Rock from a lawnmower is the fastest

clockwise is fine. Dont let it go backwards. Thats how you jump time. Edit: Pulley looks fine. When the rubber starts to separate you need to replace.

where did you go to test the alt? Autozone? Go to an actual alt/starter rebuilder. They can test it and know how to test it.

you can't really say it's to much. Some areas it's harder to find these cars. In mass where im from a car with that many miles would probably go for 1200, down here in Mississippi where I am now it would go for 3000.

have someone scan the car to see what the code is. Do a boost leak test. Get ready to do timing belt, probably not timing but needs to be done.

did you buy it from a private party or a dealership? Most states the lemon law only apply to cars bought at a dealership. And even then when you sign a bill of sale that says as-is or no warranty you usually give up that right.

Just figured I'd stop by and fill you guys in. Found out my old eclipse snapped the timing belt, only had about 10k on it. I think something was telling me to get out of it, lol. Gonna try and pick it up again. Rebuild again. trying to grab it for about 400.

Yeah, no Toyota's for me.

Just because I needed something with more room doesn't mean I don't still want to have fun.

Already pricing turbo parts, lol.

I don't think Dsm's have problems. I though all cars do if they're not takin care of. It doesn't matter what it is, if you beat on it and never do maintenance it's gonna have issues.

Both of mine are still in their seats too, they are 2 and 4. Then you have me, I'm 6 foot, 220lbs. Nobody sits behind me lol. The wife has her car but she broke down about two months ago and started getting worried, if something happens to her car they're stuck. So we decided that I'd get...

So after a lot of thinking I traded my gst. I didn't want to but the eclipse just wasn't practical as a daily driver with two kids. I do plan on getting another someday money permitting. I think I made out pretty good though. Even swap for a 98 jetta vr6. Let me know what you think

Id be down for a meet. I'm in pontotoc, that's just West of Tupelo.Edit: holy crap this is an old thread!

The manufacturing if a car normally starts a year in advance and they usually hit the lots in September. So your car being a 96 could have been bought in September of 95.
