Not to sound so offensive, but, things just don't seem the same anymore.I swear I remember a time when DSM'ers could go out of their way for one another and not get screwed over -- lend out tools; lend out extra parts. Members who were egger to offer their hard earned knowledge, egger to...

With the front of the vehicle off the ground and on jack-stands, are the front tires supposed to be able to turn freely with the rear wheels still on the ground -in gear or not in gear? When I turn one side of the cars front wheels -the other sides' tire rotates in the opposite direction as it...

Hello and let me say THANK YOU for taking AN interest in my most recent car trouble; let me also warn you that the post you are about to read is rather long and will get longer as I add UPDATES containing the relative info from member contributions and my own trial and error diagnosis.I...

This is an FYI in the hopes that it will help someone else with the same symptoms.Like the tittle says...Symptoms: The first thing that happened was an over-boost issue while accelerating onto the freeway one morning (lucky for me I noticed the gauge as this happened and was able to pull...

While setting the 'BoostEst' properties within DSMLink, I needed an altitude figure for where I'd be driving, and since Seattle and the Puget Sound area is mostly hills, I decided an average of my daily altitudes would be the most appropriate entry.The information below will make it easy to...

I'd like to suggest a floating garage meet for our local North Seattle members. I think it would be cool to get three or four DSM's together and meet up at someones house that has a decent work space / garage.This would give us all a chance to get to know each other and enjoy our cars. It...

I just picked up a manual rack and pinion for my 90 GSX and would like some simple opinions on whether or not the conversion is worht the trouble of removing my power steering equipment.Thanks

OK, i just read every thread that came up on a rear caliper search, and though the topic of pre 05/90 AWD rear brake caliper replacement came up, the question of whether or not you can replace sticking rear calipers from an early 1ga DSM installing the 'different' 91+ rear calipers was never...

The previous owner cut the springs on the dsm i'm... well was driving. I really just want to get my car back up and running and don't have a lot of money to dump into it. I tore through two sets of tires on the front and I'll not be doing any more of that!I'm wondering if there are any...

I know its not a good idea, and MAY even be illegal, but the way I see it is the engines not completely in the car so theres no driving to the nearest dealer to have it serviced and the systems has been empty for years now so how bad could it be?Can someone give me a run down on what "my...

I just realize I've never seen a post on repair job hour estimates.Isn't there a list for the hours it should take to complete repairs?If someone has a link or copy of some common repair tasks, could you post it.ie: timing belt, remove/install transmission, brakes...thx

I'll be getting the transmission sometime Tuesday the 2nd, hopefully early. I plan on starting the install that evening.I live in Lynnwood, a few minutes from Edmonds Community College.I'll also be putting the cyl. head back on and drivers side wheel hub & A-arm.TRANS BUILD -...

I've used a few places before, but thought I'd ask in case someone had a shop or could do the work themselves and wanted to speak up. ThanksPS I've been MIA for a bit, but should be back now. I just shipped my transmission off to Jack's and will use the down time to swap heads. I'm not sure...

I'm in the middle of a engine swap from fwd to awd and I have a decision to make.DO I SWAP IN A RACK AND PINION OR FIX THE LEAKS IN MY POWER STEERING AND PUT IT BACK??The AWD vehicle I'll be swapping over to has power steering. The problem there is that the previous owner did a...

I need to replace the inner seal on my driver side front wheel bearing because it has completely come apart. I discovered the problem about 200 miles ago but didn't have the time to replace it. Now I have grease all over everything and it needs to be taken care of.Can I just replace the...

UPDATE- Do not use just any old rubber to make your gaskets from. The stuff I used sucked and pressed its way into the intake track. Is was very strange looking when I pulled it out. It had formed its self into all the small passages and then hardened there like it was molder to do so. Not a...

I doubt I'm pushing even 300 hp.Not to sure yet, but I'm leaning toward Jacks.Less interested in who builds a better transmission, but what stage I should run. If I go stage 2, it'll take every last penny I have!Should I consider picking up a used 91+ for the build instead of my...

I've noticed this feature seem a little sporadic. 80% of the time it will hold my rpms just above 1k until I stop, but sometimes it seems to not work correctly.When the feature stops holding idle, I'll have issues with low idle at low peed; around 500rpms.I'd like to know if our car are...

Last year I made a heavy gage wire loom for my Hella 80/100w h4 bulbs and install it in my gst with dedicated relays run off the oem head light power.

This is more a heads up than how to article, but non the less; Its a point need made for those of us considering this increasingly common upgrade.The main problem faced when running this set up (2g pistons/ 1G rods/ 1G timing), is the combination of combustion chamber pressure and the...

I decided to tare down my old 14b on a whim last night and have been researching ever sense. I think I did it to learn more than any thing else, as its not a necessity in my current set up.I'm surprised at the rather limited selection of 14b rebuild kits readily available.The problem...
