    Washer nozzles (that don’t suck)

    If I recall when I had them I used 3g eclipse ones and they were markedly better.When I was developing and using an intercooler sprayer I used some Japanese sprayers I picked up over there and they were awesome, a nice wide flat spray pattern. I have no specifics on that, I literally popped...

    2G Mounting bride Bucket seat

    At that height you'll probably need to cut into the floor mounting areas and possibly reinforce from underneath the car in order to get the safe clearance for your noggin. It's what I had to do for my racing seat so my helmet had good clearance and I'm just under 5'10".

    2G Custom Side Mirrors

    Digital Side View cameras that let you lose the mirrors entirely: https://jfracing.net/p/dmsthough it might be hard to use on a street car. On track cars they usually mount near the base of the a-pillar inside the car, either off the dash or off the roll cage, but on a street car you'd want...

    CF Hood - radiation barrier - heat blanket.

    DEI makes a like 1/4" thick aluminum fiberglass cloth sandwich that has very strong adhesive on one side. Material can be cut to shape. I think that could work well for this.In my case if I recall correctly I think I used DEI reflect-a-gold and this worked (when my car was a street car with...

    Replacing stock amp

    The power rating selection for your amp heavily depends on the speakers themselves. What is the RMS limit on your speakers? Use that and look for an amp that will meet or exceed that RMS rating per channel. If you exceed it be very careful with your gain controls so that you don't set it so...

    Replacing stock amp

    There isn't one that's plug and play. However if you're using a Kenwood receiver it should have line level outputs so it should be fairly simple to use. Instead of using the line level outputs that you are currently using via the OEM harness you should connect your RCA outputs from your...

    Different makes steering wheel

    Probably just cutting the splines off the donor steering shaft, cutting off the one on yours, and welding the donor splines onto your shaft.

    2G Where to get elusive front bumper under cover...

    That part doesn't exist as far as I know. The only thing in that area is a curved metal bracket that bolts to the inside of the bottom of the bumper cover edge.

    2G Where to get elusive front bumper under cover...

    I've never seen an OEM engine undertray for any DSM in my 22 years of DSM ownership.

    2G IC-7 dash in 2g

    I don't think that the buttons would really get used in a car once the cluster is set up so them being back under the gauge cluster cowl isn't really a big deal. I know with my digital dashboard running on an Android tablet I never touch it now that it's set up and working.

    HVAC sealing foam

    Mcmaster-carr has all sorts of foam rolls with adhesive, so if you don't fine what you like at home depot or lowes you can order something from there that should do the trick.

    If it were me I'd use M6 rivnuts, and buy some nice dome head anodized aluminum bolts from Pro-Bolt USA.

    Securing laptop at the track

    When I was still using a laptop I bought a cheap padded laptop case off amazon for it and cut a slot for the usb cable in the side. I then tied the case down with parachord. Gave the laptop enough padding (though I had an SSD to give me the best chance of the laptop not being killed from...

    2G Carbonetics AB Hood (Pictures)

    I had a fabricator make that. It has some m6x1 standoffs that screw into the spark plug cover holes. Note the seal I added at the end that presses against the timing belt cover. Works pretty well when I have to use it.

    2G Cruise Control/Mirror Bezel Help

    Just put a dab if silicone if you want a cheap fix. If you want a working one, I just pulled mine last week from my 99 GSX track car and could sell it to you. PM me if interested.

    Pictures of wheel setups!!

    I didn't write it up because I was the only one besides Andrew that needed it, and Andrew already solved his problem a different, albeit more costly, way. I also forgot to take pictures every time I took the PS pump apart :) The other guys with our size tires aren't even close to having their...

    Pictures of wheel setups!!

    With street tires he's probably fine. If he isn't I know how to modify the pressure relief valve spring's preload so that the rack seals won't blow (just remove a shim from the valve, really easy, no need for Andrew's modification).

    What am I looking at?

    1. BCS 2. Base of the battery tray 3. I think a plugged up vent line from your gas tank that went to the original charcoal canister which is probably removed. 4. Ignition Power Transistor Unit. It's what directly charges your ignition coils and generates your dash tach signal.edit on #3 -...

    2G Carbon Fiber Hood Visuals

    Don't rely on a factory-style hood latch with a composite hood. There is too much risk of it failing resulting a hood lifting up and slamming into your windshield and roof and possibly causing an accident. Always use some form of aftermarket hood latch.

