So, I've done a bit of searching on here and on a few other websites, but I'm still a bit confused on exactly what I would need, and how it would all go together, to have a working in dash carputer.My goal is to have an setup that would allow me to have access to my music library, Ipod...

I recently broke my front passenger side strut and during the removal, finally got a chance to take a closer look at the lowering springs that came on my car. It turns out that they're H&R Sport Springs.Being the curious type of person I am, I do a quick search on the part # that's stamped...

Curious to know if anybody has any information regarding how to take advantage of KYB's Lifetime Warranty on their struts. I recently had the lower "Spring Leg" on my front passenger side KYB strut completely detach from the strut assembly, causing the spring to fall (along with the rest of my...

I recently removed the black Cruise Control box on my 2g (the thing with all the pulley's inside of it) when doing an intake manifold install and am now trying to put it all back together. Does anyone have a diagram of how the cables are attached inside this black box? There's 3 pulley's, with...

Okay, so last weekend I was under my car doing an oil change and after checking out some parts that were freshly installed about 6 months ago, I realized that I need to wash the under side of my car in order to keep everything nice and clean and in working order. Any ideas out there on how the...

I bought a Diamond Audio D7 054 amp like 5 years ago and have never hooked it up. The specs along with a review on it can be found here: Diamond Audio Four Channel Car Amplifier - Car Audio and Electronics MagazineMy question is, since I've been out of the car audio scene for a while now...

Okay, so as we speak my old nasty carpet is soaking in a bucket of Oil Eaters degreaser after being pressure washed. While I've got my carpet out, I'm thinking of applying a DIY truck bed liner to the entire floor board area of my car (front and back passenger area along with the spare tire...

Take a look at these seats listed on ebay: eBay Motors: 2 BRIDE SEATS HONDA ACURA NISSAN TOYOTA GM GRADATION (item 110222664907 end time Feb-14-08 13:02:18 PST)The seller claims these to be 100% authentic although the price would suggest otherwise. To me they appear to be Yonaka Ronin...

Okay... so, forgive my ignorance in advance, but with all this brew-ha-ha regarding EVO III mani's with or without the EGR port, I'm still a bit confused as to what exactly screws into the the threaded EGR port on the actual manifold??With that said... what else do I need for my E3 mani to...

Curious to know if anyone has any experience with these? I'm in the process of reupholstering my old sunvisors and thought that maybe it'd be easier and cooler (read: more expensive) to throw in set of screens instead.My biggest concerns are fitment, appearance, and functionality. Install...

Okay, my buddy has his GST in my garage and on jackstands right now. We've got the entire OEM exhaust completely off and just about all of the Megan Racing 3" exhaust bolted up... with the exception of the last piece with the muffler on it.Our problem is getting the flange on the exhaust...

I'm thinking of getting DSMlink sometime in the near future and would like to have all the components in place before receiving the software. My question is... what laptop to get? I know that it needs to have a DB9 port, and that most older laptops have that... but I'd really like to get a...

So, here she is. This log is of a 1st gear launch and continues through til the end of 3rd gear. What kind of things should I be looking for? Anything strange showing up in here? Is that 'knock' at Time: 14:05?? Any advice would be much appreciated.Thanks

Curious to know how to read my IDC's using PocketLOGGER for my 2g?

WOW! We got dumped on here in Yakima... I think I brushed about 7-8" off the Yukon this morning. After work I think I'll have to take the Eclipse out and have a lil' AWD fun. Who else is gonna go out and do some noob drifting??

I was just digging around on ebay last night when I came across this dash kit: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=004&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=140156390645&rd=1 Has anyone ever bought THIS PARTICULAR KIT before? If so, how'd it look. Just so everyone...

I just picked up a Palm m515 and was about to order Pocketlogger for $125. I'm still leaning heavily towards doing this... but, would this...

Well, after the smoke cleared (literally) I realized that the time has come to quick dickin' around and finally get into this whole modding brew-ha-ha. Yup, my T25 is nothing more then a fancy, exhaust powered, smoke bomb. I'm about to tow my 2g down to English Racing in Vancouver, WA but before...

I'm about to buy a Palm so that I can start datalogging on my 2g. My question is which palm (or other brand) would be best? I've know that Palm m100's, 105's, and Palm IIIc's are good and cheap, but I'm looking to get something that is more versatile. Here is a list of some of the features I...

An auction on ebay for a Palm lllc states that it's missing the software and stylus. I know I can get a stylus anywhere, but what about the software. I have the feeling that this is a stupid question because nowadays you can download entire OS's. So, maybe the better question would be, where can...

