Hey all,
I have a question about registering vehicles in New Hampshire. Is there smog laws in this area? Do I have to demod my vehicles to pass the visual inspection when changing to New Hampshire plates? Currently own 4 DSMs. (2) 91s, a 97, and a 92. Was planning on bringing my 91 GSX to start...
RIP Paul. I grew up with the franchise and now my son loves it. Very sad. If Birdman was the driver I don't feel bad for that tool. But poor Paul, never let people drive your vehicles and I never let people drive insane with me in the passenger seat.
Yeah its quite a stretch from Arizona. Ive gone in my 1g from Yuma and it sure was a long trip. I plan on being out there this year whether I drag one or two of my dsm's out there or I just take my girls Honda, shes never been there so she wants to go and then take the kids to Universal or...
I ran a DNP manifold on my gst for a good 3 years before my 1g broke down. I live in Yuma, AZ where temps hit 115 in the summer. Held up like a champ even after racing every weekend in the 1/8th mile. After adding exhaust wrap which people say can cause your tubular manifold to crack, it still...
The first 2g (purple) has a blocked off recirc port on the intake. He's venting to atmosphere with his BOV so you might be stalling out every once in a while due to this. The last blue 2g looks half way decent. I picked up my GST for 2500 in 2004 I believe?, so I know you can get a better price...
That car looks mean. This is what i plan on doing to one of my talons since i have 4 dsms might as well make one different. Is this your car? Any more details? I was planning on possible extending the studs on the stock struts and adding a 1" to 2" spacer in between the shock and shock tower for...
I ordered one as well. Should be here by Saturday. I was actually wondering the length of the dvd. If anyone gets theirs before me if they could chime in.
Im surprised nobody has mentioned this yet but if your using arps than you need to drill out the holes on the head the studs go through for proper oil clearance. Bogus svo or a search should be able to chime in on how much more to drill it out. Thats an important step.
I love parts dinosaur. I get my timing kits and 3g lifters from them. They are located in Arizona as well so I get the parts the very next day. Only thing that sucks for me is paying in state sales tax =( Great guy and communication!
Got a bunch of parts but you gotta PM me a list of what you need exactly. Can't discuss things like this on a open forum. Then I can tell you what I have. Not sure every piece needed for the conversion for a N/T but I have a bunch of parts that will work towards acheiveing your goal..
My car is actually the color of your red Irish..Brighter red than his. Was just dark in my pic. Yeah nothing really special about Yuma. But its nice and quiet compared to other towns and I love offroading so its perfect for me. Wish there was a track for our cars closer by though.
Ive been meaning to go to Mexicali, the border town of Calexico. They have a whole highway with miles of junkyards. Figured it wasn't in town since there is not much selection of turbo dsms here. Dicks I believe scraped the (2) 1g turbos they had a few years back. Yeah I might shoot you a list...
Hey whats up man. Nice color on your spyder. Where are those pics taken at? The foothills area? Got 4 Dsms myself. Not much of a dsm crowd here in Yuma but there are a few of us around. Let me know if you ever need any help wrenching on it and I can give you a hand.
I would pass or give him a low ball offer. You can track down turbo 1gs with the same issues for a few hundred more or the same. Heck i bought one of my 1g awds for 500 with a blown hg. You just gotta look around. Of course then i took it apart and started planning big and dropping a lot of...
All the fuel pressure in the world is not gonna make the fuel injectors work if they are not activating. No clicking when spinning CAS as he stated. As stated in an above post, check your resistor pack. Probably loose connection.Sorry didn't read this post..
Gonna pick it up this weekend.. Wasn't planning on installing it though until it cools down some. I may get going on it sooner though. If I get it done early ill post some before and after pics but if not I won't bring a thread back from the dead. Trying to acquire the black center console from...
You should see spray but if your injectors are clogged completely and you keep turning your fuel pressure will probably shoot your injectors out and youll have a nice fuel mess. I would just unbolt the line that goes into the rail, rule that out, and if it gets good flow then attempt what you...
CAS maybe? Try unbolting the CAS and turning it manually with it still connected to your harness and key on the on position. You should hear the injectors clicking and spark as well. Make sure you pull your plug wires so your car doesn't start on you or unplug coilpack but then you cant listen...
Yes I was definately thinking that as well. I like the wrap but not the flat look, heard of people not liking the outcome after clear coating the wrap. Also where I live we have extreme 115 degree summers and so everything gets put through more abuse down here. You should see the sun fading that...
