Hey guys I might be getting back into the DSM game soon. The one I'm looking at has a knock. Who do you guys take your DSM to for diagnosis and work done? I'm ok with general maintenance stuff but I am no expert at diagnosis and definitely not comfortable with tearing into the head or block.
Shoot I'm looking to getting this one as soon as I look up the worst possible case for this smoke issue....98 Mitsubishi eclipse spiderPretty dam clean $2700 lol
now just hoping that infamous smoke isn't a tragedy :hellyeah:
1998 Eclipse GST-Low MilesI found this very beautiful DSM just now :thumb:looks like a perfect 10 all around. the ad says it runs perfectly fine, and at that price, you'd expect it as well.
BUT what threw a red flag in MY mind was seeing the coolant canister behind the driver seat...
well besides the bads you have listed up there, is there anything else wrong or things you suspect may go wrong in the near future? trannys arnt as expensive as motor to replace and this car isn't far from complete.I've done up DSM's in worst condition than this, that ended up looking...
If you don't believe me go to craigslist up and down California, and count how many you can actually find.... on top of that count how many are actually decently priced.ofcourse they're not as rare as the Supra's and RX7's but still.
Before I start and you guys flame me, I realize NOW that what I did was completely my fault for trusting a stranger... :sosad:As a few of you guys know I sold my 95 Black GST(in my avatar) back in January of this year, I let it go for $500.Anyways the deal was $500, as is(cause it needed a...
oooooh Ok I understand what your saying. For example the crank HP estimate of a stock car from a manufacturer will NOT be exceeded, however a slight bit more of that HP will actually make it to the wheels correct?thank you for explaining that :applause:
DD stands for Daily Driver. meanning your everyday car you can drive everywhere with no problems.here's the deal dude... IF your going to keep your GS/RS, either buy a slightly used engine or rebuild yours, you should NOT build it or "hook it up". You sound like you don't even know how to...
TRANSLATION:Everybody here knows I just blew my motor, because I just talked about that on my last thread. My uncle said something true about the 420A. He said that motor is garbage because it is very weak and easy to break. He told me that nobody on the street drives eclipse's because they...
This might be a long shot but STILL a possibility. When this happened to me at night, I couldn't SEE what was wrong. the next day in the light, I saw that the balance shaft belt had snapped. in it was just underneath the belt assembly cover, so it was being tossed around by the other belts and...
Just out of curiousity, what is your spyder shell missing? just asking because it can differ from seller to seller. I sold my GST SHELL for $500, but it was actually complete with interior, engine, and drive train. everything was in tact, but it needed a head gasket and 3rd gear would pop out...
IDK that car, but $3,800 looks like way too much for a car THAT old with THAT many problems WTFI could understand if it had fresh glossy paint, new breaks and tires, and the only thing wrong with it was no AC.... but thats not the case. the seller is asking for way too much.I'd have to...
So lastnight I was on the club4g forums and some dude was talking about ways to put down better numbers on the dyno. and he said that weight reduction helps you gain HP. and I argued that it does NOT raise HP numbers on a dyno, that weight reduction only helps because it's less weight that HP...
I saw lots of people say how fast it is to and how it only takes like 15 minutes to replace and how the longest part is draining the old rad.... am I the only one who took a while to install my slim fans due to the electrical plugs being different than the OEMs??? lol I got mine from punishment...
for everyone aruing against it because they've had problems.... did you guys rerout your vacume lines? I went taboo delete when I went EGR block off plate.
I had a thread just like this 1 when I was selling my GST. I was told my price was aiming a lil high. which I could respect. but for example there was e member in particular that said something like "oh well yeah its too high, hell I'M going to be selling mine for X much" shoot so I decided then...
wow.... dude this car was sooo not meant for you to buy. Im sorry but if you dont know whats what under the hood and are not a do it yourself person.... you need to sell this thing and get you a running one. cause this is gona cost you lots of money to fix in parts, and labor in shops is not...
My first one had this exact same damage done to it. it was totalled by the insurance company. I bought it and fixed it with help from a body shop. would you believe me if I told you i got the thing back together and running WITHOUT removing the radiator support? shoot if you were local we could...
wow how weird. My guess would have been that your battery is bad and that your car is running strictly off the alternator once its on... but you say the battery has a full charge and all your lights work.Hmmm your sure its not your alternator right? it doesn't click every time you try and...
yeah its everything you want in a gsx. really clean, 99, 5 speed manual, and not too modded.... but the seller doesnt specify what is wrong with it, just says hes had the head rebuilt and doesnt have money to finish fixing it.... must be a lot of freakin money to fix cause look at that new big...
So I've been looking for a 2gb GSX here in Cali.... and havn't found any good ones. All the ones I come across don't work, AND the sellers still want $4k+ for them WTFBUT I did come across these pretty clean GST's and all of them run and have no mechanical probems.... let me know what you...
well after 3 years of trying to get my project up and running and spending thousands of dollars(mostly on labor costs smh) trying to get it to DD... I ended up selling my 2g GST for $500 :sosad:Reason: going back to school, going to get a whole lot less hours at work, need a more reliable...
Your car should easily be worth around 6k if everything works and the only cons are all cosmetic.you mention some of the front body parts arnt flushed with one another, does that mean its a salvage title due to front end damage?
So some one is comming to look at it tomorrow. They offered $500 for it. what do you guys think :sosad:I Originally didn't want to go lower than $1,500, but its been almost 4 months and this dude sounds the least flakey and actually made an offer...what do you guys think???
+1 agree
my GS was always cheaper and more reliable to fix than my GST, even though my GST is Funner to drive. they each have their own thing :hellyeah:
So everyone's been telling you to pee on the N/T and go for the Turboed one.... heres the thing though. what do YOU want? do you want cheap and reliable? or fast but expensive?I've owned both and they each have there own perks to them.... my GS was very cheap on maintainance and never failed...
