I wanted to let everyone know the issue to the leaking was incorrectly installed seals. Finally got around to driving the car, put about 100 miles on it. No leaking! Thanks for the criticism and help from everyone! Shoutout to twicks69, you're...-
DogWhistle reacted to Salty-Seagull's post in the thread Salty Seagull's RS to GS Upgrade with
Like.I spoke too soon about the fluid leaks being resolved. Despite it being new, the oil drain plug that came with my aftermarket oil pan was leaking, so I replaced it with an OEM one. So far so good. 🤞I still have a small transmission fluid leak... -
DogWhistle reacted to Dusty Landrum's post in the thread Rust returned, what did I do wrong? with Like.Been saying this since day 1 haha. Goes for ANY metal part you can remove. Other wise wire wheel it, use the por15 metal prep then por15 "paint".

I found some info that might be relevant to the DSM folks who want to do this. I was all set to use a Tilton pump & Mocal oil cooler to cool my transmission (and spray down the 3/4 cluster), but I realized that Mitsubishi did something different...

DogWhistle replied to the thread 420A Friend offered to sell me his '98 Eclipse RS for around 2k and I'm not sure if it's worth it..The mechanical things you listed can be fixed relatively easily. You didn’t list the mileage and what is known about the maintenance of the engine and transmission. That’s where things can start to get expensive. And even then, you’ll have to...

If you seriously have 100% leakage on #1 and #4 and if you didn't realize anything while running the leak down test, then you didn't do it properly. You don't need soapy water, what you do is just focus to listen/feel the air. Maybe it's hard to...

DogWhistle replied to the thread 2G Recommendations for Power Antenna for GST Spyder 99.First hand experience here. Our Spyder had the same, common antenna problem. Although we had a fixed antenna removed from *Race Car*, we opted to replace the nylon cord inside the antenna assembly since we could hear the motor run too. The...

DogWhistle reacted to Salty-Seagull's post in the thread Salty Seagull's RS to GS Upgrade with Like.I took some time to detail the engine bay today. The 420A is a good looking engine IMO. 😀I discovered a transmission fluid leak though, 🤔 so it's going back into the shop soon.

DogWhistle reacted to Salty-Seagull's post in the thread Salty Seagull's RS to GS Upgrade with Like.Last night was Cruise Night in Fort Gratiot, MI. I took the Eclipse out with my family and it was an awesome, perfect; beautiful night. It was a dream come true and I can't wait to do it again. 😁There are two things that concern me though.I...

DogWhistle reacted to Salty-Seagull's post in the thread Salty Seagull's RS to GS Upgrade with Like.I picked up my Eclipse from the mechanic this evening and went for a drive. It was amazing, and well worth the wait. I didn't feel like it was going to stall, and it seemed very smooth. If I'm not mistaken, the car turned a few heads too. 😁In...

Latest report on this car is I’m finally getting to Drive it! I have a new job and now must commute 32 miles each way. The fun part is that I go in the opposite direction of traffic, and often I will go 10 or 20 mile stretches without being...

Hey Dusty, I've gone through similar in life with wanting a car, and not having the support for it ect. When my wife and I first started getting into a serious relationship, I told her one thing that would end it, no matter what. I had seen many...

I love how every state is now apparently the sunshine state.Nope. That’s Florida. Get your own title scrubs. Can’t have ours. :P

DogWhistle replied to the thread 2G Evo 3 intake mainfold or aftermarket?.The EVO 3 manifold has shorter runners than the DSM intake. The effect of this is reducing some lower RPM torque for a little more response in the mid range RPMs. Whether that’s a benefit to you depends on how you plan to drive your car.Many...

DogWhistle reacted to Laika's post in the thread 1G Replacing 1G MPI Relay with Bosch-style Relays with Like.In this guide I will be describing how I replaced the MPI relay for a 1990 Eclipse GSX with 3 Bosch-style relays. This approach is useful if you had a MPI relay go out and you don't want to pay over $100 for a new one or if you are worried about...

Got the air bag delete from Carbonetics, it's a pretty nice piece! Much better than just having an open hole in that location imo. I believe I ordered it in December, so honestly it came at the perfect time for me. I tried to order as soon as I...

Just a little fun update I have for today. I have installed a switch panel in the location of where a radio deck would go, and have deleted most of the car's speakers. I didn't want to totally lose the ability to listen to music though, because...

I do have them along with rear seat trim panels and all the seats, in cloth. Send us a DM and we can discuss further.

We might have the door panels. I'll check today.

It'd be "a whole lot cooler if you did" 🤣. Wait i mean a whole lot cooler if you did keep it.You would be one of the coolest 70 year olds ever if you kept it
