he waved. He did a little pull, it was dumping to atmosphere. that thing was niice. :thumb:

The car i'm picking up soon has one of these. It wasn't wrecked or totalled or rebuilt or anything (I did a carfax), it's because it had a lien on the title. What are the downsides to this? I know this car will pass the inspections, it already passed a regular MD inspection.

Hey everyone, it's me again. I STILL don't have my 91 tsi awd. :thumbdown I dunno if anyone has seen my previous posts, but here's the situation:There was a lien on the title, and the owner had to get a salvage title in order to sell it to me. However, in MD, you need to get a salvage...

This question doesn't necessarily apply to DSMs, but just manual transmission cars in general.Is gas mileage worse when you're going WOT in the highest gear but at a low RPM? Or is it worse when you're giving partial throttle in a lower gear at a high RPM?

Anyone remember this drink from Hi-C?Supposedly it's back.http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0822/I wanna know where I can get some.

Where is the shift knob on the bottom right from? My friend says its the stock 2GA knob, but I swear I've seen it on so many 1GBs.Did the horsecock come on ALL 1Gs?

A friend of mine has a 89 Supra Turbo, and we wanted to install a 1G BOV from it. Here is what the engine bay looks like:Does anyone know of any write-ups or anything on how to do this?

I sold my car during the summer. It was a 92 GSX. I sold it to a guy from Owings Mills who said he moved to PA.A few weeks ago, I got a call from the police."Hello, are you the owner of a black Mitsubishi 2-door Eclipse?" "Um... I used to be... why?" "Well, we found it parked in a...

Today, I watched The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Pretty creepy.There's a scene in court where the people are talking about the DSM-IV, you know, the Diagnostic and Stastical manual of mental disorders. They kept referring to it as "The DSM". They said the word "DSM" about 6 times. I couldn't...

http://www.snopes.com/photos/katrina/gaspump.aspWoo hoo. Looks like a turbo model to me.

So I sold my car 3 weeks ago to this guy. I was asking $3000, but he only had $2600. So we made a contract on paper, saying that he would pay me back in a month the remaining 400. I tried calling him, but it looks like his phone number isn't in service, a sure sign that he is trying to rip me...

It's that time for me...I've made up my mind. The car is going to be on sale soon.A lot of thought has gone into my decision. I love this car, even if it is always breaking, and I have to spend all of my time and money on it. However, I'm a college student right now (I commute with...

I was just wondering, when you remove your FPR, do you just pull it off, and dodge the fuel that is spraying out?I prefer to pull the MPI fuse, and crank the engine over a few times in the car. This lowers the fuel pressure inside the fuel rail, and fuel doesn't spray all over the place...

It's 5:45 right now, and I couldn't go to sleep. I tried an hour ago, but I just wouldn't fall asleep.Ever since summer started, I've been sleeping very erratically lately. Going to sleep at 6 or 7 AM, waking up at 3 or 4 P.M. Not healthy.Anyone else suffering?

When I step on the brakes while rolling, the brake pedal resists me, and doesn't want to go in very much. After I drive it for a while, it goes away, and it brakes normally.Any idea what this could be?

I have a beer bong in my car, but it's not for beer. It's for tranny fluid. If I got pulled over, it wouldn't be very fun, as I'm underage, and I would have to explain to the officer the true purpose for the beer bong in my car.Anyone else have funny DSM items in their car that might be...

I'm thinking about getting another car to drive, for when the DSM is down and stuff.$800 and under is what I was thinking for my budget. What would you guys recommend?

Who has 'em? I know I do. I've been scratching my eyes like crazy for the past half hour now.What do you do about them? I take Claritin, and try to sleep as much as possible.

Is it just me, or does the pass. side headlight always get dented inwards? It feels a lot more loose compared to the driver's side light. I've seen it on just about every 1GB i've ever seen.

Today, I hit a small bump, and after that, my car pulled to the right.I looked, the pass. side wheel was really crooked, as if it had really bad negative camber, and it was turned to the right. I found that the axle had totally just popped right out from the transaxle.I tried to pop...

I started my car today, and I felt a vibration. The car felt fine otherwise. It happens everytime I start it now.Before, it would make a high pitched "SKREEEE" noise when I started it.What could it be? Is it my starter on its way out?

I'm going to install a camber kit sometime this week. It's a DME motorsport eccentric bushing. I'm not going to adjust anything, I'm only going to install it. Is this safe? Would it be okay to drive around for a week or two before getting an alignment?Also, people with lowered cars, do...

Up until now, my oil pressure gauge didn't work. It just sat at L. I installed an AFPR, and then all of a sudden, the oil pressure goes up to H. I mean, it just shoots up there, and stays there. The car seems exactly the same, no other problems.I'm guessing the sender unit is bad...

My 92 Eclipse has a 90 throttle body on it. I'm not suer why, but it does.I recently performed a boost leak test, and I found that I had a big boost leak at my throttle body shaft seals. What I want to know is what I should do.My options are to either:-Find some shaft seals for a...

