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...

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..

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

Dont know where to put this but, seeing as how i can't fix my damn oil leak i've taken my attention to other parts of the car, so far i've Nightshaded EVERYTHING; headlights, reverse lights every kinda light.... so I was wondering what kind of intercooler templates or ideas you might have...

Well i'm going through a motor swap, and i'm just about finished... she turns over nicely... Oil is shooting all over the timing beltBalance shaft eliminated..... not leaking from there...So what am i looking at here guys? Crank seal, oil pump seal, front case gasket?? What else could...

Well, yesterday I started getting some unusual ticking noises as I was driving home. First thing that came to mind, was my new wheels I put on were rubbing against the fender liner... but it wasn't that.I'm really hoping it's a collapsed lifter, but I don't really know.Here's whats going on...

I just noticed this today when i went to change my front pads... my passenger side is completely worn away, maybe 1mm left of surface, while my drivers side has a good 3mm left of surface... what could this be caused by?

Ok so umm i feel like a complete idiot right now.... i drove the car home from work... parked it... everything was fine! I got to work on the car an hour later; take out the rest of my A/C lines and disconnect my EGR stuff.. so i do that... pulled the rest of the A/C stuff... and capped and...

So i was driving my car normally when all of a sudden i shifted and it kinda bogged... when i gave it some gas it bogged even more... Pulled over and it threw a injector malfunction 4, it idles but idles on 3 cylinders... which makes it sound like a tractor..Anywho, i limped home...

Well while browsing youtube, I found this to be quiet interesting....<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9-b44IoZF4U&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9-b44IoZF4U&rel=1"...

Got a problem, don't know what its related to.... I'm guessing either fuel or ignition. This seems to happen in 1st gear only.When I floor it, once the rpms go over 5k I'd say it sounds like the car is misfiring like CRAZY, like RAPAPAPRA, really rapidly, the rpm continue to rise, but the...

Ok, so I got myself a 1g crushed BOV... after my Type S decided to tear a diaphragm..Anywho, I pressure tested the BOV and it leaked @ 18 psi, but that's not the problem. Problem is, I don't know if it's working or not, lol. Is there any other way of knowing if your BOV is working properly...

Seems I can't post this up in the Tech section, so I'll just do this here.This is an extremely simple and effective way to dump your hot waste gate gases without melting alternators, or wire harnesses.Parts needed: General tools, flexible exhaust piece(picture below) you can get these at...

I just installed my new turbo setup, and it looked extremely promising.It's a 35r with a external WG mounted on the manifold.Here seems to be the problem, I didn't change ANYTHING between my old turbo(50 trim) to this one besides the obvious; manifold, WG, and o2 housing.The car...

Just thought to myself, how many of you drive around with the CEL illuminated?EDIT: Well to clear up the question, like for instance, you have no catalytic converter and you know your rear o2 sensor is throwing the code, or your disconnected your EGR and its throwing a code.

I tried searching, and doing a little bit of research on this.. but was unsuccessful.My question is, can e85 be used as an octane booster? Like get 50/50 of 93 + E85... or it doesn't work like that?Sorry if this is a retarded question, but 93 is getting kind of expensive around here, and...

Hey guys, did my first clutch install.... boy was it fun! Anyways, got the car started after checking and rechecking everything... only to find that something is wrong, like i suspected..Here's the problem, I can put the car into 1st gear when car is off, start without the clutch pedal at all...

I'm having trouble figuring out which way the disk needs to face, I found this thread. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/242473-clutch-disk-direction.html But it seems that both sides the springs come out the same amount. On one side it has the brand of the disk and whatnot, and...

Hey guys haven't been on here in a while been having some issues... The clutch finally decided to give out.. and its perfect timing too just as soon as the ground is about to freeze. I was looking over this thread which is very helpful but I wanted to just check in with you guys before I place...

I want to finally get this right, last time i did it, MBC did nothing. Went onto RRE and found both of these pictures. Though they dont seem to be routed the same, which would be best? Also, I'm trying to run my Greddy Type S lower nipple for anti-surge(i think that's what its called) off the...

Well i got my fuel supporting mods in place last weekend, and the car has some real balls now, I think dsmlink recorded 34lb/min @ 11 psi.... my question is. I took it on the highway to do some pulls and I know it's slipping, 3rd holds up barely, if I feather the gas, once I slam on it WOT, it...

This has become annoying... I've replaced 1 valve cover once, after painting it all nice, i followed manual torque specs to bolt down the valve cover and cracked it. So i got a new one. This one i made sure, but i'm still getting oil inside the valve cover spark plug bay area.... I replaced my...

All was well until about a week ago, my car got hit with some heavy rain.Now for some reason the timer won't time. It just turns off with the ignition, it doesn't lose power, it says 'OFF' and just turns off.Is there anything that could have gotten screwed up from the rain.I'm using...

This is something weird that none of my friends could answer. I hydrolocked my engine today, atleast I think. Car drove into a puddle, wheel kicked up water into the filter, poof car stalled. I tried cranking it over, but got no rotation from the crank. So i got it home, sucked out the water...

