I just got my gsx and am currently driving it home. Trying to find out why the cigarette lighter plug wasn't working for my gps, I took a to see if it was connected under the dash. It was not, in fact it was cut off to feed power to other things in the car. Thinking I'd get to that when I had...

Hello all, I am attempting to do a swap from old rusty drums to some GS-T disk brakes. This is my first brake job whatsoever so the idea here was to use as much common sense and online help as there is available. There's a bunch of different write-ups on the subject, but as far as i know they...

Changed Oil last night, trying 5w30 high mileage synthetic blend. Main seal was also leaking but not too bad so I figured I'd give the stop leak stuff a try. It supposedly will make the gaskets swell a bit to try to close the gap in the main seal. Guy at pep boys said it was my best shot in...

There's one pesky part I can't seem to find for my drum to disc brake swap. The e-brake assembly. I've scoured the local craigslist ads and called all the part-outs. Looked on ebay... nothing. So I'm going to the junkyard.Question is - what models can I steal it from. I know Eclipse...

So soon, Ill be doing the drum to disc conversion. And naturally I'm checking out different pads and rotors - after I bought semi-metallics from summitracing. I guess I just didn't know there were so many options out there. I live in upstate NY where weather and salt definitely are an issue...

I just picked up some Evo 8 Enkei wheels. They're 8" wide, 17R 35 offset. The idea was to refinish them cause the paint on there right now is crap. They'll be flat black as I like the black on black look with my gs-t 5 spokes. And these will be for dedicated summer tires as well. The gst's...

This is a 420a engine. I had my head gasket and valve cover gasket replaced recently, but have not got around to cleaning all the oil leaks from before off the engine. I finally did today. Trying to clean the valve cover I let degreaser sit oni it for a bit and rinsed off with water. Since my...

Has anyone ever tried removing the threaded mounts for the heat shield and polishing these?I kind of want to see what it could look like.

I definitely want to the drum to disc conversion in the rear, Its extremely rusty right now, so it would be an appearance thing as well.Any recommendations on brake pads? I was thinking ceramic with the drilled and slotted rotors off eBay (also appearance from what I understand) but the...

Hello guys I want to do some diy suspension upgrade. Wondering what will be most cost effective front & rear sway bars or front and rear strut bars.Thanks

Since I got my car I have noticed the swirl marks & small dings all over in good lightingPlus I'm getting my rusty strut tower fixed by a local place for an estimated $150. This is so cheap because I will be doing the painting myself. I'm also getting my rear hatch fixed which will add a...
