Hey guys, I just purchased a black 2g, its a great car but I have one problem with it. No sunroof and I desperately want a sunroof. Manual would work for me, but power would be fantastic. Anyone have any experience on how much it costs to have one installed? Any reputable shops? Any Recommendations? I was thinking about making a trip to the junkyard and sawzalling the roof of a sunroof'd car and taking the whole peice to the bodyshop where they could cut and weld the sunroof portion of the roof onto my car. How realistic is this? Any cost estimates from anyone who has experience with bodywork? I just need to get one from somewhere somehow..any help will be appreciated. Nomie |

What are you planning on doing with the FWD shell? I need some parts from it, if you are planning on parting it out. You can reply to me at whatyameanbabe@yahoo.com Thanks! |

QUOTE (ncgalant @ Dec 21 2006, 10:12 PM) QUOTE (NOMIEZVR4 @ Dec 21 2006, 02:17 PM) The reason why I want to raise the pressure is because my stock injectors at 10lbs of boost are seeing close to 90% duty cycle. Im sure when I raise the boost, install the exhaust and cams I will need extra fuel.. So, raising the fuel pressure will have no adverse effects on gas mileage? No it won't. Closed loop can make up for that. I would recommend hacking the MAF one small bit at a time to make sure you don't take out to much. Log her between changes to see what happends. It may be enough just to take out the lower comb and then play with the adjustment screw in the bottom. I know stock these cars run on the rich side, so hacking the MAS should lean out the a/f ratio. Though my question to you is this, what exactly should I be looking for on the logger? Knock will be the #1 priority as always, but there is no accurate way of seeing if the car is running better or not without a wideband. What do you think? |

Since we are on the topic of gas mileage, I may as well ask a question. I have a mildly modded 1g DSM. -K&N -Intake/UICP -Spearco SMIC -MBC -Walbro-255 -Exhaust-not installed -DIY ported 14b/mani/o2 housing I will swap out the 255 with a 190 sometime in the near future because I dont have the $$$ for an AFPR and I dont plan on getting any major mods other than a mild set of cams. When that is done, I want to throw on a 2g fpr to get the most out of the 450cc injectors. Now here is my question. I know that by increasing the base fuel pressure a rich condition will exist at WOT because the 1g ECU still thinks the base FP is at 38.5psi when it will be 43.5. But while cruising, will the ECU be able to compensate for the higher pressure via the 02 sensor? I really would like to raise the pressure, but I dont want to do it at the expense of gas mileage. What do you guys think? Also, while im at it, since the fp will be higher, I will hack the MAS to lean out the mixture some more and have better combustion Nomie |

Marcus, thanks for the compliment. As I stated before, that car was REAL good to me..she was very forgiving and never complained one bit! Some more pictures..why not! I took them myself.. Josh, there is no need to apologize. I want you to tell as many people about the shootout as possible.. Hopefully I can find some fast FWD's..my 14b is not going to take me very far against you guys even on the highway.. As always, Josh is THE man if anyone wants to know what the race scene is like up in chitown..He is the guy thats in the middle of all the action, always! Nomie |

Guys, emailing the file takes a long time. Its quite large. I promise you it will remain on youtube. Its also posted on dsmvideo.vidiac.com The red GS-t was my old car that I purchased from Marcus in Peoria Now I have a black 90 GS-T that's currently getting the GSX bumper treatment, talon sides, eibach sportlines, BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR and a few other bolt-on goodies. Ill be sure to treat everyone to my new car's taillights real soon.. Mildly modded GS-t's are REAL fun on the highway. I raced that evo with my old car, from a 35 roll I got 1 car on him, I held him off till the top of 3rd where he then proceeded to walk me. I was still on the 14b@20lbs with racegas! The owner of the evo was a little surprised nonetheless. Nomie |

well I sold the red gs-t that I had and purchased a black Laser RS-T which I am in the process of converting to a talon. So far I have... K&N Intake UICP Spearco SMIC MBC The car also came with cross drilled rotors, a walbro 255(Im not sure maybe its a 190 but its darn loud)and supposedly an ACT 2100. Only time will tell if the clutch is an ACT.. Next year is going to be fun..Im hoping to race quite a few LS1's and overdue civic hatchbacks... Nomie |

Hello everyone. I would like to KINDLY ask if you could PLEASE take some precious time out of your daily routine to watch this documentary. It is one hour and a half in length, but I promise it is very very informative and absolutly SHOCKING. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7828123714384920696 In conclusion I would like to state that not all Jewish people are bad and not all Muslims are bad either. You have the good variety of both and the bad in both as well. Im EAGERLY awaiting your opinions and comments. Nomie |
