I'm going to go with the Gates 20820- Looks like it will come off and go straight to the lower hose without sitting on my linkage. Will keep you guys posted.... Maybe :)

The hose is sitting right on my linkage and going into 2nd and 3rd is a pain. I have the FP 4"intake, which is already huge- So the hose has to come off the block a little before bending under the intake- causing it to sit on my shift cables. Like, right on them.Was going to get some ebay hose...

Could you post pics? I would like to see how this looks. I'm considering just purchasing a generic Ebay hose that is bendable and making it fit.

Where's that lip from? Ssoo beaauuttiiffulll

Yeah aside from the tires- I would also replace the fuel filter. You don't know what kind of deposits have been sitting in there- And it could get ugly.I would also choose a thin shot of WD40 / White Lithium grease on the throttle body butterfly. Just to make sure it's still in working order...

NLMotoring has the silver, but I want the Matte Silver.http://www.indigo-gt.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=217_378_380_379&products_id=1316

I want this in silver. Only found them on one site- And It's the only color I think will look good on my car. Beautiful wheels. The XXR 550's are nice too.. but the 527's are just... beautiful on DSM's.

Dude I have no idea. The rear wiper is busted. I think the motor is off track. And yeah... playing Candy Crush until help arrived.

So, my symptoms are sputtering under acceleration, poor idle and the car almost dieing after a bleep-bleep kind of rev.Horrible to drive, and my plugs are covered in carbon/sut leading to poor start/idle.Car finally threw a CEL and reads as the TPS. Is this all related? Would all of this be...

I'm torn between ordering stock foglights or aftermarket Ebay one's! Such a pain trying to figure out which would be easier to put HID's in.

First day driving it after 6 months, and this is what I get. At least I have an excuse to buy new wheels and tires now. So today I got my car put back in my garage.Hopefully wheels and tires are soon to come.

Is it a difficult repair to the common shock tower rust? Or is that an issue worth looking for a clean shell over?

What color interior?

They're all so beautiful!! :hellyeah:

Did you ever install these Cipher seats? I'm considering getting a pair myself.

Ever sell your interior?

What ever happened to this install?

302_, People have been wrapping cars in vinyl for decades. It's nothing new. Advertising vans, metro buses- etc. They last years in sunlight. Hell, they used to trim houses in vinyl. Black, blue, purpose or yellow- Doesn't matter the color, vinyl wrap is durable.

Man, sounds like many of you have been victims of uninformed mechanics and workers. No one has thought to approach these people to cover the cost of repairs? The smog people, the tow truck man, etc? "You break, you buy" right?

I don't think the plasti dipped hood will look good. You're setting yourself up for disappointment. The texture won't match your cars' paint texture and it will look like a junkyard hood.Get on ebay- Buy some black vinyl wrap (black gloss) and wrap your hood in high gloss black vinyl. It will...

Man... Some serious $$$ is going into this!!"Cheap. Fast. Reliable. You can only have two"You sir, are clearly going for fast and reliable.

Holy sweetness ... This is amazing. I wish I knew how to do fab and fiberglass :-/

I have called shops here in my area that tune WRX's, MS6 (All the COBB stuff), GTR's and EVO's (AWD dyno shops) and none of them were familiar with DSM's or ECMlink. One even said DSM's were a bit dated and it would take them some time to either research or find another tuner. They must be so...

I think once you answer some of Priority's questions, we'll have a better idea of where you're coming from.I had a similar issue and ended up being my side-mount intercooler piping had come undone. Without details we can't help you trace down your problem very well...

Fuel pump could be shot from sitting so long (very common). Bring a can of something very flamable to spray into the throttle body while trying to start it up. If the car doesn't start on its own, give this a shot to troubleshoot the fuel pump.And yeah, I must agree with Yukiz- When you add...

I know about ECMlink and Evo flash- they both have their strong suits.My question is for someone who does not plan on doing the tuning themselves, which would a tuner shop be more familiar with?ECU flash can use EVO Scan, right? So would tuner shops be more familiar with ECU Flash than...

Man this is looking good. Excited for you! What a steal!

What on planet earth is this beast of a mother? This is insane. How did you get the transmission to mate up to the flywheel? Direct fit?

This is going to be quite the under taking. I once saw a set of full LED Eclipse tail lights, but never found anyone selling them. Too bad you didn't get to finish the project!

Way to come through... but did you have to destroy yours for this photo? :confused:

LoL! Driving DSM's in the rain is fun- but I've never done the snow. I don't think I have the right tires for that. Besides... we rarely get snow down here.

What is a good brand or a supplier (besides ebay) of SS brake lines for DSM's? Now I'm very interested. My suspension has been restored to stock by previous owner, and the spindles are non-abs.... My concern would be that SS brake lines would cause me to lock up easier?Should I focus on...

Not to highjack here- But will the SS brake lines improve the feel of the brake pedal?

Will you be doing this yourself or taking it to a shop? If you don't know your way around a DSM just yet- this is not a job to learn on. Take it to the shop and have your powersteering looked into and have the TOB replaced and clutch inspected.

^^ Agree! I've owned a 2g Talon and 2g Eclipse- Honestly? I think the 2gb Talon's are the best looking DSM's. I dig that Spyder Talon photo man! That's sick!

Swapping to a clean shell sounds like a great idea, but it will cost a lot more money (possibly) than having the rust repaired. I agree with what was said earlier- Fix the rust before you even think about performance.You have a few LONG term options.1. Repair the rust, then build the car...

Dude- You've got some solid replies about the o2 sensor and the boost leak test. However, fixing your CEL which is also pertaining to your fuel issue could solve the problem. Fuel solenoid can be a mpg robber!

So I have a 52mm A/F ratio gauge that is mounted on a 2 pod instrument bezel (steering column)- I have a dual 60mm A-pillar gauge which is full. I can't think of a fourth gauge to fill this empty hole, so I'm considering putting the stuck instrument gauge bezel back in, and mounting the A/F...

SSooo beautiful..... I want your fender flares.You used to have the 240z flares on it, right?

What sort of boost controller do you have? And how is your BOV hosed up? Also- Double check for boost leaks. Especially after putting on a FMIC? It's possible that there is a loose clamp or a boost leak some place causing the creep and fuel cut.

I've had this problem before. Ensure that your throttle body on the manifold has the stopping mechanism attached to it. When closed, the throttle has a resting mechanism, so that the throttle door doesn't just keep closing until it's open on the other side... If that makes sense. If this is not...

I would also say interior. So cheap and rattles. Next would be reliability. I feel bad for getting on it, because I'm afraid something i going to break.

We've all seen this beautiful black GSX with fender flares. I'm really considering doing this and putting on some 17x9's all the way around.Could someone photoshop this to silver with black fender flares- and then all silver?This forum has pictures too...

That seems like a lot of work. But i think it would definitely look nice when done!
