Sounds like you figured it out. Making a template like that is usually the easiest way. Last time I did it I made a rubbing with some butcher paper and a crayon.

What Gravedigger said. I've found it helps to have someone else drive so that you're not distracted by trying to find the rattle while you're driving.

They're exactly the same.

The reason that some have an angle is because they pass under the rear "axle". Anything that passes over the rear "axle" (FWD cars don't have a rear axle, but you know what I mean.) like the stock piping will look straight. Generally the reason for under axle style piping is because there isn't...

Wait, do they think the center section is supposed to light up? WTFOr are you talking about the center high brake light?Also do you have to take the car to an independant shop for the inspection or is it an actual government office? If it's an independant shop I would ask for proof on...

To burp the coolant, remove the coolant cap with the engine cold. Stick a funnel that just fits the smaller portion of the opening tightly and top up the coolant. Start the engine and run it up to operating temperature with the funnel still in place. It should bubble out any excess air in the...

Right, cheap, fast. Pick 2, because you can't have all 3 :D

There's your contradiction right there.

You did mention that the coil was bad, have you replaced it yet?Another issue I'm noticing is that you said that you changed the radiator. Did you burp the coolant after filling the system? If you didn't burp the coolant there's probably an air bubble stuck in the Tstat housing that can...

Actually, this isAnd the ecto just got a major horsepower upgrade

Looks like he needs to get together with my buddy Kevin.

Gawd, the welds on that look like bird sh!t.

Only if it makes things louder than your local noise ordinances allow. It's not illegal like removing the cat is.

put that Kenny Loggins song on your phone and play it while people are around. If you can make the goper dance it would be even better

Apparently this dealer thinks a GS is worth the same as a good turbo? 1998 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE 2DR GS

At least they didn't ruin a good black and tan or all black interior car.ROFL

This.First rule of selling things, if you have to ask if it's a scam, IT'S A F*CKING SCAM!My 83 year old senile grandmother could see through the bullsh!t that's piling up from the scammers.

^^^^^ OMGActually probably the dumbest thing I've done is run the car without the timing cover. It looks good, until your alternator belt shoots into the timing belt and bends every intake valve :ohdamn:

I've left the bag on my filter after cleaning the engine bay a few times.On my cars with distributors I ALWAYS forget to mark which plug wire goes where on the dizzy, which leads to half an hour of figuring out what goes where.

I probably won't do anything this year, but in previous years when my hair was longer I would let my beard grow out and I went out as Silent Bob.I do like the Stig idea too.

There should be a spigot on the side that you can drain it out of. Most homes also have a floor drain near the water heater.If it's leaking then its most likely that your tank has rusted out and the only thing you can do is replace the heater. This happened to me a few years back.

A piece of dynamat Xtreme between the body and where the pipe hits takes care of the rattle.Fresh exhaust hangers help a ton too. When I reused my factory hangers the whole assembly had almost 2 inches of play. After I swapped them out for new ones the exhaust wouldn't move more than 1/3 of...

You can't bend the hangers to change the angle that the muffler sits at. you'd have to bend the tubing differently and you don't want to do that.And yes. Get the GST exhaust, not a GSX. Things won't fit if you try to put the AWD exhaust on your car.

Respect yer elders. :pI did find out from a friend what to search. you have to look up pixel art. kinda annoying.Are those your works Lofty? got any more?

I've been trying to find good sprites of cars but Google image search is leaving me high and dry. If you don't know what I mean by sprite, I'm looking for pics that look like 8 or 16 bit video games.kinda like this.Please post up any that you've got. I'd really like to see some...

Cutaway of the suby boxer. awesome engine design for torque

Sorry, but DO NOT DO THIS the baking soda can get in the vents of the batttery and kill a cell in the battery.If you must clean the terminals with baking soda, mix up a PASTE of baking soda with as little water as possible and use an old toothbrush to apply it and scrub the terminals with...

Quit doin stupid things to the 1g and get workin on the AE86

Yeah, It's a pretty big known failure point on the 2gnt. The zip tie gets brittle and breaks then the harness falls onto the hot pipe and melts stuff. not fun.Sounds like most of your issue is the coolant temp sensor though. I'd definitely start with changing that and clearing the CEL's. If...

Another thing to check is the harness that runs right beside the EGR tube. Tons of people have reported the harness being melted and shorting out there.

It's pretty obvious. Rod knock sounds like someone's doing a drum roll on your engine block with 2lb sledges

Proper grammar, spelling and punctuation > you. Please learn how to use them.

I'm gonna have to slightly disagree with you there. If you shift right at 6k you're gonna drop below the meat of the powerband in most gears. Go a little past, maybe even 6500/6600. You don't have to bounce the limiter to get the best run but you don't want to shift too quickly. In my experience...

Douglas County HS.

I'd check the ECU again. If you don't get the normal CEL for the first few moments then it's not working.

I kinda dropped out of HS. I say kinda because I still finished out my requirements via a homeschooling program. I couldn't take the ignorant system that was in place for public schools in my area. In all fairness the public schools are actually quite good where I grew up, they just had no clue...

This made me think of Dave Coleman's S13 coupe. The car was flat black and he just used some gloss vinyl stripes with the logos cut out of them.Found a pic. Maybe something like the reverse of this would look good

Exactly what I was thinking of :thumb:

I don't hate any specific cars, I just hate the assholes that tend to drive them LOL

Sounds like a good parts car, but since it's N/T a good portion of the car would be useless to you.Edit: grinding when trying to start would probably lend itself to a cracked flexplate (yes N/T manuals have a flexplate. the clutch is a modular assenmbly)

I think you could do better than a cheap looking aluminum wing. Maybe a nice CF wing to go with that gorgeous FD.As for stickers, I got nothin.

Exactly. I can fit MORE options in my DSM than a civic because of the double din configuration. If you have a factory double din unit and you want a single din headunit, just snag a pocket from an RS at the junkyard or the forsale sections. Shouldn't run you more than $10 shipped.Our dash...

I wish Howell didn't have the worst customer service EVER.

Like fotown said, it's easy as pie. Just make sure that if the car is a 99 you get a 99 ECU. Between 96-99 the ECU's look the same but have different pinouts and other oddities.

OOOOH. I forgot about the damn bucket shims. That sucks

Crap. I would only use one in an emergencyEdit: I figured that I would explain why.The specter filters have endcaps that are glued on and the glue likes to come loose after a few months of engine heat. Suddenly you notice that you have no endcap on your filter and you have no idea how...

If it definitely tested bad then I'll trust that, but you've definitely got signs of power not getting from the battery to the starter.
