I purchased a reman rack and pinion assembly from Detroit axle back in early 2019.It started leaking shortly after install. I got around to pulling it to try a rebuild for myself this time, and once I took it apart I was horrified at what I found.The grease in the rack was severely...
My car is relatively easy to break traction with while turning right. I assume it just lights the 2 inside tires up, since it does not cause it to go sideways.Turning left is more difficult and the rear kicks out when it happens, much like you'd expect from a car with an LSD.Is this normal...
As the title states, a previous owner of my car removed the charcoal canister, lines, purge valve etc from my car. The vapor line is capped on top of the tank and the fuel cap is the only means of venting.A vented cap spills fuel on the side of the car from time to time and makes my garage...
I've been looking for a hahn/dejon/alamo SMIC for my 1g for the past year or so and have so far come up dry, so I'm starting to explore other options.I could build my own, but I don't have access to a TIG welder and hate to buy one just for this project.Does anyone want to build me a custom...
For sale is a set of gray cloth seats out of a '90 eclipse. They are the base seats without lumbar or bolster adjustment. They are a matching set, the fronts are just faded worse than the rearOverall in decent shape. Some fading and sun damage. The car only had 55,000 miles so the foam...
My 2nd gear synchro is out of my '91. I'm weighing my options right now on a fix. I'm debating between sending it to jacks/TRE for a rebuild, buying a local used '92 transmission, or holding out for a 94+ with the double synchro 2nd gear.I've never driven a 2nd gen turbo DSM. Do the revised...
I'm in need of an intercooler, my SMIC is not keeping up.I'm trying to keep my car as un-butchered as possible. Unfortunately, all the FMIC kits require cutting, and upgraded SMICs are impossible to find.Does anyone run the metal lower brace on their 1G bumper with an FMIC? Specifically...
Car is a '91 TSi AWD.I'm having random phantom knock problems, and my knock sensor has lost it's goo so I'm sure it's bad. Its happening randomly under vacuum, I haven't seen it knock under boost.Anyway, where is the best place to get a new knock sensor? Looks like OEM is discontinued...
I'm about at my wits end with this problem.Car is a 91 TSi AWD, all stock except for ecmlink and a wideband.The car makes no attempt to speed up the idle when you kick the a/c on. Normal idle is perfect at around 800rpm, it drops to about 500 with the a/c.I put the car in diagnostic mode...
My 99 eclipse just started having a really lopey idle the other day, really sounds like it has aftermarket cams or something. It also has a miss at low rpm when the a/c turns on, or any other time when the engine is loaded below 2000 rpm. I have a new coil pack, new plugs and wires, passed...
I just put a new door on my 99 and I need to tip the window in a little for it to seal properly, It is too vertical now and does not want to go into the groove properly when you shut the door, and does not press up against the weather stripping like it should. The door is lined up perfectly...
I have a 99 eclipse 420a and I am having trouble getting my windshield to defrost. My heater blows nice and hot, but my front defrost is like an asthmatic blowing through a straw, barely defogs the windshield, let alone de-ice it. I know it is probably a problem with the defrost door or its...
