  1. Hid

    The only possibility is that the ballasts arent getting power. Are they wired to the battery properly? Of so, can you hear them "hum" when you turn the lights on? If so, the lights should come on.
  2. Rear Strut Tower Rusted Thru, Help Me!

    ^^^Pretty sure thats the one. I'll probably just have the mechanic do this one. He's got all the tools and more time. Hopefully its an "under $100" type thing...otherwise I'm doing it
  3. Rear Strut Tower Rusted Thru, Help Me!

    I've done zero rear suspension work on DSMs so I have no idea how this happens really. I am knowledgeable with the front suspension but not sure where/what parts are broken here. I can grab the bolt in the pic and physically move it around a half in or so in any direction. When going over a...
  4. Rear Strut Tower Rusted Thru, Help Me!

    Hmm, hopefully that's all it takes. Guess it's time to do some diggin around.
  5. Rear Strut Tower Rusted Thru, Help Me!

    Whats the fix? I can weld (on an amateur level) and have a welder. I'm assuming the shock has to come out, match the hat back to the metal and weld it on...
  6. Rear Strut Tower Rusted Thru, Help Me!

    Yeah I looked at it last night, it's the "top hat" as you call it. Car sits at normal height, the spring isnt thru at all, just the shock.
  7. Rear Strut Tower Rusted Thru, Help Me!

    I dont think I'd be able to get a clear shot of it. It's in a pretty tight spot and with the strut still there you cant see much of anything.
  8. Rear Strut Tower Rusted Thru, Help Me!

    I've got 3 within a few miles of my house. Should be a real fun day, lol.
  9. Rear Strut Tower Rusted Thru, Help Me!

    Well I've owned 2 that had front rust, but never one that had rear rust tower issues. This is a bad one, was wondering why it sounded like the hatch was banging around while driving but it's the strut whacking around because the little "cup" that it sits in has rusted enough to break off.Is...
  10. New rotors/pad and getting brake drag

    So I put on a brand new set of drilled rotors, and a new set of duralast gold front pads. After everything was installed the drivers side rotor is touching the pads a little. Tried taking it all back off, reinstalled and still they are dragging a little. It sounds like what it sounds like...
  11. 2g GST / GSX font?

  12. 95 Blue Talon Paint Code?

  13. 95 Blue Talon Paint Code?

    I've been searching, not much info out there. Anyone know the paint code for the 95 metallic blue color on talons? Its the color of the car in this threadhttp://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/hangout/316029-pics-blue-95-tsi-eclipse-front-bumper.html
  14. new clutch and flywheel now car won't start

    Did you ever get this fixed?
  15. $850 95 GSX Build

    Day 12 - Trans is outDay 13 - Engine is out
  16. So my friend wants to run 8s...

    Think of it this way - someone saying they wanted to go 8's 30 years ago would have been ridiculed. Now look, those same damn ppl are going 8's. If he's a dreamer and want to go 8's, has the money, the time, and the will...let him do it.
  17. Engine Noise / Ticking, Knocking, Tapping MERGED

    UPDATE -I emailed the previous owner to see if he ever experienced it:"I had that happen to me right after the clutch was put in.I heard the noise and took it to the guy that put the clutch in. He said the flywheel had come loose enough to just virbrate a little bit but once you...
  18. Engine Noise / Ticking, Knocking, Tapping MERGED

    That's what I am researching now, sucks that I am pretty sure 95's are a bi*** to do.
  19. Engine Noise / Ticking, Knocking, Tapping MERGED

    No idea of the bs's are in or not. I'll drop it tomorrow if I dont find anything else out.The sound is the loudest around the oil pan / far end of transmission. Could there be something loose with the flywheel or clutch? Previous owner said it was just replaced (both of them). Noise...
  20. Engine Noise / Ticking, Knocking, Tapping MERGED

