planning on possibly installing a stage 1 or 2 camshaft in my 420a. a family member has a friend that just sold his car and has a set he never got around to installing still that he said i could have . Thing is, i cant seem to find any sort of guide or video anywhere on how to do it.it...

So, i havent been all that active on the forums as of late due to me moving back to my home town. My new place happens to have a 2 car garage so i can finally do work on my car. Well, i got off work early yesterday and decided to finish up installing the last of my full exhaust by installing the...

Perfect! Thanks for the link... I love reading through guides =) the engine was rebuilt 26k miles ago so there is a chance they didnt tighten it down properly... Also, i didnt see and squeeze out of silicone anywhere. Normally you can find some somewhere if they used it. Ill look into it...

Ah ok. I do have a small amount of oil the the top of my valve cover. Guess its time to replace the gasket.

hey there. hoping someone can help me out with this. i noticed a small puddle of oil building up on the heat shield for my headers a while back but as i had just set the oil cap there, thought maybe that was it and just cleaned it up, but now its back. it seems to be leaking from the pipe that...

Hmm, doesn't seem hard to make. Has anyone tried adapting the 2g sliders and bracket to just mount to the recaro seat? I dont know hoe the sliders attach to the recaro's but it looks easy to take the 2g ones off at least

Can any one post a pic of just the wedge brackets? I have a pair of evo ix seats sitting in my dads garage that i may try and put in, but i would like to try making brackets on my own first. Thanks!

Is the downpipe still up for grabs? Would it work for a normal t3/t4 turbo or is it made just for your hybrid? I may add on another item or two if that is still available.

Alright, i took your advice and ordered some proper headlights. How much do you think i could get out of my semi beat up 2ga projector headlights with one burnt out halo?

lol alright, guess i will need to get rid of these projectors i bought.

What are the benefits of the larger bore? Just curious...

Alright, so i have a 2gb bumper on the way, however i have 2ga headlights (projector) i know they dont fit together so dont go flaming on about that. I know that the 2gb bumper can fit in front of the extra piece of the 2ga headlight, but what im wondering is, how well does it mount when...

I've heard of people using the 2ga lights on a 2gb bumper , the bumper just overlaps. Will the bumper still mount correctly if its overlapping the lights? If anyone had pics that would be great!

Awesome. luv2rallye, you have been a huge help through all this.

Ok, i brought my car in to have my exhaust installed and they let me tinker under my car a bit while it was on the lift. They double checked for me but all the cv axles and ball joints are all good. No play in them and all the boots are still solid. Unfortunately i still couldnt check the...

Well, like normal washington weather, it decided it was going to rain last night so i couldnt check my wheel bearing. Going to have to try for monday. I really hope its just that wheel hub, would make my life much nicer to be able to go the speed limit up in the 70 zone without feeling like...

Lol well it will be better than what i have! And if it only lasts a year, then i will just have to replace it again. Its not too difficult. I plan on getting a little bit more expensive one... That was just one that popped up on an ebay search.Edit: just found that same hub i posted and it...

No im pretty sure its 2g. I juat did a quick google search and it came up with thisAlso i would like to thank every one for all the help you provide. Even if it may not solve the problem, it helps eliminate one more option of what it could be. Oh... And now im a proven member here...

Alright, well im heading to a buddies house tomorrow so ill use his jack and see if i can get the wheel to shake at all by hand. I need to replace both sides at the same time yes? Im not worried as the whole bearing assembly brand new is only like 35 per side

K, my third time trying to type this. My phone keeps screwing up and losing it all. Dealer said recall was done in 02 but checked them for me to make sure. They showed me and they were rip and tear free and actually had very little dirt on them for being ten years old. They did say the...

Hey guys its been kinda a long week and i havent had a chance to check my axles yet, however i did think of something that i thought i should ask about this shaking. There is a strong possibility that the wheel bearing is going out on the rear driver side. It makes a nice squealing noise...

It clunks over bumps... Bad... Almost feels like there isnt any suspension

Well rotating the tires is easy and free so ill try that. It will have to wait until the same time i can check the cv axles though. I need more frequent access to a jack =)

Yeah i figured it was the cv axle at this point. Im gonna try and check it this weekend.