I want to add a shift light to my arsenal of gauges but minus the tach. Now, I know that you can get stand alone shift lights, but what about cutting out the circle where the OEM boost/oil pressure gauge is and replacing it with an Autometer shift light (or any other stand alone shift light)? I...

Sorry if this is a bit lengthy, but I hate vague, non-informative questions...So, I've been working on this problem for quite some time now. My car lets out a puff of blue smoke during shifts and occasionly while coasting to a stop. Common sense would tell me that this is a valve seal...

I know there's a few threads on here regarding sebring interior parts... but what I'm wondering is if the sunroof assembly (and the parts that consist of it) from a 97 sebring are the same as the 2g eclipse? Mind you that i don't even know if the sebring's come w/ sunroofs.I'm also curious...

How to Remove Sunroof AssemblyHeadliner Removal:1. Remove sunroof open/close switch trim, both sun visors along with clips (disconnect electrical plugs), along with sunroof opening trim/molding. These parts should simply unscrew (except sunroof trim/molding, this simply comes off).2...

Just curious to know if anyone actively on here is from the Yakima, WA area?

So I recently finished replacing all my brake pads, adding SS brake lines, changed to slotted rotors, along with rebuilding my front calipers. Ever since then, my brake light stays on even when the e-brake is released. I drove it like this for about 2 days. I read that it could be the brake...

Can anyone reccomend a good in-dash DVD player (with screen) that won't cost me an arm and a leg? I'm thinking like $300ish. I realize I'm not going to be getting something super fancy, but I really don't see the need in spending $1500 on a deck.

So, recently I've installed an Autometer Water temp gauge. The biggest reason I wanted this gauge is because my stock water temp. gauge doesn't work properly. Occasionly it will rise a bit, but for the most part it just sits at the coolest point.Now, I've done the install like this...

About a week ago I recieved a flyer for Drift, Slide, Collide at Evergreen Speedway on July 14th. I was just curious as to whether or not anyone else has heard of this or plans on going. I'm leaning strongly towards going and thought it would be nice to see a few DSM'rs there.

So, i've got a leaky BISS as well and i tried unscrewing it out all the way in order to replace the o-ring... but couldn't get the BISS out. Is there some trick to this or what? I tried using a magnet but then realized the screw was plastic. What am i doing wrong or how do i get this thing out...

Okay, so i've been reading up on braking and suspension a lot over the past few days because I'm currently working on my GSX's brakes, but I want to maximize my time spent under the fenders. I'm on a limited budget so most everything will be OEM components.The car already came with...

^^^^ The best place I've found so far is Underbid.com and that's for $71.00 shipped. Does anyone know where to find these cheaper??

So, I'm trying to decide on a Camber Kit that I'm going to install myself. I found a complete front/rear kit from Ingalls on ebay for $187 shipped but it includes adjustable ball joints for the front which I've heard can a be a major PITA to install, so which makes me lean towards the adj...

Does anyone know where a good place would be to get the factory wiring harness for the stock stereo?? I'm talking about the harness that plugs directly into the back of the OEM stereo. Mine was clipped by the previous owner and as much as i swap decks, hard wiring it to the factory wires isn't...

OK, so i've done a pretty extensive search and haven't found anything similar or related to this in anyway. I also apologize ahead of time if this isn't the correct section to post something like this.How many of us DSMers have found themselves in need of a tow? How many of us dread seeing...

I just finished hooking up the lower nipple on my type S BOV by 'T'ing into my MBC>Compressor Housing Nipple. Before, i used to have a boost spike to about 15psi and would settle down around 11-12. Now, it's spiking to around 18 or so. I've got my MBC hooked up like this...

Okay, so before you start in on the bashing. I already know that a narrowband A/F gauge is pretty much useless (i'm a riceboy, i know). I just finished installing one in my car and hooked up by following RRE's instructions (i connected it to the O2 sensor wire, power wire, and ground wire all...

Does the Megan 3" Downpipe bolt up to the stock o2 housing? I've got an exhaust leak in the flex section of my stock DP and have read tons of great reviews on the Megan Exhaust systems.BTW, i'm already aware of the *fixed* DP, and to make sure i get it from a credible source.

So, a few months back I did my first boost leak test and found a crack in my stock UICP. I fixed it by using some JB Weld and was blown away at the difference in performance. Then after about a week or so I noticed the performance again start to decrease. So, last week I did another boot leak...
