  1. I hate DSMs

    This car is like a drug to me... it is so much fun to drive, but when things go wrong all hell breaks loose. I just put $2000 into this car. New clutch, flywheel, water pump, timing belt, accesory belts, brake pads, calipers, rotors, suspension... every damn thing!!! I mean you name it, I...
  2. Will the hatch glass from a 99 GS fit a 97 GSX?

    Somebody broke the back hatch glass, and the passenger window on my 97 GSX. I found some glass online but am unsure of whether it will fit my car or not.. is anyone aware of whether or not the glass from a 99 GS will fit my 97 GSX? They look the same to me, but I'd just like to make sure...
  3. Old gas in tank - best way to handle it?

    My gsx has been sitting for about 8 months with 3/4 tank of gas in it... So far I have syphoned out all but 1/4 tank of gas. What would you guys recommend for getting the car started and running good? I have already let the lines going into the fuel pump drain out...If anybody has any...
  4. I hate my GSX

  5. Valve spring cracked - best way to fix?

    UPDATE 9/2: Found out why this happened to my engine. Apparently this peice of sh*t that I was living with put honey or sugar (not sure which one) in my oil. A friend of mine told me yesterday only because I was going to replace just one spring. He said he didn't wanna tell me because he knew I...
  6. Valve spring cracked - best way to fix?

    Also.. does anyways know where I can buy a single valve spring? I'm assuming mitsubishi would sell them by the peice and hopefully not by the set??I've seen valves sold separately on ebay for my car but no spring... if anyone knows a place where I can get one that would be greatly...
  7. Valve spring cracked - best way to fix?

    Well since I have to re-do the timing anways, I'm going to get someone to put in a new valve spring and take my chances. I really doubt that the valve got bent considering it happened when the car was being started... Soooo I'm thinking that even if the piston hit it, that it would have gave...
  8. Valve spring cracked - best way to fix?

    Is it possible to change the valve spring without having to re-do the timing?? Can I just throw a new spring on there and give it a shot?Also... how do I go about checking the timing?Thanks!!!
  9. Valve spring cracked - best way to fix?

    No, I'm not assuming. I did indeed pull the valve cover to inspect it. Do you really think the valve would have bent if the spring only broke when I was attempting to start the car?
  10. Valve spring cracked - best way to fix?

    So the other day I got my car home and then when I tried to start it again, it began to make a clicking noise from under the valve cover and wouldn't stay running. (Note that this problem didnt arise while the car was running, only when I tried to start it, so I must have got realll lucky) MY...
  11. ceramic brakes pads leaving a black glaze on new rotors

    This was my first brake job so I had no idea about any type of glaze... I believe they were an "eclipse" brand or something like that and I bought them from discount auto. My car stops on a dime now and Im pretty happy with it except the glaze... Anything I can do now to fix this?
  12. ceramic brakes pads leaving a black glaze on new rotors

    I just installed a set of ceramic brake pads on my eclipse with brand new drilled and slotted rotors, and they are leaving a black glaze on them. Will this go away or is this normal? Kinda sucks seeing my shiny new drilled and slotted rotors all dulled up lol..
  13. how bad are the GR2 with a drop

    I just installed my new suspension consisting of kyb-gr2's and 1.5in lowering springs bought from ebay (vogtland brand). And I must say I really like the ride a lot. Not only is the drop great but its not too much. I barely notice any body roll and its not bouncy at all. I'm very happy with...
  14. Will a 1g head work in a 2g?

    I was just curious to know if I was unable to find a 2g head.
  15. Will a 1g head work in a 2g?

  16. Knocking sound coming from engine - is it dead?

    Found out it was one of the valve springs that had broke.
  17. I Hate My DSM, or My DSM Hates Me [Merged 12-8]

    The clutch went out in my car and while I was replacing that I decided to put on a bunch of new parts as well... doesnt mean i waited for everything else to give too lol.. Regardless, this car is a royal pain in the ass.

  19. Knocking sound coming from engine - is it dead?

    I just got my car back together after $2000 of new parts with an engine that has 90k miles. I was out cruising today and everything was fine. No loss in power or anything... but after I park my car a friend came over about 30 minutes later and wanted to hear it run. So we went out and tried...
  20. O-ring around turbo compressor side inlet?

    So I'm putting my car back together right.... when I find that the o-ring thats supposed to go over the turbo compressor inlet is missing. The parts guys at mitsubishi cant find it and say they only see a metal one. But I know the part is a small rubber o-ring. My question is... where the...
  21. I Hate My DSM, or My DSM Hates Me [Merged 12-8]

    The way I see it is... If I sell it im just going to have to deal with this BS on another car. Just like you said.... of course if I bought a honda accord or a toyota camry I wouldnt have as many problems, but I also wouldnt have an awesome car in terms of looks and performance... I'm just...

  23. 1st and 2nd gear grinding with new act 2100

    No, I didn't check the step height. I figured the brand new clutch and flywheel would mesh together just fine. Hopefully I'm right... my question is really, can the clutch adjustment issue cause the car to go into all other gears besides 1st and 2nd or is my tranny screwed? I wanna rule out...
  24. 1st and 2nd gear grinding with new act 2100

    I just installed a new clutch act 2100 and the xact flywheel. When i took it for a test drive it grinded into 1st and 2nd gear. As in I couldnt even get it into those gears. But 3rd, 4th, 5th, and reverse all worked great. I had been having some trouble with 2nd gear before the new clutch...

    I've got a set of gr-2's and lowering springs, and I was able to compress the front ones enough to assemble it and put it on... Problem is, I cant get the rear shocks compressed enough to get them together... does anyone have any ideas to get this together? I was thinking of halfway assembling...

    I'm trying to install my new gr-2's and springs, and for some reason the control arm does not match up to the dimple on the strut. It's off by about a quarter inch and looks like it needs to be modified or twisted to fit.. Has anyone else ever had this problem? The install guide on vfaq says...

    I replaced the gaskets (turbo oil return line to oil pan) and my leak stopped. hallelujah.
  37. Drivers side shock broke.. its just hanging there.

    How in the hell does a shock just break and hang down in there like that? I looked at it today after its been making noise for a week or so and its just completely stripped from where it was bolted onto. And of course the bolt looks rusted.. and its only got 135k mi on the car, and 75k on motor..

    Ok well after almost losing my engine to this damn oil leak... it leaks like crazy, its a constant flow, but when you sit there and watch at idle, it doesnt look like that much is coming out. BUT when im driving the sh*t just pours out i think... I'm gonna replace the crush washers for the...
  39. Mysterious oil leak on 97gsx.. near turbo.

    My car keeps leaking oil and I can't pinpoint exactly where it's coming from. It looks to be leaking from the oil return line where the flange is. However, the Stainless Steel oil line from RRE appears to have oil around the outside... I don't see how it could be leaking (SS line) because...

  41. timing belt install problems... marks not lining up

  42. Absolutley necessary to re-do timing when installing just the water pump?

    I have the belts and pulleys off, and I was wondering if it's absolutely necessary to re-do the timing... it looks like i can just take the old pump out and replace it.. but im assuming i have to re-do the timing... why is that? It looks so simple to just thrown on the new pump, but instead i...
