I noticed while working on my car yesterday it's missing a rubber ring that goes between the lock barrel and the door handle. Does anyone have a Mitsubishi part number for this or know what it's called? Thanks!

Is anyone planning to go to the CUSCC Auto Show April 21 at Flatirons Mall?

I need some help. I also have a hobby of doing triathlons and would like to do something unique this year on my race helmet. I've tossed ideas around in my head of maybe just doing a 3M chrome wrap- easiest. Or a custom printed design. Problem is no one in triathlons or biking really weraps...

I was reading this months Modified Magazine and I saw the Enmo Motorsports dual master cylinder setup on their project S2000. They said the bracket would fit most Honda's. It really looks like this bracket could fit the DSM easily. It removed the brake booster and you can run two Tilton master...

In this update I have started to install the interior wiring harness. I started from the back and worked my way forward. This will be one of the least exciting updates. I am personally pumped when I can get the dash back in, install my Sparco seats and install my Schroth harness! Stay tuned!In...

Well, nothing much has happened since the interior was sprayed. I wanted to allow for enough time for the paint to dry. I started to install the pedals. And I also picked up some OEM body plugs from the dealer!

Well, after many hours of prep work I finally finished painting the interior. From the outset I didn't have any experience doing body work, there was a learning curve to this whole project and I came away with a much better understanding of what goes into body work. I wish I could stress the...

I now have moved on to test fitting the new Sparco Circuit seat that I have. I also decided to upgrade to a much better harness too, I decided on the Schroth Profi II Hans 6pt. Schroth supplies harnesses to all the Nascar teams, probably 50% of the F1 teams, and Porsche Motorsports uses only...

I bough the paint and everything else. I continue to grind away at the seam sealer. There is a lot of dust. Prepping with red scotch brite pads by hand (this sucks). As you can see, all the sound deadening and seam sealer is removed! That was by far the most time consuming part, besides removing...

Ok, so up to this point I've been working hard to strip my car. Now the fun part can start- prepping the metal for the paint. Actually, this part sucked and taught me that it takes a lot of time. It's fairly easy to do, but it just takes a lot of time! The sound deadening in the trunk on the...

Ok, so the progress has fairly stagnant lately. I started from the back of the car and have worked my way forward. It has been a lot of work to get to the front. Another thing to note: I removed the A/C unit and the heater unit. That will free up some room under the dash!After the last of the...

Ok, not much progress in this update. I did strip everything at least to half way. It took a lot of time to decide the order everything comes out in and to label every nut and bolt so it goes back together properly and easily. A lot of doubt was going through my mind at this point! What did I...

Continued to strip the interior. Making progress.

Let's kick things off! The seats had just been removed, and I was test fitting my new harness bar before painting. The sound deadening on the rear wheel tub proved to be the hardest to remove.

I want to install my racing harness correctly so I am safe in the event of a wreck. I posted a picture to show you all what I have so far! Help please! :cool:

I was wondering where I could buy new factory pins for the engine bay connectors/ clips? I was thinking of messing with my engine bay wiring harness and cleaning it up, removing all the connectors and rebuilding with new pins.

I need help with identifying what connectors are for what. I labeled most all connectors when I removed my interior wiring harness, but some connectors were not connected to anything. I want to remove any wire and connectors from the harness that I can. MB942485- JNZ's site says- Fuel system -...

I can set up a room online for DSMTuner's. Anyone interested in joining me tonight or in the future? My PSN is TurboFlash

How is the best way to unclip the wires that run from under the dash to the doors. My car is gutted at the moment and I can only open the door half way. It's hard to examine how it clips it. I already have removed the 2 screws that hold that big plastic piece in place.

I'm looking to buy a new harness. I'm wondering what everyone favorite color is out of red, blue and black.

Anyone watch the Chinese GP yesterday? Just after I thought Lewis Hamilton had his best race in Malaysia, he races like this in China. And before Malaysia I thought he raced one of his best races in Australia. China was superb! Petrov scored points which was exciting! Sutil also raced well but...

I was just wondering what the brake pedal would feel like if you deleted the stock brake booster and OEM master cylinder and replaced it with a Wilwood, Tilton, Brembo master cylinder? I have seen a few brake booster delete kits for the Evo and I just saw a new kit coming out for the DSM that...

I was looking to buy a helmet that would be Snell SA2005. There is talk that the next rating is SA2010. If I bought a SA2005 helmet would it become obsolete once the SA2010 helmets hit the market in a couple months. Would I be able to use the SA2005 in NASA even after 2010?

