Bingo!

Seriously, welcome noobees.

 

Hehe, come on newbies, don't be afraid. Come out, come out where ever you are

 

Hey d00dz, can I vent mah 2G BOV 2 da op3n so it soundz liek teh Green eclipze in F&F?!



Newbies are all posting their problems in random areas, like body tech on how their car is sputtering when idling, or which floor mat is the highest tech in Advanced forum.

 

hello all..... 98 eclipse gsx .... It's part of the family now and I am not going to be making this a 400whp beast, but would like to make this a respectable all around perfomer in due time. I personally have 96 nissan altima and a 98 honda civic ex also is part of the house hold. I frequent altimas.net and looked around for the eclipse to find this site. So far this seems like a good site. -Neal

 

Wooo! A newbie posted! Too bad it wasn't a question

Come on guys, don't be shy and start posting!!:happy:

You think maybe we scared them all, and they are actually searching instead of posting elsewhere.














OR NOT!

Hey i have no idea how to post a new thread so i am just going to ask my question here. I have a 95 mitsu gsx and im having a problem with it. First its getting terrible gas mileage. I will fill it up (About 12 gallons) and ill only get about 150 mpg. When i first got it it gave me two codes P170 i think it was the fuel trim code. It also gave me the p1400 code or the Mdp sensor curcuit code. I changed the front O2 sensor because i read that this sometimes fixed the code. When i erased the CEL they never came back on and im still getting crappy gas mileage. Its been tuned up and it does not misfire or stall or anything like that i did a boost leak test and i could not find any leaks. I just want to fix the crappy gas mileage cuz its getting to the point where its getting too expensive to drive. I have no idea what else it could be and i need help.

 

hey, im a newbie (wow 2nd newbie post, lol) im glad theres a board for us retards, j/k well anyways i have a 91 talon that i got in august, its by far the most fun car ive driven, its my second car (after an 88 towncar and yes ive driven diff cars than this), i've liked them ever since the first time i saw an eclipse (and no it wasnt in the F&F ive wanted one long before that) well im rambling now ill stop, peace


P.S. ill post a ? too for shits and giggles

 

Welcome, Neal gsx and slow talon esi.

 

lol @ pokey.
You guys should secretly call this forum the "expert racer forum" or something to that effect.

 

Perhaps we need to find a politically correct term for Newbie so that they don't feel like a dumba$$? Something along the lines of "Beginner Technical Discussions"

 

I would agree. No offense, but if someone made the "Dumbass Forum" I dont think too many people would really want to post in it. Not to say that people wouldn't belong in there....but you know what I mean.

 

Proud as I am of my recent completely undeserved promotion to Standard DSM talker... lest we not forget there are a few senior poster's out there who you could easily justify DEMOTING back to Newbie. It would be nice if Newbie Forum remained a kinder - gentler place.

 

Just thought I'd drop in with my "New DSMtalker" label and say hi! Been lurking on the boards for a while and searched for some things that I found no problem... The search engine on here is great compared to some auto forums. I honestly appreciate the chance to post and talk to some people about my recently acquired car and I hope in the future to maybe make some "friends" in the DSM world. So far most people I've seen on this board are friendly and not overly confident about there cars. for example i've seen this many times "I have a make/model with a 302/350 and I can beat everything!" You've all seen these and they kinda get old. You all seem like level-headed motor freaks! THAT'S A COMPLIMENT ... well thanks for the chance to post!

~Dane~

 

Sorry to post again but I took a second look at the post and I saw DSMMAN's sig with his car in it.... umm... that looks like a 90-92 without flipups... without changing headlights? Is that hard to do because i think that looks sweet!

 

haha.... every newb post in here sounds like a kid, first day in highschool, nervously babbling so you won't beat the shit out of them :slam:

yes i might as well point it out myself that i am a 'newbie' as well. but not to cars, not to messageboards, and not to car messageboards

 

It would be nice if Newbie Forum remained a kinder - gentler place.

That is definately our intention. And so far from the really helpful responses I've seen from some of the senior members, I think it's working.

 

Anybody ever think that "newbie" really means that we are
actually out driving our cars, instead of talking about them
all the time?

Glad to see the new forum. Hope is helps the timid ones.

 

I haven't been driving too much, just picking on some Hondas. all of them around here have rims, a muffler from AutoZone, and they think their the fastest around. me and a friend( 92 Talon Tsi) Have taught a few punks a lesson. Heck, my stock 90 Nissan Sentra taught them a few. heres a question, how do i get rid of my MAF or bypass to install a custom cold air intake? i havent recieved much help in other forums.

Your question was correctly answered in the Electronics Tech. section. If you want to remove your MAS and convert it to a MAP sensor, you need a VPC or a stand alone ECU like a Haltech. or an AEM EMS. Do a search on HKS VPC.

 

I wasn't looking for a $500+ answer to my problem. oh well, i just made a custon chamber for the MAF and installed a cone filter. works pretty good even for a bad MAF.

 

I would also like to say "welcome" to the newbies and say a few words of wisdom..

Enjoy the mods while they are cheap. Once you get the boost gauge, FP rewire and MBC type stuff out of the way, things start getting pricey. Enjoy it nontheless.

Owning a DSM is like dating a stripper. Sure, it's fun to ride and show off but, it will break your heart once in a while. When this happens, keep your head up, and ask your fellow DSMtalkers for advice.

After 3 years of modding/beating on my DSM, i must say... I love that damn car.

 

thanks for the advice. the only reason i keep the car is because i fell in love with it instantly. this car makes you pay for the love and enjoyment it gives you. i'm actually glad i don't have to worry about a clutch or turbo going out. i plan on putting in a decently built motor this summer (N/A POWER!) , a very nice body kit, targa top conversion and a killer sound system. if i mod this thing for speed, ill have my license revoked in no time! hopfully no more woes this summer!
