Here is a sneak peak of the magnus motorsports dry sump kit. These pieces are absolutely beautiful. The pan and the front cover are unbelievably nice. Custom bracket to use a 5 stage barnes pump. I dont think I can go back ever again the dry sump really makes the 4g63 engine. We have so...
Hello everyone. It's been a while since I posted last. First, I got some messages and I wanted to let people know that I was not in Japan when the quake hit, I had just come back to the US for work. I got word today that my apartment is intact and no serious damages except my bottle of nice...

As many of you may have noticed, our cars have a split front lower control arm rather than a traditional "double wishbone". Some of you may have wondered why.There are two big advantages of this system1) Packaging, there was simply not enough space to fit the engine and a full double...
Hi everyone, I want to keep this blog going and posting tech. I'd like to keep sharing technical details, but I have almost no free time, so I have to rush through writing. With that said, I cant write it all up from square one to explain all the concepts. So if it's alright with all of you...
I got a couple PMs asking whats going on with the car so i thought I'd post up. I've been busy here in Japan with races but I talked again with Mike, the owner of the new sponsor shop, Competition GT in Costa Mesa, CA. Things are moving forward and we’re planning a little rebirth for the...

Hey everyone. It seems I finally got setup for what everyone has been requesting. I have someone willing to produce the body I designed for my eclipse. They asked me to post and gauge interest because they want to at least know that we can make our money back on the molds. They are willing...
Hello everyone.We came out to Round 1 Buttonwillow of Redline Time Attack. Unfortunately the spare transmission we were using couldn't take the power for more than the practice day and although we were not able to compete in the race our practice session time was 1.8 seconds faster than the...
Today I would like to announce some changes in our car sponsors for 2010. It is both with a heavy heart and excitement that I announce the replacement of my long time sponsor and friend, KBR Performance. Karlo at KBR has supported the car from the land speed days when nobody believed in it...
Been a little while since I had time to post but I thought this was really cool. :hellyeah:This is a paint scheme and a tune for Mitsubishi eclipse. This is what the designer said:
"
There's going to be 50 free ones and an unlimited amount of ones that are 10,000 CR each, the car's tune...
Well, I didnt think it would come down to this but it has. I feel that since coming to DSMTuners I've grown close to this community and I feel like there's a lot of support from this group. I hope that we have given you something to aspire to and faith for the love we all have for these cars...

We won with the eclipse at Super Lap Battle finals!Detailed writeup next week, video, all coming soon! But the quick version is we blew up a gearbox, Sam and Robert at RRE came through with one for us to use, Karlo and Nick busted ass to get it swapped in over night. We limped at minimum...
So knowing that we would have to do some serious street miles for this engine break-in and with how crappy the factory headlights are I commissioned a friend of mine install projectors into the factory casing. I had a huge gripe with most of the projector retrofits on 2g DSMs. I feel like the...

I'm sorry to have to deliver bad news but a foreign object went through the timing belt and the engine has been destroyed. I do not have the money for another engine. I'm sorry but we will not be competing in RTA for the duration of the season at least. I need to find a job.
I am back in the US! We are getting ready for the race at Spring Mountain in Pahrump. I never expected the car to be ready to even shakedown but thanks to Nick Salyer at NSFab working tirelessly for two weeks, we will be there for some shake down, test & tune. We're not expecting to win...