Is there any company or supporting vendor that CNC's a double DIN radio block-off plate?

Ok, I finished my automatic to manual swap a while ago, but I was left with a lot of wires from the A/T tcu that are unused and are taking up space in the engine and under the dash. What's involved with removing these wires? Will I run into issues removing them? Are some wires connected to the...

Surprise! Sorry if you can't read Portuguese. But this is a great Brazilian website for F1 announcements. They announced Rubens switch to Williams a whole 4 weeks before the other English F1 websites did. This is Brazil's equivalent of ESPN or BBC Sports...

I just bought the Prothane bushing kit for the front control arm upper and lower. I was looking at the contents of the kit and saw only 2 bushings that would fit the lower lateral arms. The bushings that I bought new lateral arms for this and was wondering if only one bushing gets replaced on...

I think I may have an issue with 4th gear on my tranny. I had it rebuilt about a year and half ago by Shep. I had the Stage 2 FWD rebuild with double sycrons 1-4 gear. I've been working on my car since then so I think I've only logged about 500 miles on it. My car isn't tuned so I haven't been...

So I have a feeling Briatore is going down big time with this. In fact I would love to see him lose his big Force Blue yacht. Renault seems angry that the people in charge of their F1 operation ruined their company's image. Nelsinho seems like he got screwed over by having Briatore being his...

I came across this stuff called Evans NPG+ Super coolant. Has anyone tried it? I read the PDF file on it and it seems to be awesome stuff. Overall, it cools better, is waterless, corrodes less, is a lifetime coolant, and it is safe on the environment and animals. Evans NPG+ WATERLESS Super...

How much head room do you need to fit a helmet on your head without hitting the roof? Right now I believe I have 2" of head room, but it may actually be 2.5- 3". Is that enough?

So even though Source Interlink is filing for bankruptcy (Chapter 11), all of our favorite car magazines (Modified, Motor Trend, etc) will still stick around. Chapter 11 will just allow Source Interlink to get out from under $1b in debt.Source: Source Interlink Files for Bankruptcy, Will...

Does anyone know what fittings you need to match up with the hard lines that come off the car? I am interested in knowing how to make my own SS brake lines for my 2g.

Does anyone know if companies like Pagid, Ferodo, PFC or Hawk make special order pads. I can only find full race pads for the Brembo calipers I want use. It makes perfect sense since they are a race calipers. But I also want the flexibility of running my car on the street.

I just read this article a while ago about an asphalt shortage in the US. I started to think outside the box, imagine the consequences on the races tracks that still need to be built in Colorado. Genoa Motorsports Park and The Motorsports Country Club. I just wouldn't count on those anytime...

Why won't Google, Yahoo, or MSN work for me? What's going on? I can't search for it, so I'm asking you all. It's so weird.

Where are the caliper brackets that allow you to use radial-mount calipers? The best calipers out there use a radial mount, why aren't they offered for our cars? Maybe someone out there offers these?

What is the thread for the plastic drain plug on the PWR radiator? That drain plug is horrible and extremely stubborn to remove, I'd love to replace it with an aluminum fitting I can easily get out.

What kills an alternator? More specifically my alternator? I replaced it 2 years ago with a brand new Bosch. And now after working on my car for a couple months I drive it to work for the first time and on the drive home my gauge freaked out that there was low voltage. I check everything, and...

I talked about this car in a previous thread. A local race shop that a buddy of mine works at just completed building two Volvo S60R race cars to compete next year in the Speed World Challenge. These Volvo's are replacing their championship winning line-up of Porsche GT3 Cup cars. Without the...

I searched and read that the car will run fine. I'm trying to figure out why my monster tach won't get a signal. I did pull apart the engine and I have a very good idea that I forget to ground the power transistor when I installed a new intake manifold. So if the power transistor is not...

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience using the Auto Meter tach adapter. Where did you wire it in?Auto Meter

I thought I would share a quick story. I went to Lowe's Motor Speedway a couple weeks ago. I was with the M&M's team. We lined up on pit road with the team for the national anthem and prayer. We got a condo in turn one to watch the race, but we spent much of the race with the #18 team. Here's...

I'm having trouble with getting an RPM signal to my Stack dash display. I'm kind of at a last resort. But nothing DSM-specific. I'm currently getting the RPM signal from the wire off the ECU. The same place I pulled the RPM signal when I had my Apexi AFCII. So I know it's right.From my...
