Thats why the strut towers rust out,failed seam sealer inside the wheel wells,Im redoing the whip this season too

Squirrel82 updated Squirrel82's Eclipse GSTView updates to this DSM profile...

So after adjusting the clutch pedal I went out for a test spin,going down the highway the clutch pedal hit the firewall and it wouldnt come back.After coasting to the shoulder and pulling over I realized that the rod in the slave fell out and was leaking Dot3 out of it.I hadnt put the boot on...

Head gasket blew out ,blowing out the metal shield that covered the head/block junction,belt looks intact.

^That sounds possible,since everything is OE and 8kish miles, you think a blade could have let go from red lining the car with a flow restriction in the cooling system?I noticed a week ago the car would run slightly warmer but I just thought it was from removing the fan and shroud from the...

That's the plan,just figured I'd ask what could come flying out of there since it's going to be awhile until I can get to it.

So I took the car to the track today and during the first run something popped under the hood and there was coolant everywhere.Bottom radiator hose popped off and so did the BOV recirculation tube.Put those back together and realized all the coolant was pouring out by the oil cooler and the...

The ignition control module plug came off,SMH,simple fix.

Finally broke out the 14s but the car cut off at the end of the run.It cranks but won't start,no CEL,weird,had to get it towed home.I can hear the fuel pump working and the rail is pressurized.It did start one time just enough to drive myself out the track and then it cut off again.

So after having the car as a nice looking cruiser for years I finally got to the track to the first time last year,best time was a solid 14 due to my lack of experience and crazy wheelhop. Small 16g ended up crapping out so ended up swapping out a 20g with all the supporting mods.Just got it...

^How would I get the oil off the little copper looking wire,just a rag?

Stock 2g

Seems like it,after it was swapped out,car runs and boost smoothly.The old one had a nice oil coating on the little wire,possibly could have gotten away with spraying it with some cleaner.

Swapped the Maf and tweaked injector deadtime,runs awesome:thumb::thumb::thumb:

Ok so a tree fell on the Mrs's cousins car last night so she had to drive my daily and I took the eclipse to work.Almost got tboned stalling out merging on the road,that was an exciting start to the day. On the process to do the BLT I noticed the clamp from the intake coupler to the turbo was...

That I will lol.

^That sucks,I got mine from a reputable vendor so I'm looking at everything else first.

Turbo is freshly rebuilt and shaftplay is nonexistent.

Yea,ran out of daylight and had dinner plans so I didn't get a chance,just checking out any one elses opinion so I have more insight when I do get to it as I work long hours during the week and only get a few hours really on the weekends to tinker with it.

So I ended up putting a fresh 20g after the small 16g took a crap on me.Checked for leaks and started right up.Went to take it for a spin and it builds no boost at all.Just bucks and stutters.Havent had a chance to do a BLT but it was running fine this morning pre turbo swap,well besides smoke...

Took the pump out and the spacer was missing ,replaced it and fuel pressure is back to normal.

Vac line off for adjustment,no change at all in pressure, yea I'm leaning towards the fuel pump install.

Installed the aeromotive fpr today along with the walbro 255 and some fic 1250s.Adjusted injector settings on ecmlink to compensate. Idles normally with the afr hovering between 14.7 and 15 but the problem is the fuel pressure gauge stays at 20 psi regardless of playing with the adjuster...

Not to be a debby downer but unless you have tons of free time and now how to do the rust work yourself,that car isn't worth fixing.

Im going to spectate today.

Sold Everything

Yea just fronts

400 firm, I also have the adapter brackets to fit a 2g Eclipse if needed.301 2five6 4608, text preferred

Alright, Ill keep that in mind.Car was painted about 5 years ago and had the wing off then but dont remember what was going on under there.

Broken gasket makes sense, I hope the bolts don't break when taking the spoiler off and that there's no rusty surprise hiding under there.Thanks.

Anyone have this issue after a car wash? Just noticed it today and its messing up the paint on the other side.Its starting to flake up, seems like the spoiler is soaking up water.

Put the bumper on and then screw them in.When you do the driver's side turn the steering wheel to the right and reach behind the bumper to tighten.

All you need is two 10mm bolts on each side if the metal brackets are still on the bumper.If not use some washers or something else to keep the bolt heads from ripping through the plastic.

I took the glass out and got it tinted super dark.

Didnt make the deadline.:(

Headlights look pretty good.:thumb:

I went from 100psi cold start to 40 from just cutting 2 coils off the spring.Balance shafts deleted.Idles at 20 warm and doesnt go past 90 once the revs get up there.This is on a 2.0 liter.

My aftermarket bumper fit pretty well before it met a curb.

Pm me if you have one.Local preferred.Never mind found one.

After I realized the front mount kit wasnt going to just bolt up to the stock turbo without some creative tinkering I just said f it.Put the stock sidemount back on and drove with the front intercooler under the bumper still not hooked up to anything.Didnt mess with it until a real turbo was...

Send me a private message if interested.Bodyshop is located in Laurel and I can train if needed.Full time.

Its nissan daytona blue off the 350z.Paint code is either b16 or b17,dont remember.Ive always owned nissans so this car had to get something nissan.

Best way to learn is from working at a bodyshop with a painter that has a positive attitude.It wouldnt take that long.Just takes a lot of practice and experience to get consistent good paintjobs.Might as well get paid and learn on somebody elses materials.Paint is not cheap and it takes a lot of...

Want the hatch,but probly wont buy.

Seats are sold.

Thanks,Ill get better pictures once the sun comes out.Btw my car used to be the same color as yours and yea,it should be an easier color to match.
