Hello,I have a 99 Eclipse currently tuned for running 91 Octane. Everything included, she dyno'd at about 380HP 550 CC Fuel Injectors EVO III 16 big turbo at around 28 pounds of boostAnyways, I am JUST outside of emissions for my state, and my mechanic suggested running a mix of E85 and...

Appreciate the feedbackI would think inner tie rods as well as the boots. If I am gonna get in there, might as well do it all right? How big a project we talking here? A weekend? A month? Would I need a lift or could I get away with just a jack and stands? Ive never worked on these systems for...

99 GST Spyder I recently had a ball joint give out, resulting in my cv axle and wheel basically coming apartI got it into the shop, fixed it up They mentioned the tie rods had some play The issue was that, at least for sources they were willing to use, they couldn't find tie rods, and would...

My idle is fine during warmupThe only idle issue I have is surging when the engine is hot and I get stuck in stop-and-go traffic I think thats due to my throttle cable needing adjustment

Yes, thats what im referring toHmmmSo I dont need to worry about it? Should I put a cap on it?If, for whatever reason, the PO didnt block/loop it, or at least not properly, what symptoms would there be?I do have idle surging when the engine is hot, and I get stuck in stop and go traffic...

And should it be hooked up, or should I get a seal on itIts the piece dead-center of the image, slightly outta focus Here is another image to help get a reference of where this is exactlyThanks for any info! If you need anything else to answer, just let me know

Think I simply need a new throttle cable then?

I actually haventIll have to look that up, not sure how much work that isIm not particularly adept at wiring

Forgive the oncoming wall of text- im trying to provide all the details of the quirks surrounding this behaviourSo ive had the car for over 6 years, and to my memory this surge behaviour has always been there, BUT, since up until recently I never worked a "traditional" job (was Military...

Ive just not touched it due to previous SEVERE overheating issues leaving me paranoid about even the slightest increase in my heat gauge

Project may have been the wrong termMore small tasksYeah, primarily just cleanin up the engine bay of unnecessary clutter

I dI do have a Mishimoto front mount intercoolerBoth radiator fans are brand new and functionDo you see any issue with removing the AC compressor?

Hello everybody,Ive got a 2g DSM GST-Spyder thats both a daily, but also a project (Thankfully she has been fairly reliable over the course of my ownership)While ive not really done anything major other than keeping up with maintenance over the last 6 years, ive started considering doing the...

Hey there folks, so im in a bit of a bind right now, as my car is in desperate need of a tune, yet nobody can seem to actually access my ECU Here is what I knowThe car had a NEW factory ECU installed, and as far as im aware, no aftermarket tune was done to it The car seemed to drive fine as it...

That LOOKS like the stuff I used Was putting it on with a buddy and he was saying the same thingThe only thing is NOW, the cap is covered in that crap I could keep layering it, I suppose But its ugly af, and id rather replace

The cap to my coolant overflow tank is slightly cracked Not critically, but, when the engine starts getting hot (normal hot) the pressure causes coolant to spray out of the crack instead of cycling back into the radiatorI used some bonding stuff to cover it up and seal it, and it held for a...

Sorry, bit of a noob here Can anyone tell me if 98 parts work on a 99 2g? At least in terms of bumpers and this panel?

These are the pictures the shop sent me

Thank you, I just messaged him as well as the other partouts you listed.Im not very experienced in this field so I am not 100% sure what works with what, but I BELIEVE that a 2g is very similar in terms of body parts and compatability, regardless if 98 or 99. Correct me if I am wrong.

My car is a 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST Spyder

Hello there, im here as recently I was rear-ended while at a red light. Didn't seem to bad, but upon taking it into a shop and pulling the rear bumper off, it appears that the "rear body panel" which is welded onto the frame itself was completely destroyed.The issue is: A- Being unable to...

If only it was so simply. Ill check, but I doubt its anything that easy.And to the others above, ill google Throw Out Bearing. Hopefully its something that can be done by hand, I'm trying to avoid shops as much as possible to force myself to become technical, and also to save that $$$...

TOB? I need to learn the car lingo hahaAnd just to clarify to make sure I'm not stupid, when people say "motor mounts" that is the same as engine mounts, yes? I had the engine mounts checked and tightened due to another issue that is popping upI took the car into the dealership for a basic...

Thanks for the quick response! My car is FWD.When I shift poorly the car vibrates as the transmission is engaging, but I believe that's normal for manuals due to mismatched rpms, yes? Its been like that from the start.

Hello! I am new to these Forums, but I have been "working" on my 99 Eclipse and I figured this would be a great place for assistance, tips, and other support. I put working in quotation marks as I got the car as is, with all the upgrades already installed, and have been not so much putting...