    Cockpit pics

    I use a RaceCapture Pro Mk2 from Autosport Labs for much of my data logging. I run their RaceCapture app on the phone connected to the datalogger via Bluetooth which gives me access to all the data as well as lap timing features. It is on the lap time display there which I use when racing...

    2g front bumper support/bracing

    Ah, no, the straps will be what transfer the load to the chassis so they need to not flex and should be strong enough for the expected load. Someone with more of a materials background can comment on width and thickness, but if no one replies I can offer that the strapping supporting mine are...

    2g front bumper support/bracing

    If I was working with 2g body work I would take metal straps, shaped in elongated C's, sort of hanging off the front bumper supports that the front fiberglass bumper attach to. One end of the C hangs over the top of the bumper (or support piece), and the other has the receiving attachments for...

    2G 2g FOB Key Case Broke...

    Happens over time. Drill a hole and use that for the metal ring. Just make sure you open one first to identify and place that won't hit the board inside.

    2G Motorsport-tech wheel spacers

    Ah, no, those I have not used. I have thinner ones that are customized but only in that they are specific thicknesses (I think 5mm and 3mm, but it might be 7/5, I can't remember) and include a hubcentric ring sized to accommodate my enkei wheels because stock hub ring doesn't stick out enough...

    Resolved Missing side mirror mirror

    If you can't find one I have the pair off my track car in my storage unit. I could sell you the entire assembly (not going to just sell the mirror) for the one you need. Of course that's a lot more than just the mirror. Might be able to buy just the mirror though so try calling up Paul@JNZ...

    Tinted Windows suggestion

    You'll barely be able to see.Try checking out a 20% tint job. I think you'll find it's plenty and minimize your risk.
  34. TSiAWD666

    Tinted Windows suggestion

    20% is about as dark as you'll need, and it's still going to be a bit tough to see out the sides at night. I had 20 all around on my Eclipse (you can see pics in my profile). It's very dark. Instant ticket in my area with cops sadly heh. Not an issue anymore with my car being a track only...

    Gauge cluster overlay

    You don't take the stock ones out. You lay the new ones over them. Hence the word "overlay" in the product name. The stock ones are not easily removable.

    Non Rallyspec Skidplate Ideas / Questions

    There isn't an off the shelf one, so you're left with fabricating one on your own. If you do make one make sure it does not completely seal off the engine bay's lower rear as that is the primary ventilation for the heat and without it you may experience overheating. How much venting to keep...

    Aftermarket bumper cover question

    It adds a bit of structure keeping the bottom lip in shape. You can not have it, and maybe it will look good short term and even possibly long term, but it seems hit or miss.

    99 GSX without abs?

    Brian and Eric are right, I'm completely wrong. I took a picture of the unit in the foot well I was referring to and they confirmed it was actually a cruise control module. So please disregard my attempt at confusing everyone in this thread :)

    99 GSX without abs?

    Well I'll confirm what that little box is hopefully next time I stop by the shop that has the car. I only just saw it for the first time last week when looking at the cage work but it's where I was always told the abs control unit would be so I am assuming. I'll snap a pic in the next few days...

    99 GSX without abs?

    Brian isn't that the ABS pump? The controller is in the passenger footwell mounted up on the right wall I'm pretty sure.

    Is this racing harness setup acceptable?

    I wouldn't trust that harness bar. Those drop downs have collapsed in similar designs in other cars, which then allows the main bar to drop down and thus provide slack in the should harness straps. Any slack will allow you to slide out. There's a video of this happening in a civic but I can't...

    sick of replacing radio

    Keep in mind an alarm is really only a deterrent. If they really want to steal something they will. You can make it most effective though by: 1) Having a nice bright flashing indicator for the alarm being armed so it's obvious there's an alarm system. Usually a nice bright red/blue LED in...

    Harness support Bar

    Before trying a questionable (for safety) harness bar I'd check the angles between the seat holes and the stock rear seat belt points and compare to your harness install requirements. My harnesses state no more than a 20 degree angle from horizontal from the hole to the mount points and on my...

    Radiator suggestions, going for aesthetically pleasing...

    If you want something cool for your radiator hoses there's a company that makes a glass insert where you can see the coolant. Saw this at a car show earlier this year, was pretty neat. I completely forget the name though.
