    Clutch/Hydraulic system woes.

    The connections in the clutch line system arent made to be used with teflon. You wont get them to thread right and tight.Have you tried slowly adjusting your pedal?(the rod that goes through the fire wall)

    Pics: My New son, who I named Talon!

    Dont let those people get you down. They dont seem to understand wanting a good life for your kid. The fact that your so upset shows how much you care. Atleast you love him and did it for the right reason, not just because you didnt want him.

    Does having a RED car get you pulled over?

    I never had a problem with my Gs-T. Modded with exhaust and open waste gate. Once I got my red MR2 thats completely stock, Ive been pulled over twice, both times the cop could not tell me why. They would run my info and send me on my way. Other than that I see cops change lanes, or pull out of...

    So my plates were out of date... (Pic inside)

    Reminds me of the two cars needed when I got pulled over. The sherrif either couldnt or wouldnt tell me why she pulled me over. She said "I just need to check some thing, liscence and registration".

    Crank pulley spins without the crank????

    Did the woodruff key vibrate out? Even with out the washer it should not be able to spin freely, just would slip off the front.

    started her up and it idles like crap

    Since your new I will be easy on you and warn you first. Edit your post so its not a run on sentence. Use punctuation (Im probly a bad example).A spun bearing typically is more of a knocking noise that speeds up when rpms increase. Do you still have all the heat shielding on, make sure its...

    How do I remove minute rust spots from cams

    Instead of sand paper, use emery cloth. Use something like PB Blaster (a liquid wrench). Like OldMan420 said, EMery cloth is the correct stuff. not sand paper.Ive also always used ScotchBright Pads. They wont scratch the softest of metals. They do a great job.

    Evo III 16G Turbo, FMIC & Other Power Adders Installation Advice Needed.

    Trust me when they say keep the boost low, keep the boost to no more than 15 psi. I got happy after my t25 crapped out and I put a evo3 in. Turned up the boost, couple monthes later melted a piston. Not trying to scare you, but no more than 15 psi and I suggest getting the logger asap no...

    Front wheel bearing

    Bearings are really not a big deal to press. A experienced machine shop can be done in less than an hour.

    Will a 5x112 wheel fit on eclipse?

    5x115 is different than 5x112. Allot closer. Im all for experimenting too, but remember you want the stud centered with the correct hub ring. If not you could get a bad vibration or a dangerous car. If the studs are hitting the rim when put on and not in the center of the whole, it wont allow...

    [RESOLVED] Timingbelt Falling Apart [Merged 8-8] groove cut short bolt bolts

    A new oem tensioner is good. Mitsu uses a hydrolic, Hondas I believe use spring. (correct me if im wrong on hondas)As far as the groove(if thats it), I know from experience. I ended up just taking the bolt out of the pan (closest 2 by the crank pully) and grinded them down a small bit. That...

    Balance Shaft Elimination Kit

    If its a 91 its most likely got a 6bolt. Crank walk was very un-common/ non-existant in them.

    Oil Flush? [Merged 9-7] engine Gunk flushing treatment

    Those engine flushes are like mineral spirates. They can wash out the bearings, bad news.

    [RESOLVED] Timingbelt Falling Apart [Merged 8-8] groove cut short bolt bolts

    Is it on the smooth side? Has the oil pan been removed before? If it has, there is a bolt that is shorter than the others for the oil pan. If another one is used, it usually rubs the belt.There is usually a lil bit of play, a pic would help allot.

    Balance Shaft Elimination Kit

    The bearing that the balance shafts ride in have oil passage (little hole drilled in them in one spot) to lubricate the shafts. Once there is no balance shaft to block that hole, oil will just squirt out. By turning the bearing it moves that hole away from the oil passages in the block. This...

    Balance Shaft Elimination Kit

    When doing the BSE, a BS bearing has to either be turned 180* or replaced with one that does not have a oil hole. If you dont do that, you can loose a lot of pressure.As far as the parastie gos, do you have a aftermarket system? (if not then) To find it you can take an amp meter (found...

    When I say tapping I mean anything vibrating against the engine. Like stated before, usually you dont hear knock or ping at idle

    Sounds like you may have a vaccum leak. Do a boost leak test and it will show any vaccum leaks.

    replacing bearings with engine in the car

    Trust me when I say if its your weekend racer and a DD, invest in a cheap truck for back up. It will come in handy aswell when you have to take something to a machine shop lol.Im glad to hear your gonna do it right tho. You should be able to unbolt the torque converter and shove it back with...

    Balance Shaft Elimination Kit

    Seriously balance shafts? Who needs those? :sneaky:Like others stated, the vibrations are very miniscule. Only there for the non-racing world. If you race its a piece of mind: less moving parts means less to brake. A spun BS bearing can be a pain in the tush. Plus the increase in oil...

    Some injectors do tick loud enough to hear. I dont know what causes it tho.

    I need help with tons of Knock

    Are you positive its not something tapping? A knock sensor will pic up a noise from something tapping the engine block.

    fmic

    The oil cooler on a 98 should be at the block. Between the filer and filter housing. yes the fog light will have to be removed. With most short route piping the coolent resevoir has to be relocted (dont plug off or get rid of it!)

    cant hold boost

    The stock boost controller usually is between 8-12 (ive heard people say differently from the boost guages). So if your not running an MBC, you may be spiking then settling to 10 psi. What rpm and how fast does it hit 14 psi?

    Awd auto/ 5sp swap

    To me it definatly was not the hardest thing to do. The only cutting I had was three holes in the fire wall to mount the clutch master to the pedal. A good dremel will make short work of that. Only took me about an hour including smoothing out the edges. I suggest removing the driver seat to...

    Awd auto/ 5sp swap

    I did the trans swap in my FWD 2g. Its easier in a 2g than a 1g. It wasnt to hard, but I highly recommend just getting a standard trans and building a motor for it. Much easier and the same money would build a nice engine. -Chad

    coolant leaking from water pipe...how to fix it???

    You gonna have to pull the turbo, or lift out the exhaust mani with turbo (best idea to me). Ive tried getting it without removing them and had no luck. But while you got it out, you minus well replace the o-ring at the other end, new t-stat. When you remove the t-stat housing, you will have to...
