lol, well ive never really used ac to begin with, even in the summer ive learned to just use my windows and sunroof. Thanks for putting my mind at ease guys... any ideas of what cost would be to replace this thing?

thats good to know, but im just wondering will anything bad happen if the ac gets turned on from the inside, since sometimes someone may turn it on without asking?

Hey guys, so my ac belt (one farthest back and closest to driver) fell off while i was driving today. I searched and it seems like ill be ok without it, but i just want to double check, and also if theres anything i should or shouldnt do now that its off.

hey everyone, i go to school in the boston are, and brought my eclipse up this year. Im jsut wondering if anyone can mention some good trustworthy shops to go to in case it is ever necessary. Thanks

hey, for a while now my wipers have had an issue. Whenever i put it on the "timed" setting it just works as if it were on the slow setting. The slow and the fast settings both work fine, but whenever i put it in the timed setting and try to adjust the time in b/w wiping it just stays the same as...

also, am i doing any major damage if i continue driving it?, it is my daily driver, and i can still get it to engage in gear for now.

well i just checked it out...its leaking from the pedal area so i guess that means i need a new master cylinder. Im jsut debating on wether or not i should do it myslef or take it to the dealer since i need to have as little down time as possible and im not too familiar with this type of job...

yeah if i press it, it usually doesnt come up easily on its own, and can sometimes stay stuck there. They just scared me by throwing in that it could be the disc so i want to see what could lead to that so i know what to maybe expect.

i havent had a chance to diagnose anything on my own yet since i was away all weekend, but on my way to work today i decided to call the dealership for some price quotes on parts and labor, which of course, they wouldnt give without bringing in the car. They mentioned however, a third possible...

i went to take my car out this morning, and from the moment i first stepped on the clutch i felt something was very different. The resistance that i would normally feel soon after i pressed the clutch, i would feel towards the floor. It was starting to get more difficult to drive and at one...

ok i know alot of you guys cringe at the thought of neons, but i personally just like the way they look, so decided to put em on my car as well. problem is i am having a really hard time finding a place to put them in the front of the car (2g with front mount). So I am asking if any of you know...

hey guys, a lot of times lately, that i park and lock my car, i notice that after a few minutes my alarm sometimes randomly goes off, like today after getting out of my car it goes off after 15 sec as im walking from the parking lot to a store. Now this is the stock security system. Any...

As far as i know, according to the dmv sites, insurance is needed if you are operating a vehicle...but if its not being driven then you arent operating it. Plus...if youre not driving it then whose gonna ask to check your insurance anyways. the only downside to this is that if its stolen, you're...

that looks pretty awsome actually....well you made my life alot easier, ill try it out either tomorrow sometime during the week...does the neon fit in the mouth though or is it too long?

which metal support in the bumper are you referring to... will it be affected at all if my bumper scrapes the ground lets say when going up a hill? anyone else have any other methods?

ok i know alot of you guys cringe at the thought of neons, but i personally just like the way they look, so decided to put em on my car as well. problem is i am having a really hard time finding a place to put them in the front of the car (2g with front mount). So I am asking if any of you know...

flare wrenches, from sears hardware...otherwise ## most likely gonna be stripping

i do not beleive he can give me a ticket for speeding without having an actual speed, by radar or pacing. im trying to see if i can fight the careless driving ticket, since really i was not doing anything careless and he was just assuming that i was speeding. i really do not know how fast i was...

Hey guys, im wondering if i can get any help to see if this ticket can be fought, especially any help from people that live in jersey would be appreciated. anyways last night i was driving down on rt. 18 in the east brunswick area and was slowing down for a traffic light whihc when it turned...

No skillz is right...the primary reason for the soft-hard settings is to change the setting of the spring to prevent compressor surge usually noticed by the fluttering sound. You are not gonna get the same sound like the type s from the type rs, ive tried many settings just for the sake of...

ive actually had both so hopefully i can help you out a little. As far as sound goes, the type s has more of a higher pitched whistle to it, while the type rs is more of like a big woosh of air. The type rs has a lil recirculation piece that screws right on to the bov which costs like 25 or...

sounds like the clutch is on its way out...thats what i experienced atleast when it happened.

In the past i had purchased and put in denso 550cc fuel injectors and did not change any of the rings on the injectors. I decided that i might as well do this now and was wondering if there is a specific type of ring that i should look for, because while searching extremepsi.com i had a...

i never said it wasn't, i actually said it seemed like a reputable shop...sorry for the confusion. and i'll do just that then.

out of curiosity where in central jersey is ivey tune located. im in central jersey as well and have never heard of it but it looks like its pretty reputable

wouldn't everyones problems be solved if we all just bought those cheap 15 dollar earpeice/microphone headset and take our calls that way, therefore not holding a phone while driving (especially if its stick) and actually paying attention to what you're doing. I mean not only is it safe...but...

that was too fast. thanks for the quick answer and advice.

i searched and although i didnt get a direct answer to this i think i figured it out but i just want to reconfirm. Is changing a pcv valve on the valve cover as simple as screw off old and screw in new? No fancy tricks nothing to look out for just straight forward screw off screw on? I read...

