I’ve recently seen a 99 GSX for sale and would like to acquire it. The owner says the car must be towed because of a bad transmission, but the engine still runs. The bad part is that the car cannot go forward or reverse not even an inch. He claims it might be the transmission fork. I would like...
I agree with Pat White and kmetiuk. Try cleaning the battery terminals and brushed the power lead and ground wires (or cut 1 inch off) because they get corroded due to age. It happened to my Accord exactly the way how you explained it. Thought it was the alternator, had it checked at AutoZone...
It depends on each state, but whenever an emission is required, it requires a cat because that's the vital part that eliminates/lowers most of the harmful chemicals that the engine emits. I just went through a few smog check stations where I live and they are pretty strict. The visual inspection...
There are two power steering pumps for Toyota MR 2 generation: One is from a 1991-1995 MR 2 which requires the steering pump & sensor, steering pump ecu & driver, relay and wire harnesses which all cost about $300-500. The other one is from a 2000-2005 which requires only the power steering...

Yes, you can delete that black charcoal canister and related Evap. system; it serves no purpose except for emission control and it is designed to recycle or burn unused gasoline vapors instead of allowing them to escape into the atmosphere from the fuel system. Once deleted, cap off all vacuum...
Your engine bay would look much cleaner without the AC, PS and Evap. If you don't mind hard steering or cool AC in hot days then delete to your liking. The Evap canister behind the passenger headlight can be removed along with the EGR valve and other related components if you're not worried...
It might be your alternator (voltage regulator) about to go bad. Mine has been acting weird for a week before it almost gave up on me on the road. On the last day, the battery warning light and CEL came on if I gave a little gas. Sometimes if I gave a little gas it would stall and die, and other...
I used to have a 95 Accord EX. When my spark plug wires went bad I couldn't step on the gas hard otherwise it would sputter and slow down the car. I would press on the gas pedal lightly and it took about 10-20 seconds to reach 40 mph or sometimes 50 mph, but no more that.Another episode I had...
Average price of a 2g AWD is around $3-4k depending on the condition of the car. The supporting mods of this car are about $1k, so I would negotiate at $3,500 up to $4,000 max.
I'm glad you two are reunited. Back then it was in style and now it's your taste/choice of keeping the way you like it because you own it. It's just a trend that makes everyone go with the crowd, so currently everyone is into stock body, but I'm not :). By the way I like your hood...
My 2g Eclipse keeps on fogging up every time the engine reaches warm temperature even during warm days, but worst on cold days that I cannot see in front of me at night and have to constantly wiping the windshield. I've purchased the car this way. I believe that the original owner might have...
Test the alternator by unplugging the battery negative cable while the engine is running. If the car dies then it's a bad alternator. If the car engine is still running while the negative cable is disconnected then it's not the alternator and might be a low charge or bad battery. It happened...
Welcome to the DSM world. If you have limited cash, then get a wideband and boost gauge first to monitor your air/fuel and boost, respectively. With stock boost you're not going to get more horsepower. Next get a manual boost controller to turn up your boost. With stock injectors and Ecu you can...
The EGR is located on the left hand side of the intake manifold. You can use a small hose to connect the two nipples to each other or if you want to remove the EGR, you can buy a EGR block-off plate to cover the EGR valve. See below for instructions on where's the EGR located and what's needed...
That's the charcoal canister. You can remove the whole canister if you like or block off the hoses using the right size bolt to cover the hoses to stop dirt, debris, etc. getting in.
I fell in love with a Spyder during a car show in Los Angeles, so I purchased a 99 GST Spyder in 2000 with a stock turbo and was going to upgrade to a bigger turbo. Back then every part was so expensive, so I didn't buy any performance parts, except an air filter. Three years ago, I bought a Evo...
Yes, there's a difference in size; it's a tad bigger, but still fits if you change to an Evo 10 rear rotor. If you're using Evo 8/9 calipers then you must use Evo 8/9 rotors and vice-versa for Evo 10 calipers.Read if you need additional info...
Nice ride & very clean. I bought one, a white 99 gst Spyder, back in 2000. I adore the car as much as you do, but back then every performance part was so expensive, therefore I didn't upgrade much beside a HKS blowoff valve and 2100 ACT clutch. Now I pass it down to my son and he cannot wait to...
