    eccentric strut bolts

    I completely understand where they are supposed to go. What I don't understand it the washer with the angle tab and a smaller tab at a 90. I don't understand how to install this weird washer.

    eccentric strut bolts

    Does anyone have a picture of a set of eccentric bolts installed on their struts on a 1g? I can't figure this out.

    can't find fuel line 1g dsm

    I am in the middle of swapping stuff from an eclipse into a talon. The talon was stripped when I got it. I somehow didn't grab the fuel line that connects the hard line to the sending unit. I am moving an don't have time or money to run a new upgraded fuel line. The piece I'm looking for is...

    Any1 wanna look at my car thats in peices?

    Well, toss some good headstuds and a nice headgasket on it and put her back together. Could polish the crank and put some bearings in the bottom end since its apart. And then we its all back together figure out why it died in the first place.

    Any1 wanna look at my car thats in peices?

    Could it have been a bad diagnosis? Maybe it just died. And someone assumed the dsm bent the valves seeing as it does happen often due to neglect with these cars. I have purchased cars that "had bent valves" just to find something simple to beat fault . Just my two cents...

    oil squirters vs. ceramic coated piston tops or both

    Its only the 2nd gen squirters that where an issue. 1g squirters are narrow and always squirt. 2nd gen had bullet style squirters with a spring and check ball. They are only supposed to open and higher oil pressure and feed the crank while under idle and low engine speeds. Then when your oil...

    Grinding/Howling noise while coasting

    I believe first and third and 2nd and forth with reverse and 5th sharing shafts. No noise in 5th gear? I rebuild differentials often as well as regear and lockers. Does the noise change pitch when going on and off throttle? Carrier bearings and pinion bearings will do that when pitted. Usually...

    radiator core support- all the same? 2G

    The non turbo core supports are different from the turbo units. The cross member beams that go between the k member and the core support are in different locations. I read this in a build thread last week. He put a non turbo one on his car just to find out he could not bolt up the beams. So he...

    odd staring issue

    When you deleted the canister what did you do with the line on the lower firewall that went to the canister? Did you cap it? I wonder if the stock fuel cap is vented or not. And I winder if our tanks have another way of relieving pressure or suction of the tank besides through the canister and...

    Thanks!! For sure. This one was junkyard bound when I found it. Only has 94000 on it. It was WAY to clean to send off. Plus I live in the mountains. There are barely any of these around here.
