I assume gains should see a minimal difference at best when choosing either/or, but should I use the K&N FIPK or spend much less and buy the MAS to 3" filter adapter plate and just purchase a K&N conical filter. The only thing I can really justify spending the extra 40 or so on the FIPK would...
sorry ive searched around for this and i dont know where to find it but if somebody could tell me something.... Uh im looking for 18x8 inche rollers and i came across the ones I wanted. They offer two bolt patterns.. 5x100/114.3 and 5x112/120? i have a 2G by the way... somebody please help me...
This will change the world, if it catches on. Notice how the most brilliant things, always just kinda fall through? Strange... I wanna say the big oil giants wont let this one happen. THey'll lose too much money. And water shortage? Has anybody noticed the uhhh... oh yeah. THE MOTHER####IN...
Hm. Never thought I'd say this BUT.... minus the wing, the ricerboiracer tails, that silly "snout" thing, and the white wheels, if I saw this car, I would have to pick my jaw off the floor. I hate rice... HATE it. But the money and effort that went into this car is second to none. MAJOR...
Hey toybreaker, thanks for the input man. And for what I beleive will be one of the final updates to this problem. The bottom line is, the dealership lied to me. They said they had repplaced ALL blown fuses. Wrong. Under the hood, my headlight fuse, horn fuse, and numerous others were bad...
Alright heres a bit of an update. I got my alternator checked and its bad, so I'll be replacing that. As mentioned earlier, I checked for any loose or cut wires that might affect anything. To my suprise, when perusing around my engine bay, I found what looked to be a severed wire coming out...
Well honestly, I've never touched anything electrical on this car whatsoever, except the boost guage light, which i used the power wire and the ground that lit up my cigarette lighter. As far as the horn, it's always worked perfectly. Tomorrow, I'll be really looking into a lot of things, and...
Update: The new ECU, along with a cam and crank angle sensor seemed to do the trick for the most part. They say the alternator is good, but I plan on going to autozone and getting that checked out for sure. Also, the service guy says there is a draw somewhere in the system, and to not let the...
You can DEFINATELY tell what era it came from. Good ol' mid-late 90's. Has the whale-tail curved spoiler. I like it, it's unique, but nothing I could justify spending megabucks on. Id much rather a new Z06 Vette.... can I say that here? lol
Wow GTM, thanks so much for the input, thats really a lot of good information. I actually emailed this to my service guy at lipscomb and he said he would copy this and post it in the shop for his guys to look at everytime an electrical problem comes up. He gave me a short list of items I would...
Yeah, it was the liquid fuel coming out of the exhaust ports. That has since been drained and new fuses were put in to take care of the fuel pump problem. So that has been taken care of. And yes, I was worried about turning the engine ccw, but my main concern was to find some kind of problem...
Honestly, DSMlink isn't going to be necessary. This is just a daily driver that, at most, will have a 16g with supporting mods on medium boost. Most likely tuned with just a wideband or even an AFC. This isnt ever going to be a race car, or dynoqueen, just a reliably quick daily driver. Most...
Thanks for the help guys. Mitsu seems to think its my ECU, and possibly some other problems. THeir tearing into the car to figure it out. I found a good ECU on here to replace this one just in case. The dealer wants to charge me over a grand for a new ECU if they have to replace it...
Car hasnt been running since saturday due to some unknown electrical problems. Ate a battery, fried some things, completely went haywire when driving down the highway. Engine became hydrolocked with fuel AFTER I shut the car down and had it to the side of the road. Fuel pump was stuck on...
Keep in mind, Jackie Chan played in that huge foreign racing movie, and he raced for Mitsubishi. Drove an FTO, EVO, and a 3KGT. It was all JGTC shit. Terribile movie, pretty cool cars though. The movie was back in 95...
The other day when making a lengthy return trip, my car stalled out on the middle of the interstate. My sunroof popped open, all my warning lights flashed, my guages went all the way up and down, and the windshield wipers came on pretty hardcore.After pulling the car over and popping the...
I have a GReddy Type S, on the T-25 with hard intercooler piping, running about 17lbs and it flutters on low boost discharge. So I think it's normal, but I've never heard about that on any other BOV
Yeah, I figure I'll replace the battery, throw on a test pipe, and clean the EGR valve, as I was told by a local DSM'r its probably dirty. Thanks for the help!
Alright, so after working on my car and getting everything back to somewhat normal conditions, I've found a few things still problematic and I'm not sure of my diagnosis. The problem is, at idle, and low to no boost driving, I get the WORST smell in my car. Rotten eggs, burnt hair, and...
So today I was driving like normal, had the boost set to about 13lbs, pretty mild, but it had been making some weird noises, so I figured I'd keep it light. I went to accelerate past a car that had just turned off the highway. The boost reached about 14psi and as my revs got to about 5k...
I installed my U/LIPC and GReddy type S BOV a few nights ago. After getting my boost dialed in to about 15/16 psi, and my BOV where I thought was the right spot I'm getting some crazy noises. First off, when I'm in boost, there's this horrific wailing/screaming sound. The first time it made...
Hm... If you ask me its not political but more of a story/idea. As I said, I'm not political. Sucks that such an interesting thing would just be locked out for discussion. I too wonder where the real flight 93 is. What I think? Some higher ups took the passengers off, like was said, and fed...
Loose change is a documentary based on the events of 9/11. I know what your thinking, oh great, another 9/11 vid. Thats what I thought too. Five minutes into it and my jaw was on the floor and my eyes glued. Sit down, crack a beer, and be ready to be blown away.PS. I'm not political...
Alright, I've got an update for my situation, hope somebody can shed some light. i'll jump straight to it. I disconnected my hose coming from my wastegate to my MBC and took it for a spin. Results: 13PSI tops. Wouldnt boost past that. So, that being said, I think at 13psi, my stock BOV is...
HAHA your a tool if you stick with this one. She just doesn't want to spend that much time with you. It's pretty obvious that your clingy and not very fun, whereas her guy friends are cool, gonna be around to have a good time. Do you cry alot? Sorry if its harsh, but drop this girl like shes...
Insurance companies aren't stupid. They know they have damn near 300 HP from the factory. They know the reviews. They know their turbo. Just because it has more than two doors, doesn't make it cheap to insure.
Yuck. The only cool Type R was the Integra Type R. Good buddy of mine owned one back in the day. That car was so rigid. No bells, no whistles, barely any sound deadening. Suspension was tough. I for one stand by the fact that if it's that big, has heated seats, navigation, and a million...
Enlarged Muffer Outlet ticket? WTF?! What state are you in? I'll have to make a note to never go there. Thats the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. What about factory vehicles with "large" exhaust outlet tips? Whats the legal limit? I can't beleive some of the crazy things peoples'...
I also sell phones for T-Mobile. I just work at an authorized dealer, making 8 bucks an hour, but factor in commission for activations and I make roughly a thousand a month. It's perfect for me and I'm only 20, going full time to college.
Yeah I'm pretty positive I'm not leaking out the boost guage tap... RTV works wonders. As soon as I'm out of class here, I'm heading to my apartment to mess with everything. Thanks, I'll let you all know.
As far as my boost guage goes, I installed it on the vacuum hose coming out of the IM on the drivers side; seems to be a typical spot to tap it. I even used brass fittings. :) I'll try to get some pics up. And yes, I'm still running my stock I/C piping. I beleive I mentioned I was stock...
Okay I turned the MBC all the way in and still no more boost than 13lbs. I'm nearly certain it's the boost leak. I didn't think it would be that dramatic of a change... is there anything I'm overlooking?
Alright, I installed my Dejontool MBC this afternoon and per directions backed the screw out to a point in which I could barely blow air through, and set the lock nut. (I also made sure and installed the MBC correct, as I've been reading of DSMers hooking up the wrong hoses to the wrong...
Um... wow. Honestly, that's pretty cool. I have an A/T and I'm not sure if I'd want that but the concept is great. I'm sure it wont work as good as they say it will. Considering if I'm in overdrive and unclick the button, my tranny SLAMS it down to the lower gear. My gears in general are...
Okay, I had GR-2's on my old 2G with a 2" or so drop via some cheap ricer sleeve style coilovers from ebay. (I've grown up.) I regret even messing with it at all. It was THE MOST horrible thing I have ever ridden in. So uncomfortable. You can make your own camber kit with some washers and a...
God's Debris by Scott Adams... Just a little something to twist your mind, its not a religeous book per se, and nothing is being preached. It's a GREAT read. BTW Scott Adams is the guy who makes the Dilbert comics
Hey, I have the same leak! It's right at the TB Elbow||TB gasket or somewhere in that region. I thought it was normal at first but it hisses LOUD with just a few pumps of a bike pump. Even worse with a compressor. From what it showed me, it only held 3-5 PSi. Not good. I hope I can get...

Wow, great looking car! Too bad there arent any clean sides and rear to match the lowness of that lip. Speaking of that, as another member quoted in the appearence thread, thats a lot of money riding VERY close to the ground. lol. The GN+ look amazing!! All in all, a very true testament of a...
Hey I just recently got back into the DSM scene again, and while looking for a replacement front bumper for the new 2G, I stumbled accross this. HOPEFULLY not a repost. Oh well if so, this lip looks great! Somebody do a photoshop...
