Some of you may know I've been into the car audio scene for a while now and I've done a few pretty loud and elaborate installs. Well I just completed my most extensive install to date, and its in my Ram.For this install the goal was simple, to get the truck loud as fawk and look good doing...

Sorry for the long post but bear with me as this it makes more sense as a whole stort.Hey all, 2 months ago my buddy bought a 92 awd 6 bolt. Basically he doesn't know much about cars and I am his DSM guru/ mechanic. I have done every bit of work and maintenance on the car. I have also been...

Just wanted to post some pics of my new summer toy, 06 Suzuki GSX-R750. Picked it up in Chicago this weekend, from the original owner, who never rode it. I picked it up with 293 virgin miles on it, for an unbelievable $6500.

Please change the color of the wheels to black. Gloss, semi gloss, satin, whatever looks best.Just wondering how it would look on the car.Thanks, Dan.

Well I think my tool box may break down.Can anyone figure out why? :):D

Last night I turned the NLTS back on and set it to 5500, and its been working great from a 7200 shift point.Anyways I stomp on it in 1st and then shift it hard into 2nd. I shifted it really quick and hard. As I shifted into 3rd, something didn't feel right.The clutch pedal itself now...

Well today, I was going to go to TRE and have Jon check out my trans.I leave and head down the road and pull up to a stop sign and the car all of a sudden idles at about 2500 RPM. I'm like OK??? I get out and try adjusting the Biss, maybe it came loose? But no, it was nearly closed. I couldn't...

Hey guys. I recently got my Fidanza Short Shifter in and I am in the process of installing it but I am running into a problem. Im actually wondering if i was shorted a set of bushings/bearings from Fidanza. As you can see from the pics, the unit won't fit with the bushings, at all. Its like the...

So I pulled my trans today so I can take it up to TRE and right as I was pulling it out and down the tranny mount "ear" on the block fell off. This is the rear "ear" on the block. It just fell off when I pulled the trans off. Searching on some forums most have this problem with the front "ear"...

Can anyone explain the ins and outs of adjusting Koni yellows? I just got my set in and I want to set them up properly but the only info that came with it I can't halfway understand. Do you have to remove the rears to adjust, etc?Thanks, Dan.

This will show you how to install the Dynamic Motorsports Engineering (DME) rear camber kit for 1g AWD's. This involves removing the upper rear control arm and replacing the bushing with this piece.The DME camber kit can be found here.http://www.dmotorsporte.com/prod01.htmFirst jack up...

Anyone running this kit from DME? Looks to be a good alternative rather than buying a Ingalls kit for much for money. If you run it, how was the installation, etc. Overall quality, etc. Any info and specs you can give would be great.Thanks Dan.Here is a link...

Anyone run these? How do you like them? How is quality? How is overall ride on the street? Any problems with then? Would you buy them again? They have pretty decently stiff spring rates and drop 2.0".

Well I found some pics on the PC of me installing prothane mounts so I figured I'd post up a quick how to. I've used this method on a quite a few Prothane installs and it hasn't failed me yet, and its quick.Getting the mounts out of the car and back in is up to you, this just shows how to...

Well after blowing the seals in my last turbo (50 trim Turbonetics) I just picked up a PTE GT3561SP turbo. It uses Garrett internals and has a standard 360* Journal bearing system, not ball bearing.Anyways, I have concerns as to what the optimal oil pressure should be. I have heard that...

Hey all, anyone else have a 255 HP? If so, is it loud or quiet?I ask b/c I have a 190 in my 92 AWD, and its the usual Walbro whine. Loud, no rewire.However, I had a 255 HP in my 91 FWD w/out a sock and with and without a rewire I couldn't hear it.I now have the exact same 255 HP...

I'm wondering what is the correct way to hook up this kill switch. I mounted the batt in the rear and I can't come up with a solid answer. The instruction sheet that came with the switch states to run the switch with the engine/body ground, but I believe I read that NHRA rules require it to be...

I'm a 6 bolt guy and I'm helping a friend rebuild his 1g 7 bolt. I searched, but can't come up with the answer. I know 2g 7 bolts have 11mm head studs, but do 1g 7 bolts use 11 or 12mm studs? Thanks.

Hey all, I'll be shipping out a full 3" exhaust system for a 1g FWD, and I'm wondering if anyone knows in the ballpark of what the shipping charges will be. Its for a RNR 3" turboback for a 1g FWD with shipping from Lower Michigan to New Jersey or elsewhere. I don't know the weight.Thanks all.

I see one member on the DSMLink boards is parting out his car b/c it won't stop pushing coolant and I fear I'm on getting close to that road b/c I don't have or want to dump more money into this thing.Even after a new Mitsu MLS HG Wednesday, the car still pushes coolant out the overflow any...

Hey all, I fear I have a blown HG, or worse, a warped or cracked head, or cracking in the cylinder walls.The car is a new built 2.3L engine with just over 1100 miles on it. For the past 2-300 miles I've noticed the car pour coolant out of the overflow after some spirited, high boost...

Hey all, I've had this TT for a while now, I bought it used and didn't get a user manual or anything. I have it all hooked up but the only thing I know how to do is run and adjust the TT functions, start and stop the stopwatch, and view voltage, but I know I can use it as a shift light as well...

Long story short I hit a tree stump in my buddies parking area at his house and its obviously f'ed up bad and its leaking. Rather than spending $600 on a new core that I don't have I've decided to weigh out all my options. Upon inspection I found I'm not able to weld the leaks shut as it'd be...

Alright guys here the deal.Wednesday I started the install of a SBR LSD insert in my 91 turbo FWD trans. Everything was going as planned until.... I remove the large gear on the stock diff which is held in by 8 19mm bolts. You remove this gear to gain access to the small pin that needs to...

I recently ordered a JMFabrication Polished Heat sheild for use on any 1g, 2g, EvoIII or SBR cast manifolds. I asked Jim to cut a provision for a Tial 38mm WG mounted on the #1 runner. He did an awesome job at it. The cut is very smooth. It also includes very nice allen head bolts for a secure...

Hey guys, besides my beloved DSM, I also own a 93 Suzuki RM 250 MX bike, and since I bought it 2 years ago, its always had a problem w/ not wanting to start when its cold. When it's warm it will start right up 1st or 2nd kick, but sometimes when it's cold I have to tow it, or get a push down my...

My axles are getting to the point of getting bad. Starting to click, clank, pop, etc. So I'm going to need new ones soon. Also I finally got my hands on a set of slicks for the track... I will be pushing around 375 hp. Will stock axles hold up to the abuse that slicks will give them?For...
