Been a long time for the eclipse. I've had it 3 years and I'm just now able to drive it. I've fought with the idea of selling it because I wanted a hard top. I installed a stock 6 bolt to experiment with because this is my first turbo car and I wanted to learn how it all works together. I'm 6'4...
So in case anyone ever finds this page and has a similar problem. If you have low speed wobble and your car does a shimmy when you hit a bump. I have found that 90% of the time it is your struts. At least every single time I've had a car do this it has been the strut. I installed coil overs and...
My car kind of did a similar thing. I replaced the slave and the master. I had to bleed the clutch every time I messed with it over the span of 2 weeks. Haven't had to bleed it since and it drives fine now. Maybe just bleed the hell out of it.
Yup same here at first that's what I thought it was. Got the new tires and no change. Never had a link cause a wobble like this. So I thought I'd check in here for some other ideas.It's odd to me that it goes away with speed. I replaced the outer tie rod ends before I got it aligned. I didn't...
Got the spyder running pretty well, just a couple things to fix.I have a low speed wobble around 20-40mph. The faster you go the smoother it is. I do have a bad sway bar link on the right side where it feels like the wobble is coming from. I did order a new one but I don't know if it's the...
I'm gonna go through my manuals and all the threads again this weekend. I have to get it inspected and tagged next week. Inspection is just vin number check no big deal just have to get it there.
Got the motor running great! Idles perfectly. I changed the plugs, rechecked the timing and it's perfect.Still for the life of me cannot solve the key problem. I unplugged the NSS switch. Hooked up the turbo timer went through the wiring and fuses.Is there some kind of 6bolt swap secret I...
I'm gonna do a full check on the ignition system tomorrow. Today was mostly trying to figure out why the key won't turn over.Im sorry I didn't mean random configurations just inverted.
Ok I drained the gasChecked the ignition wires for corrosionThe car will turn over and run real lopey if I manually jump the starter.If I hook the black and yellow wire up the solenoid behind the radio clicks and the fuel pump clicks on in the back but will not turn over.I plugged the...
No thank you for bringing this up. I've never had a turbo timer and never installed one. I forgot all about it. I will look into this tomorrow. Thank you
The signal wire is the thin black wire that slides over the clip?There was a Greddy turbo timer installed when I bought the car. I forgot all about it until just now. I unclipped it and put it in a box.
The old lady has been patient it's mostly the home owner association being dicks and some stupid next door app she's on. Believe me if it were her attitude it I would laugh it off.When I got turn the key everything lights up but it's like the signal wire is dead. I turn it over by running a...
Probably in the wrong section so move if necessary.I bought this bad joke 3 years ago. spent way too much money, had a baby, bought a house, went back to school blah blah blah.The car is a spyder gst with a stock 6 bolt swap. I have 2 weeks to get it running or wife says it's got to go and...
Just the fact that it's been posted for 2 months makes me weary. If it were a good deal it would be sold in a week. He has a Supra in the garage so he's into tuner cars. I'd take my time looking sucks buying a lemon.
I paid 600 for gas tank, tank shield, subframe, drive shaft, axles, trans, transfer case, and every bolt. Not a great deal but I've seen people trying to sell just the trans for 500
But I'm a novice. I bought one junker that blew up a mile down the road. Then I bought a clean shell. It took looking at 7 shells before I bought one. People are delusional when They state good condition.
Is there a place that sells generic pigtails that fit the 2g? Or any other cars that have the same connectors? Or just be on the lookout for a new wiring harness?
I know I dont like hacking into cars like that.So buy this pigtail and just wire it in? I don't want to chop up my other adapter cause I may be looking for a shell for my built motor not sure yet.
I have the green top CAS and the adapter harness. There's just no plugs coming from the car because the old CAS is hardwired. Are you saying the best bet is to get a harness and hardwire the green top in?