When I start my car up, the idle is very low, and it stalls. I adjusted my BISS to increase the idle speed, but eventually, the car still drops down, and shuts off. For example, last night I went to start the car, the idle was about 500. I adjusted it to about 800. I got back in, every 10...

Anyone know where I can get a decal/sticker of the original DSM logo? I want 2 white ones to put on my rear quarter window.

http://dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=165633&highlight=afprI searched and searched, I couldn't really find exactly what I wanted.Here are some pics of my AFPR and the fuel pressure gauge. I think I know how to install the AFPR, but I'm not sure abuot the gauge...

Yes. I try to avoid driving my car as much as possible. I guess I'm afraid that it's going to break. I don't beat on the car too much or anything, but I like to play it safe.My timing belt was done recently--the belts look fresh, and my tranny doesn't grind, but for some reason, I feel...

http://www.dsmtuners.com/tuning-guide/1gturbo/stage1power.phphttp://www.buschurracing.com/stage_1.htmlThese 2 places are very reputable when it comes to DSMs. They say you can get 300 hp with these basic mods.Do they mean pump gas or race gas? At the crank or at the wheels...

Someone tried to steal my wheels last night. One of my center caps was missing, and some of the lug nuts were loose. Damn thieves!Luckily, my wheel locks stopped them from succeeding. :thumb:I'm gonna buy some more wheel locks to make it even more complicated for anyone who tries to...

In the past month, my battery terminals have corroded about 3 or 4 times. It gets to the point where the car won't even start. What should I do? Can i just buy new terminals?Why does it keep corroding?It sure did make me mad. I punched my closet door.. and it broke. :laugh: :shhh:

I noticed while sitting in my car, that if I rest my foot on the gas very lightly, the RPMs drop. My S-AFC says the throttle goes up, but the RPMs still drop.Also, my throttle won't go any lower than 5%, is that normal? I'm assuming it is, the throttle has to be open at least a little...

My car won't start. I just installed a new battery on Sunday. It also happened on Monday. I turned on the car and tried to drive. As soon as I did, the car turned off, and I had to push start it. Other than that, it's been fine, until today.Today after work, I tried to turn on the car...

If I order one of these camber kits, do I order one for each wheel, or does one take care of both wheels?

Can someone PS a paint job?Paint the body of the car blue.... such as Blue By You (EVO 8)?, WRC blue, Daytona Blue (350Z), etc.Leave the top half black.And if it's not too much of a hassle, can you have one where the spoiler is black, and then one where the spoiler is blue?

I went to drive my car to school this morning, it wouldn't start. All I heard was this chugging noise coming from the ABS area. None of the lights turn on.Is it a dead battery?

I think i'm going to be replacing either my throttle body shaft seals, or my throttle body gasket soon to fix a boost leak.When looking at other 92-94 DSMs, I noticed my throttle body doesn't look the same as those of the other DSMs. They also don't look like 2G TBs. My friend said it...

Here she is!

I always hear people saying how 1Gs can also get crankwalk. What I want to know is, has your 1G ever crankwalked? If not, do you know anyone personally who had a 1G that crankwalked?If so, list what year it was, what motor.

I have a boost leak, I listened, and it sounds like it's near my throttle body and intake manifold area (specifically under all the fuel stuff). I looked everywhere, I put a piece of paper in the alleged location of the boost leak, no luck, I sprayed soapy water everywhere, no luck.Is it...

I put some Synchromesh in my car today, but it doesn't feel better. As a matter of fact, it feels worse. I think that I may have put too much fluid in the tranny.* What happens when there's too much?Right now, the shifting feels even notchier, I'd say, and it's hard to get it into 1st...

I just bought my car recently, and it came with an S-AFC. It doesn't have any other tuning devices. The previous owner said the car is set in "winter mode" right now. I haven't messed with any settings yet. The car is running very rich, and my gas mileage is horrible!What should I do...

Today, I was going to put some Synchromesh in my transmission. I got out the 17 and 24mm sockets and a ratchet. The 17mm was on VERY tight, as expected. I used my breaker bar, and it felt like it was turning, but no... it stripped. What should I do? I tried vice grips, that didn't work...

I recently ran seafoam through my car, and did an oil change, and replaced the plugs. 1st thru 3rd gear seem fine, and the car pulls the same way (if not harder) through those gears.However, on the highway, the car doesnt pull very well at all. I remember before I did this, I could floor...

Who here has their DSM as a daily driver? If you do, what mods do you have, and what kind of problems have you experienced?

Here's what my Type S looks like: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v253/Jungwoo/Jungs92GSX012.jpgYes, I know, it's vented. Don't flame me, I bought it that way, and I need to recirculate! But clearance issues might be a problem. If i put a tube on the BOV the way it sits right now, I...

Winter is here. I bought my car with no A/C or heat. The only thing that works is the rear windshield defroster.I'm gonna buy heat and A/C off of this guy soon. But until then, is there anything I can do to keep warm while driving? It's almost unbearable driving with no heat. Maybe...

I have a GReddy type s on my car. It's vented right now, because I just got the car and it didn't come with a recirculation tube. I haven't had time to get a recirculation tube.When I first got it, the BOV fluttered when I let off the gas. I adjusted it to it's softest possible setting...
