Hey guys I just started welding at work like 2 weeks ago. I love it, because we fab all kinds of stuff. Mostly using the MIG now. My manager who is teaching me can put down an awesome looking bead, and when he gave me a few small tips mine started to look just as good. My welds look pretty good...

Well I apprieciate that! :thumb: I didnt know either, but I take it as this guy has had the expierence of putting them in an auto car.

yeah thats weird I was looking at it earlier on their website. It doesn't say just manual, it has the same part number for all the 2g's....I found some info on putting window weld in the mounts too, but my cars a DD so i dont have much downtime for them to dry and cure. I could get all 4...

and these are for an Auto?

I need motor/trans mount inserts because the rubber in them is rotten and the rear roll stop I think is letting the engine roll under hard acceleration. Its for a auto n/t 420a. I was thinking Prothanes but I can only find them for a manual car?? Anyone have protanes installed on an auto? any...

Should I just stick with rubber then?

that would be around the same price as the kyb rubber replacements. So I'll have to buy a spring compressor too, because I am on stock springs?

yeah i found some by kyb on rock auto. Is it simple to change?

The rubber bushings on my front strut mounts are rotten and cracked and I think that they are making a squeaking noise when i turn. So, can i just replace the bushing, or will i have to buy the mount too?

well my plan is to just pull out the headliner too and do it all in black suede and not put in the visors and oh shit handle lol, and paint the little plastics pieces. should look good. I just dont know where to get the suede, I took a quick look at joann fabrics and didnt see anything really...

Im having the same problem as the op and looking to replace the inserts with prothane's, and i heard that the rear mounts size is different in a manual and auto. Any truth to this? Is the link for a auto or manual?

hey guys my headliner material is coming off my sunroof slider and it looks terrible and some of the old adhesive is falling down off of it. Has anyone else had this problem? and any suggestion of what to do? thanks

hmmm.. i do have some left from spraying my drip molding. Did you do that to yours?

It was awesome i just had the regular clear so its pretty shiny. Easy to use no mixing reducer or thinner, you just shake it and stir it up and your ready to spray. 1 can did 4 coats for me. i think matte proboblly would look better on my car rather than the clear ### my rims are matte black but...

Thanks! :D and i appreciate your help!

There she is. if you have the choice dont do hood pins they never seem to fit perfect.

Thanks alot for the help man. i sanded the drops down till they were flat the layed two more coats. It looks so awesome man. It looks better than the day i got it! ill post a pic tomorrow after i put my hood pins on.

i kept it how it was and used some tsp then tacked and then painted. layed down a coat and it looked great then i get done doing the second coat it looks great but when i was stepping out of my paint booth a few drops of paint came out the top of the gun and splat on the wet paint. so i got...

i started wetsanding with 800 grit with a little soap in a spray bottle but it just didnt look right so i continued to wetsand all my oxidation off with just the sandpaper and running the hose over it. i did straight lines as best as i could up and down the hood( notice the streaks up and down)...

I got a few long scratches on my drivers side window and i tried to take a pic but i couldnt really get one that you could see them. It doesnt really bother me now but im getting my winodws tinted soon so i dont know if thats going to stand out on the tint. You guys know any tricks to getting...

hey guys i dont mean to hi jack but im in the same boat. Im in the process of reclearing my hood and ive wetsanded all day today and it just doesnt look right. I got all the oxidation off but its not uniform, its kinda streaky. so i went in straight lines and its still streaky, kinda worried if...

dude, your doing what i can only dream about. Ever since i bought my dsm i wanted to completely build it from the top to bottom with the best parts. Current income restricts me from this. Dont let haters get you down man, theyre jealous. Do what makes ya happy! best of luck with the rest of the...

Nitto Neo Gens ftw! :hellyeah:

how often do you guys change your tranny fluid? and how do you know when to change it? thanks

JNZ didnt have them last time i checked. I could not find them anywhere.

Did you guys take the rail off the car to plasti dip it?

i tried to get a passengers upper drip moulding and jnz said its discontinued idk what to do with it now. it looks like crap with the metal showing through the black

well i couldnt feel more retarded right now haha

yeah i made my throttle cable as tight as i could but i havent cleaned the tb or air sensor. what would i clean that with and how?

sorry to bring up my old thread but i tryed seafoam and i don t see a difference in power. when i put the seafoam in the vacuum line my whole motor was shaking like crazy. i put it in the tank, vac line, and the crankcase. it did live up to the hype of a good smelling smoke show lol

yeah i dont see how a cop can pull you over because he could tell the difference between 20 and 30 when your driving by

oh man. what was your states minimum %?

i want to tint my eclipses windows. the state law here in Indiana is 30% sides and back..and as1.. so ive been looking at pictures of both 20% and 30% and decided that 20% would look better. im still debating because i dont want a ticket or to scrape my tint off when i get pulled over for too...

I bought a tsudo n1 catback for my gs and the resonator pipe i got with it didnt have threads for the o2 sensor, so i demanded to have one sent to me. while it was in the mail i made the one already installed work to thread in the o2. so now i got a brand new stainless steel resonator pipe(next...

I just moved to saint john, indiana. dsm's are pretty rare around here

appreciate the help guys. I sawed off my U from my old hood and welded it on what was left on the CF hood. I did use a wet rag to cool it right after each weld. fit great! then put hood pins in the radiator support and i was good to go:D thanks

sorry bout the bad pic but this is how it turned out. couldnt be happier with the paint. matched up great, took a long time to get er done between work and school but the car never looked better. :rocks:

thanks bro. what if i took the u off the old hood and welded it on to the new hood? but how would u get both parts off..

holy crap your good judging by your avatar. but i got to open the hood

im going to go change my major to zip tie mechanic tomorrow just so im prepared.but will the carbon fiber get too hot?

its only 2 years old too. i dont understand why vis wouldnt use stainless haha. i guess your lucky. any other suggestions?

please explain stainless zip ties. and the hood already has two hood pins, but i want that extra security

I recently got in a wreck and i needed a new hood so i bought a VIS invader carbon fiber hood used. the U hook thing on the bottom side of the hood that latches to the stock hood latch on the body is rusted and does not make a U. look at the pics for a better understanding. sorry haha. I was...

ok cool ill give that a try. I bought the paint and almost sanded down the cover to plastic. Ill post pics when im done if anyone is interested.

hey worp the plastic weld you recommend to fill in the license plate holes, do you mean JB Weld?

Thanks for helping everyone!!! haha im jokingUpdate: I passed emissions. :D The other day I went to fill up and i noticed that i had a bad gas leak from above the rear axle. So we thought it had to be the filler neck that was leaking so we took off the plastic guard under the wheelwell to...

My Eclipse failed the emissions test(p0455 EVAP Gross Leak), so i took it to a mechanic and he said that there diagnostics couldn't find anything and he would have to drop the tank and he also said that once you replace one part under there you'll end up replacing many others. I've tryed...

ok and is there a better place to buy the actual paint for it than paint scratch.com? my dad used this on his 4 runner and its still holding up, im just wondering and all do i need? for the prep work? thanks guys

ok guys so should i chip off all the rest of the paint on the bumper then prep it? I recently spray painted my rims black and they turned out pretty good. and im sort of a perfectionist so i like to do as much as i can by myself

ok sooo my best bet is to sand off all the paint on the cover im thinkin?
