True, I do miss my Eclipse, but the build quality is top notch and the looks amazing. I do hope sometime in the future to find a GSX to build. But right now, buying a new house is next on my priority list. I know I can claim some on taxes to help out. Right now though, I am waiting on...

Thanks for the reply, I went ahead and bought it. It is awesome! Not great speed, but decent. And it handles like its on rails, the build quality is there too! I went ahead and got an extended warranty with it through Arvest Bank and only had to finance 10G's. Only down side so far is the...

Well, I finalized my truck with insurance and I am actually going to get some back, I really wasn't expecting it since I thought they would only pay off at best. I am also probably going to buy my brothers yellow Porsche Boxster for what he owes on it, which is about $12.000 (Not sure about that...

She died later that evening around 3 am. So a beat down is out of the question. the family doesn't have much money so suing them is out of the question as well. They (the family) are trying to say she quit smoking a month ago but I'm not buying that story, I think they are trying to sue the...

My neighbors oxygen tank exploded and set the duplex on fire, everything is a total loss. Yes I have insurance, but as you all know, they will not give me anywhere near what I have in the car. Thanks for your kind words of support.

On 10/23/09 My neighbor set her house on fire in a freak accident and in doing so destroyed my home as well as my car, truck and motorcycle. I lost everything. So I guess this means that I am no longer a DSM'er:cry: I am sure I will scan these forums from time to time. But the loss is pretty...

First let me say that I have searched the forum for the information i desire and have only found parts of what i need. I have just purchased a 1996 eagle talon tsi auto with a engine which has crankwalk. I am going to put in a 6 bolt jdm. I am searching for any information on the exact...

Can anyone tell me if clear/smoked tailights are still made and by who. Or why they don't still make them...they seem really popular. I am currently bidding and winning one on e-bay. Its the second one i have bid on. The first one went for quite a bit. and this one seems to be doing the same...

Four times too many here...

http://www.dsmtuners.com/sub.php?page=1gtupgradesTry this one ^^^ Its amazing what one can find on this site isn't it? All kidding aside though, I hope this helps alittle bit. Good luck with your new car man!

This maybe true, but lets face it, its the exception more then the rule. It wouldn't be a recommended path. the above statements prior to this one are correct. The original poster would do best to do a search on the subject. And its nice to hear that another DSM is being "unriced".

Here ya go...http://roadraceengineering.com/2gupgradepath.htm This worked for me and will give you a good start. You live just about 3 hours from me. If you can get down this way, I'll try to help you out.

I second that, what is it your trying to do?

Depends on what your goals are performance wise with your car, alittle more information would help out. Otherwise your asking an open ended question.

The harmonic balancer goes bad on all of these car's if it goes, there is a high probability that you'll have valve damage. How many miles does this car have? The timing belt needs replaced every 60,000 miles. I'm sure it will need a new battery since its been sitting so long. Wret is the man...

I like the name pointless, because I thought this was a performance oriented site, j/k. well, at least there is some info on your car, it sounds nice, but make sure you keep up with all the maintenance on her. Just call it "My precious"

I agree with Cs4g63 if something did happen along the way home you'd still end up with the expense of a tow, plus it would definetely sour your thoughts of your new car. How many miles are on the car? One thing I would check is the harmonic balancer. They crap out on our cars all to frequently...

easiest way would probably be you just going and getting it from a pull it yourself salvage yard, you may also see a few other things you need while your there. Just check your local yellow pages.

I'd bite the bullet on the charges and get the car out of their hands. Then get a second opinion, before letting them work on it. It can't hurt, and they may not know their aZZ from a hole in the ground. Did you see the bulge yourself? If it was diagnosed wrong, you might be able to sue them in...

Never had problems with mine,except having put my needles on too tight. These link's might help though.http://elgauges.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=2http://jeepin.com/features/glow/index.asphttp://www.americanmuscle.com/mustang-gauges-how-to.htmlIt should also be mentioned that...

They're simple to install, all you have to do is remove the needles and they just drop in, nothing to it.