    Yeah the oil is a good level. Doubtful its the exhaust manifold (being a jeep owner I know that sound pretty well.) It does go with the RPMs also. Hard to tell if it's louder near the timing area or louder kinda under the intake manifold.Is there any way a starter could keep making this...
  21. Engine Noise / Ticking, Knocking, Tapping MERGED

    Yeah its a metal on metal sound for sure. Hard to tell exactly where it is coming from because it's quiet, then LOUD, and I dont want to run the car too long to find out because I dont want to have anything go terribly wrong.
  22. Engine Noise / Ticking, Knocking, Tapping MERGED

    Ok picked up a 95 TSI AWD yesterday. Didnt have any trouble driving 1hr home. Started it up today and now theres a loud metallic grinding noise (almost like a starter that you keep cranking when the cars on already). The harmonic balancer had a bad gash out of it so replaced that and still...
  23. ebay exhaust systems?

    LOL, what gets in the way on awd's? the driveshaft and rear axle?
  24. ebay exhaust systems?

  26. Which clutch [Merged 3-9] what clutch best

    Another quick one, lets say i get a 6 puck sprung ACT disc, can I use a stock pressure plate without any ill side effects? Or should I upgrade to a heavier duty one?
  27. Which clutch [Merged 3-9] what clutch best

    illeffekt vr-4 - Likely not going over 300ish hp, so I'd say torque will be under that too.Thanks, mighta just saved me some money on a lightweight fly. How streetable are 6 pucks? I've never driven one but my old 2600 had a bit of chatter to it.
  28. Which clutch [Merged 3-9] what clutch best

    Forgot to mention I'll likely be running a ported 14b
  29. Which clutch [Merged 3-9] what clutch best

    Building up a dead GSX with autox in mind. What clutch should I be looking for? I have act2600 experience from my 3000gt, had a act2100 in my old tsi...2600 is too much beef 2100 was nice but building on a budget.

  34. 2G Strut tower rust [Merged]

    If the engine is out, and you got the time...why not. Nice job.:thumb:
  35. Are strut towers structural?

    Looking to find out if the front strut towers (the metal shell part that always rusts) actually serves a structural purpose or if itst here simply to cover the springs. mine are nearly gone on my recent project GSX purchase and instead of getting something fabbed I'm considering using the cut...

  41. What color to paint the 2g?

    Bought a 2g gsx that will need paint. Previous paint job of black was done terribly, and it was baby blue before that, neon green before than, then the stock red. So, looking for some suggestions on colors.My thoughts lean towards grays. I used to own a Sandstone 3000gt, and a grey 2g...
  42. Compression = 170, 189, 30, 50

    I have one, but I'm at work....if it's short and sweet can you type it?
  43. $850 95 GSX Build

    Confirmed that it has an EPROM ECU
  44. Compression = 170, 189, 30, 50

    There's a few complete 6bolts locally for $400-600, the head/rings looks like it'll crack $250+ anyways so mind as well go for it.
  45. Compression = 170, 189, 30, 50

    I'll do a leakdown so I know how to do one, but it's leaning towards a 6bolt at the price I'd pay to fix it all.
  46. Headgasket but what type?

    Did you do a compression test yet? $20 tool with time saving possibilities. Get an obd2 scan at autozone and see if its your coolant temp sensor
  47. Compression = 170, 189, 30, 50

    I managed to keep the car running long enough to get the temp gauge to move a bit. I didn't take it all the way to 210F but I got it to move.All this adding more things makes me think a running 6 bolt might be the way to go versus a 133k unknown history 7 bolt.
  48. $850 95 GSX Build

    Didn't even think about it. I will tomorrow. Got the whole console out right now anyways. Keeping fingers crossed for the eprom ecu
  49. What color to paint my car? [Merged 4-8]

    i love the color altho i occasionally get into arguments with ppl about the color they claim it to be PURPLE so i correct them and tell them the real color but they continue to argueThat's why its named "magenta." In the right lighting (dusk and dawn and cloudy) it will produce purplish...
