well i have an eclipse, 97, so hopefullyi can get a carb sticker from greddy.I tried looking up the main office contact number but can't find it or get ahold of anyone.Anyone here know where i can get the number to order a carb sticker?Thanks!

Its not a misdemeanor. Its an infraction...

I just got a state ref ticket in san jose.Is there a way i can just pay the fine and not have to go to the state ref??? If so, whats the fine amount usually? I just got the ''modified intake'' codeHey Guys,I jsut got screwed with a state ref ticket for modified intake. Anyone here...

I checked the RPM speeds from Jackstransmissions.comStock 5th gear is like 3k RPM for 70 MPH. I'm currently around 3,750 RPM for 70 MPH. So that is hopefully proof enough. I got a buddy who's girl has a stock GST. I'll drive her car and confirm for sure.Thanks guys

So i called the shop telling them that 4th and 5th feel short. He was not happy and I don't think believes me. Regardless, being at near 4,700 RPM's in 5th going 90 is bad for the engine and gas mileage. At that rate, i'd top out at like 120!This won't stand.If anyone has any other...

Crap. So being at like 3,750 at 70 MPH is definately not right then?

I just got my transmission rebuilt, and I feel like my 5th gear is now shorter.I'm hitting about 3,750 RPM at 70 MPH. This seems lower geared than the stock 2g GST 5th gear. Can anyone else confirm? AT 90 MPH is was over 4,500 RPM. That's not right for cruising at 90 MPH. I feel like im...

So i just had my transmission rebuilt this past week, and I've noticed something with the RPM band.Now, it could be since i haven't driven the car consistantly in a few months, but I don't think so.I've noticed the RPM's are really high for the speed I'm going (Geared low?).In 5th...

BLAZINBLUNTS101 is mine. Dont have Forza though.

White, 97 GST, rims with a flip down license plate. Sitting in my driveway. Oh wait...:pI saw a white 2G on alum rock and 101 on Sunday as I was crossing the overpass. Looked clean, but couldn't see if it was GS GST or GSX.

Hey guys,I just smogged the car and swapped my modified exhaust back on. I was testing the exhaust for leaks, etc, when i slowed down to a stop light and heard a loud ticking/knock sound coming from my engine.It makes the noise at idle, and obviously the faster i go, the faster it makes...

I always see a clean maroon colored 2g (looked like it was GS) at the 24 hour fitness of parkmoor and race street in san jose. Paintjob is clean, but no mods to be seen.

i can use a welder to. my FMIC needs a new support arm to relieve my bumper support

What if you don't have stickers?I have a jr. frank 19c from E.M. but no sticker for it. It's not OEM replacement status, so am I screwed?Curious if they would catch a dump tube too. What do you guys think?

Hey Guys,I have some scratches from the previous owner, as well as a somewhat chipped from bumper. What do you think my best options are for fixing these things?I don't want to spend thousands and thousands on an entirely new paint job, so i'm thinking of getting the scratches sanded...

I need to see some CFM ratings for me to think this turbo is credible at all.Who's got more info on it?

the actual car with everything connected? Nope. just normal engine soundit was only during the compression test. I guess i just want to make sure i didn't damage anythign when doing the test. I've heard of compression testers being too 'long' and causing damage internally. This one didnt...

i had my roommate holding the tester while i cranked it, so I don't think its that. But i don't know what else it would be besides air escaping somewhere. That noise just bothered me.

doesn't anyone know what I am talking about?

some people take it easy on the new engines, some people beat the crap out of them from the start. Both methods have had great success.I also believe if u tighten the studs down right the 1st time u wont need to do it again.do a search on here about engine break in. You'll be suprised...

but it doesn't do it on all cylinders i test. this time it did it only on 4, 1, and 2, not 3last time it did it on 3 and 4

So i just got my car back from the shady dealership. They said my compression was '45' on cylinder 3, so i did the test on my own after i warmed up the car and charged the battery.I got 180 180 150 180.However, when i was doing the compression test, when i was cranking it at WOT, i...

200 205 190 195 for wet test.Any before you say "It's your rings!" , adding oil to the equation is always going to raise your compression whether the rings are 90% blown or just starting to age. Plus im aware my rings appear bad, what im asking is how damaging will it be to drive on it when...

So I did a compression test that yielded 2 low cylinders (3 and 4), so i took it to the dealer to have them do a leakdown test and analyze where and what the exact issue is. Upon their compression test and leakdown test, they say its only cylinder 3 that is low.My readings were for dry: 180...

thanks guys

Anyone want to point me to a DIY write up for pulling the head off yourself?I heard there was one on vfaq but it doesn't seem to be there anymore, and ive found a lot of crap inbetween here and there on how to do it, step by step.I just blew my headgasket (at least i think), compression...