I think within this thread it should also be mentioned for those who do not know it already that Don Polk was killed last month in an ATV accident, there is another thread on that. Needless to say, David (his brother) who is running the shop now, was devestated and is doing his best to keep the...

I had a Walbro 255 and it was bad from the beginning, since I got the Supra pump installed, not only is it quiet, it's not given me a problem not even once. So needless to say, I am not to keen on the Walbro brand personally.

I agree with the above statement. The CFDF is a fine piece. I have a 2600 and I like the feel of the heavier clutch (just personal preference) Defiant once told me and some will probably disagree with, but I am beginning to believe, and thats that " crankwalk is kinda like the lockness monster...

hope this helps out...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/90-94-1G-DSM-Eclipse-Talon-Center-Vent-Gauge-Pod_W0QQitemZ230125405911QQihZ013QQcategoryZ38661QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

why would you want too do that?

Great to hear its going to be on the road soon! Got by car back from the shop last week, all I need is the fuel injectors installed and dsm link. I also plan on getting level 2 or 3 heads, it still blows alittle smoke b/c of the blown turbo having sent some crap up through the head. Otherwise it...

I could hear my t-25 alot more then the current GT3071, but then again, for some reason the exhaust seems sooo much louder then I remember too...hhmmm....

I wouldn't, but if you do, let us know how it works out for you.

Thanks Bus ^^^ I felt that comment wasn't appropriate in this thread, but didn't want to comment on it. I never said they were currently the heads in use on his engines. Either way, it doesn't detract from the fact that Don's death was a great loss for all of us in the racing scene here in...

Thats great news out of this tragedy, I thought my car would be the last out of the shop, I am glad that he will be continuing the shop and the dream Don had, my best wishes to him and his family, God bless them all.

I think its very interesting, you should do a tech article on this subject.

Man Defiant, that's been a answer you've been giving in alot of threads lately it seems, probably the least reliable part of our cars huh?

Got any pictures yet?

This link will help you with the removal of the bumper, you'll just reverse the steps on installing the new bumper. Also, as said before, you'll have to get the 97-99 headlights to work with the new bumper. You can find alot of them on e-bay. Also, you will wanna check the threads in these...

Pictures? And the comment that it was a stupid question should have been left out of this thread. Even if you think it is. We all ask things that can be considered that, but lets just all work to help each other out.

You should really do some searching in the tech forum, this should help you out...http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97471

I'm sure it would be fine, got mine off e-bay and I had the same experience that VPrime had. Just because its purchased off e-bay doesn't mean that e-bay manufactures it, probably made by autometer or something like that, what you need to watch out for is the rating of the seller, more problems...

Thanks for putting the link up! I'll be visiting it soon...He will be missed by all of us who knew him.

This sounds alot like what I've just gone through, My car was in the shop last year getting the timing belt,oil pump and water pump changed out and new cams and lifters. When I got it back it lasted 9 days before the factory turbo went out, so in February I put it back in the shop to get the...

This is who I would check out if I were you: http://dsm.dejonpowerhouse.com/

I just wasn't smart enough to come up with anything clever. As much as my car has been broke down though, I should've had something like Piece_a_sh#t_dsm

Man can I tell you about Merkur's !! It's the only car I've ever had to even come close to the unreliablity of the DSM's. Man, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Sound familiar? I've had two of them and they are the first car's I had that were boosted, And so I guess I can trace my...

I searched their website but couldn't find the vent, can you put a link up? It would really be appreciated.

Now you know this isn't the S&M forum don't you? :D

Oh? I didn't say that I'd share it though....

Anytime man! Glad you like it, we'll be having our next meeting at Paul's house. You bring the chips and I'll bring the brew.

I remember seeing your car there, stopped by today to see the guy's, needless to say, the mood is pretty down. The whole crew there were a very tight knit group. I didn't realize that he had just gotten married back in December, my heart goes out to his family.

Wonder if anyone has told Shepard yet? Don did the heads on his car.

Yeah, Adam's been doing a bang up job on that car, someday soon hopefully he'll get it finished! I wouldn't want to race him at the track thats for sure. It would be no contest. He's done a top notch job with quality parts, wish it was my car.
