Ok guys i have had this idea ive wanted to do on my silver 97 gst. I want to take niteshades (black out spray or regular black paint) and put down two circles taping off the two circles on the tails while painting over them.... It gives that sorta skyline replica look.... I just wonder what it...

Help Needed!

Hey man, i painted the interior of my old ford focus hatchback and it came out great. Go to wal mart and get you about 2-3 cans of Krylon FUSION ($4.98/can) and 2-3 cans of some VERY good clear coat. You need to apply a very good amount of clear coat. Even when rubbed continuously in spots, the...

well i dont exactly know how to check that? Just the bolts attached on the slave cylinder to the tranny? is this what u mean... I was thinking the same on the spring on the pedal as well, wonder how much that would cost to replace,.

haha oh boy today was a long day! I finally replaced that damn master cylinder... It was a bi*** to get to in certain areas but i looked on my old one and it was corroded and looked disfunctional on the the end of the rod by the rubber piece. So we afterwards we bleeded the clutch.. Not once nor...

and the fogs would STILL be on during bright that way too right?

Is there any kinda mod out there where you can run your fog lights along with running lights ONLY (no heads) ? I am trying to find some type of mod to do this. I used to own a ford focus svt and i did to my focus through hooking up some fuses together in the fuse box.

well first off i do not think that is crank walk. I checked my clutch fluid resevoir and as i expected.... bone dry... I looked right exactly where the clutch master cylinder is and it is leaking quite a goood amount.... I will finish this project tomorrow. My dad went to pick a new clutch...

Ok guys first off i have 130,000 miles on my car. It STILL has the stock clutch in it. From what i know, no clutch work has ever been performed. I have had this eclipse for about a year. It is my 5 spd i have ever owned, so it took some wearing getting used to it for a while. It took about 3...

Ok so i noticed a big problem with my car as some of you may i have read my thread(very bad overboosting!) My car was boosting outrageously.... So my recent idea was to just get a new wastegate actuator.... I thought my actuator probably wasnt opening. And well that was exactly the...

does it sound like an actuator problem is i can blow air into the actuator?

seems silly, but when was the last time you changed your radiator cap? seems stupid but my car over heated for a few days before my dumb ass figured out i need a new radiator cap.....

well, actually the mbc was removed a few days ago and all stock lines are hooked back up....... thanks for your posts by the way bro, i appreciate it...oh and just alittle piece of information when i was over boosting and all, I would get into about second gear and i would watch the gauge and...

i just hooked a bike pump onto the line to the actuator and the actuator itself is losing air pretty heavily......

ok well, i bought the faze boost vac gauge from advance auto parts for $50..... and i took the line off the wastegate actuator and blew air into it and i can hear air coming out of the actuator but i couldnt tell where exactly it came from.... so what do you think?

i dont have the tools to test it with (bicycle pump, something to fit the input) or i would.... im just getting a new actuator and seeing what happens

yep faze

would my over boosting have anything to do with the fact of tuning my blow off valve...becuase i have the greddy type s, which is tunable on the top....... would tuning it wrong give me this outcome?

yea sorry, i failed to mention that ..

i have checked all the lines in they were great yesterday but ill give it a second look....... my check engine light came on after we installed all my shit, autozone checked it out as just the mas sensor having malfunctioning.... but you think i could have a retarded mas sensor?

ok so today we tested the car and i have no visible leaks... we took my mbc off and reconnected the stock solenoid and everything back to normal..... the car is still acting up so i believe it may be the wastegate actuator acting up....do think this could be the solution to my problem? I hit 25...

ok well one of my buddies set up the MBC (which is set all the way out).... the mbc could never really be set properly it seemed.... it always just creeped wherever i set it anyway.... even with the mbc set all the way out it is creeping up to almost 20 psi with the pedal 3/4 way down..... and i...

Ok i had my uicp, hard intake, and joe b manual boost controller put on back in may or so... the first few nights the car ran great and felt a gain from the mbc (set at 14 psi, but still overboosted every once in a while)... about 2 weeks later i ran a boost leak test on it and it was leaking a...

RSR all the way!!!!!! sounds great

am i right though, this does not sound like a normal boost spiking does it?

haha, 122K miles

it was probably 3 weeks after i hooked it up that it started spiking really high....

the boost was at stock psi until i put the mbc on, then i turned it to 14 psi and it ran wop steadily at 14 psi, and then all of a sudden spiked to 25- 30 when i go wop, this happened like out of nowhere too.....what do you mean i have it reversed? Like i am turning the mbc the wrong way...

i have a t25 stock 2g turbo....Ok so i just recently had a new mbc put on my car (joe p) and my car was running great for quite a while.... and then all of a sudden when i got to get on it, i glance at my boost gauge and see that im running 25-30 psi... i know my boost gauge is correct because i...

yea i really like those tail lights painted (altezzas).... i would really love to take those altezzas like he did and paint everything silver to match my car except for the 3 circles... i thin that would look great!

yea brad i love your tails man they look so good! would you want to sell me that cover on there?

i wonder if it would look any better with 3 circles on each side, going smaller in size... ive seen those tails before for an eclipse, why not plus stock look

well it was just an idea, i didnt know if its been done before, im newer to the dsm world... I just liked it and thought i would see what everyone thought....

haha thanks for the comment on my paint job lol, it took about 30 minutes severe boredom.... pretty dorky i know but you know how you get when you have a turbo dsm in your hands :) i already have the motegi's, have had them for about 3 years now

its going on my silver gst....i have a carbon fiber hood hood, and dark black tint

does the supra side mount bolt right up with no modifying? Can you use the stock ic piping with it?

what do you guys think

hey guys just curious what you though of this..... im wanting to get it into the shop this weekend for painting ..... the pic is rough... haha i made it in paint! This is going on my Silver 97 GST (Carbon hood already plus dark tint)

actually i noticed horrible idle problems the second the cap must have came off. I had to rev to keep the car running, but now its running recirculated.... I LOVE RECIRCULATION :) no more OPEN AIR!

well i was just hoping for another post on the other one but it seems to have died off... tats why i posted on here

I was just curious what ALL can happen if you are venting your bov and the intake hole from the recirc. pipe is clogged with a bottle cap, and the bottle cap gets sucked into the intake? What all can happen if this takes place? Will the engine die or the turbo? Would it burn the cap off from the...

wouild it have been possible for air running through the intake to somehow push that cap out of the tube and not suck it into the intake but throw it out on the ground or something. I though only air gets sucked in through that/

im just afraid something will happen in the future with it... like in a month ill be driving and all of a sudden the engine blow up or something ya know lol....but this is the type of thing where i would notice a problem INSTANTLY wouldnt it? I feel almost like i need to sell the car asap or...

the car is acting perfectly normal.....i have not even heard any weird noises from it... i just stuck my recirc tube back on and acted like it didnt even happened. I dont see how it would have even been sucked in though because the top of the intake dump is hard ass plastic, the cap was really...

the bottle cap was stuck in with the ridges facing the outside, the cap stuck out about a half an inch out of the tube

well what would it be most likely to hurt? just the compressor wheel on the turbo?

well the bottle is an aquafina plastic cap, would there be anyway it just kinda "pass over everything" and hurt nothing?
