Looks good!! How many miles? I was also looking at them a while back. Still prefer the 2g though ROFL

I'll be down there from around the 11th to the 17th/18th. I'm picking up a new spyder :thumb:

What's up guys, just wanted to let everyone know I'm coming down to florida from ny, I'll be with family in melbourne but figured if a bunch of dsmers wanted to get together for a small meet that'd be cool. If anyone is up for it let me know! Thanks :thumb:

Basically I'm just trying to go from the stock 16's on the spyder to a larger set of 17's or 18's but don't want my speedo terribly off.Thanks :hellyeah: that helps a lot! I don't know much about tires/wheels so I was thinking there'd still be like a 5 mph difference no matter what tires I...

Good luck with the build! I started out in a similar situation with me being 18 and changing the clutch on a 98 gst with no knowledge besides oil changes. The best advice I could give you is don't cheap out on parts because it'll end up costing more when the part craps out and do something right...

I've been doing a ton of searching trying to find the proper way to recalibrate the speedometer/odometer for when I upgrade to bigger wheels and tires and all I've come up with is just people asking the location of the speed sensor and where to buy them. The most information I've came up with is...

Yes your car comes stock with BOV, as stated the stock 2G is crap and the stock 1G should be fine for your needs. If you go aftermarket it's gotta recirculate or you'll cause more problems. Good Luck!

Yeah you're missing the starter plate from the link you posted and as stated you'll have to remove the tranny, clutch and flywheel to install it. If I remember correctly there's 2 dowel pins that align it and if you are missing the inspection cover it can be found hereSTM: OEM MITSUBISHI...

Some time in November I purchased a whole set of gray interior panels to do the swap for my car. Only paid about $200 for all the pieces and all though there's some pieces missing it was still a good deal and with a little more cleaning they'll look real good! Since the weather was real nice...

This build is amazing! I have a red gst-t similar to what you started with. I just replaced the clutch and am hoping to make the swap to awd this summer! Keep up the good work :hellyeah:

Mobil 1 :hellyeah: lol

I'm sure people do! I guess maybe whenever I see someone modding a 420a there's always those couple guys that try to flame them. Never really understand why people feel the need to do that :confused:

Doesn't look too bad however I think Id put the outlets inside the center console so it's hidden and looks cleaner. Just my 2 cents

It'd probably be cheaper to sell the car and buy a gst or gsx. Not many people on here really take the 420a engine on as a "project". Either way good luck to you!

That's what I was thinking. Thanks!

Oh yeah OEM everything haha! I need a cat to pass inspection :(

I find it amazing that no one's said it thus far but OP you said you have a 94 gsx but the car in your profile pics is a 95-99, probably a 97-99 since it has the 2gb bumper. Not trying to flame you or be an a-hole but some people will flame you for it. Sorry to be off topic, good luck finding...

A little update, I got my flywheel, pressure plate, and clutch all mounted up and torqued down. I replaced the clutch fork, pivot, fork boot and the throwout bearing on my transmission. Everything's ready to go back in along with my new starter, I have a fmic kit I've been waiting to put in...

Wow that's crazy. I'm pretty paranoid too which is why I wanna replace them now haha lately I've read about a lot of people's ball joints going out while they are stopped or moving real slow and the pics look nasty so I get worried how bad it'd be if you're actually driving at a decent speed, or...

Definitely see what your saying, going to go check out those ones on JNZ now! Thanks for the info!

Yeah I think I'm going to grab them. I emailed 1aauto and asked for some more pictures of the welds but they said they only had the one picture :nono: still seem like a steal thoughNah I appreciate the honesty. Thats why I asked I want people opinions not just have people try to sugar coat...

I don't like to go cheap on things either but from the sounds of the review of the 1G control arms they seem to be of OE quality. Just hoping this is true for the 2G ones! ;)

Hey guys so I was trying to find a review I could trust or some more info on these control arms but I only found a review for the 1G control arms which seemed to be good quality. However, I am skeptical that since the set of 4 is $160 they're cheap quality. I was just wondering if anyone has had...

Thanks! Yeah I'm happy with it

I believe the connection in the first picture goes to the light in the sun visors if thats what they're called.(little flip down things lol) I don't have them anymore so I don't remember and i believe the second pic is for the dome light. I think you'll just need the board, visors, dome light...