Okay thank you everyone for their comments. I definately won't lose sleep if I swap the vins out. I was more worried about how it would look when swapping the vins, as in looking obvious that some tampering was done, but it seems as if people have had good success with popping the rivets out and...
Yeah thats a good suggestion but looking at the links you provided it seems like people were saying painting your dash wouldnt stand up that well to the heat. Yuma AZ is one of the hottest and sunniest places in the u.s. so not sure how well that would work out for me. We get temps in the 115's...
Alright I would like to get some opinions before following through with a purchase. I have a grey interior 2g and I would really love to swap over to black interior starting with the dash. Im going to be getting a good deal on a black dash but before purchasing I wanted to ask everyone whos done...
I have a set of fno1rcs on my 2g 17x8 and they are pure sex. They look just as good on my 1gs. Not a big fan of the fno1rcs in black though, mine are silver. Those tenzo dc6s come in second though since they look pretty nice.
Man i love this thread..my black cars were always the worst to wash. Been getting lazy on my gold yukon since the spots dont show but will definately use the credit card and shammy technique in cracks.
Nobody said you couldnt be on here. I wanted to see what your car is/was gonna do at the shootout as well. You have an awesome car. Just so the points are made...But also dont turn this into the 3si forums and fuel the flames. Thats what i felt your doing especially snapping at the people...
Well with that type of setup you obviously have more control with link than maft. At least get yourself some type of cheap logger. Or does your wideband do that? I know zeitronix has logging software w the unit but not sure about the lc1. Get a cheap palm logger if you cant afford anything...
I was sticking up for you on page one but your starting to sound like an ass just like the people that are hating on you. They stated something and you proved them correct about how you hate. You flaunt your going to the shootout and then you flake out due to 3 people stating their opinions...
Wow cant believe i just read all 5 pages. I like the look of the rims but i would definately get that car farther in the air and put meatier tires on there. Your front bumper will love you later..
2gs are whales compared to 1gs..1gs are smaller and lighter and imo less expensive with easier maneuverabilty under the hood when modding. The 2gs are definately sexier though. I have both so i dont discriminate but i think those times are easier to achieve with a 1g and shells are definately...
Yeah i posted hella slow, so you had already answered my question by that time. Thanks..
I just cant stand haters that ruin a perfectly good thread and sound like dumbasses at the same time. Came to this thread to see this guys build/dyno and instead get a jealous hater. Sounds like the 3s...
Dude your a doucebag. Why don't you stop clowning on the OP and work on your grammer skills? I hope you get banned because this ain't the forum for your bs..OP, I as well would like to know what ATX stands for. Thanks and great job!
You weren't impatient. You were in the right. I try and ship out at least two days from purchase date if not the next day. Glad he got ahold of you and it worked out but you should not be getting a response back only after filing a claim. Even with the delay he could have let you know instead of...
Im sure my girl would like it if it was her car but not my cup of tea. I wanna do my headliner in black or grey suede, now that is a good look. Good job on the execution just not the design..
Looks really good! I was very interested as well to purchase from CFeclipse but this whole thread was worrying me. I know he said 600 for the combo but can you tell me how much he charged for shipping?
Left out the fuel pump..Evo or a walboro 190
Also dont forget the water pump while your doing the HG and get a new t belt tensioner. I wouldnt suggest using a "High End" gasket like a metal one unless block and head are both resurfaced.
What he said..Send your black box ecu to this guy and he will flash it for you for a fair price and then you dont have to worry about buying a tactrix cable and all that. Just plug your ecu back in when you get it from him. But you still have to install all your parts yourself. You should have...
San Diego? Theres plenty of help in SD. Snap I live in Yuma. I am the DSM scene down here, haha. Too bad no one else lives down here to help me out once in a while. I have 4 dsms currently and 1 on the build block right now. Oh how I wish I lived in the Phoenix area but without all the crime and...
When I put a new surface on one of my fidanzas I took it to a machine shop to be stepped correctly and when I got it back there was material removed. Im pretty positive you have to step the fidanza when you replace the surface as I did.I guess I was the only one that had good luck with the...
As both have stated its a good chance it is the linkage. I had this problem after skidding and hitting a pitbull that got lodged under car(pit survived if you can believe that!) on another non dsm vehicle. Ended up being the linkage got kinked and caused the auto tranny to get stuck and not be...
A bandaid that lasted me over 2k miles including around 20 track passes before I blew a headgasket and saved a ton of time over pulling a transmission over again after everything being reinstalled.
But yes I have gone the longer route as well on my 2g. I pulled my tranny out twice to get it...