I was contemplating building a box with 1 wall taken off to attach to the underside of my wheel well around the hole where my air ducting goes through. I would pull the filter down through the hole instead, and have this box surround it, and simply point my air duct directly to the filter.I...

yeah perhaps ill drain the oil myself and check it out.I noticed no traces of milky substance in the oil via dipstick or oilcap, anywhere. I notice no traces of bubbles or black particles in the coolant overflow container. I did however notice some white particles, but that could be from...

dude my o2 dump was such a PITA to get on. Took us 3 hours. We didn't have all the tools either though, and 1 bolt was siezed up. Man, that night sucked. Not to mention my o2 housing didn't match up with my 3'' downpipe so an appropriate gasket was an issue.Make sure your ready when you do...

i honestly was thinking a combination of rings and headgasket as bad as that sounds. I say this b/c i have symptoms from both.rings because my dipstick sprayed oil all over the place. HG because my oil doesn't look just right and i had a puff of white smoke outta my tailpipe after i did the...

oh i explicitly asked for that exact test, so when i talk to them today, im gonna tell em to stop ####y footin around and tell me step by step WTF they're doing to my car.Thanks for the info viprez

Thanks Jerry.So far the dealership did the leakdown test and said they found 3 compression leaks. 1 at the oil plug, 1 at the axel seal? (i forget exactly where he said) and the 3rd was the valve cover gasket.Curious though, could these 3 leaks cause only 2 cylinders to drop 40psi in...

back to the origional point of this thread.Anyone willing to help me swap my clutch and flywheel? I pay in food stamps, lol

heres an update guys.I did a compression test and cylinders 3 and 4 were 40 psi below 1 and 2's compression.Took it to the dealer to have a proper leak down test done. They called me today and said i had a compression leak at the oil plug, axel seal, and valve cover gasket.If that...

well im buying another car as a daily driver regardless, so i guess ill have time to consider a good engine rebuild.lol or i could be an ass and sell it as is and keep my mouth shut. But karma is a mofo

i need help swapping out my centerforce dual friction and lightweight flywheel if anyone wants to step up to that. =)

so is a 6bolt swap a bad idea?Im confused on what I should do at this point.fftec charges 1450 for a 6bolt swap. Add 1,100 for adding any parts to it.

maybe i can bribe paul to come out to san jose and help me wrench on my mofo car. But hes probably not interested. Paul rocked. He did my motor mounts for dirty cheap and theyre still rocking solid.

So yeah...Compression test shows cylinder 3 and 4 are about 35 psi lower than 1 and 2, meaning either bad rings, cylinder walls, or most likely, blown HG. And yes, I saw some white smoke previously on start up. SO!Curious if I should just pay a reputable shop (FFtec or Ditos) to do the...

well im gonna go buy a cheap commuter car this week as my DD and keep the eclipse on blocks till fixed.Its at the dealer right now doing a leakdown test. i just blew 180 180 150 155 in a compression test. I'm thinkin blown HG..Lots of cheap Kia's in the bay area and theyre great on gas...

yeah thats one of my options. But a blown headgasket doesn't explain the jump in compression from cylinders 3 and 4. Plus theres virtually no evidence of white smoke post the wet test.Keep them comming guys, id like to hear every angle

Hey guys,I have a vague idea of whats wrong, but maybe someone has an idea or guidance here.97 GST. 80,XXX miles.Dry Test (from passenger to driver side) 180 180 150 155 Wet Test (Same) 200 190 185 195I'm thinking since cylinders 3 and 4 jumped up a good 40 psi each, that I...

omg why pay 1800 bucks for a job like that when you can get a 6bolt motor for that much from slow boy racing?!6 bolt is the win son!

yeah im still around and beating up on the occasional honda here and there.I got bigger problems than a clutch ATM however. I have building crank pressure causing oil to pop out the dipstick >_<Gonna do a compression test. Once thats fixed, then clutch time.How hard is a clutch to...

what would be a better suit for my application.will replacing the FPR improve gas mileage? I feel i still run rich at times, and last time I was tuned the guy told me its hard to tune my car w/out dsm link and a FPR.How much does the OEM evo unit go for?

the problem is it only does it under boost and i can't boost realistically while parked revving the engine.its gotta be the dipstick, but what is causing it??? i can fix the dipstick and get a new OEM one that seals, but the pressure will still be there.I did install a HUSKY home depot...

bringing a thread back from the dead, but i have a 97 eclipse and cannot for the life of me find the stupid MPI.1g and 2g are different. 2G's MPI is NOT near your battery. So anyone know where it is????
