I just want to see this thing going, I read through it all and it seemed like you were gonna have it moving like today and then something else showed up for you, good luck
went and got the s3 on friday and this thing is amazing, i have never seen an android so good before as stock, compared to the iphone 4s i think it wins but the iphone 5 coming out may have some better stuff
i would say jeep is a good way to go, very very very easy to work on, after an engine and 6 transmissions i should know, have a cherokee and a wrangler, top down doors off toss the windshield down on the wrangler, cherokee is good for camping
i drove my brothers 95 honda civic from here to pittsburgh a few times last year (around 200 miles round trip) it was very nice on the highway and easy to control but in pittsburgh i had the smallest car on the streets and trucks couldnt see me,nice on gas though
how bad does the damage seem though? im ok with replacing both fenders and the hood and stuff if i have to but does it seem like i could mostly just put new stuff on? or will nothing line up correctly?
so i found this post on craigslist, it says it runs fine and has 177k miles for a 1999 eclipse, i wanted to know if it looks like something i should pick up as i am looking for an eclipse, does the front damage look like it would have affected more than just replaceing body parts or should i be...
In a few weeks i am looking for a 95-99 mitsubishi eclipse any trim level and auto or stick doesnt matter
has to have
working transmission
good enough engine that runs and doesnt knock but some work is fine
no major body tweeking dents caused by an accidentrust is fine
dents are fine...
for all you iphone users, im on my 4th gen ipod touch right now and i have t-mobile which doesnt even carry the iphone, buy im getting the best from both worlds
Just here to say that putting a manual in a car that was made for an automatic is as easy as unbolting the old out and bolting the new in, theres much more to it and usually easier to just get a different car that is a manual
if you are looking for horse power and as a daily driver, the gst starts out with more anyway and the non turbo will cost a little but from your pocket, (not saying it cant be done)
how about how to check most of these problems,
for the water pump, unhook the hoose that goes to from the pump to the radiator and aim it in a bucket then turn the car on, if it does what the pump is supposed to then you may end up with wet feetHead gasket, check for oil spills all...
i honestly do not like huge spoilers, i like the one big stock one for eclipse that might be for the gsx because its just a big loop not like a 2x4 held on by hockey sticks
hey if anyone here can find a 95-99 eclipse for under $1,000 that has a working transmission and the engine runs, even if that needs a little work as long as it drives, the body just needs to be ok, not sure about strut stuff, im good with body workauto or stick
any trim from rs to gsx dont...
try making sure that the screw or whatever is set or that the window stays on the track, if one window wont go up sometimes that would be it but none idk, i used to have to pull my window back and then hit the switch then pull it again till it would go up, pita, why not go back to none power...
you may have more than one problem, for over heating make sure you check the cheap things like the thermastat and water pump and stuff, for power loss it could be a number of things, idk kind of guessing but maybe fuel pump, thats what happened to one of my cars
Im looking for someone who has one but can hold on to it for a little while till i have enough to get it and if anyone has a 95 with a 420a automatic for parts, that would help insteadErie PA 16508 area
So i found this listing on craigslist
"Need to sell my Eclipse as fast as possible. Preferably within a week. I'm asking 1000 or best offer. It does not run at the moment, the fuel pump will not energize for some reason that I can't figure out. I'm not good with that kind of stuff so if you...
buy lighter wheels, and remember alluminum and steel are heavier than rubber
you may love big rims and skinny tires but light weight 14-maybe16" rims are lighter,
if you have money carbon fiber hood and hatch and put in that specific glass for the rear window
that high mileage is a bit risky,
i have seen cars that work fine and reach up their and then everything needs replaced because they are so worn out, even with no rust expect to have to buy a lot of little things
like how my rear view mirror falls of every 500 miles?
it sits in the back seat now
Soooo i called the guy today to get his address and he said he sold the car to someone last night who showed up with $500 cash,even tho i said i would be there tomorrow with $600:(
Want an eclipse so bad
Decided im not going to get it because by the time i get the engine and customize with all the stuff i want to where im ready to install it it will be the middle of winter and pa+winter+motor install=no garage and frost bite so i would wait till spring.
so if i wont even...
Forget the no engine rs,Im picking up a 98 eclipse that runs and drives but overheats,
the guy said it was the water pump but all jeeps i have touched needed new thermostats.if it is the water pump how hard is that to fix?
a quick google search said they cost like $60-$80??the car...
So a rod knock is a spun bearing?
Ive taken a jeep with a spun bearing and put in a new motor with parts from the old and that has been on the road for two years,i dont want a turbo engine because of the maintanence and because of the horsepower,
that and i have found parts cars with running...
I found this posting on craiglist"2.0 mits. engine. rod knock. car ran great but lost oil due to leak. many parts on engine still good head,starter,intake,throttle body,injectors,alternator,engine control module. will sell all or part out. also have new brake parts drums shoes new timing...
To start get rid of the 07 jeep and buy a 98 cherokee or 01 wrangler,
no just kidding but look into where you want a 92 tsi to go and build accordingly whether its to be fuel efficent or more hp
I wanted to know what parts everyone would recomend to others and what brands, where to find them and for what price would help too,
I know some people like parts such as megan headers and cower 2 camshaftsParts for 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS 420A
I need to know what kind of prices can be found for a 420a engine 1996 eclipse.
How much for fully built
How much for short block
How much for long block
How much to buy stuff seperate like the block and the cylinder and shafts an pistons and stuffI just could use a little info on wht...
im looking at buying a 96 eclipse that had a 420a and they were going to swap it for a turbo but never put a turbo in it, im doing a little reseach in case they started a swap and changed the wire harness and put in a turbo trans, to see if im going to just replace the stock motor or finish the swap
I didnt know what any of these were called so my searching was difficult
I need to know if a transmission from a stock 420A motor would work with one of the turbos or anything in the campatible depertment
I have worked on plenty of projects for my age including an engine swap when i was real little and putting an 04 block with 01 stuff on it for a jeep 2 years ago, around here you never see eclipse or talon go for less than $3000.
im mostly looking for a project i can do in summer when im not...
i was kind off looking for a non turbo and i have wanted a eclipse for years
but i dont really like 1gs, the paint is black and dusty but i was gonna use a air sprayer and automotive paint to paint it different (see how well it works with my air tank and quallity of paint)
around here even 95...
