My car broke and I have had trouble deciding what to do with it. This build is awesome and very inspiring, though mine is a 420a platform, after seeing/reading all of this really has me wanting to do a full teardown, street build. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up all the great work!

Did a compression test. Readings were 120,70, 70, 120. Its a head gasket. Started tear down tonight. Thanks for the direction guys, very much appreciated

Ok so heres my dilemma. I have a 95 420a first off. I was drivin down the road, car was running fine. Happened to look down and saw my temp gauge just in the red. Came to a stop sign and when I stopped the car died. Being as I was in the middle of the road I treid to start it back up. After a...

Yea I ended up getting it worked out. Thanks guys

Ok so the other day I rolled my window down about a quarter of the way. When I went to roll it up it was stuck. It would roll down further but wouldn't roll up. Today I went to roll it down farther to get access to the bolts for the glass and the handle arm is stripped, it just spins. I know now...

I just posted the pic I have of my shift boot in the interior shots gallery. If it helps come spring I have to redo it, ill photo and post the process when I do.

The shiftboot was pretty easy. Once I got it out I carefully cut the thread, upholstered each piece and stitched it back together. I have a pic of the finished product but didn't take any process pics.

I think it all looks sick! I love the taillight setup, keep that updated, I want to watch and see the finished product. I like that you have it all planned out and drawn up, very detail oriented. Will defintely turn out well.

I have the boring gray interior also. I figured since the car is green then green headliner and hiftbot would add some contrast and I have a chrome shiftknob, pedals and gauge bezel so I'm going to do a chrome interior kit to spark it up a little more. The vision in my head says it should look...

My phone won't let me put a photo in my reply but let me upload it to the site so itsin the photos on here. I did my shift boot in the same material but I cut my hand recently and got blood all over it driving myself to get stitches so I have to pull it apart and redo it.

That looks good. I did mine in green velvet with a 3d triple diamond. First one I ever did. Was impressed with the result. Ill try to get a pic of it tommorrow.

Sold.

I live in springfield. I have an evo carbon fiber hood that I bought in february andnever put on my car. Made by vis, I took it out of the box long enough to take a picture that I can't upload from my phone. Wanting 350 firm. Can send pics via text. Pm me and ill be happy to send any photos...

Someone once told me strut mounts going bad could cause this. Don't know how much truth there is to it but may be worth a look.

You know, I never gave any thught to a 1g radiator, just figured a 2g since it would bolt right in. Ill have to look in to that possibility. Thanks

That's what I was thinking, just wanted to clarify before investing in a turbo radiator. I've looked at my hoses and believe even the lower can be modified easily enough. Thanks for the help and clarification guys, I appreciate it

Quick question. Turbo to non turbo 2g radiators, is the only exterior difference hose placement? I know the auto has tranny cooler lines also but I'm manual so that don't concern me. I ask because I have a small crack at the top of my radiator and need to replace it and was wanting to upgrade to...

Yea no matter what I'm definately getting wideband. Ill have a total of six gauges,boost,wideband and fuel pressure I'm getting in the spring, oil pressure , temp nd voltage I have now. Got those for free located where the radio used to be. The other three will be pillar mounted

Great thanks a lot guys. I appreciate the replies. Ill keep my eye on 2gnt and try n catch one at a time I can afford it and avoid the band aid hopefully. Thanks again.

Ok so here's my question. Its probly been answered many times, I just can't find a direct answer for it so if its been ansawered I apologize. Planning to turbo in the spring and want to know what tuning to use if I can't afford megasquirt. My setup will be 7 psi on stock internals, and I know...

Yea through the course of this I have begun considering some form of cover for the gauges. Though they mostly steal items they can ditch real quick at pawn shops for drug money assuming, I'm considering mybe recessing the gauges and having. Tinted panel in front of them. The gauges are black...

That would be funny. Wonder if rather than 12 volts configure maybe a spark plug in the mix like they use for flame thrower set ups. Got hit by a plug once, quite a jolt.

I get the safety issue of reaching across the car, but I can cotrl volume and song sellection from my ipod, which will sit in the console. Earbuds just aren't loud enough for for me. Around here they want radios, they'd have no interest in gauges. Plus the gauges are all black when off, on a...

My airbags are non working due to changing my stock wheel out.but I guess its ok to compliment others who put gauges where the airbag was and bash someone who tries to be unique and different. Maybe if everyone just left their car the same plain jane boring every other person has one car then...

I agree I do need a nicer neighborhood, trying to make that happen, but even the nice neighborhoods have break ins here. My parents live on a real nice end of town and moms car has been broke into a few times. An alarm is in the works along with keyless entry. I don't have an amp now, that will...

Ok so in the past month and a half I've had my car broke into twice and my radio stolen. I've pondered solutions and have finally come up with my next project. Its probably been done 100 times but its new for me. Ill be installing my radio under the passenger airbag cover and constructing a...

