Products the DSM crowd would like to see made

How about a timing mark, for those who refuse to run timing covers.

Someone makes these, but I can't remember who.

As titled! This is an easy to install timing indicator for those times when you need the timing marks without a timing cover!

Google is legitimately no help finding anything anymore. I used to be a wizard at finding stuff and suddenly can’t find anything.


Long story short and sparing the rant: they changed the way their algorithm works. It doesn’t search for terms it searches for what it thinks the best things you need to see are.

That's the one!

Here are a few places that everyone may not be aware of that are continuing to create products for our cars.

John Freund Racing who sells what's called piLink which is a standalone datalogger with options to add a screen to your dash. In addition he sells some cool techy gadgets for your car.

Dude's Custom Parts is based out of Germany I believe, but he makes custom billet and 3d printed parts. I wish he offered more for 1g's but he does have some pretty neat things.

DSM 3D Creations have 3d prints of many miscellaneous pieces that break or go missing over the years like screw covers, clips, retainers, and bushings.

Parts on my current wish list are a fuel filler neck, headliner, front bumper, parking brake hardware kit, and cyclone intake manifold butterfly gaskets

I got you covered on one of your wishlist!!!
The filler necks are already sorted. I have the caps now redesigned but i got both 1G and 2G jigged up. Both have been tested and fitment is good.
Im going to look at doing these next year once my other projects are done first but at least this is 1 item off the list.

All stainless means it will last a lifetime now so less worries later on and will always look great

Take my money already! I will happily pre buy two of these xD

 

[FIBA M - EC17PSE]

Im not accepting anything currently on these until i got my other project out the way so come feb-march 2023 then i can start getting into these again. I can come back to this thread once i got this far and all the laser cut parts priced up.

We’re going to need 7-bolt timing covers eventually, they’re disappearing. Also not really DSM, but Evo123 owners badly need fuel filler necks too.

If anyone wants one to scan I have a lower 7 bolt timing cover I can spare for weeks+ someone would need to make a mold.


Wonder how a billet one would look.

 

[bastarddsm]

Heavy dumb and like $2000. Aluminum is $7/lb right now.

Heavy vs plastic sure but not 2k. Honda guys have them and they about $600 ish last time i looked

 

[CrackedDSM]

It was a joke. Thus the face used. Doubt anyone would pay for them even if they were $400-$600 instead.

Although now I’m curious how a 3D printed one would fair.

 

[trogador2005]

I'd pay $400-600 for an aluminum one

Just how would we remove it for maintenance without engine removal? No thanks.

How do you remove the OEM one? You don’t bend the piss out of it do you?

Make a clear lower timing cover so I can see when these shit motors decide to oil the timing belt and pulley

Not sure what you’re doing wrong but I’ve never had that happen. These engines are fantastic.

Well of course not but it does flex a little bit.

Has anyone mentioned rear window louvers for the 2g yet?

Thats kinda a custom job per car as its possible you might be one of a few for that.

I mean they're alright. For 1989 technology they are f***ing amazing though
