Welcome aboard! and start by reading the tech guide up at the top of the page.

Welcome..nice looking GST

I just bought a intake off of ebay , cheapest one I could find on there, came with a raliart filter. Works great , huge noise difference as far as the stock bov goes. And you can hear the turbo spool a lot more.

welcome to the family (as disfunctional as it is ) First I would like to start by saying...please oh please don't use the word "anyways" one more time and I'll kill myself!!
Secondly, I have a K&N filter on my Eclipse and like it very much. although, I don't think that there is a hill of beans difference in the performance of most aftermarket filters. I believe its just preference and pocket book. Good luck in whatever you decide.

welcome to the world of DSMs

i personally prefer the injen intake.. but i believe its mostly a matter of preference.

 

[mgcook]

ebay intakes are no different than injen intakes, plus they are alot cheaper

 

[GSTdude06]

I have a ebay intake and it works great. Loud sounds and you can hear everything.

hey welcome to the family!... ..hope you left your social life at the door....because if you didn't it'll sure be gone after a few weeks in the DSM house.

please feel free to drool over any of our many mouth watering forums, packed full of helpful tech talk, and newbie squawk.

dine at any of our vendors.....and when i say dine, i mean beg....beg on your knees for that new crank shaft that just walked out.

if you develop eye problems or soreness of the fingers in the comming weeks...don't fret its most likely cause by excessive typing on DsmTuners...because every day your car throws a new code...soon it will throw enough codes for you to make a mini matrix.

best of luck...you'll need it.

but remember no matter what...no matter how hard, how frustrating or how stress full your car becomes....you love it, and it loves you. *just don't lay under it when you pull the LICP off....or it will sh*t oil on your face.

Nice set of rims came with the car, I think they look good. Free mods is a must as is a T-28 later on down the road when push comes to shove on the highway. Remember to build a ton of boost off the line for them races from a dig, the advantage of an automatic!

Hey guys thanks for being cool, by the way i know a couple of sites for 2gs but where can i find a site for an eclipse where you can find parts and there are reviews from fellow 2g owners. Thanks Guys again..1

 

[herovueboi]

This site does have a classificed section that has been very helpful to me. There used to be a super dealer site called dsmtrader, but it was shut down due to too many scammers. You could try www.dsmtalk.com, that site has a great amount of information as well, also a classified section.

You can also find a good amount of reviews on this site. The Tech Guide at the top is very helpful, I hope you enjoy your stay here with DSMers!

What feels quicker...The Supra Turbo or the Eclipse...My buddy just bought a 91' Supra Turbo nice car, very clean.

Just let some of us know what parts you would like reviews for. I can help you out with almost anything. Im a fellow 2g owner and also everyone around me has every setup possible for a DSM. Huge DSM following for such a small city. Let me know.

 

[Eclipsei95cl]

Keep in mind his car is an automatic. So I would suggest a Translab Shift kit and IPT end clutch kit first. Unfortunatley stock FWD autos do not handle power well. Trust me I have been through my fair share of trannys on my car. Check out ImportPerformancetransmissions.com for all your automatic needs.

Welcome to the family. You'll slowly start hanging out with only DSM people. And you'll learn that any empty parking lot can lead to a night of long talks.

DSM people are great, so much cooler than Honda guys.

 

[mgcook]

Honda guys are stuck up bastards

My Eclipse seems quicker is nimble, its not a fat boat . Anyway i have a question i know its off topic but when im driving the car goes almost all the way to redline to shipping its odd just wondering what it could be.