Thanks man. I appreciate the advice. I purchased a godspeed FMIC before realizing it was not a good kit so I may return it and than I'll be interested in that kit you can make. Would it be bolt on and as far as the color goes is that powder coated or painted? Does that affect its efficiency? Can...

Yeah I see what you're saying. Just like the way I look at it I plan to own this car for a long time because I've always wanted a 2G eclipse. I definitely don't have big budget haha but like you said I'm trying to get all the maintenance done and than I'll do mods. Thanks for your input though...

So I finally got around to pulling the tranny and replacing the clutch. This was my first time ever doing anything like this and I'm pretty proud to say I did it all on my own. Took me pretty much a whole weekend because my ball joints did not want to cooperate. Lowering it down went pretty...

Alright cool thanks man appreciate it!

Been a while since an update. Not much has really happen. I have to pull the tranny and replace my clutch hoping to get that done monday. However I had a tire/rim question. I really wanna get these xxr 530 rims 16x8 and a +20mm offset, i know nothing about rims and tires, ive been trying to...

Hey guys sorry for the late responseI definitely understand what you're saying but I'm gunna go through the winter with it stock and just get keep her running and fixing small things and from selling my other car I'm going to buy a new engine and tranny and build it over the winter and than...

Thanks! Appreciate that.I can't decide whether I want to spend another 6 months restoring her or just sell my DD and get her roadworthy. I just want to drive her :hmm: any input? Leaning towards getting her on the road ASAP

Looks good keep up the good work. I'm also planning to do an engine pull/rebuild within a few weeks. Good luck going further!

I'm not trying to flame the OP or anyone who does like this but I'm not a fan of this at all. They're 2 different models a decade apart. To me it's no different that the supra tail light conversion. But as they say to each their own

I vote white car, orange rims. I think if you like the look after that you should just paint it thought. Not a huge fan of plastidipped cars

That paint looks amazing! Good job, I plan to paint my 2g soon. I'm planning to do it myself and paint it green like the newer camaros. Again, looks great!

A little late but I think black calipers and then maybe "Eclipse" lettering in bronze on top.

First off I have to say that your car is so sexy and done perfectly. I have very similar goals except my car's red. I was just wondering how much paint you used to do the engine bay? Was it gun or spray can? And finally if you ordered it online could you point me towards their website. Thanks in...

Thanks me too!

haha well I had the idea of maybe placing something below the holes. Like a small sheet of metal? and than use like bondo to fill that pocket

Wow thats funny how identical they are. As far as exterior I'm definitely going to repaint her, just not sure what color. I like red but I also like to be different and was thinking of doing like the new mustang green. As far as the spoiler goes, I plan to fill the holes from the aftermarket...

Ok so I'm a college student and I decided to take the summer off from work so I haven't had money to finally start real work on this baby. But I have been doing little things. So this past weekend I was trying to diagnose why she stopped starting. I thought maybe I had no gas so I tried to put...

Thank you both. I've been really busy lately but I started working on her again. Only had a little because I was going to a local car meet but I started reupholstering the headliner. Hopefully will finish that later tomorrow and finish installing my carpet finally. More to come!

Thanks! Another update should be coming up on Sunday night! Hopefully the interior will be painted and can be pieced back together.

I was thinking of running one of these with this: License Plate Bracket Front Holder Tag Mount Mounting for Bumper | eBay and than use the bracket to locate the plate over the fog light. I haven't done it so no pics sorry

A little update: It's been raining a lot around here recently so I haven't been able to get much done, however the old carpet is out and the new black carpet is fit but not completely installed. Today I started painting my tan interior black. I'll be blacking out the entire interior with green...

Thanks! I actually started installing black carpet today, I have black cloth to redo the headliner and I'll be getting black and green racing seats soon. I think I'll repaint my all my interior panels black but I'm not sure haha

What's up guys! So in April of 2013, I bought a 1998 Eclipse GST for $900. The body's in pretty good shape, it has 133,000 miles on the stock engine and tranny, however it is in need of a clutch and the entire interior is shot and smells like cigarets. So me and my dad went down to New Jersey to...

How much for a pair of door panels?
