Hey, I was just wondering if anybody ever thought of using color change paint for their interior pieces? Have you ever seen pics of it being done before?:thumb:

After searching through many threads, I found a front strut bar that looks halfway decent. Problem is, I have no idea what brand it is or who owns this DSM. Any ideas?Thanks :)

I just installed a knock led with the following parts from radio shack...The light: 5mm blue LED 3.7 volt / 20ma / 2600mcdThe resistor: 100-Ohm resistor at 1/2 watt / 5% toleranceWhen the LED turned on it almost blinded me! Is this the correct size resistor to use inline with...

Currently I am helping a friend rebuild his engine. Its a 6bolt 2.0TC turbo engine out of his GSX. Heres the question:In the owners manual it says when you first start the engine, you want to hold the rpm at 2000rpm for a short period of time(cant remember what it said). Then when you get...

Hey everybody, it has been a long time since I have posted pictures of my DSM so I figured it was about time! I have been so busy with work and everything else that it hasn’t left me much time for the important things! Anyways, the Talon has quite a few new modifications since my last post so...

So I got home a little early tonight and I thought to myself, "You know Brandon, you really haven't posted on DSMtuners much lately. I think it's time you get out your digital camera and see if you have anything worthy of making a thread". Well truth is, I found quite a few pictures that some of...

Hey everybody, I have just a quick question about wiring a Kenwood FM Modulator.What I want to know is if it is alright to leave the FM Modulator powered constantly (hooking it up to the ignition accessory circuit). Will this interfear with radio reception (if I am listening to a radio...

Have you ever asked yourself who you are? Can you answer the question of what you want your life to be like? As much as I confuse myself thinking about fascinations like this, the last few months have been great.Two years from today I probably would have been driving my DSM down local city...

Like the title says, I think it might be time to pull the engine again and start another rebuild. Last year I took out my engine and replaced all of the gaskets (except for the head gasket), rebuilt my transmission, installed a ACT2600 clutch and put on a ACT flywheel. The engine and overall...

Hey everybody. I finally got some decent pictures of my 1g. I had tons more pictures from the other night but I was using my friends camera and they didn't turn out the greatest. I tried some different wax also called NXT. I am pretty happy with the results :thumb:

Well, the :notgood: is my opinion anyways.I rebuilt my transmission about 8,000 miles ago and ever since I have been using Pennzoil Synchromesh. It is the same product that you can find at GM dealerships (part #12345349). The Synchromesh is safe to use in our transmissions (in other words...

:cool: Hey everybody! I have a car show this Easter weekend that I was getting ready for tonight so I figured I better get some pictures since I haven't posted any for awhile. I finally got my rims on for the first time Tuesday night also. Incase you are wondering, I refinished the rims using...

Hey tuners :cool: Below are some pictures of my "new" rims going on my DSM. The first one is one of the rims before I cleaned them up and the second is one that is finished. I wetsanded the hell out of the outside lip and lightly wetsanded the factory silver paint and finished the rim up with...

Hey, below is a log (MMCD) along with my S-AFC settings. This is really the first time I have tuned with a AFC (just installed it yesterday) so what I was wondering is if anybody would have any input on my results. The log was taken during a 3rd gear WOT pull on factory 450cc injectors. Thanks...

I put a APEXi S-AFC in my 1G a few days ago and everything seemed to be okay. Throttle position read correctly along with all other settings. Now yesterday I hooked up my logger and went out and started tuning. After about 30 minutes into tuning I noticed my TPS readings on my SAFC were wrong...

:D Hey everybody, here are a few pictures I took this afternoon of my Talon :talon: I will try to get some pictures tonight once it gets dark of my dash (blue LEDs, no more orange color) and upload them later tonight. I tried to get another picture of my false floor in the hatch area (w/...

:cool: ...Because I turn 20 years old today! :eek: :thumb:Anyways I just wanted to say hi to all of you that I haven't talked to for awhile and see what's new! Me, not much. I have been working a lot lately at the local dealership along with going to school. My last year at technical...

:o Yes, silly me installing a shift light in my DSM. Anyways, this thing is so bright I am afraid it will blind me when I hit redline. So... does anybody have any ideas on what I could do to dim it down a bit? I thought about resistors on the power side but I am unsure how the circuit works on...

First I would like to say... I am NOT parting out my Talon for all of you that were like :eek: huh? who? what!?Anyways, I have a 90 Eclipse GST in pretty good condition that I am considering parting out. I am pretty sure I could get more out of it then I bought it for which I wanted to put...

Story of what happened: This morning I pulling into the school parking lot as it was still raining outside. I got on it a little bit just before I got into the lot turning a hard left a few times. Anyways I pull into the lot and I smell rubber like my tires were burning. I get out as my turbo...

I bolted on my flywheel and my new pressure plate tonight and it doesn't look quite right. I put the clutch alignment tool on the disk (also into the flywheel) and started bolting on the pressure plate. The pressure plate is pushing pretty well on the clutch disk and it looks as if the clutch is...

A meet in South Dakota?? :eek: That's right! The first annual (at least right John?) South Dakota meet will be held in Sioux Falls on Saturday, September 18th. This is not offically a meet, but more of a get together for some local DSMers (and surrounding states) to get to know the crowd and...

So anyways its the dreaded time yet again to replace my clutch with another aftermarket unit. This year my choice was a ACT2600 along with a ACT Streetlight flywheel. My fun was about to begin....Now imagine me in full body armor.Bicycle helmet: Check A paper bag shirt so I don't get...

Is the factory flip up sunroof on a 1gb suppose to have a locking device of some kind to keep it in place? All mine does is flip up and that is the only thing keeping it in place is its degree of angle. I hit a bump and it slams down back into place. I am about ready to hold it up with zipties...