Well when i try to see if the clutch helps then yes... I still have the gas pushed down. Otherwise the shaking has already stopped and i wouldnt be able to tell

Alright guys, sorry for not updating. No signal at my parents house and i just got home. The car shook going 70 in fourth so its not just fifth gear. Now... How bad is suspension on these cars? Went over a speed bump and it was rough. Any ways, how do i check my bushings? The ride height...

Alright, i will check. By the way, when i said the wheel kicked back, i didnt mean it just turned back, i mean it KICKED back, almost like something is binding

Lol kinda funny. So... I am missing a stud on the driver side front tire. Yes a whole stud. I got it that way. As long as the other 4 lugs are tight it shouldnt cause a problem should it?Ok more info... I found that as i try and turn at low speeds, occasionally the steering wheel tries to...

Ok, i will try it in fourth. Guess ill take the long way home so i can get on the freeway =) guess ill post around 6-6:30 pst and let you know

The clutch isnt "hard" to push in... I just tend to skyrocket the rpms when i try... Sorry for the confusion there. Unnecessary info i suppose =/ thats what i get for typing at 2 in the morning.

Alright, so only when i am in fifth gear and accelerating, the car starts to shake... It feels like the whole thing . I have barely got the car over 3k rpms in fifth because im afraid of the shake, but all other gears or completely fine. Any idea what this might be? It stops shaking as...

Sweet guys. Thanks for all the responses! My fiance hates when i get it past 4k rpms because the muffler is raspy as hell (its stock i think) but, after a few different problems with a seller i have a cat back on its way that should help a little. On a side not... My car now has both side...

Alright, kinda feel like a noob asking but, i have a stock 96 gs n/t and i usually shift around 3-4k rpms depending on how im driving, thing is... I do occasionally like my spirited driving but this is the first manual car that ive owned so i dont know how far i can push it without blowing...

You may have raised this thread from the dead, and but thanks! I have been trying to figure out why those wires were unplugged in my car but didn't know how to even begin searching up on it.

Alright, ill pick some up tomorrow and try spraying it a little. The wd40 on the cable didnt do anything. Still a good idea though. Im getting the oil changed tomorrow so ill run and grab a can of throttle body cleaner then and hopefully ill be swapping out some of the power steering fluid...

Ill spray the cable and see... I dont have cruise control so thats not the issue. Would it be ok to spray a small amount of TB cleaner inside my throttle body while its still installed?

Hey guys, i searched but only came up with people having problems with boosted cars. I recently purchased a 96 eclipse gs and noticed that if i rev the engine while in neutral, it takes it a second before it revs down. While driving it doesnt have this problem at all... Any ideas? I though...

Alright, i bought my car without a passenger mirror and just happened to pick one up on ebay for cheap. Problem is, the mounting bracket on the door is bent. Not bad but i need to straighten it out. Any way to remove it? I dont mind removing the door panel if need be.Now, another...

I dont see the difference...

This is what was sent to me including the picture, and most people seem to say it works well as long as it fits ( may cause some fitment issues as it pushes the o2 sensor out a bit)

Someone told me about the spark plug anti foul trick. Lemme see if i can find it and copy paste it here

Free bump since i just ordered the exact same thing and have the same question.

Oh, you maka da sense now... Thanks for that :)

Lol i love the drawing. What is this going to accomplish though?

I apologize, but what is a DTC?Never mind, i found it.

Isnt the downstream sensor just for letting me know if my cat is functioning properly? As far as i know, it has no effect on the air/fuel ratio

I'm not sure if the cat is stock, im almost positive the muffler is after market, though a very basic one...i do plan on putting a full exhaust on it though including a test pipe. It will still have an o2 bung but... I'm pretty sure it will set the code off a lot though. I didn't really...

Hey guys, this is my first post on here. I did some searching but couldn't find any info except where the o2 sensor plug is located.So, the problem... I just bought my car a week ago and it seems to run pretty well (besides the crappy acceleration) but the CEL light keeps kicking on...
