Sup guys,I dropped my spyder 1.2" yesterday and noticed that I feel a little body roll (I believe that's what they call it) when I make turns or switch from lane to lane. I thought of installing a front strut tower bar, Do they really make a difference?Thanks

Sup guys,I was considering buying the folia-tec caliper paint for 35 bucks but saw the Dupli-Color caliper paint at AutoZone, Anyone ever try it? Is it any good? Is it as good as Folia-tec? Any one have any pics of their calipers painted with Dupli-color caliper paint? Any feedback would be...

Sup guys,I'm in need of a carfax report, Can someone help me out? I'd greatly appreciate it.Vehicle Info removedThanks

Did you use the high heat 1200c spray paint or the VHT paint?

Thanks, How long since you painted it? How much was the VHT paint?

Thank for your feedback guys, you all have been a great help.I finally installed the crossed drilled rotors and opted for monroe ceramic pads. I took the time to paint the calipers and after getting it done I have to say it looks pretty damn good. However I do have one problem, the brakes on...

Sup Guys,Can I use 1200c High heat engine spray to paint my headers? Will it chip? They look rusted, it's disgusting. Has anyone ever done it?Thanks

Thanks for the feedback guys. It will be for casual driving.One last question, is it necessary to bleed the brakes after I install the new rotors and brake pads?If so is it hard? I've never done it before.Thanks

Sup Guys,I purchased a new set of crossed drilled rotors and am a little unsure as to which type of brake finish to get Ceramic, Metallic or semi metallic? Which material would be most effective with this type of rotor? Any feedback would be greatly appreciate.Thanks

Three transmission mounts with a 2.4 engine? I just came back from autozone a couple of minutes ago and their system registers one transmission mount. Can anyone confirm this?Thanks

Sup Guys,I recently noticed that I have to replace my front transmission mount on my Spyder which has 2.4 engine. My questions is,1. How many mounts does a transmission with a 2.4 engine have?2. Any idea how much the transmission mount cost?Thanks

Sup Guys,When I start my car in the morning I hear a slight ticking noise that sounds like its coming from my valves but after a while it stops. Upon doing my research the majority of results I've received is that the noise is associated with lifter tick however none of them had a 2.4...

Sup guys,Either the search engine isn’t working properly or I’m not entering the correct key words but I’m not getting any results. Anyways here’s my question, where can I get eye lids (I believe that’s what they’re called or eyebrows) for my headlights on a 99 eclipse? Before anyone flames...

Is thta serious? how to I remedy that?Thanks

Sup guys,I'm still having the same problem. I rechecked the cables on the battery and retightened them in addition I checked the spark plug wires which are plugged firmly. This morning while driving, the check engine light flickered then the car shut off. All the lights on the dashboard came...

There was a little bit of oil on the tips of the sparks that I was replacing, meaning the ones I took out.

The lights definitely do not dim. There arent any symptoms other than what ive mentioned. I will check the spark plugs and wires tomorrow along with the battery wires. The loss is only momentarily when it doesnt shut off altogether, I would say about a second. I did change the wires and spark...

Sup Guys,I have a 99 GS Eclipse Spyder with a 2.4 engine, lately it has been shutting off on me while driving. Initially it would shut off while stopped at a red light and I would just quickly turn the ignition and it would start up again. I didnt think much of it then because it rarely...

The power and ground wire are 8 gauge. Is this gauge good for my set up or should I go bigger or smaller?

Is a ground loop insolator the same as a noise filter? If so I have tried it.btw, I made sure to run the rca's on the opposite side as the power wire. However, is it ok to have the turn on lead and some speaker wires run on the same side as the (red) power wire?

Sup guys,I have alternator noise that’s driving me insane, I have tried several times playing with the cables, readjusting the wires, re-positioning the ground, I’ve even purchased one of those noise Filters and tried installing it to the radio and then to the amp and nothing. I made sure to...

Sup guys,I currently own a 99 eclipse spyder and am considering installing front and rear strut bars. My question is the following; 1. How difficult is it to install a rear strut bar? 2. Is it something I can do myself? 3. Is it worth installing? (are there any notable differences?) 4...

I tested that recently, Yesterday my gas light went on, I proceeded to drive for another 30 miles with the light on. I go to fuel up my car today (sunoco regular unleaded) and it filled up with 13 gallons of gas, I guess it still had a little over 2 gallons of gas left. My odometer read 230miles...

Pooya: I’ve heard mixed opinions regarding using synthetic, but I don’t wanna open up a whole different can of worms on that subject. However, I don’t think there would be a big difference between using 10w-40 and 5w-40 or 10w-40 and 10w-30 for that matter, unless someone can prove me otherwise...

BTW, whats the correct way to reset the ECU? I've read several ways,1. unplug the negative battery cable for 5-10 minutes?2. unplug the negative battery cable for 5-10 with the car idling and hit the brakes a couple of times. Then reconnect and let the car idle for a while?3. unplug...

Preferably in the Bronx.Man you never realize how valuable a good body man or mechanic is until you loose em. They should rank right up there with a Good Doctor and dentist.Sup guys,I’m looking to do some minor body work on my car, paint the factory side skirts due to the color...

Sup guys,I’m consuming entirely too much gas. I currently live and do most of my driving in the city. Currently I’m consuming about 200 miles per tank which is roughly about 13 miles per gallon. Since initially having this problem I have given my car a complete tune up. I’ve changed the oil...

Sup guys,I have this nasty black sap stuff underneath both doors that tends to seep onto the door sills when its hot out. I'm sure some of you have this problem. I believe its some kind of insulator or something for the door panels. My question what is the most effective product I can use to...

Sup guys,I have a Hella Air Horn set up to sound off when I hit my car horn and when my alarm goes off. However, recently I noticed that when the alarm goes off the air horn sounds low almost as if its dying out however, when I hit the car horn it sounds perfectly fine. It's been like this...

Incidentally, I found what I believe to be the location of the front O2 Sensor, However, I ran into a couple of problems that maybe some one on the forum can help me out with, first of which the location of the o2 is near the bottom end, underneath the headers. Upon inspecting the one that is...

Sup Guys,I currently have Brembo cross drilled/slotted rotors (ebay) and noticed light squeeking lately when applying the breaks signifying that I might need to replace my pads soon. I have several questions, which to go with? Ceramic? Semi-Metallic? Metallic? Also as far as brands should I...

Kool, Thanks. :thumb:

you mean towards the bottom end of the headers?

(Please note this questions is for a "2.4" engine not a 2.0)Is it in the engine bay or is it located some where underneath?Any one have a picture of its location?Thanks

Im in the same vote. Im kinda leary about those dent puller thingamajigs as I've heard on other forums that they dont work very well. Had anyone actually had experience using one of these things? Was it successful?

Sup Guys,First off, I did a search and although I came up with a few results none were in reference to these lights. Now before anyone starts flaming me hear me out, I like my oem taillights, I've had em since I've owned the car but I'm considering changing the look a bit not as a permanent...

After getting a few quote's the cheapest I got was $200.00 with the work being guaranteed which is important to me because if it doesnt come out to factory match the color of the rest of the car or it comes out two shaded or the paint shows some drips I'm definitely gonna be bitchin.

Same here. I wasnt sure if it was a manufacturer's defect or just the sun that baked it.I'm getting mines repainted next week. I have a silver spyder and when the sun hits the side of the car the two tone color just annoys the hell out of me.

I'm getting conflicting info, I called one dealer and got more or less the same price, $75.00 however that's only for the two front. Then I called another dealer and they quoted me $175.00 for all four. Another dealer qouted me $95.00.I dont mind paying $70 bucks if its for all four.

Thanks wret but im looking for the original floor mats that say spyder on the side.

Besides the dealer.Thanks

Sup guys,I just got this from one of the other forums. I'll be giving it a shot this weekend.http://www.partsexpress.com/resources/relays.html

lol, yea same here. Like I mentioned I checked and even regrounded both my Pioneer head unit and amp, in addition played around with the rca's and nothing. I'm stumped.I remember reading somewhere that they sell a On/Off filter for this exact very thing, just dont recall where.

Sup guys,First off let me say that I did a search prior to posting and although I did find several post's, some were old, some weren't relative and on some I had already done what what the responders of those post's recommended. This isnt anything new but I own a Alphasonik PMZ12005A 1200W...

Damn Larson I'm trying to figure out exactly what piece of trim your talking about. Are you saying like the inside lining of the trunk? I thought it might be that or do you mean somewhere on the exterior of the trunk? What did you mean by "(flashing)"?Now your gonna have me applying...

Sup guys,Anyone ever applied dynamat in their spyder trunk? If so, how did it work out for you? Did it eliminate the trunk rattle? How difficult was the install? Did you do the entire trunk? How did it look? (pics would be great) I recently installed a Kicker L7 10" in my trunk, The inside...

Thanks Boosted. I actually did connect it via a harness and I agree it was much easier. I'm just confirming the connections. You mentioned you connected the blue/white wire to the remote turn on, where did you connect your antenna? I mean, do you have the remote factory antenna that extract's...

I have a Pioneer Head Unit (model#DEH-P8600MP), upon reading the installation manual I read some conflicting information. The Manual reads, "When an external amp is being used be sure not to connect the blue/white lead to the amp's power terminal. Likewise, do not connect the blue/white lead to...
