    What are the torque specs for exhaust header?

    Does anyone know the factory torque specifications for installing a new exhaust header? I figure the low end loss is worth the high end gain.Info: 1998 Eclipse GS 2.0L 420A

    420A Starting problem.

    Occasionally, my 98 GS will encounter a starting problem. Its almost like the engine isnt getting enough fuel. If I lightly depress my accelerator when trying to start the car, it fixes the problem. The spark plugs are new, I replaced them with the last oil change. My car has 94,000 miles on it...

    New CD player - no power antenna

    I've got a bit of a problem here.. I just replaced an old Alpine CD player with a new Pioneer. The alpine supported the power antenna. However, the Pioneer doesnt. While my Pioneer gets perfect reception even with the antenna down, I was wondering if there is any way to make the antenna raise...

    Need help buying Alternator Fast

    WTF What are you doing to kill your alternator? 2 OEMs plus your original sounds like there is more of an issue at work here.

    3000GT VR4 brakes on a 2G

    I havent actually done the mod, but I've seen it at NOPI tunerfest. Jason over at SuicideDoors.com has a plasma cnc if you need them professionally fabricated. I ordered quite a bit of stuff from him for my s10 minitruck. He does good work.

    between 60-65mph irritating whistle

    I get this irritating whistle sound at around 60 MPH that dissapears just before 65.. Oil and Transmission fluid are good. Changed oil, no metal flakes. Nothing seems to be rattling other than the fact I need to replace the left front strut. Someone suggested tire feathering but wouldnt that...

    BLOWN MOTOR!! I think

    A valve cover is just that.. a cover. Does the car smell of heavily burned oil? Low compression could be anything from rings to a cracked piston or cylinder.

    Custom 3in Exhaust

    For the price of the Jegs kit, you could just about get a full Apexi catback on ebay and know the bends are right.

    engine heater water return pipe

    So I'm cleaning up my car today when I realize I should probably replace the part shown below:I noticed its fairly rusty.. not just a light surface rust, but a little more heavily rusted on the surface on places. I have no idea what this part is called and I couldnt find it a mention of the...

    stupid newbie question

    I like my cruise control. It comes in handy when I'm driving long distance.. otherwise, I tend to end up going 65 ot 70 in a 55mph zone.

    Boring, stroking and more.

    Gas cap sets off check engine. Its driving me insane.

    My gas cap keep setting off my check engine light. If I tighten the cap, the light goes away. I've pulled the codes and they support this. Are there any fixes for this other than replacing the gas cap?

    Idea for a slotted rotor mod

    Assume you have drilled and cross slotted rotors:Wouldnt it make sense to extend the slot to the outer edge? I mean... it aids in cooling and helps to vent gasses so why not? I was only able to find a FEW that had slots that extended all the way to the edge. I'm curious as to why more...

    Soooo Sad

    If you decide to part out the car, I could use the interior piece that slides forward to cover the sunroof. Last but not least... atleast you walked away =) I had to be cut out of a car in February after an uninsured Kentucky motorist decided to try and run the light to the bridge going back to...

    Hello, thinking about buying an Eclipse 2G

    Check AutoTrader.com. If you need a carfax, get ahold of me.. I have an unlimited account good till January 12th or so. I recomend the 97 & 98 models as they dont seem to have as many rust issues.I snagged my eclipse from AutoTrader by sheer luck. Its a hell of a car. I paid $3795 for it...

    Spoiler question

    I have a 98 GS with the low rise spoiler... I would like to change it to the spoiler shown below:My question is.... will I have to do any body work or will the spoiler line up with where the original is placed?

    Need new brakes, start recommending...

    Try to keep from using cheaper metallic pads if you can. They make a lot of dust and tend to squeak when its damp outside (until they warm up a bit). Your calipers are probably fine... but I would get some brake cleaner and engine paint. It never hurts to have clean, fresh looking calipers.As...

    Car alarm?

    Dead battery and I cant find a place in town that sells these.

    question with fuel filter replacement

    Yes, there are all those filters.. but some how... I managed to get about 30 little pieces of rubber in the tank of my motorcycle from filling up at 76 station once.... Needless to say, I was quite upset.

    No Start

    If the caps have blown, it will smell a lot like wet pennies. Odd observation.. but it holds true.

    Hub Assembly won't come off, any tips?

    Do you have a puller? Maybe if you put constant pressure on it, and increased it (with the use of a puller) you could get the hub to come off.

    "Cryo" intake (cooled intake gimmick)

    Looks to me like the bulb would restrict flow even though its streamlined. It is practically half the pipe. I've got to agree with Defiant that this would most likely be useless. The only logical way for this cooling to be effective would be in an EXTREMELY humid condition. Air wouldnt cool very...

    lets talk ebay exhaust manifolds

    DC Sport makes some nice 4 into 2 into 1 headers in ceramic coated or regular stainless for around $300 shipped (ebay) or $380 (retail). I wanted a set but I'm still running the el-cheapo $60 set. No complaints here but the connection to the downpipe could use improvement.By the way.. the DC...

    Car using coolant?!?

    If there is oil in your coolant, it will float to the top and sometimes (but now always) you will be able to check this by your reserve. On a side note, it tends to turn into sludge if it mixes with coolant.I agree on the water pump theory. Sounds like it could be going out. There could also...

    Slight hum between 60 and 65mph @ 2200-2300rpm

    That seems logical, just replaced a ball joint and had the car aligned because it needed it. (needed it before anyhow) so the tires are probably warn unevenly.

    NO RUST - how can I keep it that way?

    My 98 has absolutely no rust on the strut towers or inner fender areas. I've heard that a lack of undercoating in these areas makes them vulnerable. Has anyone found/created a method to address this? I'm curious as to how much dissasembly would have to occur to get to these areas to undercoat...

    Slight hum between 60 and 65mph @ 2200-2300rpm

    My 98 GS is experiencing a slight hum when I'm doing between 60 and 65 (62-64mph). If I let off the accelerator a bit, the hum dies. The car is mechanically sound but I cant figure this one out for the life of me. This is the only speed range that makes this sound. It sounds almost like...

    new engine broken in wrong QUICK REPLY

    Before I totaled my 96 (hit a wandering stray horse in the middle of the night) I would call one of my cop friends and use the highway as a test track. 10 miles of mostly straight beautiful 4 lane pavement.. virtually zero traffic after about midnight.It was great.As for your usage, my...

    2G Strut tower rust [Merged]

    Is that epoxy? WTF I would start looking for totaled DSM's at junkyards and try to buy a complete front end. Sometimes you can get a front that has been cut just behind the dash. It should give you enough usable room to cut a replacement and then weld it into place.At this point, thats...