Having problems with my new VIS dual vent cf hood. Did anyone else have problems having the hood close? It gets about halfway in the lock and just doesn't go any farther, there's no "click".. I tried fiddling with the lock tried moving it up and whatnot, but no luck. Anyone have any experience...

Hey guys, been having this annoying little problem, hopefully it's not a sign of a bigger problem but, while car is in neutral there's a faint squeaking sound coming from the engine bay, it's audible while in the cabin. It seems to go away only when I depress the clutch, but not all the way, it...

Hey guys, I recently started getting extremely good mpg after i got timing right and a bigger turbo to keep me out of boost more. But I've had this problem where, needle is buried at empty, light's been on for days, and when I go to fill up it'll only take 13 gallons. Yesterday I drove her...

I installed my new turbo and am wondering where's the spool sound? I was expecting something monstrously loud in terms of spoolage...I went from the T25 with rubber snorkel which sounded like a jet airplaneTOa Bullseye 50Trim with a 4" FP intake, and it's dead silent once boost kicks...

Was just wondering if anyone is planning on going to a track anytime soon, I was thinking Great Lakes, but I heard there's one in Joliet aswell. I got a buddy who's dad runs a funny car, but he's being lazy or someshit, and isn't going anytime soon.Anyways, let me know if anyone is going to...

Hey guys, I just installed my new turbo and am having a major problem. What would you suggest to stop the leak on the oil feed end of the turbo. It's like a running facet, thats how bad it is.I'm running a 1/4flared to a 1/8 compression then to 1/4flared end to a SS oil line. It's leaking...

Hey guys, finally got around to the turbo swap... currently in progress so I'll post up pictures as I go along.... Let me know how i'm going and If there's any suggestions. Enjoy.Taking off the T25 was a piece of cake with the right tools and breaker bar... this was necessary... hardest thing...

Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever had their car almost fix itself? I've started calling my car Christine like in the old movie about the killer car. When I bought the car, it had a problem with the horn sounding like it an airhorn out of air.. but one day, it just started working again...

I'm pretty sure that's the right size... I've tried all over town, until I finally remember where I got my original one which I snapped on accident. It came with my Autometer Oil pressure. Anyone know any online vendors that may have it?Correct me if I'm wrong, but the guy @ ace said it was...

Anyone see it? I thought it was great! Not many movies get me jumping, but this one sure did. Hope there's a 3rd one... most likely will be, but i won't ruin the story.

Hey guys, finally got myself a turbo coming in.:) bought it from a local member here, it was the Bulleye 50 trim in the classifieds. Any who, SBR is kinda difficult to reach, and with my phone being really hard to hear anything, Bullseye tried to help, but kinda couldn't answer my question. I'm...

I was replacing the balanceshaft belt... and well I forgot to take off the sensor.. heard a crack. I tried crazy glue to put the 2 pieces together, but that doesn't seem to be working. No spark :( timing is good. There doesn't seem to be anything mechanical or electrical in the piece that broke...

Can someone help me out with this? Today's been a pretty ongoing day... I've got all the other timing marks set, or so it seems, except the crankshaft sprocket.. I can't find the timing marks, maybe I did, there's a couple of white lines on it and a notch along the outside rim. Maybe the...

Hey guys, I'm sorry if this is another "which turbo is best for me", I'm hoping it's not, because I've done most of my reading and researching. So it seems as though the MHI 20g is looking quiet nicely, with my particular upgrades.. along with the turbo I'd be getting the 255 Walbro rewired and...

It looks possibly like it could be off by a tooth, since the marks aren't pointing at one another nor will they if I continue to turn the cam gears. Can anyone confirm the timing is supposed to look like that, or it's off? At this point i'm checking everything on the damn car to find out why...

Has anyone ever had the problem of their biss screw just leaking boost no matter what? I replaced the oring and the screw, got it from JNZtuning. Leaked as soon as I got my idle right. Put the cap on, next time I opened the hood cap was gone..... so i thought maybe i need another oring, same...

Car was hit in early winter when I was at school, liability sucks.. but it's a 11 year old car.:( I already replaced the front pass. fender and headlights, along with bumper. Here's the problem, the hood doesn't close properly, I'm not sure if it shifted, but it sits along the fender on the...

I've been messing around with weird setups for my FMIC since early fall when I found out my stock one looked like it was swiss cheese(alot of holes). Anywho, I've posted pictures and routes I decided to take in other threads, but today I just got pissed off, took off the bumper and did it...

Would one of these be of any use? Or just the design? Was browsing through the site and found this, anyone? http://www.modacar.com/products/Mitsubishi/Eclipse/GEVMAN/Golden+Eagle+Vacuum+Manif.html

It may be me, or I'm not doing it right, but it seems that what I thought NLTS is, really isn't. Could someone please explain to me exactly how i'm supposed to be doing it? I hooked up DSMLink a couple of months back(runs great), but decided to wait till weather got warmer to install the wire...
