This is so awesome congratulations..finally the eclipse might get represented correctly

One step at a time

This is the Build Thread for Change of plans(99 gst). Reply below.

Hey is Corpus to far for this thread..I'm currently building a 99 gst..want to take some cruises would be nice to have other dsms around..on a side note I have full auto fwd swap if anyone's interested

Wow so it's been over a year since I've posted anything here. What a year it has been with the craziness in the world a new baby added to the family and constantly working and getting called in on my days off I haven't got to mess with the cars much. Two days ago work slowed down enough that I...

Hey I'm not sure if extremepsi fixed it or not but a few months ago when I ordered parts I went through 2 returns because they had the wrong picture with the wrong part number for a 97 tensioner. Just something to look into Thank you for your time, Jason Penny

TTT any interest make offers!

Local guy here in cc Tx quoted me the same 3k and acted like he was hooking me up I was shocked. I'm no where near ready to make decision paint vs wrap but I was curious and I just cant justify paying that much when you can get a pretty decent paint job for around same price. I work for a car...

Make sure the brake switch is functioning correctly at the pedal. There is a plastic/rubber stopper that the switch hits on the pedal mine fell off an switch was staying in open position till I put a bolt and nut in that hole in pedal problem solved. Hope yours is just that simple. Jason Penny

I will agree that Tesa tape is the way to go we use it alot here at my audio shop. It looks good and very similar to most modern oem wiring. They also make an exterior tape that I use that you literally have to cut it there's no just ripping like regular tape. Scosche makes a similar tape but...

R.A.P retained accessory power is the issue you ran into like you mentioned this is used as a convenience for accessories like the radio and some vehicle functions that need to go to home position before powering off. I like to use a relay tied into an ignition source instead of an accessory...

Same exact issue I had when my alternator regulator was going out eventually my interior and then followed my my exterior lights started flickering..galant alt fixed my issue but since you've tried two alternators makes me consider wiring between the circuit and the fuse link like...

Apply lube to any exposed threads and go back and forth. Tighten a little loosen a little tighten a little loosen a little..I would use the ratchet so you can feel any slipping of the bolt head or shearing of the bolt. Also if you have a small torch of some sort applying some heat to the bolt...

I'm pretty sure gas tank from gst is not the same as gsx

Just for size comparison here's the t400x2ad I'm using it for subs but it has all pass and high pass filters so easily could be used for door speakers with plenty of power as seen in the birth sheet lol the four and 5 ch version is slightly bigger maybe a few inches

Probably not your case but i had two flywheel bolts back out to hand tight on my old car and it sounded alot like rod knock..easiest check is to remove the dust shield on bottom and see if the flywheel moves loosely..that's how I figured out mine wasn't rod knock after dropping pan and two rod...

Rockford makes a really good compact amp that actually puts out some good clean power https://rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/t400x4ad/ I'm not sure of your price range..they make a few different options in this same footprint 2ch, 4ch and even a 5ch. I've installed many of these in many...

just something to consider..some amplifiers come with built in bluetooth so no need for wires to phone but will still have the rca input for other non bluetooth devices. Most radios put out 20-45 watts per channel(speaker) so if not looking for extreme sound then judge your power off of that...

Yes this plug was from the right side dash..the pic below is the left side dash speaker

I found this pulling the dash on my lunch break today looks very similar to the plug you pictured

Is that the wires for the top dash speaker..maybe they've been unplugged and the wiring fell down because there's a push clip zipped to the wiring where it would mount up somewhere and to me it looks very similar to the harness that comes out the dash when you pull out the dash speakers..sorry...

You are experiencing a ground loop which causes the whining noise that reacts to the throttle/alternator. This could be a bad ground (non clean metal) or if you run the rca cable along side the power wire the rca can pick up interference from the power wire more common in less quality shielding...

