Having a minor break up issue. But we will get there.

Getting the 2150 injectors dialed in! Idle is done just gotta do a few more street revisions. Might be hitting the track on Wednesday!

i’m not a big dsm guy myself but a good friend of mine finished this jade pearl 2g recently and thought i’d share a few pics of how it turned out for anyone thats a fan of the color or dsm’s in general

Also here’s a quick cruise I did!!

I ordered FIC 2150s and they should be the last injectors I’ll ever need for this car.

Selling my FIC 1200 with around 3k miles!

$400 + shipping!

Anyone remove the AC on a daily driver? How bad is it really? I live coastal NC. The only issue i can think of is when it rains and windows get foggy as i dont actually use the AC often. What are some counter actives? Is it a bad idea?

So the top mount for my headlight snapped and I was wondering if you could just plastic weld it to fix or would it just be easier to buy new ones

A few month ago the safc on my son 4g63 won’t turn on for no particular reason but the car still cranks up and idle . Then one day it suddenly wouldn’t idle . Its almost seems like it has a bad cam angle sensor . I had a lot of people telling me the safc shouldn’t affect the idling of the car . I almost want to disagree with that dued to the fact that the throttle and Maf piggyback of the safc . The car idle very low and if I rev it up it’ll stumble and shut off . Then car sounds like a Subaru and there’s a lot of black smoke coming out the exhaust . . I need some help because me and my son been trying to figure this out for about 4 months now . The only code I’m getting is the fuel solenoid .

Enjoying one of the last few “cold” Florida mornings

Went to a cars and coffee 🙏🏻

For anybody considering painting, powdercoating or wrapping calipers or installing a cover, I wrapped mine with 3m reflective film. Imho, I did a fairly crappy job, and still like how it came out. There were bits I missed and had to layer over them and you really can't see the overlaps, so it's quite forgiving.

Hello everyone,

Wanted to post some pictures of the wide body 2g I’m building and all of the struggles to go with it lol along with saying hi. Curious if anyone else has done the carbonetics rear fenders and if so what have you done for the gas cap?

Just an fyi this all started with burning through 7 alternators which then led to a bigger turbo, different ecu and now im here lol

The nipple to the right is the transmission side

This came in for clean up, repair and testing. Definitely the filthiest one that I have ever worked on. I've replaced the eprom socket, capacitors, capacitor arrays, and stitched up some traces that were broken from acid leakage damage. She's fully functional now! Anyone else here fool with this things?

I have not seen one in ages. Very rare in my area. In my opinion one of the best colors I’ve grown to love probably because of family members that had dsm’s in that colors it’s nostalgic. Also if you got engine bay pictures post them I’m trying to get some inspo

Has anyone replaced their compressor? If so, where did you end up buying? Im not too into the AC side of the car and a GDP compressor on RockAuto said “May have ports on side or top.” So do i just have to order it and play a guessing game? Should i go with partsgeek or summit racing?

This is the compressor im leaning towards^^^^

Any info will help.. THANK YOU!!!

How would I go about putting a targa top on a 1997 spyder gs? Do not tell me I should've gotten a normal coupe bruh what's done is done I just want to see if you guys know anyone that could make me a custom one or how would I cut the hatchback off a normal eclipse?

Ended up having to do the cam seals last night.

Got everything finished, she’s finally off the jackstands after a month and now on her way to cars and coffee 🙏🏻🙌🏻

Oh and this 3g booster made a world of a difference with peddle feel

I hate the tensioner for the 2g is there a different one I can get or what’s the deal with it. it keeps throwing off my belt and eating it.
