Sidekick/Tracker (two door soft top ONLY) were at the top of my husband's list before we settled on importing another Jimny from Japan. The unibody Sidekick with better road manners would have been a better fit for him, but he wanted the smaller size of the Jimny plus he was SUPER nostalgic for...
I came here expecting a V8-swapped RWD 4th gen Eclipse and while I am slightly disappointed, this is pretty cool!A 4th gen Camaro/Firebird was originally at the top of my list for a first car.
I no longer have a MAF car as all six of my gas cars were either speed density from the factory or have been converted via standalone ECUs. Not sure that I have a preference, to be honest. I might even prefer MAF. Maybe.The van is SD from the factory and it is completely stock. I had some...
Things have been very quiet on the DSM front, and for good reason. I fought the aforementioned "line of high VE" problem for a full year, only resolving it in October of last year. But I didn't have time to celebrate because that cleared the way for a new problem: cycling between 8% lean...
The shifter in my Suzuki Every is SUPER stiff. It has been sitting since around Christmas and I'm assuming that the stupid brass shifter bushings have corroded onto the linkages and are preventing everything from rotating as needed. It's in the garage and the heater's going, and I'll tear into...
The Outlander upgrade uses just Outlander brackets to move the stock 2 piston caliper outward more, plus the larger Outlander rotors. It wouldn't have any risk of lack of forward clearance and I THINK there's still plenty of diameter left inside the 16s, but let me check mine. I have the 17" GSX...
I've been running them on the Eclipse for a few years and other cars for probably a decade. They're rebuilt OE calipers that are powdercoated red. What else can I say? For any car that just needs red calipers, these are the ones to get.
Taken from Part 5 of my life story over on Opposite-Lock. I was trying to sell my Talon, which I had disassembled.I failed to mention that I had laid a tarp out on the floor of the unit before driving the Talon in, and I had the used oil sitting out in open containers that got kicked over as...
I've been browsing Copart, as one does, and I couldn't ignore this Laser! Someone needs to save this thing...https://www.copart.com/lot/38061053/clean-title-1992-plymouth-laser-rs-ca-sun-valley
That's a lot of work to end up right where you started. Are you wanting to end up driving the RS or are you pulling parts from the RS to fix up your GS? Your post mentions doing both. Aside from the aforementioned aftermarket parts, what makes the RS better than what you've got?
I just saw one for sale for $100 on the Facebook group. I would link but Facebook is hot garbage and I couldn't find the post even if I know who posted it and exactly when.
I'll say the same thing I say every time this question comes up. If you're keeping the factory engine mounts, toss the balance shafts. I wouldn't go out of my way to remove them, but since you'll already have the engine apart, there's no reason not to.If you have or are upgrading to stiffer...
My whole build thread is pretty wild, but you can start at Post 7 for just the DSM stuff. Short answer: very yes. The average DSM owner is barely more intelligent than a pudding, and the used market shows this.
