It seems the design is for the sleeve to rotate in the bushing, so I just slide the sleeve out, put the grease into the channels in the bushing and slide the sleeve back in. Way easier than the original install.

I know this thread was posted a while ago, but I'll give my opinion. I installed the full prothane polyurethane bushing kit on my 2G about two years ago I believe. Honestly the nvh wasn't super noticeable. What is noticeable is the amount of noise they make if you don't grease them about once a...

I appreciate you guys and everything you do for the platform! Do you plan to support any more modern platforms?

Unsure if I've ever really got the rears hot enough to warrant upgrading them to the vented setup. You should be able to swap them to a GST with calipers, rotors, and pads without trouble.I have a 3G master cylinder and brake booster and outlander front brakes and I'm happy with the setup...

Unsure if this is the correct one. I searched a while ago and this is what I ended up digging up...

I used Prothane 13-505-BL in the front and back. I drilled into the motor mount brackets that attach to the trans and enlarged the holes for bigger bolts to fill the 1G metal bushings.My brother used thicker thicker metal bushings that worked with the stock motor mount bolts with no...

Yeah I put the 1G ones in the front and rear of the 2G mounts so they're the full pieces. I didn't like the inserts.

I always noticed way more vibration in the interior with the driver's side motor mount converted to poly. My solution was to put 1G Prothane bushings in the front and back mounts of my 2G and OEM on the driver and passenger sides. It depends on the motor though. My brother's car with full poly...

I ordered them on Carparts.com!

I am also interested in seeing what other people have come up with. I've seen people change the switchpoint to dial it in and haven't had time to look at it, so hopefully someone can chime in with actual experience.

Have you boost leak tested it? Does the throttle hit the throttle stop on the back of the throttle body? Make sure all of the barbs and fittings on the intake manifold and throttle body are connected to something or capped. A boost leak test would also tell you, but you can spray some brake...

The coating thing is actually pretty legit. I talked to the company a few years ago when I built my motor. Shoot them an email if you aren't sold on it. I'll never build another motor without coated bearings! It's definitely not skimping.https://www.calicocoatings.com/bearings/

Send the bearings off to be coated. I got mine done at Calico Coatings in NC. They'll put special shells over the bearing surface that'll get it to where you need it. It worked for my car and my brother's car.

For anyone else looking, I just ordered EMPI 86-2222-D boots for about $2.50 each. Less than $13 to my door. You have to put in 97 model year or earlier. For some reason, 98 and 99 aren't included in the fitment database.

Hey guys. I've attempted searching for quite a while, so forgive me if I've missed it somewhere. Does anyone know of good aftermarket outer rear axle boots for a 2G AWD with LSD? I got Beck Arnley 103-2517 for the inner rear. Thanks!

Try another thermostat if you haven't already. I've gotten brand new ones bad out of the box. I was chasing an overheating issue for a while before realizing my thermostat wasn't opening all the way. I kept turning the heat on in the car to get it down.

I was after those too, but there's only one left! I might have to try going to an auto parts store to see what they can do .

I've been looking around for some rotors for a little while now. I suppose this means I'll have to look a little harder? I've seen some information about 4G rear rotors working and other information about certain years of VR4 rear rotors working, but I haven't been able to verify through my...

For future reference, a member on here called @LovinBoost sells the one piece metal ones and I've had nothing but great experiences with him or the gaskets.

I haven't taken it apart yet. I just decided to park it and wait to AWD swap it after I get married in April. The car can't move at all. It randomly decides when it wants to go into gear, whether it's off or on. It can't stay running without the clutch pushed in either. It also didn't want to...

It doesn't sound anything like this, right?https://photos.app.goo.gl/sVFhbxOf108cYyko2

You can! The drivetrain is the same.Check this link for more information. You can find other guides and answered questions elsewhere online too. Just put "2g dsm awd swap" into Google and you'll get tons of stuff...

My plug wires died right after I got my car. I replaced them with some ngks and it was a night and day difference.

I'm interested.

That is beyond crazy. NC is barely even cold right now.

You should keep it man. It'll be worth the trouble once you get it fixed. But whatever you do, don't cut corners. That'll just give you more headaches later on. Do things once and do them right. I know your pain, my car hasn't run in 3 months. Keep at it!

GSX is looking great man! Lol at that ricemobile. I can't believe it's actually real! I'm looking forward to future updates!

The person who did the rewire would have added the relay if they did it correctly. You should find it if you follow the wire.

That's awesome man! It reminds me of my story! Awesome car too. Keep it up!

Oh goodness. Did that happen on startup or while it was running?

It sounds like an injector issue to me as well. If you have ecmlink, you can go in and turn on and off injectors. See if that does anything if you have it.

Wow, that car is beautiful! Very nice!

Cayenne red is the best in my opinion.

Yep it definitely fits! You might have to get 4 little hardware store nuts and bolts to hold it on there better. That's what I'm doing. No fitment issues though.

I got one of these:Injen Technology X-1018-BB 4.5" AMSOIL Ea Nano-Fiber Black and Blue Air Filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001NF2VYY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_KJUayb6234TM8If you have Prime you get free two day shipping too. Great price and fantastic filtering. And it doesn't need oil, all you...

I had to do my first timing belt job 3 times. It's a learning experience! Snag one of those Continental belts off Amazon for $20. You can get it in two days with Prime. Good luck man! @Galipso

+1 on the oil pan bolts. Same thing happened to my dad's car. It put a groove right on the top of the belt. There are two bolts that are shorter than the rest and you have to put them in the spot below the timing belt.Check out 8:40 on this video by Jafro.

In addition to all the helpful comments these guys are posting, check this out to see what they look like and whatnot. I love the 2Gb Eclipse myself.http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/dsm-make-model-guide.476542/

If you scroll down a little, you'll see a picture of how it fits on this punishment racing fmic installation. He had the slim fans, but it shouldn't make a difference.http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/2ga-punishment-racing-fmic-install-and-guide.440986/

It clears the stock fans on my car. You shouldn't have any issues.
