    Can't remove the throttle body plate

    The key to removing the two screws from the plate easily without destroying them is to use to correct screwdriver. These are metric screws, you need to use a JIS screwdriver. It is for lack of any better description a metric Philips screwdriver. The tip has a slightly different shape. I use them...

    ECUflash ECUflash reading stock ROM

    Ceddy said you only needed them on the 95-97.......he meant you needed to add them on 95-97 cars because it wasn't there from the factory as it was there on 98-99 cars.

    Will this replacement fuel tank work?

    The 95-97 and 99-99 tanks are different, because the filler pipe is also different. The venting is very different and a GSX tank should have a second opening just like the one for the fuel pump. It should be on the passenger side in about the same equivalent place as the drivers side.

    2G Enkei Rpf1 questions and color theme

    I'm running EVO 9 Enkies with Wilwood brakes front and rear. 13.1 x 1.25 two piece rotors front and rear. 6 pot forged billet calipers in front with no clearance issues. I have been thinking about the same Enkies RFP1 in 17x9 +38, I saw them on a tuners member car from Texas. I've heard that...

    Yeah, a new cowl would be nice to find. I asked JNZtuning about one of those a couple years ago and was told nope! No longer being made.

    Quaife lsd differential

    I can attest to that. The KAAZ locks solid! I was on the highway about 100 miles from home and hit a pothole in the road. All of a sudden I heard a clunk and I had to keep the steering wheel partly to the left to stay centered. Turns out the the rear passenger side trailing arm snapped. Because...

    Quaife lsd differential

    If I remember correctly, Quaife does not make an LSD for the GSX rear. Only front and center, I remember looking for one and ended of getting a KAAZ.

    TIRE CHOICES

    As Nate said, I have Bridgestone Blizzaks on alternate wheels for the winter. I tend to get 3-4 winters out of a set (I sometimes run them too far into the spring because I can't get to my others soon enough) For the rest of the year, I run summer tires on EVO IX wheels and get 2-3 summers out...

    That is a really good idea! I'll seriously look into that.

    Looking to Buy/Build a GSX: Buy a nice bone stock one?

    Mine is not only a DD, but my only car. So during my catastrophic failures, it's a rental car. I fact, I'm going to have to deal with rust soon. Both strut towers and both rockers are starting to rust. I guess I'll be in for a few grand and a rental car again.

    Looking to Buy/Build a GSX: Buy a nice bone stock one?

    I read that for the '99 model year, there only 28,000 GSXs built, so I would think there are only so many to be had at this point.

    widest tire on evo 8 wheels 1g awd

    I run summer tires on the EVO wheels. For the winter, I run 225/40-17 Bridgestone Blizzaks on 17x7.5 Gram Lights. I'll most likely go with Falken Azenis 615K in 245/40-17 in spring as my Dunlops are done.

    widest tire on evo 8 wheels 1g awd

    I'm running Dunlop Sport Maxx TT 245/40-17 on EVO IX Enkies. I am lowered but, at this point I'm not really sure how much. I'm on Tein Type Flex coilovers. No rubbing issues and renders are not rolled at all. I was thinking about going to a 255/40-17 after the winter, but I'm afraid that they...

    Rust repair with base model?

    You should be able to get most sheet metal panels......not genuine Mitsubishi, but aftermarket. I'm thinking that if you bring a car to a body shop, they would get them. I was looking on line for left front fenders for a 2gb GSX. Mitsubishi doesn't make them anymore. I did find a few places...

    2G eta 12" short route

    When I got my ETS race race intercooler kit with that same pipe kit directly from ETS, the pipes didn't fit very well. I was able to make it fit okay, I eventually took the car to JMFabications and had them do some cutting and welding to make it all better.

    2G eta 12" short route

    That's a short route pipe kit. Are you getting a short route intercooler or extreme short route? The piping would obviously be different.

    2G Rear toe arms

    Look up Prothane part number 13-301. I think that's the one. If I remember correctly from when I did mine, you will see 2 tubes that are longer than the rest. Those are the tubes along with two spacers.http://www.prothanesuspensionparts.com/13301

    2G Rear toe arms

    The OP can always urethane bushings from Prothane. They have a kit that includes them as part of the kit. Cut bolts to get the toe arms out and then remove the original bushings and push the new ones in. The eccentric bolts should still be available from places like JNZtuning. I remove the old...

    420A 2gNT Engine dies while driving.

    Just to add some info to this subject, I had a similar issue, car would just shut down while driving. It was the CAS failing. It worked until it got hot and them throw a spurious signal to the ECU. I found that until I got the new one from JNZtuning, I would start the engine and give it a moment...

    Cheap dsmers

    I think I read somewhere that for the 1999 model year Mitsubishi only sold around 28 thousand ish GSX Eclipses. So they won't expect to make dedicated parts (that are GSX only) 16 years out. It's just no profitable...it's most likely not even break evenable. (That's not even a word)I had to...

    2G eta 12" short route

    I guess there's too many variables. I had to cut a couple inches off of a couple of them to make it all fit. Then for a few weeks I had pipes that had no rolled beads on the ends! A little too much boost would blow the hose off. I ran over to JMFabrications and had them fix them up a bit and...

I did need to do a bit of cutting on the front bumper cover. I did keep the crash bar, I just needed to...

    Leaking Coolant

    Mitsubishi no longer makes the pre formed coolant hoses (the small diameter hoses) and I find that the standard hose by the foot doesn't like some of the tight radius bends needed. I got a few feet of silicone "heater hose" from siliconehose.com. And they have need good so far. I agree with...

    As far as how many CFMs the fans can move, I haven't seen any aftermarket versions that even match the OEM fans. I can't count how many I've been through and I'm back to the OEM fan on the passenger side. There's no room on the drivers side.In a side note, it funny, I'm in a similar position...

    Pauleyman, very well said. There are now too many people buying crap eBay parts or rigging sh#t parts and then getting on here and whining why things don't work and then flaming people when they don't get the answer they want. Seems that the Honduh ricers are moving here.

    Smell Of Exhaust/Fuel When Windows Opened

    Sorry, yes. It was two things....leaking V band clamp between the waste botto. Of the O2 housing and the downpipe and a leaking flex section in the down pipe. The down pipe had taken a beating over the years.

    2G Oil Pressure Gauge Install?

    I have it connected to one of the unused ports on the oil filter housing. There are most likely 2 ports that are plugged. Remove the plug and put the sensor there. It is 3/8 BSP threads, so you will need an adaptor to 1/8 NPT.

    Can I tap a oil pressure gauge into stock oil filter housing

    2G Cel p0300 then ignition fuse blows

    I would check all of the wiring to look for damaged wires. If you smelled something burning and it blew a 40 amp fuse, that's a pretty large fuse to blow. I'd look for a wire that might have cracked broken insulation that is bumping into some bare metal.

They claim on the website that it's "plug and play" but it's not quite. It requires that the axles have EVO 8 inner CV's...
