Me and a buddy of mine are trying to get his dsm going. (97 eclipse gst). He had mtor problems and rebuilt it at home. Now that it is all together the car cranks but will not turn over. :cry: I know there is a huge list of things to check and trust me we have checked and tried everything. I'll...
Ok i'm working on 2g and the car won't start, the horn won't work or the stareo. The accesories do not work when the key is turned to. and it is confusing the hell out of me. Whare are the fuse boxes located on the car? Someone please help me and let me know any suggestions.
I got a "new" motor from a friend, and when I say new I mean brand new. This motor is not a rebiuld. He bought a new short block and a head, all stock. the motor is completely assembled and ready to go. I'm pulling the motor out of his project car in a couple of days. my car is a 91 tsi and tha...
Ok, tell me the truth... We abuse our DSM in one way or another, rather it be launches, over boosting, grinding gears and miss-shifting. How much can these cars realy take?? When was the last time you made an ooops :cry: and miss-shifted, or passed redline when you didn't mean to? Any good...
I also see the same thing. Some kids have thier heads so dar up thier ass they cant tell shit from shine. For example, the civic thing is a waist of time. Most kids 16-18 put the 5$ neons and a cheapass body kit with intake and call it a 13 sec car. And like you said when the time comes to back...
My tranny just went out on me and now the car sits in the driveway :thumbdown . Is there any place whare I can find a new or used tranny with 23 splines for a half way good price?
I replaced my o2 sensor today and being that I didin't have a O2 puller tool, I took off my o2 housing. Now that everyhting is back together, I go to start my car and when I do My ECU makes some funky niose and my turbo timer does not turn on! But wait that is not all, every time I push my brake...
Ok, my engine just bit the dust due to timing failure. As I look at my options I can rebuild the same engine or buy a jdm. The only thing I'm worried about is how hard is it to swap in the jdm engine? If some one could give me a basic break down of difficulty it would be helpfull.
Mine has been down on and off for a about two months now. I finally decided to have the engine rebuilt because I'm unsure if the jdm motor is a direct swap. If it is I'll do it...so is it?
Well, now that everything is disassembled I looked at my valves and found that a couple are really messed up. :thumbdown I'm getting a complete rebuild on the engine. Looks like I'll be without a car for some time but it will have basicaly a new engine when it's done.
Not to much nothing that would reach all the way into the block, I removed everything so you could see the timing belt and that is it, no sprokets were removed, nothing that would even cause any type of leak that I would know of. My worries are that the crank seal is shot or the oil pump seal(s)...
I replaced my knock sensor and drove my car for about an hour to see if there was a difference. Great there was but on the way home I noticed a strange noise coming from the driver side. when I got home there was oil everywhare under the car and all over the timing belt area. When I took the...
If you need boost, I's say go with the 2g dsm or the wrx, both have a huge aftermarket and are somewhat simple to work on. If you haven't friven the wrx, give it a shot it may impress you some, the only downfall I think about the wrx is the name subaru and the looks. If ya don't like it you can...
two things happened: First the I found that the radiator split causing the cooling leak, easy 200$ later and a new radiator fixed in about 30 min. But Second sure anough the head gasket is slowly falling apart, right now it is nere the thermostat by the exhaust manifold not cool, i think it was...
Ok check this one out. I went out last night for a couple of hours and race around for a little bit. Great night everything was perfect, my car, the wether, everything. So after being out until 2 in the morning I head home and get some sleep. When I wake up and start up[ my car to warm it up I...
Perhaps he is right. Slapping a turbo on your car may not be the best thing for you and your flawless driving record. I've had my car for over a year now and shit Ive gotten pulled over plenty of times because I thought I was a good driver. I have one 4 point ticket and one 12 pointer :cry...
No joke, that junk pisses me off more than anything :mad: what a f****** fool. Dude sorry for the crap week hopefully things will start looking up from here ;)
It's true and unfortunate, Mitsu may be going under sooner than you think d/c moved to benz and Mitsu is now stuck with a crap line up of cars and huge lack if ideas with the lack of sale to back it up. :thumbdown If rumors have it right mitsu may be out with in the next 5-7 years. I mean...
The cop is just being a dumbass about things, I got pulled over and ritten a 12 piont ticket for hearing me tires spin whe the car shifted. :mad: First, it was in the middle of the night and he was no ware to be seen. Second, the fool has probably heard a bov and may have confused the nioses...
