As the title states. Buying a set today. 5th seems good for the highway, street legal road course track car. Is the 5th a stupid idea? I don't recall getting out of 4th much... Any highly competitive builds running the evo 5th or is it too tall? I'm not sure I'm going highly competitive but this...

I am trying to come up with some ideas on the best option to bolt the arms to the chassis. I ve seen muscle cars with them bolted to the sides of the frame or where the bumper would go. Since our crash beam bolts on from underneath, that would be another option using factory crash beam bolt...

Feel like showing off as a teaser prequel to a build thread :) Project resto and street legal racecar. I think I need a rotisserie and mig now ...:sneaky:Still uploading pictures from like the beginning of time to Flickr for a history/build thread.LoweredCF hatchHood broke, that...

I ve never seen anyone mention these. Not sure if anyone knows what I am talking about without pics?There are two rectangular flat metal pieces on each side, right in the corners near the windshield/below the side mirrors. Held on with 2 bolts, nothing attached or held on to them. I ve got...

I am just curious and would like some input from the smart people on my spring rate choices for my hypercoils on koni yellows. I am trying to build a road legal car that I want to race on the local road course. It has a CF hood and hatch and rear FAL windows. I am building a 6 bolt right now for...

Part 1 While cutting out the passenger side rad support to get FMIC piping through, I accidentlily drilled into the wiring harness a few times. Took a chunk out of 2 wires. I m so pissed because I knew where it was and I was trying to be super carefull, but I definately got 2 wires and sparks...

Hey guys Im having problems finding the size and amount of crush washers I need to swap on the 14b. Help please? I did all the searching that dial up can handle Lol. I have almost everything ready to go, just need the damn crushwashers, and new vacuum lines, coolant, rubber coolant hose, and a...

The bare metal skeleton wieghed aprox. 33 lbs, the CF wieghs aprox. 13 lbs The defroster still works, extended the ground wire to the otherside of the hatch. It is grounded into the ground wire in the harness for the 3rd brake light and wiper. With stock glass it is heavy and rigid enough to...

Thought I d share some new pics, sorry about the small size, its the best dial up could pull off. Lowered on illuminas and FWD tein S techs. the fwd springs havent caused any real issues. After driving the car a year in AWD rally mode, it shure was an improvement :sneaky:

I did some research on here that isnt helping, I am lowering the car 1.5 inches on 225/45 17s shortly. I am using the longer bolt + washer method in the rear control arm mounts to adjust my camber. They are 3/32" washers, what spacing would get me in a ballpark good range for the rear camber...

Bought this off a member in virgina, Thought I d share some pics/ideas. Hatch is still hanging up in the garage untill I have money to tint the glass and swap it in. For now I have a timing belt and new shocks and springs (alignment) to do... The day I got it and unwrapped it:Test fit with...

Ok Im getting rather worried. I did a ton of research on here only to find that alot of people dont like eibachs. I had a super hard time deciding what the heck spring to go with, and it all came down to my local vendor, I chose the tiens because they were easier for him to get and they were on...

I Am planning on a 1.5 inch drop with Tein S-tech springs on illuminas. I measured how it d sit, but I d like some real life pics please! On a GSX would be nice, since they are a FWD spring and it may affect the stance a bit on a GSX. Thanks!Edit: well I was able to find a small amount of pics...

I bent a rim and so I went a little too far when I replaced it and powdered them Mercedes black. Lip is Duplicolor bronze. New tires: pirelli pzero nero M&S 225/45. I have a clear corner on one side and stock amber corners on the other side because I wanted to see if it would look better orange...

I want you guys to help me compare my ideas of a setup. Car is daily driven so I dont want to scrape the heck out of it or have to adjust camber. I want it to absorb bumps well so other people dont ask what I did to my car after riding in it and benig so smooth right nowLOL Lastly, I want it to...

Im going to be painting the lip of my wheels. I would like the calipers to match, anyone see a probem using the duplicolor wheel paint on calipers? I have VHT black caliper paint too, maybe I should prime them with that first?

I did a search on the walbro because I saw one for sale locally at a good price. I only have intake, turbo timer, and turbo back exhuast. Exhuast raised boost pressure to 15 psi. If I get the fuel pump will it screw things up? I read I need a fuel pressure regulator, and is there anything else...

VHT Rust ConvertorAnyone tried it? Im planning on rust proofing my car myself, looks like a good product. I plan on doing it myself so its not a half arsed job, to get every nook and cranny:hellyeah:

Just screwed around with colour Ideas I thought Id post em up:They are actually the 3g eclipse wheel. Notice the lip on them and the curvier spokes. I m picking up 2 of those and 2 GSX wheels to replace 2 bent ones, So with the extra 3g ones I might see how they look in the back. Will be...

I did some reading on plugs and it doesn't so much answer my question. I bought NGK BPR7ES a bit ago and never put them in. Since then I put on a turboback, and the car had a K&N air filter on it already. I got gauges in, and now I'm making 15psi. The rest of the car is stock, besides CF hood...

My First/new Car!(no My Parents Didnt Help Me) - tree view DSMtuners GalleryCan someone make my rims black with a light bronze lip please? I d try but dont have photoshop:notgood: I do all my stuff on MS paint :p

My mechanical oil pressure guage is all that is holding the last steps of the install up. I have the copper tubing ran from point A to B, just needs to be connected. What I need to know for this guage to work is: Do I bleed the tube or not? Im figuring having the oil all the way through the...

prove him wrong with me... :tease:

hey everybody my car's front end has been ripped apart over a week now, and all that is holding me back from putting it back together is my headlights, so I really want to finish them up before I put them back on. The problem is I cannot find the how to on here anymore, and every thread is just...

So I was like how hard can it be to take my passenger headlight off to reseal it. I got sick of seeing it fog over all the time, and had read up on it here a few times. Well 5 broken bolts and a stripped screw head later, its still chillen outside with the "damned" headlight bolt(oh you all know...

Thought Id make this for the Canadian DSM site and might as well post here too. Hopefully it helps some fellow Canadians, otherwise all you guys down there can see the hell we go through up here:P It is very detailed but I don't have privileges to post it anywhere else, so if anyone wants move...

We should make a sticky, because this may keep coming up now and then and not much info seems to be here, unless im too stupid:rolleyes: So fellow canadians(didnt put this on that section because it get s little traffic), what did you all do to pass inspection(when you dont want to shell out...

So i have been reading on the balance shaft elimination, which seems mainly to beinifit the timing belt from being F*@#d over! If You remove the shaft does that hurt anything? like why is it even in there if people rip it out? Is it better just to properly maintain the belt so it doesnt break...

Hey everyone I have lurked this site for 3 years, and have a bunch of basic knowledge. I got my 1998 GSX a few weeks ago, and am thinking of what I can do to it when money comes eventually. First I will do typical maintenace(timing belt and fluids recently replaced) -get some new plugs,wires...

When I get my GSX next week, where will the made in USA be printed,so I can prove that to Canada Customs and not pay duty?

ok so i am checking out cars for sale, i live in ontario so distance is sort of an issue, and i want a black car but most of these are not black, but seem like very good deals, the first time i ve seen so many gsx s under 10 KOMG, so which one do you all think is the best deal for me .... Cars...
