Good advice on your video My first mods were: 1. Maintenance/Rebuild. 2. Upgraded rotors/brakes/lines/fluid. 3. Upgraded Wheel and Tire combo. 4. Coilover suspension. 5. And my 5th mod all at once was: intake, exhaust, manual boost controller. Next I'll be turning my attention to the fuel side with an upgraded fuel pump fuel pump rewire hi flow fuel pressure regulator upgraded injectors then I'll be going the ignition route performance plug wires, plugs, coils and bigger alternator. Then turbo, intercooler, yada yada yada
Very nice presentation! You appear quite comfortable in front of the camera! I approve of your choice of gauges; AEM has some great gauges that show REAL data! And please go for BC, Megan products are not of the same caliber as your DSM, or anything else for that matter. Even if you’re on a budget, just wait and save before going with Megan. No one should EVER cheap out on the suspension; same with braking system.
I’ve owned 2 dsms in the past about 20 years ago. I’m looking for another one, from bone stock other than general maintenance you need to do, the first 5 are a must for me: 1: IC piping to replace restrictive stock ones 2: metal BOV that will hold boost 3: boost controller 4: gauges, at least a boost gauge. 5: 2.5 inch cat back
Owned serveral dsms since I was 15 years old. Now 34 and just picked up a mint 96 gst Spyder for an unheard of price. My last DSM was a 98' Spyder fully built by myself with a precision 6262 on it and everything you could think of. In my experience with my 98 on a stock engine a heavy clutch caused the car to crank walk and that's where the build began .with this car ( 120k) my goals will be every bolt on possible with the stock turbo. Something you would have seen in the early 2000s. Not looking to make 350hp just see what I can squeeze out of the stock t25. I have an intake coming , just did t belt water pump cam seals and thermostat. I'm going to remove the restrictor pill from the stock boost solenoid for a couple more pounds of boost and Install a boost gauge. To me the air fuel ratio gauge isn't necessary untill you get a fuel system and up the boost past 16 psi. The stock fuel maps on these cars are so conservative there's room for a little more boost . Clutch and trans are in great shape just changed trans fluid and that's all I'm gonna do. Like I said just a little more umph to it maybe 15 25 HP. Been down that road of building one and it was fun and very fast. To the tune of 15 thousand dollars. More into keeping it stock ish with a few tricks up my sleeve. Good video .

Have the 60k timing belt service done n get the crank angle sensor replaced while ur getting that done.(use Distilled water with the coolant mixture) 4.

Need help. I'm new to the car world and trying figure out stuff the old fashion way. My 1998 gst turbo been given me problems. There is a line right under the oil filter that if you change the oil, the people could easily alter it and mess it up. I need help figuring out what the line is for so I can figure out if I have a blown headhasket or if it's the line that they tweaked during the oil change. The research I've found is that the line is either for oil or for coolant. Go figure the issue I have is milky coolant when I check under the radiator cap to pour coolant in. My engine light came on right after they changed the oil so that's why I'm suspicious as to what the problem is. I also cant check the engine code bc my obd2 port doesnt connect. I even got the fuse and everything.
Loved this video brother! I have a very 98 gst convert to GSX love it so much. where do you live? we should connect I am about to start a channel about cars to.
Afric Network nice! I definitely plan on going Awd in the future as well. I’m from CT 🇺🇸 & you should definitely start a car channel, one of the best things I’ve done ✅
I just got mine, however am sitting in germany, theres pretty little support here so im trying to figure out where to go for mods, partsand whatnot. I do have the whole issue with TÜV, bodykits and stuff like that is already a huge hassle, id like to make some nice panel-led taillights, again doesnt work. Brakes nees replacement soon anyways so might as well upgrade them, no idea where to go. Its a GS, a GST or GSX conversion is happening at some point, thats gonna be a little tho. Any ideas where to go?
Hit the nail on the head man. MAINTENANCE FIRST!!!! I did all fluids,engine oil, trans, diff, t case... then t belt water pump and the works all OEM. Then Ecmlink v3 and wired direct to ECU for logging abilities. Don't forget if your running v2 dsmlink and they were the original installers you can send it back to them for the v3 upgrade along with your cable for half the cost👍👍. 1. Maintenance 2.ECMLINK v3 full 3.wideband air fuel ratio sensor and gauge. 4. Clutch 5. Start power mods.. 🤘 fuel pump, injectors, upgraded turbo, ect... Check out my GSX on my channel if you want bro. Take it easy!🤙🤙🤙

Well we had a dodge avenger that looks similar to the old eclipes. Its been sitting for years, last known running and has no motor mounts but the motor is still in the car. Its an automatic 420a. Mice infest it now.