I have a ACT2100 clutch that I have somewhat been concerned about for awhile now. After I would run it a few times back to back it would heat up and I thought what I smelled was clutch. My master cylinder and slavce cylinder both have roughly 6,000 miles on them. I have a SS clutch line and...

So lately I have been deeply deprived from receiving any private messages from somewhat local DSMers. You would think that the DSM population would want to have colossal meets in the Midwest since it gives everybody a central gathering place (South Dakota *hint hint)… For some odd reason though...

I just got my hands on a spray gun the other day and I was going to be painting a door. What I was wondering is if there are any good links that anybody has on painting with a gun. Like cleaning the gun, adjusting the spray gun etc. I can just go to Google and search (which I have done) but if...

Here is a TON of pictures I took from the 2nd Annual Special Olympic Car Show. Overall turnout was close to 200 cars and I ended up taking 1st place in my class. My friend with his Camaro took 3rd which he was pretty excited about. I forgot about taking pictures of my interior which I'm sure...

Modded my car? :eek: Just some random stuff I did this afternoon. What do you think? I finally got a good grab on Photoshop so I have been having too much fun. :thumb:Oh and the first picture is the origional (not modified).

Hey so the July 4th weekend is coming up shortly and I am looking for ideas to do with my girlfriend Sunday and Sunday night ;) We are going to a wedding on Saturday and we will be getting back on Sunday. I was trying to think of something fun to do but all the ideas I have had weren't...

Here is what we well do. I will start and ask 1 question. Your job is to answer that question and ask another question. Anybody can answer and only one question can be asked. This could get interesting! :p I will start...Have you ever walked into a bathroom and sat down in the stall only to...

:cool: That's right, you heard me!! Well, maybe not that sharp, but they are clean at least. The black DSM is obviously mine, and the red 2g is a buddy's car that we just picked up this last week. Let me know what you think! Oh and by the way... That last picture is the same red 2g along with my...

Ok, so I am crusing along right... and I see a buddy of mine in front of me and we were both turning right. I wanted to catch up to him so that I could talk to him so when we went around the corner (keep in mind I left my car in 2nd gear the whole time) he went in the left lane and I stayed in...

I am sure that some of you remember, but awhile back a drunk driver smashed the front of my car and I had to replace the passenger rim, fender, and the whole front bumper. All parts were brand new and they did a really nice job painting the parts to match. Now another problem with my bumper has...

So has anybody here been stuck in one of those situations that pulling a Macgyver made it so much easier? For example...This one happened to a friend I know... His AAA batteries went dead in his TV remote controller. He had no more triple A batteries so guess what he did? He went to a Lego...

Some people are so stuck up when it comes to what their parents buy them. This guy I know just got a 300ZX Twin Turbo (anybody know factory numbers on these?). He talks himself up so much that it just gets annoying. Now yesterday I look over and he is at a light right next to me. The light turns...

I cleaned up my Talon about 2 days ago and figured it was time to get some pictures of my exhaust done. Its a complete 2.5" system. It sounds deep and pretty clean. I'm happy with it at least! :thumb:Oh and the 2nd picture down is my ghetto flat black painted mirrior. I didn't have color...

I should be able to figure this out, but obviously I can't so if anybody could help me that would be great! The problem is that the LED in the switch will not light when its flipped to the on position. Terminals 2 and 3 both have continuity when switched on. No continuity when switched off...

Well this Saturday night is Prom. Its actually for my girlfriends school (I'm a sophomore in college, she’s 18 and I'm 19) and I'm really looking forward to it. I want it to be a awesome time that I can remember for the rest of my life. Something we can both remember for the rest of our lives...

So it was really windy today. We were under a severe thunderstorm warning. It was sunny though so we (friend Jesse and I) were going to run to Econofoods to get some tinfoil. I am using this tinfoil for a fiberglass project I am doing inside my Talon. Anyways we head inside and start picking up...

I ordered PCP Motorsports 9005 12V 100W headlight bulbs awhile back (well about 2 months ago) and rewired my headlight circuit to handle the extra wattage and amperage draw. I did not touch the blub when I put it in (I am using it in the low beam spot) and tonight one of them burnt out. Does...

I always thought these were fun :DSo I'm walking into McDonalds one day and as soon as I step in the doorway this little green troll runs out in front of me, shows me a french fry, then gives me the finger.......Add a sentance or two ^^ :thumb: You know how it works!

Well as you might remember, I was pretty thrilled when I put on my 2.5" downpipe and test pipe. Tuesday though I got the rest of my exhaust finished. I took the car to a local shop and had them build me a 2.5" testpipe back exhaust (including welding on my Apexi' N1 muffler). It wasn't quite as...

Holy shit! I put this on tonight and WOW I can't believe the differance on the butt dyno! It set me back so hard through first gear I couldn't believe it :thumb: Once when I went through first I was coming out around a corner and I broke all four loose on dry pavement up until 2nd gear. Me after...

So anyways after much thought I think I am ready for tomorrow. :eek: What do you have planned for tomorrow? Also let us know how you were "fooled"! :thumb:

I found these off of http://bash.org and some of them are just too good not to share...< Sui88> 67% of girls are stupid < V-girl> i belong with the other 13%< scirDSL> I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me saying "You're next". They stopped that when I started...

I haven't really been around for awhile to post so I thought I would step in and see whats new with everybody. Not a lot with me, but there have been a few things. I got my car fixed finally at the local Ford Dealership. They didn't do to bad. I also am dating the most wonderful girl in the...

I saw this on that site ultrabored that somebody posted a few days ago... Can't remember who posted it but I thought this was pretty funny!!!!!A few days ago I was having some work done at my local garage. A blonde came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten. We all looked at each other and...