hey krnbk2, just out of curiosity what happeend last night (the 4th) at the lot. I went to turn in and saw everyone leaving and like 10 cops. Did something happen or did they randomly decide to come and end everything. Are the meets gonna continue anywhere else?

thats pretty interesting... about 4 months ago i too went to get dynoed with a 16g at 17 psi and got 253 hp and 248 ft/lb of tq at the wheels and that was also on a very bad clutch. So i too am also hoping now that i got the 2100 in there that my numbers at 17psi will rise up. I pretty much have...

hmm im surprised it wasnt so great... i mean usually there are some pretty nice cars that show up and its pretty fun, were there any dsmers there cuz i know like there are like atleast 6 or so that are always there. sorry it wasnt that great for you

hmm i never knew the founder was on this site. krnbk which car is yours at the meets? Anyways guys try and go its pretty cool like i mentioned if you just wanna chill and get a look of some other cars from the area, also we are trying to get some more dsms to show up. There were about 7 last...

honestly i dont know anyhting under the hood since they never opened it up...i know its a yellow integra type r with a black carbon fiber hood. Um stock wing no graphics or nythinbg like that. sorry thats all i can see from it

its pretty chill, go there look at other cars, talk to people about whatever, theres a mc'ds as well there to eat. A lot of nice cars there, but most of em are owned by marlboro high school kids with really rich parents. Shop cars show up too sometimes like lately turbotrix has brought their...

lowes is no more than ten min away from raceway park and thats probably only b/c we are gonna be going at a slower pace than normal so we dont lose anyone. Also as far as prices go... its 15 for spectator and 30 to race... o and food.....i think 2.50 for a slice of pizza thats about it as far as...

I'll be there. Im still debating on the to race or not to race part since i dk if ill be ready.1. Bill - "Spoolio" 2. Dave - "Blk 2gnt" 3. Jice - "xTotalEclipsex" w/ crew 4. Cait - "EclipseGSTgrl96" 5. Adam - "GinNBoost" 6. Jerry - "Faithless" 7. Adam - "ZakreconY" 8. Kurt -...

you should have gapped those plugs before you put them in, that could probably still be causing those little misses that you are mentioning. Did the shop tighten down everything else like it was supposed to do?

what kind of mbc is it? i had the same problem as you and ran it unhooked and bam the psi jsut shot right up so i knew it was the mbc. Just give it a try so you know if its the mbc or not if it is buy a new one if it is not then you need to do the next step which is a boost leak test. Theres a...

as far as how to do it with a datalogger and everything goes, i am pretty sure thqat on a 1g you raise or lower the fuel in the high and low throttle to get it till where theres 0 knock across the board and your o2 voltages b/w .92 and .94 .96 and up is rich i beleive.

hey man, it def sounds like your problem doesnt have much to do with a boost leak, and def seems like its spark plug related, i too have had the same problem and it felt like i was flooring it and it was going no where half the time and the other time it would go smoothly. Also when i had the...

i use an afc i was able to get around a 25hp gain going from just 15psi to 17 psi on my 16g, but for sum reason it wont hit past 16psi and i had it up to 18 at one point making me beleive theres a leak not letting it hold anythjing more than 16.O well i shall search and find this leak(s) hopefully.

i will most likely be there, the question is will i be running the car or not, the car def has a boost leak somewhere i am sure and i need to get it retuned again with the new clutch now so if i can get the money to do all that by july 23 then i should be on the track.

thats what i hoping it was...it not really spongy (i guess that was a bad choice of words) it just sorta like i dont know but not as smooth and this happens like halfway through the pressing of the clutch. Its like creaking/squeeking kind of noise coming from the pedal area as well, could this...

Hey recently i've noticed something weird about my clutch pedal everytime i press it to switch gears or just when i press it in general. I had just put in an act 2100lb clutch about a month ago and everyhting is going great, no problems at all and it grabs without a problem. But for the past two...

Hey guys, im just informing all of you guys that live in like the central jersey area that every thursday night at 10 that there is a huge meet of close to 100 cars or so at the marlboro plaza in the pathmark parking lot on rt 9 whihc is located right across from lowes hardware. The only thing...

o so your oil cooler line im gonna assume (the rubber one?), well that would explain those puffs of smoke from your drivers side under the hood happening for about 2 seconds like you mentioned prbably.And it also seems as if your turbo is slowly on its way out as well.

hmm looks exactly like my situation one month ago. Car is probably two teeth off like mine was and had that 100x worse running feeling and horrible idle. Took it to mitsubishi had them prove that the timing was off and told the shop where i did it that it ran perfect before i brought it in and...

unfortunately thats like almost a two hour drive for me. when you said texas road or something earlier today i thought you were like 15 min from here. Are you sure that its oil and not coolant, it could possibly be a water pump cause that is over there as well. Otherwise it could be a whole...

where exactly do you live? any idea what side the oil is coming from and exactly what else do you have going wrong for u? Hey you got two weeks till the 3rd dont give up yet.

Yeha my uncle owns one of those actually in black, and let me tell you they are gorgeous in person and even more fun to drive. They made only 900 or so altogether. They came out starting at 62,000 and i dont know if those were the price for the vr4's or sl. But they look amazing with the top...
