I recently used the same clutch kit from autozone myself. You might want to check the throw out bearing they break very easy on that crap stock clutch from autozone trust me I went through 6 before I finally ordered a aftermarket one. It may suck but take the tranny back out and check the throw...

I definetly agree with jason on this subject bud. Enless you have a ton of money to throw around all at once. Then by all means build your motor. If you don't, like us pay check to pay check guys. Go get a motor from a junkyard and get a decent stand and just build it little by little and keep...

I agree, double check your connectors. Sorry I haven't been able to post the specific wire colors I'm having trouble locating my book. Google tells me nothing so I'll keep looking for my book.

Nice! I used to live in SD before I moved to Arizona, looks like I'm coming home just so I can get some work done from you once your feeling better. I wish you a speedy recovery, and hope all is uphill from here.

I know the wires are set as 1/4trigger, 2/3trigger, and the common ground. I can't remember what colors are which though. I'm gonna look it up for you real fast.

If your getting 12 volts from the coil. You should be transfering power to the plugs... Did you replace the plug wires as well? Also check the Automatic Shutdown (ASD) relay. The Engine Computer turns the relay on when it gets pulses from the cam and crank sensors. So, check for voltage at the...

Very nice. Good run. Keep up the awesome work. Hope I can make it to the shootout.

I cut the old fabric off carefully. So I could measure how much I was going to need. I left myself 2 inches on each end extra in fabric. basically you have to tuck each side in the teeth carfully so you don't break the teeth that hold the fabric inside the visor. once the fabric is tight enough...

The visors are a PIA. They are factory melted through the entire visor. Like little plastic welds lol. Just letting you know what your getting into. Id say it took about 20 each visor for mine.

Very nice! I have a White Eclipse myself. I've been thinking about doing a carbon hood myself. I think I might just do it now. Clean looking ride man. Grats. :hellyeah:

lol, that's funny I just posted here thinking it was a legit current post. Crap, now my post is useless. Delete if you'd like IDC lol.

I would do a pearl black with a gold flake that would look nice.

I agree. I would fiberglass it. It's actually really easy. I recently did both of my fenders to repair cracks and chunks missing. It's also pretty cheap DIY. You can go to Home Depot even to get a repair kit. :thumb:

If it's a manual there isn't a dip stick on the transmission. There is a bolt however where you can remove to check fluid. It's a 17mm bolt on the front of the transmission, mid-left, near the bottom of the coolant overflow bottle. You can use a 1 qt bottle attachment to fill it. The attachement...

The worst car cancer I have ever seen is out here in Arizona. I used to live in Cali, and I used to think it was bad out there. Once I got to Arizona I noticed way more cars Black, Red, you name it other than White. It had the cancer. It's crazy you'd think people would come up with a better...

Does anybody have a set of aftermarket rims with decent tires that would fit my 97 Eclipse GS. I would like them to be around stock 16inch stock size.

lmao +1. Hey guess what three of us so far have +1 ^ which = 3 OMG

Thanks, I can't wait to get more done to it. I'm excited for this weekend. I'll post more pics once I do more.

LMAO...Wow

I've done the garden hose thing for years. It's way cheaper to do anything yourself no matter what it is. Yes it's true about minerals and not to mention hardness of the water. I've always taken that into consideration. I've always done a flush with the motor running while using a garden hose, I...

I'm thinking of doing the Valve Cover in a yellow with a metal flake to it. I've got a few coats of the high heat white on there atm but I'm thinking I'm going to do a couple more coats before I actually put expensive paint on it. I wont be doing that till I yank the motor out in a few weeks...

I tried the 3m its ok it just doesn't stick as good.

I got the headliner fabric at walmart surprisingly its knock off silk its very nice. When putting the fabric down becareful not to wrinkle or stretch the fabric. Start from on side and work your way out. This will reduce wrinkles. Make sure.you have enough fabric too not to muxh overlay around...

I agree with the beer in hand moto and would like to add hooka burning so as too puff and ponder. Lmao

Very nice build. Hope to see more updates on the car.

Thanks foor the tips. Was the first time with door panel inserts. It came out better than I thought though. I never did anything with the letters on vc that's the original machine finish. All I did was use masking tape on the entire vc letters yes even the period lol it was a PIA. Maybe I could...

Bad Ass...enough said.

Awesome glad to see a few comments. Here's a few answers to some questions. The paint cost is a bit expensive pearl black with a gold flake, but the putting it on is no big deal. As for the coolant level the other side which I should of posted but looks tacky is not painted in about an inch or...

I agree I think you should go with the first option and just paint it all. It looks cleaner anyway. The other options make it look like it's missing something. Good luck either way you choose.

I recently did a little work on my car spicing things up. I've done the valve cover, heat shield, coolant reservoir, headliner, and door panels.Valve Cover Before:Valve Cover After:Heat Shield / VC:Reservoir Before:Reservoir After:Headliner Before:Headliner After...

Well I finished my project for the week, I installed new fabric to the headliner, new fabric to the door panels, replaced Valve cover gasket, new plugs and gave the valve cover, heat shield and coolant reservoir a new coat of paint. So overall I'm pretty happy with the work I've done. I took...

lol, Thanks appreciate your cents. I'll look into those suggested parts. As to everyone here I may be in the newbie section but I'm not trying to throw a ton of money at this car in performance because I know it's limits which are slim, just simple stuff because I'm just looking more towards...

I agree sounds to be a waterpump blockage. I would change out the waterpump and do a system flush to clear any extra debri left behind. You might want to do your timing belt enless you think it's fine or have changed it recently anyway.

Ya those are on my list as basic. If I do the water pump I'm going to be doing the timing belt so thats a given. Any simple mods I can add that are cheap? The car is completely bone stock so... nothing added not even cold air or short ram induction. lol. Just kinda looking for some ideas as what...

I'm going to be pulling my engine out of my car this weekend. I've never pulled a 420A so I'm pretty excited as to what I'll find and can fix. I know I have a small oil leak from Valve cover so I'm going to be fixing that, anything extra I should look for or that I could modify while I have my...

Very nice, waxing your own car gives you a little something extra. Way better feeling of accomplishment then taking it to a car wash and paying them to do it. Very nice, looks good bud. :hellyeah:

If your looking for good fenders to spice up your car or just a replacement fender. I would check out AndysAutoSport.com they have a bunch of different brands for our cars and styles. There is quite a few that are cheap but good, at around $50 a fender. As for getting them pre-painted, I'm not...

I like the idea of protecting the intercooler, the appearance looks good too. Have you considered putting that cheap thin mesh on the bumper as well to give it another barrier to go through first? Good job though looks cool. :hellyeah:

Believe it or not, I ordered mine off of amazon when I was doing my skirts on my mustang and the eclipse I have. I was able to find the 30 clips for just around $22 a set, its been awhile since of gotten them but check out Amazon.com, Ebay.com and even search around your local Auto-zone. If I...

Just started painting my car matte white, from factory white. So far I've done the front fenders and the front bumper. I think my car looks 10x more sexy just with that done. lol :hellyeah:

Hello,My name is Richard I recently bought a 97 Eclipse GS Bone Stock. I've had it about 4 months now and I've already replaced so many things on it. It was in bad shape (Poor Thing). I used to work for Toyota and I've always been in mechanics. I love anything with wheels, I hope I can get...

I know I'm new but for the sake of posting and for adding encourgment. I reccomend you learn to do the rebuild yourself, and save your money for parts. Best of luck with whatever descision you make. :hellyeah:
