What did you do to your DSM today?

[SixBolt_16G]

In the middle of the engine block on the back side between it and the firewall. 2 bolts hold the bracket to the motor (and you can't see them because the bracket hides them) and 3 hold the mount to the chassis, at least on a 1g. It is similar on a 2g but the bracket may bolt to the transmission, I'm not sure on the 2g exact bolt location.

On a 2g car in the center in the front if you look down where the bell housing meets the block there is a bracket bolted to the transmission with 2 bolts.

In the rear if you see the speed sensor, the sensor actually goes through the bracket. There is three bolts that hold that to the transmission. It will be easier to see under the car.

Pretty much it’s the two “motor mounts” that are in front of the motor and behind the motor. The bolt you showed looks to be one that holds the brackets to the transmission.

While you’re under there might want to make sure your “crank walk” bolt is there and tight on the block. It’s the only one that threads into the transmission from the block side. It’s 12mm and kinda long. Seems your transmission bolts are coming loose.

Do you happen to have a unsprung clutch disc?

-Daniel.

Thanks, that helps a lot.. Ill go out there and check after these long, irrelevant meetings are over...

I put my Hankook Ventus drag radials on since street tires were not holding her to the road. They "help".
First time they have seen a road and prolly want less than 30lbs in them but it's a start
I painted the rear calipers while I had the rims off also.

Put together these spare headlights I got in a trade for some 2ga lights that I ended up quad projector retrofitting for someone. They’re brand new. Tried to give them that JDM/EDM look. Was thinking to put them on my car but the gap with my 2ga bumper would definitely annoy me after a while

Reflectors are 2ga OEM with low beam glare shields removed and LED bulbs added. Because the LED chips are oriented correctly they actually output well with very little added glare. High beams were painted yellow and put some Sylvania bulbs. Although the bulbs aren’t yellow the beam is which looks badass. I removed the clear reflectors over the corners so that the amber behind can be seen more clearly

I’d love to see these on a white or black 2gb

Got my sticker paper so I printed a full sheet of barcode decals. Looks clean AF.

Installed the WSS billet bracket bushing replacement inserts. My stock ones crumbled apart when I took the bolts off.

Finally found a welder to do the bung since my old one was jammed up against the throttle stop switch. Chopped my 2 replacement studs down a few mm to make them all match.

Got my new ashtray and super clean OEM boot.

Continued to rage over the bullshit tax laws in this dystopian country.

How/where do you print the bar codes? Do those match the original ones on the car? That’s cool. I think I need to know how to do that .

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

Grab a free barcode program and use Code 128. Convert your trans code to Code 128 and print.
The labels are 2" x 11/16" for factory size.

Stripping brembo for paint and order decals and 2k clear coat coming.

 

[b00zt3d spyd3r]

Replaced shifter bushings with a set from dsm 3d creations and they made a HUGE difference. Also while doing so, noticed the tension spring? I think.its called on the shifter was not installed correctly telling me someone has messed with it before I owned it. There is now little to no slop in shifter. Took her to the car wash and stretched her legs a bit.

I did a fuel pump rewire today. I could not get it to work. Once finished the car would not crank. Checked voltage, none at the pump. Wasted 3 hours on that thing. Wired it back up to factory specs and it works. Went back and forth a few times with it to no avail. I've done low voltage wiring since 1997 for a living. I'm like really good at it. Or so I thought. Came inside and showered, sat down and it hit me. I wired the %$*&%#=/_ power wire to the negative battery terminal. I will take the "sign" that Bill Engvall hands out from anyone that wants to give it to me. Lol

Bro dont sweat it... ask Marty i spent 2 daus trying to figure out why a simple alternator rewire wasnt producing voltage. Checked positive and negative at several points and nothing. Went to get ready to pull the alternator and realized I never plugged in the harness for it to know it needs to make voltage...

Ill share my sign with you

Coated the inside of my frame rails, well most of them. 8 cans wasn’t enough.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Received my coupler began stripping brembos usual wiring. Using Tessa tape to wrap up some wiring.

 

[MacMarty15221]

Modeled up and 3DP'd some door card clips in ASA plastic. Next up will be a rectangular floor plug in NinjaFlex, because the originals are ... past their prime.

What are those seats? Freakin’ awesome!

Just some no brand seats I found on eBay. Looked way more appropriate for the car than the last ones I had. Had to order from 2 different sellers because I couldn't find them for sale in a pair. It was really weird. Could only find 1 passenger seat in the states.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Installed a oem clutch line and my ic pipe on my fmic and turbo.

 

[greekgodchaos]

Fabbed up a kick plate trim piece that never was but should have been. Ordered a few yards of fabric to reupholster the panels to match my door inserts.

So, today I installed the speakers, back-up camera, and ran all the wiring for amp, speakers, back-up camera. Also applied the first coat of dye to my interior carpet…. Below is before and after photos.