Maybe it's not the best quality but it sure does get the job done for the line of work I do..Brand new home depot little over $400 tons of space. Thank you for your time, Jason Penny

Bypassing the factory amp is not hard at all and if you have any spare speaker wire and a little wiring knowledge it's not hard..gotta run wire from the white gray green and purple spk wires of aftermarket radio to the output wires of the amp.

The bare strands are just shielding from interference noise to the signal wire inside like how rcas or coax cable for TV are. Wiring itself is a nightmare then add 20+ years of age and who knows how many people's hands makes troubleshooting horrible lol. I'm glad Vegas was able to help you hes...

So the second car is a 99 auto gst. Surprisingly under all the dirt and grime from sitting for 6 months the car is relatively rust free and it has alot of parts I needed for the black manual car. It has a fair condition black dash without and cracks or warps. Also is a non abs car so had the...

So I may or may not of picked up another 2g today after work. Started out in my mind as a parts car I couldn't pass up on the price. But after looking I might turn this one into my dd and the black one into my race car. Life of a dsmer I sware car still on Jack stands receipts piling up but oh...

The illumination circuit will change to operate dim feature of the radio like mentioned above for night time driving. Factory illumination circuits in many cars cause big issue in the aftermarket car audio world some like it some wreak havoc with weird cluster lights coming on and on newer cars...

Sorry for crappy pics..just so happend I was looking at these papers right now planning out my wire tuck lol

You definitely need to trace the black with white stripe. it should not get power until keyWhite is constant feed, black/white ignition output of key cylinder keeps power during cranking, blue/black is accessory output from key cylinder it loses power during cranking

Check where these wires were tapped

Hey as far as the remote start most of the time the starter wire gets cut and split between two wires from the rs module I've never done one personally on an eclipse and it also varys module to module..but if dash and features work with no key then to me seems like the ignition wire is getting...

Parts came in on friday from Stmtuned and today I finally got some time to pull apart the pulleys and timing covers and prepare for the timing/water pump job. I've been tinkering a little with the engine harness but have not touched the body/fuse harness yet. Goal is to relocate fuse box to...

Just placed order with STMTuned! Excited to start on the new car

Awesome glad you figured it out

I'm pretty sure you can eliminate those 4 white wires(coming from alternator I believe) and upgrade to one heavier awg wire

As long as you apply the proper fuse/breaker to protect from shorts and make sure you have all your grounds proper block,frame,chassis then you should be just fine. Alot of newer modern cars you will find that manufacturers have located the batterys in the trunk or even crazier inside the...

I may be wrong but isn't it called Barcelona pearl? Or are they two different colors. Thank you for your time, Jason Penny*post above didnt load on my fone till now guess maybe time for an upgrade lol..well Barcelona pearl is my future goal paint for my new car

You said hasnt run in 4 years? So wasnt running right before this rewire? I would suspect all sorts..animals chew harness? Bad connectors at the pump? I'm not sure locations right off my head but I would try and check continuity from ecu/fuse box to the pump.

Sorry work was busy today..have you tried going back to stock wiring just to test if it works. What happens if you jump pin 30 (the 12v from battery) to pin 86 with the factory wire unplugged ofcourse to be safe. That should activate fuel pump*sorry its late just reread previous...I would wire...

Relay pin 85-ground, pin 86-factory fuel pump wire, pin 30- 12v battery power, pin 87-out to fuel pump. If that's how you have it wired then if you can check relay pin 86 for voltage but I believe the car has to be cranking. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please. I'm stuck at work but wanted to...

I work way to much to work on my new car but I have managed to pull out the dash, interior and engine harness to go over and address 20+ yrs and lord knows how many hands of gremlins while the car is down with no engine. Closing up the shop today I walked over to check what brake line I needed...

Hey how are yall doing..I've been a member for years now but this will be my first actual build thread. So finally almost two years and I got another dsm. Purchased her from a friend of mine last night and I am very excited to begin the journey of getting her up and running and reliable back in...
