Im actually looking to get some parts for my Celica polished and want to know if the DSMers have any good links.I remember someone on here used to do powder coating but I cant recall who. So any links for reliable powdercoating or polishing would be great :)

Subject says it all. Ive had someone local asking me questions over the last couple days so I sent him a couple videos of my GST when it was in its glory. The videos really made me miss my car :(

Do any of you guys have experience with the Motorola V60p? Im thinking of purchasing it for my Verizon plan with the new push to talk feature.I dont need to compare phone services, just want to know if people have any direct feedback of that particular phone?<img...

Now before everyone jumps down my throat and calls me a rice boy, or says this is blasphemy or whatever I can imagine being said remember that this is my DAILY DRIVER :)Its a 1999 Honda Civic EX (SOHC VTEC) 5spd. It has 177k miles on it but it drives like buttah. So this is my daily...

Well I totalled the GSX last month so that did that car in. And as of yesterday June 25th I sold the GST.I am soo glad to not have any car payments now as I can relax a little bit more and not worry about finding a job this exact moment.Anyway it has been fun, I do intend on sticking...

Ok so here is the scenario, imagine this being you and give me your input.Your 25 years old. You live at home with your parents who mind you are very cool.You have no job, infact you worked for the same company for 5 years but you were let go a month ago because of differences with...

Please stop AIMing me and asking me if I have parts to sell off the GSX. My car is gone and I managed to pull a few things off of it which in due time I will try and sell. I am not mobile right now and will not be for a few months.In this time with the accident still fresh in my memory the...

Ok I have my techedge wideband kit and my NTK L1H1 sensor that I am ready to install now. What I need to know is how can I use the NTK sensor in place of my stock o2 sensor? I know you can do this with the AEM I used to run but can you still do this with the stock ECU?

What are the differences between the GSX and GST shocks/springs. I have my stock shocks/springs still assembled from the GSX in a box and Id like to take them and put them on the GST when I take off the Koni/GC setup thats on their right now. I am pretty sure that the shocks are the same but...

There is a bolt on the front of the head that can be used as an oil source, I need to know what size fitting and thread I would use for this. Im getting my oil supply off the side of the head right now but I want to hook up an oil pressure gauge in the engine bay off the front of the head to...

I have a few questions regarding the techedge wideband o2 kit for the AEM EMS owners who use it. Ive already posted this on AEM and Im waiting to see if I get a reply over there or not. I figured it cant hurt to seek out AEM owners not on that forum.1) If I order it with the display can i...

Im looking for new tires for the GSX. I am currently running Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712s and Im honestly not that happy with them. I can feel that my tires are the first thing to give when going around a corner now with the suspension in place. Im pretty much deadset on getting the Azenis sports...

Hey guys I was just out driving and the car died on me. I found out that the igniton fuse under the hood had popped. I put in another fuse and it popped right away. I know that in general when a fuze keeps popping it is because of a bad ground but Im not sure where the bad ground could...

I have a set of these wires and for some reason the boot on the #2 cyclinder keeps popping out and causing the car to misfire. Does anyone else have these wires and have a suggestion on how to keep this from happening?

I have the TCE 12.2" 4 piston caliper Wilwood kit and Im curious if anyone here knows for sure if it will fit under a 16" Rota Slipstream wheel?I already called TCE and they said they do not know for sure.

Does anyone have the AEM EMS that also has 1g in a 2g. I am curious as to how the AEM EMS handles the random misfires caused from using a 1st gen CAS on the 2g?Have you encountered any other problems with the EMS that should be known before purchasing one?

I have an unusual question for you guys. Currently I only have 2 nuts and 1 bolt holding in my passenger seat as I cant get the bracket to line up for the left rear bolt to go in.I wasnt to worried about this because the seat is secure with the 2 nuts and 1 bolt I have in there for now...

anyone have this on their AWD yet? Im curious what your thoughts on the suspension are, I ordered it and Im anxiously awaiting it.

I want to get the Apexi N1 catback for the GSX but I want a 3" downpipe this time instead of the 2.5" downpipe that Apexi makes. Does anyone know what other downpipes will mate up to the N1 exhasut?

when ordering this suspension Im assuming I am going to have to specify the spring rate as I did with my GC coilovers. What should i go with and why?

has anyone ever taken the dash out of their 2g DSM, can you tell me what needs to be done?

is there a way to test a 1st gen CAS to make sure its working properly?

I thought you guys might find this dyno sheet interesting.. Its a comparison of my best dyno runs with the T25, Big28 and L2R.<A HREF="http://www.newcelica.org/larryd/dyno/dyno-comparison.jpg" target="_new"><b>Click Here</b></a>

I was just looking at a log I did today at the dyno and I noticed when I hit my peak whp of 383 the injector duty cycle is at 97%. Im wondering if my injectors could be to small, is 97% over the limit?

I know some of you may be interested in the results. So here goes..Mod List..1st Gen Throttle Body (60mm) 1st Gen Intake Manifold (60mm)2nd Gen Ported Head Crower SS 1mm Oversized Valves Crower Springs & Retainers 1990 Eclipse Cams Crower Cam Gears2nd Gen Ported...

