I seriously did... I was driving home with this little laundry list of questions for club4g, and now that I've gotten here, I have no clue what I was curious about.

One of the questions had to do with the rearview mirror. I searched this and found a dozen threads of people looking for them, but not with quite the same issue; I'm driving along, sub's at 6, volumes at 19, and I look in my rearview... and I see my back seat. So I adjust it, and not even a half of a bar later it's looking at my back seat again.

Seriously, Mitsu put in a stereo that the mirror isn't capable of handling, or is it just my mirror?

Also, does anyones 4spd GS idle up a few hundred rpm when in neutral? Mine seems to jump from about 400 in gear to around 6-700 in neutral. Doesn't seem to come back down, just bumps up. Wondering if I should be keeping an eye out for IAC codes in the near future.

Elemenohpee · November 9th, 2011, 06:00 PM

My idle jumps like popcorn until im at a safe engine core temp level. If you know what that is. Like the whole car/engine/oil ect is all at a smooth operating temperature then it settles and idles at a perfect 650/700 and it really quiet. My oil pressure idles at 3PSI lol which is pretty low. Um are you turning the steering wheel at all or have the AC/heater on? This mite contribute to the problem but I wouldnt be to sure so dont quote me on it. As for the mirror I have the same problem but yours is a bit worse than mine the way it sounds, and 4spd?! isnt it 5spd or are you talking about Auto because I dont have Auto I wouldnt know. Hope this helped

mwaterous · November 9th, 2011, 06:07 PM

Yep. I'm just not saying auto because around here we consider it a curse word. You know, "That stupid automatic, failed high school and now it's in my car.". No accessories turned on, just jumps in neutral. I'ma go turn it on for ten minutes and see what happens, I've only paid attention from cold starts to date.

I wonder if there's something we can do to stiffen up the mirror a bit? Anybody done anything non-permanent that seemed to help?

Elemenohpee · November 9th, 2011, 06:09 PM

It does that for me ONLY on cold starts but I am forced Induction so I could be waaaay different than you just remember that.

mwaterous · November 9th, 2011, 07:28 PM

How much are you in for on that build so far, if you don't mind me asking? Down the road, bolt on kit available or not I want to go fi on her. Despite all the haters I think this engine has a lot of potential (if you're one of those no comments are needed, I could care less).

I agree with your view on potential, I will check tonight and see what it does in neutral, I have an intake so I might be a little rough anyway.

FeaRlezZ · November 9th, 2011, 07:55 PM

forged, this motor could handle 20+ psi and would b flirting with 400hp

Elemenohpee · November 9th, 2011, 08:02 PM

I second that ^ I just want 350 and ill call it a day =]

FeaRlezZ · November 9th, 2011, 08:05 PM

u planning on building up the internals trevin ???

mwaterous · November 9th, 2011, 08:07 PM

I'll third that, because I've seen less well built blocks handle 300+ to the wheels with some insane quarter miles. To me the money invested is worth it because while I know I could start out with more powerful platforms (hell, I could just buy a GT-R and rape almost everything, shucks), I actually like spending time in my garage almost as much as I like eating. And I really like eating.

Elemenohpee · November 9th, 2011, 08:08 PM

If I had the money I would just take the GT-R.. Sorry LMAO. ever since I got to ride in one and do launches I was sold

PearlGreenNMean · November 9th, 2011, 08:09 PM

Give me 250 and i'll be happy. And no, i dont want motor in a damn reuseable bottle.
"Lets see the motor in that thing"
*pops hatch*
"Thats a nitrous bottle..."
....
Yeah, no offense to the gs-n's, but no, i'll pass on that experience.

haha good thread, man. Trevins' car is SICK as a MF, that's all I can say. and he's done it smart, efficient, and shrewd with money. the exact opposite of me. he's got FI for a fraction of what I've paid for it.
speaking of forged internals....I'm doing it now and so are several other GT guys - but I don't know that any GSer has yet - THAT WOULD ROCK, is all I can say. that would be pimp as hell. and have a 375 - 400 HP GS?! that would shut some people up, that's for sure.

mwaterous · November 9th, 2011, 08:44 PM

Heh there was some intention of silliness with that comment; I'd snap a GT-R up without a second thought if I could afford it too. But that would be my perfect out of the box car. I'd still have a project car on the go.

I've been considering it, the internals+fi... but right now I'm just all talk and no walk because I haven't even put anything on this yet, except miles. Nevertheless it's back there, every time I read build threads on here I have little master plan wheels and cogs turning in my head.

And a loose rearview mirror.

PearlGreenNMean · November 9th, 2011, 08:48 PM

Me too... except i see everything as a big ass cake. And i have a small ass fork, and i can only get so much cake at a time. Well i finally got a shovel and loaded the fic on my plate.

my idle jumps. i throw it in neutral at lights to keep mine from dimming.. and its just your mirrors bro. i have 2 12s, put on Lil Johns 'Throw It Up' and my mirror just chills. lol it vibrates (obviously) but never drops or comes out of place.

youd like it if you tried it. and you have to go full bolt on anyway for nitrous so the engine still looks pretty damn impressive. theres just a few more hoses in the way compared to yours

AND if you do it smart, youd hide the bottle. and no one would be the wiser

PearlGreenNMean · November 10th, 2011, 07:31 AM

Yeah, i wont lie... it would be pretty cool... and i'd show case that bitch like a million dollas!

Damnit. They all vibrate, which I can live with because I don't listen to anything fast enough to keep them constantly vibrating, but the whole staring at my back seat at those decibels is a bit frustrating. Most of my music can't bounce it down like that, it's literally just one or two dubstep tracks.

I need to find the antiWD-40.

akley88 · November 10th, 2011, 08:19 AM

the car idles up because your taking the load off the engine

mwaterous · November 10th, 2011, 09:05 AM

So it's normal then! You don't really notice that on a manual for obvious reasons, and this is the first automagic I've ever owned. I would have thought the computer would balance it out, but I guess it makes just as much sense to leave well enough alone.

NitroGlisson · November 10th, 2011, 09:33 AM

I have an auto GT and my RPMs surge when I come to a stop really quick....nothing to worry about. If you have an auto and put it neutral you are taking a load off of the engine so I would expect it to jump up but not necessarily stay up.

Mech Automator · November 11th, 2011, 07:58 PM

Mine def jumps when I throw it into neutral... I might be late but I still helped!!!

mwaterous · November 11th, 2011, 09:37 PM