Been a member of this sit for a couple years finally finishing up the 6 bolt swap. I've been collecting parts for the last 2 years and I have pretty much everything for a fun fast car.I have 2 motors for this car. The one I'm working on right now is a stock 6 bolt in a 97 Spyder gst.I'm...
After reading keltalons BC test I went with BC276 cams for my 2.3 stroker. I called the company and they gave me a deal.Before I made my cam purchase I read everything on BC. I already purchased supertech dual valve springs or I would have went BC. I was very impressed with that company after...
in his post he said he was in no way looking for someone to make one for a $100.Your post was funny but this guy wasn't being "that guy." I really hate "that guy" when I read those kind of threads.In other words I'm currently making the same purchase. I had no idea the manifold would be...
yeah my man if there's a hole in the block that you can see then the engine needs replaced. Basically start looking for a new engine. I know how it feels happens to the best of us.
You could always read the controversy over 1g heads vs 2g heads. In the end its basically opinionsAs far as who built it if you find them on the forums then I'd say you can trust them. I found out the hard way the DSM world is full of poachers.When I took my original motor to the machine...
Haha that goddamn starter plate!!Then I also put on the wrong alternator and power steering pump. Like I said I'm a moron and got excited.The motor was a complete motor. I just got it changed the oil and replaced all the timing components and water pump.
I'm fairly new to these cars so I'm learning as I go. The 6 bolt intake doesn't have a few sensors the 7 bolt intake does. My mind is blank at the moment.I got the motor in and running and now I'm figuring out DSMlink.Someone will chime in that knows a lot more than I do I'm sure.
If you use the 7 bolt head you have to punch a hole through the front right side.I have 2 7 bolt heads and they were both done before I got them.On my built motor Iam using a 7 bolt head. On my spyder I just dropped in an entire 6 bolt.the flywheel question I have no idea how to tell...
I just did one and it's not that difficult you just have to research what goes where.Biggest for me were:
-Shave the driver side motor mount so it clears the water pump
-Make sure you have a the 7 bolt starter shim plate not the 6 bolt. I got mixed up put the wrong one on. I had to drop the...
When it comes to stuff like this everyone has a different opinion. I used an eagle crank for my fully built stroker. I haven't used it yet but the shop that assembled my motor said no such thing. He builds cars of all types and he's very blunt so I'm sure he would have told me eagle cranks are...
Haha I added everything I have into mine and i wanted to drown my self in a porta shitter.Every single thing i try to do to this car is the most difficult job ever. Im not saying the car is built like crap or designed poorly, but every time I try to get something done it's a no go. I've...
Yeah buddy!!! Loved those earlier movies. There used to be a replica in Columbus Ohio.Can't stand the last few fast furious movies though. When did ludacrisp become a highly trained fighter and computer hacker?Love the car though. I hope you try to replicate the engine bay that would be bad ass
Man I have about 13 grand in my car and I'm overwhelmed. If I had 30-45k I would smother myself with a pillow.Be realistic
Step back
Thinktheres no one resale value in performance cars. You will barely make back what you paid in labor. Had I of known this I would have just waited for...
I put a set of his stainless valves in my forged stroker motor.If you're not building a full on race car don't even waste your time with bronze guides. To have them properly installed cost way too much money. If your guides are bad get a new head. It's cheaper.
Same here bud. I LOVE these F'n cars!! I'm 35 and have wanted one since I was 16. I have $11,000 in mine so far. Yeh just added it all up the other night. And this was searching for the best deals.You'll get there man and when you do you will be like what the hell was I thinking.
Its very humbling to accept moms always right. When you get older you will appreciate her so much more.Just enjoy being 16. Its so much more fun to jump in a car and go. Even if it is a beat up corolla.Mine was a ford escort. Replaced fender, hood, bumper, radiator. Had pink and teal pin...
Buy the daily driver then get the project.You may feel like your mom doesn't want you to be happy. Or she doesn't understand cars. She understands life and that's one thing you can't teach you have to learn.That being said I wish the very best luck to you and your family
