92 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX
A couple of weeks have passed since my last update so I will try and add as much as I can about the progress of #PoisonIvy. I installed my Innovate LC2 Wideband (see Tech Article for info). The install was easy, but I had several problems, both which were my fault and not Innovate’s. I […]
Hello everybody, this will be somewhat of a small update. I say small because nothing really “major” happened in the last few days, but we are nearing the end of the build as far as getting this thing up and running. I still have tons of stuff to do, enough to keep me occupied for […]
Another late update. The car is running AND driving now. A few days ago, we had some really nice weather. In the 60’s even. I took advantage and went out and installed the driveshaft with the Torque Solutions solid bushing kit, then put the transfer case on, and then slid the axles in. The next […]
Haven’t updated this in awhile. The car has been running for a few weeks. The Evo ECU is working nicely, the car sounds awesome, antilag/launch control sounds awesome, the car is coming together. Yesterday, I put my driveshaft, transfer case, and front axles in. Finished putting my slave cylinder on in the dark and called […]
Decided to go out and mess with it today in the 26* weather. Can’t stand the cold but also can’t stand going days without touching the car. Didn’t do a whole lot but I finished my battery relocation with the exception of connecting the starter wire and bell housing ground wire to the firewall. […]
Next up is all the wiring work. It took a while and was a long process. I think the results were well worth it. I loomed it all up with braided sleeving after I completely depinned everything I didn’t want/not planning to use. AC, ABS, all the BS. I still have a little bit of […]
Sorry it’s been so long since I have updated this. Truthfully, I have been too lazy to upload the pics to my computer and resize them yatta yatta yatta. But, the time has come and I am going through nearly 100 pics of the car since my last update. Some time ago, I got the […]
I haven’t done a whole lot in the last couple of days. I did however put my SS braided front brake lines (from the 2G) and non-ABS proportioning valve on. Looks pretty good. I didn’t connect them to the calipers yet because this thing still has the single piston front brakes. I am going to […]
Today, I want to talk about my goals with Poison Ivy. I have several goals. I have a vision in my head on how I want this to turn out. There are things like the fuse box relocation that is important to me. A clean engine bay has always been the #1 thing when building […]
Didn’t get any parts in the mail today but I was able to finish painting the engine bay. It turned out awesome! I can’t wait to start seeing the bay come together once I start bolting things in!
Second wave of car parts came in yesterday. The half radiator and Evo ECU. Today, the third was of parts arrived. Fidanza 4.3 clutch with new OEM throw out bearing, wire wrap for the wiring harness and temp sender for my oil pressure gauge from Summit, and the AWD fuel sending unit with Walbro 255 […]
Woke up today to a box of DSM parts. It is the first of many parts to come in the mail throughout the rest of the week. And to no surprise, it is the parts ordered from Extreme PSI. EPSI, is an amazing DSM vendor (arguably the best DSM vendor) and has incredibly fast shipping. […]
I decided a couple of days ago that I wanted to paint my engine bay though I was having problems deciding on a color. I surely didn’t want to repaint it the same color as the exterior. I really dont like this green all that much. It’s a nice color but it doesn’t have that […]
Bought some parts today. Brand new VRSF FMIC kit and Innovate LC2 wideband from Boost By Demand -$547 Hallman in-cabin MBC and aftermarket oil pressure gauge from Eric Barnane -$150 Non-ABS proportioning valve from Lathan Greiner -$25 Evo ECU from Carmen Rosario -$103 Aluminum half radiator from Chris Hosler -$80 Megan Racing lowering springs from […]
My name is AJ Hunsinger. Most people in the DSM world know me as “AJ @ Eat Sleep DSM” or “[SPOOLIGAN]”. I own a company based off of DSM’s. We have an all-DSM magazine that is about to launch soon. More of an online/website based magazine, but monthly issued hard copies are expected in the […]
