    Of Flywheels and Threadlockers.

    The day after Christmas, 2007? 2008? meh. Some time ago, Ryuto held out his hand for me and offered to get my clutch done for me. I was still a little wet behind the ears and needed a hand. Gotta love DSMers ;) After tearing my old SPEC Stage 2+ and stock flywheel out of there we installed a...

    ECUflash Log shows more timing than the map calls for??

    So it finally nice out and I've been doing some "tuning". I've run into knock city and I'm trying to figure out what the main issue is. The maps are not so far from stock that they should become unusable - They're even conservative, I think.Here's an excerpt from my most recent log. You will...

    ECUflash The most smooth[fuel maps] of them all!

    While I'm sure many are aware, there is a nice little option called View Graph built into Ecuflash. When viewing a table you can simply click View>View Graph (Alt+G).An argument can be made regarding smoothness and the graph. Street/Dyno/Track tunes will all vary in smoothness, too. I guess...

    ECUflash Periphery Bit for P0445?

    Does anyone know which bit corresponds to this trouble code?Some years ago while attempting to park, I ended up ramming a precariously placed 2x4 right into my charcoal canister/assembly as if it was a sort of spear. I never got a code for it until now. Yes, I've changed the gas cap and...

    Anyone watch the free-fall jump this morning?

    Pretty cool. I dare not say anything negative, but I was really wondering about the guy's mental state. These guys must be under tremendous pressure. Good watch.Introummm. Not a fan of the website though.

    Cone shaped transmission bolt stripped.

    My car does not have the Y bolt. Instead, it appears to have three U bolts. I don't know if this was a mix up years ago with a mechanic or if it was done at the factory - but the bolt is a Mitsubishi bolt and is identical to the other two U bolts.Upon removal of the supposed Y bolt the threads...

    Rear Camber Eccentric Kits

    I first switched from the DIY method because I wanted more exactness. I wanted adjustability. So I picked up the Ingalls kit. The one with maximum adjustment. I'm 100% sick of my Ingalls rear kit and I've only had it installed for a month. But I think the problem is people, not the parts...

    T or F? Someone told me that, unlike motor oil, gear oil thickens with age.

    That's it. Just wondering if anyone has any information on that.Honestly, I'd have just thought that gear oil thins out much the same as regular oil.

    What does your clutch fluid look like?

    Mine goes black fairly quickly. I just assume it's the seals breaking down in the master and slave but I've also heard from some corvette guys that valvoline fluid sucks for clutches and promotes the dirty fluid situation. They also seemed to indicate that the black stuff is clutch dust entering...

    2G New brakes for the GSX (budget)

    My brakes are squealing, sticking and rubbing. It's past that time. My gear has already seized up on me once about 6 years ago and rather than deal with all that rusty old junk I figured I'm better off just replacing the parts altogether.I've been able to locate the following from a...

    Caliper suggestions.

    Strange behavior after installing new steering boots and tie rod ends

    I just replaced my boots and tie rod ends today and when I put everything back together and drove the car up and down the street, just to park it, the steering felt very strange. I don't mean just a little different, I mean that the car barely even turns at full steering lock. I also noticed...
