HidekiHideki: your intake at the bumper looks way cleaner than mine. great job glad some one else thought my half baked idea was worth replicating.Just to put this to rest.sources of cold air At Idle include: 1 The cold air pipe from the bumper is much larger than the intake at...

sounds like your rear axles. check your cv joint :D.

I had a very similar process a while back. I had a major electrical issue with the stock key wiring. as well as a number of accessories driven by toggles, so i made a similar plate.Only I kept the heater controls and radio because I am a wuss.Right to left on the switches: ACC...

And yet can certainly lay a nice bead. haha (now picturing a guy with a really shaky hands welding...) i guess it could work if you moved at the right speed. ROFL

I love the crooked shaky mark up line next to the strait and perfect welds!:Dreally awesome looking pice of kit. no question this is the best of the best option for a lot of people.

Turned out great Andy!glad to see it all come together. have you decided what to do with sun visors yet.as for those who are concerned about weight. the thin vinyl is not much heavier than normal cloth. removing the back seat floor mats would more than make up the difference...

I might pass on that car. attention to detail is what makes motor setups last a long time. the builder of this car did not have that attribute.the fuel rail has been replaced with an aftermarket one. that's a good way to spend money, but the massive factory rail would have easily been able to...

ok it sounds like you may have two different problems.we run a 14v system, you should always be seeing around that voltage when driving. so you need to look into your charging system if that's not he case.there are two things that are most likely to cause the behavior that you are...

Two oil filters are commonly used with 3in downpipes. either the evo oil filter, which as said is half the length the normal dsm filter. Or the standard miata oil filter which is slightly smaller than the stock and has the same threading and diameter.the thing to remember is that a smaller...

Ill chime in on this too.In my opinion he is over boosting. plugs are coming out lean, and he is a damn sight quicker than... well then he should be. I have run with my fair share of eclipses, his is quicker than quite a few... and his is stock, which is.. um, interesting. My little t28...

very interested in this thread. I have a friend who just picked up a 16g equipped 2g. we have a lot of inadequacies to address with the installed turbo/IC system.how do you feel about the WG function on with the actuator being placed at that angle compared to its original mounting position.

I got messages the same hr I posted this. We were able to pick up two injectors local and free by the afternoon and get his car back on the road by that night.THANKS TO EVERYONE> I cant believe how many people offered up their parts so quickly. this community kicks ass.

legally the exhaust must exit to the rear of the last door. so on our cars just behind the drivers butt.a side exit from the bumper wont make too many cops happy around me. mostly because of volume. If you were to put a muffler inline some how then it would be a little better but remember...

In a moment of charity my friend lent out his injector from his Transmission-less project car to another DSMer who was stranded so that he could get home for thanksgiving. But the injector never got sent back to him.so now the trans is in and he cant get the car on the road till he can buy...

no sorry. i have two spare turbo fuel pump.. but no mounting hardware.

andy's garage is a good option. its a bit cold, but we got heaters and a grill. it could work

ha ha perhaps, perhaps. i suppose it could just be a gap in the funding on my end. ROFL

and thats why your competition does not stand a chance. on something as important as heat extraction most of the teams will stop at good enough on a single hood design..

wow thats a fairly serious overhaul. would love to do that to my car... but thats so far down on the list.

i belive it bumps up the idle when under ps load. similar to the ac idle correction.mostly useless. i have never had my car stall with out it. im sure its fine.

well should we just get a list of who's got a garage.

that broke off my ps a long time ago. you dont really need it. i know of several people who dont have it or its not hooked up.

lock this thread.To each his own. but this 12yr old bickering and 7 pages of arguments on looks (OPINION) belongs on some honda site.your DSMers for god sakes! all of you.lock this thread before it does more damage to the DSMers already bad reputation.

sup.I'm in honey brook. got a guy with a mint 1g in collegeville. and a buddy of mine just picked up a 95 last night. all talons. you being the only one with a 2gb bumper, you should probably watch your back.... :Dwell have to do an all talon meet some time. talons only, only awd. gotta set...

eh. depends on what your doing, if you want a good looking car that can really perform the 2g is a perfect car.but the 1g is designed with rally in mind, it has far less body flex. its suspension is able to handle more abuse and the motor was designed with out the "feel good" compromises of...

i actually just looked at that hood and I am considering it. I really like that it is offered in fiberglass rather that fiberglass with 1 layer of CF over it at twice the price lol.It appears as though the underside has a shell to block up the vets and keep the weather out. which would...

