JMoushon, PM me. I can't send you a PM for some reason...
Thanks Dakota. I'll definitely consider it. How's the GST coming along? -------------------- If the sound of a DSM in the distance rowing through the gears gives you a hardon, you might be a car enthusiast.

Pretty good I just replaced most of my vac and emissions lines, put new plugs in her and put my valve cover on . Tomorrow I am going to replace the rest of the lines and possibly take her around the block...

Hahah good to hear.
Well I got that belt on tonight. Just got a new one from Advanced for like $15.. So my exhaust rattle is: Heat shield around catalytic converter is loose so I needs some nuts/bolts to fix it, or just have my exhaust end at the dp. Need to remove the bolts from the flange tomorrow since they wouldn't budge tonight.... -------------------- If the sound of a DSM in the distance rowing through the gears gives you a hardon, you might be a car enthusiast.

I went through my fair share of headaches with my DSM's power steering. Now that you have that belt on, be aware of it stretching a little bit here in the next couple of weeks. You will have to tighten it up a little bit more after that stretching.

QUOTE (93dsmowner @ May 7 2008, 06:35 AM) Sound isn't as important as flow. I didn't mind my Eclipse and not only was it obnoxious, but not that rumble that everyone loves. I just want a 3" pipe that goes from the turbo to the bumper with an Apexi N1 muffler. Only reason I see to go to a Megan Racing/Buschur/Apexi full exhaust is for the research/design and a few less decibels... not saying that sound is everything.... I think both are important... but I do have to say that my 3" pressbent system flowed good enough to see the occasional flames out the tip and mine was 3" from the turbo to the rear bumper with a straight through designed dynomax muffler. sounded good too and with the 3" tip it didn't look or sound as outragious as a lot of the guys cars who have the giant 5 incher tips on them... for a couple hundred I would say that Brian Neamore could hook you up pretty good... just go in and talk with him and tell him what you want. -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!

I don't see the point in going out and spending $500+ on a exhaust... Just get a ebay 3" down pipe, 3" test pipe, and 3" cat back w/ n1 style muffler. for around $300-350... in the end it's just piping...

Well I think I'll just get a full 3" from parts on Ebay. 3" DP and TP... a catback on there is still like $450. Midpipe and muffler or anything else?
I might be able to get some funding help and start a REAL project.  We'll have to wait and see.

Hmm alright...
Anyways, played with the car tonight. I can get the car into gear without grinding in all gears! If I put the brakes on and slip the clutch in like 2nd or 4th gear, I can smash the clutch and throw it into 1st or 3rd without grinding... Also, you know how you can't put the shifter into gear unless the clutch is in or the syncs line up? Well, the syncs on 2nd and 4th keep things out without grinding, whereas the syncs for 1st and 3rd let me in to grind gears. So it IS my syncros... Need to fix my tight shifter feel and get a syncro kit in the tranny. Will I need anything else replaced? $800 is just a little steep for a rebuild for me at the moment... -------------------- If the sound of a DSM in the distance rowing through the gears gives you a hardon, you might be a car enthusiast.

You won't really know what you need until you pull the trans apart.
If the syncros have been bad for a while, you'll most likely need some gears and the hubs and sliders. That's what happen to me. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

Well I think I am going to do the economy rebuild from Jacks Transmissions or the Stage 1.5 from TRE. Gotta get the $$$ first.

Ok, so more fiddling today and I discovered another new find.
If I go from 2nd to 1st quickly I get no grind. I'm going to put in some 85-140W Coastal Gear oil in and see if it helps since it's never been rebuilt. -------------------- If the sound of a DSM in the distance rowing through the gears gives you a hardon, you might be a car enthusiast.

85-140W Coastal made a big difference. Extremely smooth shifts and much less grinding.
Will Syncromesh stop the grinding? -------------------- If the sound of a DSM in the distance rowing through the gears gives you a hardon, you might be a car enthusiast.
