Alright, I'll be "that guy". I don't see any of the following on the lists above: Shop air filtrationRespirator/masks, face shields/eye protection, gloves (PPE in general)Vacuum/cleanup (some people spend tons of effort and money on plumbing air, and nothing on plumbing vac for some reason)Fire...
It's not "just a swap", although since you have a donor car, you've got most of what you need. Basically: long-block (plus I/C, piping, etc), turbo ECU, and wiring for the knock sensor.(A lot of folks will have the idea that this is a harder swap than it is, because they assume you have a...
I just finalized an apartment in Alameda, although with the Evo basically neutered, I'm not very worried about getting attention from the police. Now that I finally have a few days to rest, I can deal with some leftover ECU issues from reinstalling all the damn emissions hardware and get...
Well, it's a done deal; I'm moving to SF.GsxEcutioner, thanks for the help. I'm basically putting the car back to stock (aside from a catback), and I'll sort out what I can do to it later. Hopefully they won't scream too loudly about a few extra sensors and a lot of extra wires going into the...
Hi guys,There's a possibility that I might be relocating from Illinois to the San Francisco area for work soon, and I'm concerned about my Evo and my wife's WRX (my 2g will be in storage for a while until I find a place to continue work on it, and we'll probably sell the 1g because there's...
Illinois no longer does emissions testing on vehicles prior to OBD-II availability (1996 and newer); the guy at Autozone was correct. Here's the Illinois EPA website's FAQ on it:Air Team - Illinois Vehicle Emission Test ProgramAlso see the exempt vehicles list, which specifies any vehicle...
I have an HF 20-ton press, and it's more than paid for itself (especially since I managed to catch it during a 50%-off sale). I'd expect those 6-ton bench presses to be fine for bushings; in most cases, alignment of press to material has mattered more than ultimate pressure for me.
The ducting you've settled on looks a lot like what AMS did with their Evo X, although they had considerably more room to work with, especially after doing a tilted mount for the FMIC/radiator:Here are some pics of the latest progress we've made on our Time Attack Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution...
Yeah, I usually get it at the local Frys, but they aren't everywhere, and Radio Shack seems to only be good for the most common components. You might try Sparkfun, but if you're even moderately into electronics, your paycheck will end up significantly lighter after browsing their site. ;)
YouTube - Re: @GStephanopoulos | Old SpiceSadly, the rest of this thread is making me dumber with every subsequent post. The phenomenal gaps in understanding in a few of the posts here, spoken with such assertiveness, are painful to read.I need a slow SD card so my phone can "keep up"...
Not sure if this was directed at me, but just in case: libraries are loaded on demand, and remain in shared memory as long as there's a running process that requires them. I don't think I suggested killing processes off would hurt anything; those libraries will remain in shared memory until the...
You young'uns and your shiny new phones!On newer gear (with considerably more RAM) like the Galaxy S, Droid X, Droid 2, Evo, N1, etc. (ie. anything released in the last six-eight months), I'd be inclined to let the OS handle process cleanup; you'll be more likely to keep common shared...
Bring the car to MOD in Normal, IL this weekend; you'll be able to meet a large number of people who could probably help you out. (Convoy details, if you want to drive out with a few people.)Be sure to check ChitownDSM as well; there's quite a few locals on there who might be able to give...
Just to be clear: pump on and engine off, fuel pressure will only reduce to 50psi?If you only have a 255lph pump, your return line is plenty big (although there could be a blockage). I'd be looking closely at the AFPR.
Sounds like it was a good weekend, congratulations! If you don't mind me asking: what are you using for logging and mapping the course outlines? (I'm guessing you get accelerometer data as well as GPS position?)(I've considered using my old iPhone for the job using one of the million cyclist...
Dude, quit spamming DSMtuners. Seriously.And no, I won't be signing up or sending people there, at least not right now. It's on you to present a good case for why the Chicago-area DSM community needed yet another empty forum to schlep parts on.Edit: Jesus Goddamn Christ. You posted this crap...
Oh dear god.Another one? So that's DSMtuners, ChitownDSM, the Facebook group, and now your site? (And the old chicagodsm mailing list is still there, even though noone ever posts anymore.)The fact that there are more sub-forums than actual posts over there suggests how well this is going to...
Noone is trying to ruin your unofficial sales here by pointing out concerns (although, you might want to consider becoming a supporting freelancer before you run afoul of the rules too badly), so try to take it in the spirit it's being given: constructive criticism.North/south drivetrain...
No problems with cracking or leaking with that setup? I'd be concerned about the amount of leverage produced by the engine vibrating a mass of solid fittings that far outboard, with nothing to dampen it.
Step one: Register a domain. Have your chosen domain registrar host your DNS for you.Step two: Register for Google Apps Standard Edition, and set up the email service with your domain.Step three: Give yourself an email address. Heck, give some of your friends email addresses while you're...
Back when my crate was running, it had both a DSMtuners.com sticker on the wing, and ChicagoDSM (old school) stickers on the rear side windows. I got a loud "WOO!" out the window from a 3/S guy driving past me once, but that was about it. ;)If you really want to do something to drum up local...
Cool, glad to know the MIVEC code can be basically ignored. :) I suppose that makes sense, thinking about how it works; I just hadn't spent a whole lot of time considering it.As to compatibility: the CPUs are different generations of the same basic processor. The subset of the instruction...
Looks like they do it to all ECUs that come across their desk, and they do in fact consider your warranty void if you open the case (see last paragraph):Motoguy's Garage | 12 Month Limited WarrantyThe warranty also doesn't cover anyone using the ECU in "commercial, modified or racing...
Those problems you had on gasoline are pretty typical for a 1600. For me, this graph really drove home why. Log your IPW at idle, and it'll be pretty obvious what's happening. (I don't have a helpful suggestion, unfortunately, other than to raise your idle RPM to higher than the trouble point...
Awesomesauce. Seriously, that's a cool little find, although there's quite a bit of bodywork needed from the looks of things (corrosion has probably dug into everything).Wikipedia actually has a page about it, believe it or not. ;) No production numbers, though.Sadly, it seems like most...
I got some "interesting" redirects to a particularly amusing malware site while visiting chitowndsm.com the day after it happened. (I'm on Linux, so a website that looks like Windows Explorer telling me that my computer is infectorized isn't very believable. ;))Unless Mike has a new site...
That's some damn good guitar! This guy needs to be paired up with someone who does audio recording for a living, though. :)It's interesting to compare his first few uploads to the most recent ones; did I see both Ave Maria and Led Zeppelin tossed in there? There's a cool acoustic take on...
Wow, I must have been half-asleep when I wrote that; where's my "English mother####er, do you speak it?" image? :pNo, chicagodsm wasn't hacked; it's just a simple mailing list that came years before the ChitownDSM forum. Steve emailed the mailing list a few days ago mentioning that he'd...
I just picked up the second of the two books, sight-unseen, because I trust Tom not to steer me too wrong on this. (Although, given the ringing endorsement, I expected to see ECMLink screenshots in the book. :D)First, I was surprised: the material is very dense, well-illustrated, and not...