first off everyone needs to calm down & remember that its all opinion. If the op likes the look that's fine.it think the evo 8 wheels are about as flush as are necessary myself. but any time you have to adjust your camber to fit wheels under it and ruin your ride and handling for a look...

so now what you really need to do is stick a 4g63 AWD under a miata.... then your all set lol.I would seriously recommend doing some stitch welding while you waiting on the motor. you will feel the difference from the seat next spring. even with the same suspension your car will feel much...

lol. almost a year later the image is finally the proper way around. haha.my engine-bay doesn't even remotely look like that now! point to anything in that picture other than the valve cover and the intake manifold and i have replaced it.battery relocated, IC pipes, new bov, relocated...

funny thing about that. with a welded center and any 2 wheels off the ground (or disconnected) all the power will still make it to the ground via what ever wheels are touching. yes the remaining axles will still be spinning at the same rate but they will be using virtually no power.so...

yeaaaaa. eventually people grow out of em.i have had a half dozen cars since i was 16. and i have made a point to try every engine and drive-train i could. Camaro, rx7, crx, 1/2 of a miata & 2.5rs, Mr2 and now the dsm. I have made a point on doing my homework and finding the best performance...

True! But we aint dealin' with no miata are we fatty. :pI give infinite points to anyone who gets their car out to the track, doubly so if its there actual DD and triple bonus score for an only car. thats right (infinityx2 + triple-bonus-score). its science, you might not understand...

I too have a great deal of very interesting picture of salt lines at highway speed. I have them from different angles and all outlined to show the patterns. If anyone is interested i could dig them out of the home computer.this also may be of interest to the OP. I have a good relationship...

gallant looks good. any better pics of the whole car?anyone dig up anymore information about the Clear. I am interested in hearing more.

Drew, there is no way to quantify just how far you have advanced the reputation and performance of these cars, but I hope you sleep easier knowing that it is by leaps and bounds.Its absolutely insane that you are offering *Your* aero package to the community. equally ridiculous that you are...

here it is on the car.the reason the whole pic is so gray is because it had just started lightly snowin.got those tires on just in time. :)

^ Chris you still need to fill out your car profile.Its possible that investing in a new turbo elbow could help the WG bleed off the boost. but i cant say for sure because your profile isnt filled out and i have no idea whats done to your car other than the 16g.the best investment would...

i did start working on a second version with a clamping lid. I dont know how many people would actually be interested in the setup as i have it. It does require riveting the air funnel to your bumper, and relocating the fuse box to lower in the bay.I could easily make brackets for the fusebox...

I dont have pics of the wheels on the car yet because i cant find the Frackin stock wheel lugs. I got bags of these damn tuner lugs though.

lol you still have his injector, and i just ordered him a new flywheel.

try doing it inside ROFLit took about two cans to do the wheels for what its worth to anyone.I did not do the entire back side, just made a significant amount of overlap behind the spokes so the 'dip did not end on a seem.

actually there are alot of rules for those events. including some of the most stringent safety restrictions you find in amateur racing. Obviously the rules change depending on what series your involved in.. but none the less all major 'shows' have quite comprehensive rule books.that...

now you just knew i was going to click on that link!hows that beater running?

well ya... if you wanted to do it 'right'. Pish, this is plasti dip man Not powdercoat. :pIts 20 some degrees in the garage right now. i am doing this in the spare storage room :thumb:I honestly do believe that i would need media blast the inside of these rims to get them 'Clean' after...

Yes Layers are your freind! it just melts into the old coat!i am doing some touch up on few of the wheels. Note to those that do the stock wheels. water gets into the seem between the 'swirl' and the hoop. it repels the plasti-dip, I am betting if saltwater gets in there and there is a gap...

imagine sliding a car with enough grip to just fall over! the look on schumacher's face is priceless. & she was a class act about it.<object width='428' height='352' classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' id='SFID016554228495806456'><param name='movie'...

the list looks good.regular arp's will do fine at that power level. but you didnt mention compression ratio. pick that to match your turbo and fuel type now(e85, pump 93 ect..). we can assume at this point you will get the fuel and tuning side done when you put the car together.on the...

Yea I am a big believer in snow tires. I have pulled a jeep (4cyl no lockers & all seasons) out of a ditch with them using my spare tire as a tow point, and seen a police suv under-steer into a guard rail when trying to pull out to see "who the heck was off their rocker enough to drive in...

mostly the lighting. notice how shiny the stock faded alloy appears in the first pic.

Decided that the winter wheels and tires would look better if the stock swirlies were black.I usually hate painted wheels but i have to say this looks really great. I just cleaned them up really thoroughly and then began painting. I have used plasti dip on a lot of stuff but never wheels. I...