I had the same issue happen with my 95 gs and it was the bracketon the tranny that the shift cables clips on had come loose. Tightened it down and all was good. May help may not. Hope it all works out

Its all priority and money management dude. Simple as that. I work a 12 buck an hour job,run my 4 person household (wife me n 2 young kids), I'm the only income and sometimes there's money to buy a new part,sometimes there isn't. That's life. Suck it up and be happy with what you do have because...

I have a pair of fenders in pretty good shape off my 95 if you don't mind green. Can't negotiate selling here so pm me if you want and we'll see what we can do.

Yea thats the route im gonna go. Ill post photos when I'm done. Before and after. Just got the paint and material so ill try and get to it over the weekend.

For those who are changing interior stuff, whats everyone doin with the ebrake? Im doing some minor changing on my interior and would love to have my ebrake boot and handle match my shifter but far as I can tell its all one piece. Or am I mistaken?

I agree. It'll look ok on the exhaust tip but I wouldnt do it on a larger surface. I'm probably being over picky anyway, just want something besides chrome or just plain black. Nobody would notice I doubt, just a mental thing for me.

Thanks for the different options guys. I'll probably just end up using duplicolor high temp paint. Have used it in the past on my cousins 402 when we rebuilt it and it looked good and held up nice. Good to know I have other options though.Speaking of the plasti dip, he has a video of how to...

Yea my next option was going to bee high temp paint. Just trying to get rid of any and all "chrome" looking parts on the outside. High temp black it will be then. Thanks a lot guys. I appreciate it.

About two years ago in my current car I was out with my wife and kids and saw my parents pulled over by a cop in the park with my mom leaned up against my dads car "assuming the position". I have my mothers loud mouth and lack of restraint so I assume the worst, find a side street and whip my...

Long overdue update guys. Almost 1100 miles later and clutch and throwout bearing are both still going strong. Have done some speed shifts and power shifts just to kinda torment it a bit and it handled it all no problem. Still shifts smooth and feels great.

Quick question. I've had my exhaust on for a few years now and the stainless tip I'd like to change. I have some carbon fiber vinyl left over from a previous project and thought of wrapping the tip with it. I'ts 3m vinyl, anyone know if it will be ok heat wise? I think it will be just looking...

Man that exhaust is awesome! Glad to see some more progress. I think your followers are about as stoked as you are to see it mobile. Keep up the great work.

Ive been running that exact same exhaust on my car for almost 3 years now. Not one single problem. Looks good, sounds awesome, real nice deep tone. Cant beat it for the price. Very minor issues fitment wise during install, but nothing major. On mine it was a little tough getting the header to...

when I bought my 95 gs it only had one fan with no a/c. I bought the second fan and wired it to a switch and relay just for extra cooling at the track. Never had any overheating issues before putting it in and still don't, run it anyway on real hot days just to do so, not because its needed. Got...

Dig the dash man. Will look sweet once the gauges and such are in place. Also the grenade shifter is the bomb! Lol. Stupid humor but really lookin good bro. Also congrats on graduating. Hope the job offer works out for ya too.

has anyone tried a 06-12 eclipse hatch cover in a 2G? From glancing at the two I see similarities and considered trying one as I found one cheaper than I can find a 2G one for. Was just curious if anyone had tried this and if so what kind of roadblocks they hit.

Hey zfdesignz when it warms up and you bring your baby out well have to get together.

I have a drift bumper for a 95-99 thatappears to use 97-99 headlights. I have a 95 ga, was going to order 97 headlights before reading this. Now I'm curious does anyone else know if they'd work or not or am I just taking a shot in the dark?

Did a clutch job almost 500 miles ago (478 currently to be exact). Got an xtd stage 1clutch off eBay for $185 shipped. This particular clutch is the modular design and came with a new throwout bearing. My throwout bearing is what went bad to begin with I just figured I had it apart I'd go ahead...

I did the clutch on my 95 almost 500 miles ago and when I had it in the air noticed my lower balljoint was bad so I replaced that arm. I had to cut the bolt off as it was seized to the sleeve. Went and bought a couple bolts and that was that. I fought it for quite a while before realizing it was...

Just to throw this out there a new walbro 255 on eBay $100. That being said I'm looking foward to seeing this build. EBay gets a bad Rep alot and I personally shop eBay all the time so I think this is awesome. Good luck man. Props to you

I think it looks awesome man. Different, unique, and stylish. I personally think your whole car looks really good. Show AND go. Nice to see both in one package.

Yea definately put the education first. That'll set the way for the funds to roll in. I keep checking to see if there's anything new brewing and will continue to do so.

I know your looking on the cheap so just to put a bug in your ear. On eBay you can get drilled and slotted rotors front and rear with pads for $130. Some may argue the quality on a long term but it is pretty cheap. Just throwing a possible alternative to junk yard parts that could possibly give...
