Safe to say the eclipse is gone.... with a garage full of little misc. stuff that i need to either throw away or sell... feels good/bad that the car is gone...Does everyone go through some sort of withdrawal when they sell their dsm?ROFLLet me know what you guys think...

Uhhh I donno, with the saleman sitting in the passenger seat, the car was just another honda... all noise and no go.. :thumb: Plus i realized how bad the car would be in the winter, lol...

For its weight I think its decent... switch on the ETC button along w/ manual shifting and it moves :).... alot more than I can say for the s2000 i ALMOST bought..

its a 01... sad since i wanted it in stick but i'm getting used to the E-shift nicely... but yes, its got the famous 2jz-ge motor in it :) I'm already looking for a manifold, hahaha i guess once you start modding you never stop modding...

7 bolts have both a CAS and a CPS.... my 96 had a CAS on the cam gears and a CPS on the crank...

I hear you.... that why i'm selling my car, you'll never feel the same way driving it again once you turn it to stock.

So compared to something like a mazda speed 3, it's not all that fast? One of my buddies said, s2000 are overpriced and underpowered... and the powerband is horrible..Really interested in getting one of these. Which should I go for, the older 2.0 or the newer 2.2?

Hey guys, haven't posted here in a while....Anyways.... i'm looking for some new/semi-used car ideas... since i've only had DSM on the brain for the last 2 years I dont really know what's out there.I was looking at an S2000, how good of a car would that be.Any suggestions, would be great..

Because the 35k car will have resell value, unlike your current car :)

It was something rod related, I swapped in a new built motor...

Ummm, 180 is good compression, so you might have added a little too much oil to get those high numbers.

My boss is into that low rider stuff, and I went with him once to a picnic, I think there were 2 cars riding on 28s or 30s i dont remember, the body was about 15' off the ground, lol..

DAMN! That looks like fun..:rocks:

In my case, like 50 degree hotter under hood temps. Which in effect, spreads to anything metal.. such as intercooler piping, ect..

Be sure you have no boost leaks either, once I had a crack in one of my couplers and it sounded like turbo whining after a certain rpm once it built like 10 psi. Boost leak test.

I guess its the, "before you start blowing shit up and start blaming AMS" tune... he told he for the price, he wasn't satisfied.

Mazda 3 or mazda speed3 if u can find one, or the is300 with a really, really big turbo ROFL

My buddy got his evo tuned by them, while they were still at their old shop, but he wasn't too satisfied with their "conservative" tune.. for what they did, he could have probably done it himself... good luck though, I heard it's a long list to wait for an appointment.:thumb:

I have everything besides the tubular manifold, and there is absolutely no way my car sounds like that beast... Out of all the 10 second cars on this site... this one sounds unique..

I've idolized this car for almost a year now, does anyone know how to get a dsm to sound like this? YouTube - Alex Shuster's TALON built and tuned by KAIZENSPEEDIt's like a machine gun is going off as it launches... is that just the 2step at like 8000 rpm along with antilag or?This car...

That's not entirely true... my t25 sucked at like 15-18 psi but once I put in some 272s it kicked harder than ever :thumb:

I really like it

You said you cleaned your injectors? Did you happen to reuse the old seals? Boost leak test.

I pay 56$ a month for liability... the car is under my father though...

Forgot to add, the built motor is kinda running funny.... compression in one of the cylinders is low.Ehhh, unless i try selling it as a whole w/ no running motor?....

Im getting tired of the money pit... and with gas prices going up... although its a 4 cylinder it eats up gas worse than a v8...Anyways, i've decided to part out the car and accept my loses...From whats in my profile and some misc stuff, how much can I be expecting to get by parting out...

Mine is only loud when the car is off... turned on via dsmlink.. otherwise i can't hear it when the car is running.

You people are sick!! I shed a tear everytime i see the odometer turn over another digit.I've had the car 3 years now, got it at 76000, she's at 79000 now ROFL She's earned the name "jackstand whore"

Alright, I was installing my new head and swapping over some parts and kind nicked the CAS, it didn't break in completely, but it did bend somewhat. I did my best to make it look like it did before, put a drop of crazy glue on it, it "looks" fine, my question is...After I timed everything...

What I did was use the nut to turn the rod, turn the nut all the way out so its at the end of the thread and then use a 12mm wrench to turn the nut even more. Depending on which way you want to turn the rod is up to you, but once you turn the nut forcing it to turn the rod, it should get the rod...

I just recently pulled my intake off, after about 2000 miles on the magnus gasket and it looks a bit warmed, all the runners seem to be disformed... don't know whether I should reuse it or not.

Ummm, my only guess to how this happened was i started to add more and more e85 and i might have ran a little too lean or something... The plugs are ngk e7s..So i was in the garage tuning and whatnot when all of a sudden the car began to idle like crap and i heard a loud tick tick tick and...

I think chicago was named #1 city with the highest gas prices... so i run e85...E85 = 3.45$ per gallon 93 octane = 4.35 per gallon 103 octane = 4.65 per gallon

Sure, just run it off the stock wastegate spring.

Someone once said that e85 will eat away at stock rubber lines? Is this true?

The turbo setup that came with my car has a knock off... i think it might be leaking at idle... since i feel exhaust coming out of the dump tube, but it seems to work nicely and roar under boost..

About these aerocatch locks, I see theres not much curve to them..I have this hoodAnd have my current pins going through the 2 humps somewhat... Would getting these aerocatch locks be a bad idea?( they won't sit flush with the hood?

Damn, that look sexy!! But umm, this may sound stupid, where would I get some of those little crimps ## using on the lines?

Its behind the intake manifold along the firewall... and i'm pretty sure the only way to get one now is either from mitsubishi themselves or from a donor car... i got mine off a part out car, good luck.:thumb:

http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/283574-dead-injector-wire.html I had this same problem about 3 months ago... it was that stupid resistor pack thing thats on the firewall.. good luck.

Damn... that thing must have soooo much slack it would have been quiet noticeable without DSMLink.... anyways, good work.

Damn it.... so thats what mine's ganna look like in a couple hundred miles... lol... Nice work

Thanks, i used to go to those meets a while ago, but learned quickly how unorganized they were, so i just started chilling @ white castle on belmont n harlem or @ strats... see yea around.:dsm:

Thanks, it does need some more TLC, like cleaning up the engine bay with some degreaser(just got done doing an engine swap) and put my spark plug cover on n such... but the engine bay is sooooo empty now, plenty of room for my meth kit, now that battery, cruise control n other crap is gone...

So I've had the car just a little under 2 years now I'd say (if my math is right) what do you guys think?BeforeAfter

Some say that the SSAC turns into complete crap when you throw a monstrous turbo on there, and are only good for about 450hp... but i'll see for myself soon enough.

So i fixed my leak, it was the oil pump seal... but just to make sure i'll try to break that son-bi*** crank bolt and do the crank seal aswell...Anyways, now i need more ideas guys, i'll take a picture during the day but this is how she looks @ night with a shitty camera..*dont mind the...

Found it... it was oil pump seal... guessing the guy was in a hurry when he put it in and didnt lube it up, old one was torn on the inside... Still getting a small mist, but it doesnt seem to look like oil anymore...