In a nutshell I went to the track on Friday, I put in 3 gallons of 116 leaded with almost no other gas in the car and I got bad timing and severe knock all night long. read more here..http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=181355#post181355Im curious if what Ive been...

C16 and 40 Degree weather dont mix on my car..Last night I went to the track. I got there and had no gas so I put in 3 gallons of C16. I turned the boost up from 15psi I had been running on the street to 23psi and made no other changes which lead to bad knock that entire run.I tried...

Hey guys I just got alot of little issues on my car fixed up such as.I only had a 0.4 bar spring in my wastegate which obviously caused my wastegate to open WAY to soon. I now how have 1.1 bar spring in the wastegate which is allowing me much better boost response.I had a pretty...

anyone have any idea how much it would cost to have custom intercooler piping made? Instead of selling my greddy FMIC and piping Im thinking of keeping the core and just having new larger more direct piping made but I dont even know the first thing about where to go. any ideas?

Is there any difference between the coil packs for any year DSM? I have a problem with spark right now where it feels like the car is only running on 2 cylinders sometimes. I have a 90 coil pack on my 91 engine in my 98 and Im wondering if this is causing problems.Also is there a way to...

I have a coolant leak that appears to be on the backside of the engine. I would just put the car on jack stands and search for this leak BUT its random. It has only happened 2x and each time ive brought the car home to look at it its stopped. My question is how is it possible to have a...

Im thinking 2x before posting in here but Id really like informative answers on this question.What causes knock and do we defeat it?

Due to my oil issues Ive had with the car my brake pads are saturated with oil so I obvioulsy should replace them soon. I have the 12.2" 4 piston TCE Wilwood Big Brake Kit and the pads that came with it. Im looking for the next step up in braking, anyone have suggestions?

I was driving home from the DSM meet today and I was on it in 3rd gear when all of a sudden the car bucked hard and my CEL came on. pulled over, hooked up my laptop, and retreived the CEL code of Random Cylinder Misfire. I got out and checked everything and it was all fine, nothing appears to...

I have really bad luck... I put a Tblock where the factory oil pressure sender is and mounted both the factory and my greddy oil pressure gauge there. well last night that Tblock decided to break apart and blow out mucho oil.. The threading for the tblock is stuck inside the oil cooler still...

where can i get MSD wires cheap and fast?

so when I was out last night trying to get LTFT and STFT values I was coming back and I jumped on the car. Unfortunately the car damn near died and stuttered really bad. I figured I just blew an IC pipe off again so I Pulled over to look at it.I checked all the piping and every hose...

How do you set the base ignition timing on a 2nd gen that has a 6 bolt block with a 1st gen adjustable CAS. I know on the 1st gen you have a wire that you can ground and it stops the timing from jumping all over the place at idle but since the 2g wasnt meant to have adjustable base ignition...

so im riding to work tonight just cruising along when I notice my speedo is fluctuating from 90-110 mph when im doing around 60.. About 30 seconds later it just died and doesnt read anyting now.. any ideas what could be wrong..Im thinking the speed sensor in the tranny but I have no clue...

I just want to know if anyone is running the dsmlink with my exact setup.. Bosch 650s, AGP L2R (equivalent turbo), Supra pump.. what is your global fuel set at..did you set your LTFT and STFT?

I need to know what fuel pressure I should be running when I set the chargedair AFPR.I have Supra pump and Bosch 650 injectors for the AGP L2R.. right now at idle with the hose off its 39, with the hose on its 29.. what should it be?

how do i hook up the hoses on my tial 40mm to run just off the wastegate and eliminate the boost controller all together?? I have a top nipple and bottom nipple on the ext gate, so what do i hook them up to?Larry

this is becoming an all to familiar incident for me. Picture this....your driving down the street and poof a nice cloud of smoke off the back of your car and your oil light comes on. You coast to a stop and check it out.. Nothing is obviouslyl leaking as the whole bottom side of your car...

Hey guys I finally got my laptop to work with DSMlink so I can start the wonderous mystery of tuning. I did a log this morning and I found something quite disturbing. Ive uploaded a screen shot of the log to my webserver athttp://www.newcelica.org/temp/dsmlink-10-02-02-1.jpgIve also...

When I ordered it a long time ago I dont recall being asked what spring pressure I wanted so I have no clue what it is. Im trying to determine what my wastegate is opening up really soon on my setup and why ifs fluctuating.. Its either the wastegate itself or the Profec B.. Anyone know how to...

as the title says.. Im looking for someone who actually has this hooked up and it works right so I can mock their setup.. I dont want the directions outta VFAQ or off Greddy's page cuz its not working for me. I want to know what someone actually has.. All hoses goes where??

I need new motor mounts but I really dont want prothane ones as I know the whole car will shake violently and thats no good for a daily driver so my question is are there any performance motor mounts out there that arent prothane and if so where can I get it? If not I guess Ill just get OEM...
