I was driving home from work and i realized that my dash/headlights were dim (obviously it was my alternator) and that i had "no" oil pressure. i pulled over right away.. i popped my hood with my car still running. i pulled my throttle cable a little to see if my lights would get any brighter...

i went to autozone today to get a price idea...looks like im gonna be spending around 300 for the alt and all new belts

idk, when i started my car to test the alternator, the belt started to shred, i dont want to chance turning the car on

I was driving home from work the other day, when my car shut off, mid drive. my friend jumped me, and i drove about 50 feet down the road, then it died again. i got sick of it and threw a jumper box under my hood and made it about 2 miles, back to my house.the next day i went to check out...

so i went to the shop today to get my dunlop direzza star specs put on (superb tires btw) and my personal mechanic said that i need to get 2 new struts in the back bc they are blown...ive probably looked at at least 10 sites and cant find anywhere to buy them...any ideas on where and...

any known problems with them cracking?

i recently went down to autozone and bought some ceramic duralast pads and was wondering if i could use those with the race concept rotors

ok im looking for some drilled or slotted rotors for my 98 gs-ti dont drag race or anything, and most of my driving is done on country roads so im looking for something that is fairly cheap but have decent performance, but arent garbage. any suggestions?

it was pinned at H and when i looked down and saw it i was at like 5krpms in 3rd, idk if i have any really serious damage..i looked for leaks and found nothing

yea i was thinking about my head gasket im starting to plan out an engine rebuild so i might be doing it a little sooner than planned

it never leaked so i never had to add any coolant.i start my car and drive and it just keeps rising and never stops.if it is my thermo, how can i fix it?

both of my fans are spinning and my coolant is boiling inside of my reservoir, so im sure it wouldnt be the sensor...? maybe im wrong idk

sooo i get in my car today and drive to the bank... as im leaving i see my friends evo and blew past him. when i looked down at my dash i saw that i was over heating. i stopped, topped off my coolant, waiting 20 mins then kept driving. it went down to normal, but when i started driving again...

only problem is that i can only run 1 set of wires to the amp from my deck

i ahve an audiobahn and a JBL sub both 10" 800watt400rms the guy i bought them from had a 1000watt amp connected to it and they bumped dumb hard

awesome thanks :thumb:

so i have a box with 2x800watt(400rms each) subs.. i currently have a 1000 watt pyramid 4chan amp connected to it i have both subs running out of the rear channels. for the rear channel i have settings for mono or bridge, on the mono setting its kinda quiet and i get more kick when i put it...

make pizza..my hours are random but friday i always work 10-6 but im in the bars alot ill bring the dsm out there and park it in the mobile parking lot..white 98 gst

i bring it there sometimes, but i dont really trust people out there ive already had my system/deck/gps/radar stolen...but when im at work i park in the back parking lot across the street from the bank/mobile gas station

i work at fat bobs in new paltz...some nice cars out there see a gt-r around a bit..lots of stis couple dsms

lived there all my life..

im from pine bush but i live in middletown area now..if anyone wants to meet up b4 the middletown carshow on friday nights lmk

so the other day i jumped my car off of my friends and we were all leaning into my hood, i was taking the jumper off and they were checking out my engine... i took the positive side off and when it was about 4 inches away from the battery terminal, a spark jumped to it and the battery blew up...

its wierd though bc even though its only 200, it bumps harder then my friends 2x sony xplodsit cost 570 for that speaker and box online... they say that 1 square kicker of 500 watts is stornger than 3x circle subs of 500watts eachwhen he had it in his jeep it was loud as hell

My friend has a 2009 jeep srt-8(crazy it does the quarter in 11.4 with a chip as the only mod) and took the stock 200-watt square kicker out of it and giving it to me for $100would the amp that comes stock with a 98 eclipse gs-t (under passenger seat) be good for a 200-watt sub?that and...

my odometer is working just my speedo is screwy

alright so i went to go see if it was plugged in...and the insert plug is missing.... OMG:hmm::ohdamn::cry::banghead:

my speedometer just stays at 0...sometimes when im accelerating really hard it will jump up and down, but besides that it just stays at 0

ive got a family member whos a teamster and master mechanic come over tomorrow to look at it im just trying to get some suggestions of things to check.. thanks!

i really hope its not that 2 letter word :[:banghead:

i have 161k miles on my gst and havent seen crankwalk:sneaky::sneaky:

yes. when i would try to accelerate hard in first gear, i was having quite a bit of clutch slipping. also sometimes when i would be pushing my car hard and would be at around 5-6k rpms i would lose all power to my wheels for a second then it would snap back in really hard and jolt my whole car...

so i thought that my slave cylinder was messed up, so i got a new one and went to put it on my car and i realized that my clutch engagement tab, that comes out of my transmission is putting absolutely no pressure against my slave cylinder rodinstead of it being pushing against the slave...

alright so i turned on my car after it sat for about 3 hours and i couldnt put it into any gear...i turned off my car and held down the clutch and it went right into gear...then i can start it in gear and it will shift, but with a bit of resistance..the clutch is really wierd...sometimes...
