Yo man! Built not bought bro! I know this is an old post. But I figured i would respond anyways. I am in Seattle. Lookin for other dsm fans. I have a 98 gs spyder With some respectful upgrades.

Thank you guys for all the priceless advice. Helps increase the joy of owning an older cool car

Oh yeah. Good thinking! That didnt even cross my mind. But makes perfect sense. Thanks alot for the excellent tips.

No, I didnt try the gsc ones. But i know that lifters are definatly one of the parts you dont want to go "budget" on With our cars for sure. Check them for loose pinch rings, defective oil holes and consistent spring pressure throughout the set. (Ive encountered all of these defects...

Thanks for the tip Motomattx! You know how these mass produced chinese parts are. Hit or miss. I just keep missing i guess.

Ok guys i need some advice please. Im on my third set of lifters For my 98 spyder 4g64 gs auto. Put in new ones about 400 miles ago and the "Tick" is already back..aargh! So i got what they said were "high performance" ones. (All sets are 3rd gen) The newest set are from melling and under close...

Thanks man. Very interesting technique. Ill give it a go

Pry bar and a large flathead screwdriver to change out lifters? I am interested in this procedure as im changing out my lifters again. Put in a cheap e-bay set of 3g's. Tick is back after 500 miles uugh! So i got some "top line" ones on the way and any tips to make the job easier. Would be most...

Thanks for the tips gentlemen. Took it to a shop for some paid (expert) advice they went through the car and said it was because of old tires. I put 800 bucks worth of new tires on there recommendation. Still bad especially at freeway speeds. Sounds like a jet landing when I exit. Tires did help...

Excellent! Exactly the info I needed,and so we'll presented. Thank you

Hello my fellow DSMrs. I've got an issue I couldn't find in the forums. My 98 spyder gs with a 2.4 4g64 and auto trans has a grinding problem. It does it whenever the car is in motion. Increasing with speed. Even in neutral. I.e. coasting down a hill. I checked the wheel bearings,there fine. I'm...

Ok ok my rookie mistake. The tick is back with a vengeance now. I'm just gonna buy another set of higher quality ones and soak the hell outta them. See what happens. I'll let yall know the outcome.

Just went for a spin, purrs like a kitten now. WHOO HOO! thanks for the input:)

Yeah. Took it on the freeway after a couple laps around the block. I didn't soak them. Just bled them out. I'm thinking I may have caused some damage from that. Also there was one defective one in the new batch. So I picked what looked like the best one out of the old ones. I was hoping to get...

I have a 98 eclipse spyder gs 2.4 4g64. I just put it in new hydraulic lifters to rid my life of the nightmarish "tick" that plagues these vehicles. Alas, it was for nought as the ticking has merely moved from one side to the other. Any thoughts on what else could cause this issue?

Awesome post! Very well explained. And great pics. Helped me out ALOT. I live in Seattle and just bought a 98 spyder gs. So you can imagine how useful i found this. Thanks man:)

Hi! Thanks for the compliments.The building is in Meridian park off of 50th st. By the U. District. Yeah I love the black and tan interior. The previous owner had full custom leather done. Its got black swede inserts on the seats. So classy. Next is a NRG quick release wheel, ditch that ugly...

Hi! Thank you. I lucked out and found this on Craigslist after the car I was gonna buy came back with a dirty title. I wish I could store it, but its my daily for now. I'm trying to be nice to her till I have a chance to go through the whole car. But At least I can find all the leaks with this...

Thank you very much for the warm welcome! The motor is a bone stock 110k 2.4 4g64 mated to a 4 speed auto with OD. I've only had the car for two weeks and all I've done mechanically so far is add marvel mystery oil to the the gas and crankcase. ordered new lifters because of that crazy ticking...

Hello all. Just bought my first DSM. its a well kept 98 eclipse spider gs. I love it! So far I've done custom leather upholstery, Bluetooth stereo, 17" Foose wheels and i just did a LED headlight conversion. This site is GREAT! All my questions have been answered so far. Saved me time and money
