    I'd like to introduce you to DEI (direct exhaust injection)You're welcome.

    Exhaust opinions

    I bought my 2nd awd dsm while deployed, came home a few days ago and realized that the exhaust is unbearably loud; 3" turbo back; no cat, resonator, or muffler. I'm thinking about buying a dynomax super turbo, just something that sounds clean, QUIET, and won't have the in-cab drone. Opinions on...

    Legal help! housing lease signature issue.

    I went through something similar; i had two roommates jump ship about 3 months into a lease. In my experience whoever's signature is on the lease is who they will go after, and they will also happilly drag you into court over 1 month's rent. If you don't pay rent for 5 months, all three of you...

    Sell my gs-t for gsx?

    You're probably right; I just assumed it was someone misinterpreting "4G63".

    My last dsm came with ebay halo lights; they were junk. I say go with OEM.

    How hard to find.......?

    Exactly, finding a beautiful unmolested one is damn near impossible; nobody buys a turbocharged all wheel drive car to drive it like a minivan...

    How much did you pay for your DSM?

    Just bought my 4th dsm: 95 TSi AWD for $3,700USD. I live near a military base, so anything with a turbo is worth it's weight in gold; it was about $300 more than I had planned to spend. Drilled/slotted rotors, 3" ex, new 7bolt, tokico adjustable susp, camper correction, energy suspension master...

    Searching for months

    Vented BOV and painted interior pieces= previous owner was a ricer. I would stay away from that one; the car probably spent its last few years being badly mistreated.

    420A Clutch Kit

    Need a motor for a 95 eclipse

    ^ I highly doubt asking for "a motor" will yield many results. It would probably be advantageous to give some basic information such as engine type, price range, preferred mileage, etc... Just my $0.02.

    420A Clutch Kit

    'Stages' aren't specific/descriptive at all, (it's useless Honduh lingo); it's mostly ebay junk thrown in a box with flames on it. "Thinking of getting a stage 17 clutch" means nothing to someone trying to give advice about a part, whereas "I have a 96 GS and was hoping to get some advice on...

    What happened to DSMsource.com?

    It would be nice if the threads and writeups that are unique to those sites were saved, just in case.

    What happened to DSMsource.com?

    I never came to this site for that reason. Too many uninformative "mad skilz yo dawg" type posts; why 'source' was so great IMO.
  23. mcrae_06

    What happened to DSMsource.com?

    I'm sure, like myself, many members have migrated here from various other forums. When the great Diamond Star Gods inspired me three DSMs ago, 'source' was the only place to find solid, reliable information. It is now almost entirely locked; what happened?

    Whats a talon 2g front bumper worth?

    I would take a look at the Classified Section click the blue letters right here of this forum and search for something along the lines of "2gb talon bumper" I bet you'd get a pretty good idea of what you could ask based on what other people are charging for a similar item.

    New Clutch question.

    ^Yup. A good clutch can easily last 200,000 miles, but you can also kill one in about 20 minutes if you keep it half engaged.

    Popping sound at 40 plus mph

    Sounds like it could be a CV shaft going bad. To check this: go into a parking lot, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, drive in a circle. Then turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, drive in a circle. If you hear "click, click, click" one of your CV axles is bad.

    how to test a MT when is off the car

    Personally I would crack it open and inspect what you can see; they're pretty simple, and it would be peace-of-mind to know there aren't any gear/synchro pieces floating around in there. Just my $0.02

    trans rattle

    It could be a bad hub; Try spinning the wheel in question, if the hub is bad it will feel like it has sand in the bearing (not the best description, but I'm sure you get the point).

    New Clutch question.

    ^Hate when people do that to stay in place at a light. Clutch should be fine; you can glaze the friction material if you 'ride the clutch' with regularity.

    engine running lean code

    A good way to find a vacuum leak is to start the car, light your favorite form of tobacco (cigar/cigarette), and blow the smoke around potentially leaky vacuum lines; The engine will suck in smoke at the leak.

    driving with broken exhaust studs

    I bet you could pick up a set of EZOUTS, aka:bolt extractors, for around $15. If you had a drill and a Crescent wrench you could fix them yourself.

    No power to my injectors

    This might not apply to you 420a guys, but I remember hearing something a while back; apparently washing your engine allows water to seep down into the timing cover which shorts out the crank sensor. I would have a look if you've recently washed your engine.
