After searching a couple months, I found a shop to get my engine work done. They do great work for a decent price, and more importantly they actually work on the car instead of letting it sit:http://eagleautomotivecenters.com/

The last thread looking for a shop in the NY/North Jersey area is 10+ years old. I'm looking for a shop to work on my 2g dsm, the shops I found from the previous post that are still active are:IveyTune http://www.iveytune.com/TPG Tuning https://tpgtuning.com/EsPec Power...

@1990TSIAWDTALON, no need to apologize, I greatly appreciate your help.

So it was a 1996 Saturn SL-2 alternator - had to shim it with a bunch of washers to make it work. Thank you for your input @1990TSIAWDTALON

Good evening fellow carnuts. So my alternator started blowing fuses the other day, I took a ride to advanced auto the stock replacement's bolt pattern looks different. The car is a 2g eclipse, with a six bolt swap. The previous owner re-located it with the jay racing kit, and the bolt pattern...

I assumed he was doing this to a dsm - that would have been wild

Here's a thread identifying plugs and connections, maybe it can help you track down what's wrong:https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/2g-engine-bay-electrical-connections.298047/

If it were me, I would start by measuring your car where you plan to mount these accessories, then research trucks with similar dimensions so you can get parts that are at least close. You won't find a direct fit and will need some pretty serious cutting and fabricating. Its going to take a lot...

That sucks, at least you have the small comfort that you're not missing races due to mechanical issues.

How's the Ice up there? We haven't been able to race at all in new york this season due to poor/weather ice conditions.

I'm a little confused as to whether this is a tech question or a build thread?

It could be leaking inside the car at the heater core - if so then the passenger's side carpet will be wet.

I've never had any luck with facebook marketplace, but here are a few listings:https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/nyc/?hoisted_items=3445042935721600https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/nyc/?hoisted_items=2865455020405275https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/nyc/?hoisted_items=809649249867776

I would watch the long Island, NY craigslist - Feb last year there were a couple of GSX's that were listed there. Be ready to pay though, you probably won't find one for under 6k - getting closer to 7 these days....

You had Jon Build your Diff? Good luck getting your core deposit back - I've been after him for months, if you can, wait to send in your core until he pays.

I recently filled my rear diff with redline heavy shockproof- don't make the mistake I did! I filled up to the fill hole (with a pump) and then immediately went out on the highway and burned up the diff in 10 minutes! Turns out, the thicker oil sticks to the inside of the diff casing, and...

I found Instagram is the best way to find local car meets - I started by using terms such as "car meet" and then typed in my state, county, etc. - eventually if you find one car meet group to follow, others are connected.- hope this helps

Thanks a ton.... I have been having trouble finding pages like these, the only way to hear about them is from other DSMers

If I were to guess... I would think likely one of those new pulleys is defective. I would take off the timing cover and run it. Maybe that way you can pinpoint exactly where the sound is coming from

I'm in southern NY - I would probably participate in any events you put on next year - the car community here is non-existent

I don't see what the problem is - I swapped my stock open dif with a junkyard lsd and kept the same axles - the left one wouldn't fit in the dif all the way without a hair of trimming, but worked great after that, no problems! Just use the non-lsd axles.

Marked as for sale again, as previous deal fell through.

The axle was seized in the hub, ended up having to cut it out. Its getting very hard finding rear axles for AWD eclipses, lmk if you have one and I will pay a good price.

Well, the car is running, I'm very confused as to why. I took every fuse and relay out I could find testing for the battery parasitic draw. Turned out it was a combination of the sunroof that doesn't open and the new gauge I just installed. Put everything together and now its running. puzzling...

I took the plug out, connected it to the spark plug wire, touched it to a ground at night so I could see if there was a spark, had someone crank it over. No spark, but I wasn't satisfied with that, so I took a test light, grounded it to the battery, and touched the the probe inside the spark...

Took the AEM EMS out and took it apart, everything looks okay in there, no burns or broken terminals. I have no idea where to look next. Checked the CAS, which doubles as a Crank position sensor and it appears fine, checked the CAS wiring harness, checked the EMS.Any suggestions where to look...

Thanks for the help guys, I was able to find this forum post - https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/how-to-test-1g-cas.394020/and followed goffers instructions. The CAS is pulsing like its supposed to when its rotating (4 pulses for the CAM) (2 pulses for the TDC wire). I didn't hear any fuel...

I had a stripped stud on mine a week ago, drilling it out was the only thing that worked, didn't damage the wheel at all if your careful. just need to find a replacement stud that fits.

So my 95 eclipse GSX has had engine cutout on and off recently while on the road, and now it wont start at all. No spark, no fuel. My research suggests to check the Cam angle sensor (Cam), then the Crank Position sensor, then finally send the AEM engine management system (ems) back to be...
