    Rebuild or Buy a different engine...

    He already has the car, he said he already picked it up.OT: I would go ahead and find a new block and start fresh. If the old block checks out good you can start putting together a spare block in the meantime.

    420A Are my back tires supposed to be in about a half inch at the top?

    The best advice I could give you in this situation is pretend the "New Thread" option doesnt exist and spent a few days searching for the answers.More than one of your recent post have been covered in detail prior to you joining.A forum isnt designed to be a quick answer outlet. It is...

    poly mount excessive vibration

    When my car behaves and idles at ~800 RPMs my rearview is vibrating like I had subs. It seems to be the nature of 1g's. It does smooth out ~1100 RPMs for me.

    FMIC Install Issue - Dremel

    I have one of the cheaper habor freight dremels, thing just likes to bite and the motor isnt strong enough to keep up with the torque. I wanted something that would do the Front mount job with somewhat ease. Have you guys cut through similar metal as the radiator support with the craftsman?

    EMS reqiured for cams?

    Assuming you have the supporting modifications for 280's already on the car, you should already have some form of tuning in place. If not, then you are going about it in the wrong direction.

    90 AWD Eclipse Slave Cylinder

    So my slave cylinder is completely dead. It leaks fluid faster than I can pour more in. So I went down to my local parts store and looked for a new one since I didn't really want to wait for one to ship. I had the understanding that it was temporary and I wanted an OEM one. Well I basically tell...

    Tail pipe flames

    An ember from a cigarette will ignite gasoline, thats a fact.As far as shooting flames from an exhaust, whats the point. Asking a question on a forum dedicated to people who are car enthusiast, not fanboys, about shooting "fake" flames out is just outright dumb.

    Go to the nearest gas station. Pump exhaust full of 93(because its better), then throw a lit cigarette in the tail pipe.You now have flames.

    Camera help

    If you have no port for a cable to go into the phone(unlikely) then you can use a USB device called a Card Reader - Made for Micro SD or SD cards out of cameras. Of course this would mean your phone would have an SD card that is removable and the pictures were being stored on it.

    High Rough Idle - Fixed by 91 ECU

    Was referring to what he said. He seems to think it invloves more. I read the vfaq.com and it said 6 and 14 going from 91 to 90 and 90 to 91. It didnt show a difference. I was just going to see if he had some verification to back up what he said.

    Renting a winch to get my car on a trailer?

    Might be a little "ghetto" but I used a truck and chain to pull my car up onto a trailor. Same concept as a wench with a little more force. Also comes with the risk of messing something up.

    2G So i spun a rod bearing on my crank and in my rod.

    Considering that he is asking about a swap one would assume that would include a head. Any motor than has spun a bearing usually requires the head to be decked/cleaned and reassembled. Why spend the extra money at a machine shop when he can buy a longblock and not worry about it.As with most...

    how do you ensure tdc on cylinder one?

    I have a small metal rod that I sit down in cylinder one for testing purposes. You can see when you rotate the crank it will get to its highest point. I usually do about 10-15 rotations so I can get a feel for exactly when it starts to go back down. Best way to ensure TDC for Cylinder 1 in my...

    Bumper fitment issues

    You said you can push it up so it allignes correctly. Why not just slot the holes where the original bolt goes and use a washer and bolt to hold it at the new point. That way you can adjust it when need be. Seems a lot easier than cutting the support.

    First time to track looking for tips.

    Doing a burn out on street tires hurts you, it doesnt help you. With heat slicks become sticky, the opposite goes for street tires. Street tires become slick with heat so doing a burn out is pretty damn dumb.

    My build is about to begin... what do you think?

    How did you paint the intercooler? Using conventional spray paint really is the worst possible way to do it considering it does effect the amount of cooiling the fins can accomplish. I understand not wanting a flashy intercooler but killing efficiency while doing it is a bad idea.
