yeah might do, yet I don't really want to rewire the speakers...I'm still curious what the sound will be like with the stock radio. aka nice speakers with a low power input and how they would compare to an aftermarket H/U pumping more power.ooo line drivers, yeah won't need just yet.The...

This is actually for my second vehicle(dodge ram). The front 2 speakers are blown so I have to replace them anyway, and the rears distort at high volume and generally sound awful. Again I'd like to keep the stock head unit... (and line level converters are normally used to create RCA components...

Thanks for the help, yeah I had considered putting in an amp yet I know I won't feel like running the speaker wires.I'm still curious how it all works though, as my stock setup gets more than loud enough. (though they distort at high volume) Would more power with the new speakers produce a...

I'm looking to get some new speakers yet I'd like to keep my factory head unit as I really like the stock look and matching illumination.From what I understand, if the RMS value per channel coming out of the factory head unit is within the range of the new speaker's rated RMS values, they...

hi well i have the electrical part of the gauge all done now all i have to do is tap into the vacuum line. i am so confused on how this T connector is going to work. The hose from the autometer box is sooo damn small for any normal T connector yet on the install website they show a normal size T...

Hi, I am having a problem choosing the way of my exhaust its either between the thermal or doing a custom dual exhaust because i love the dual exhaust look and i dont like the size of the tip on most 3" i know its a 4 cylinder but i love the look, but i still would liek the performance so its...

kk I'll definitely check that out, I had no idea that it was aftermarket! So did all 1gs not have a factory sunroof option?and DAMN defiant I can't believe your still posting strong on here. I figured you'd lose your mind by now with half the questions on here. :cool:I'm going to take...

Hey old pals!I've been driving my newer 1g around for a long time now and I'm happy yet I randomly stumbled upon a 96 GSX in Michigan. Family owned original owners, 87k miles, selling to get a 4-door. The car is bone stock and has had a bunch of stuff replaced. They want $2500. I'm thinking...

Yeah boosted I hear ya, I'm not sure how they do it.Thats an excellent point you made about why don't they just buy it straight up, if its such a hot car they could make way more than their "small fee"Anyway, so hows the catch with this actually work then???? As in lets say I say sure...

I've always ignored these calls thus far. For a fee they basically guarantee to sell your car at your asking price in less than 10 days. They claim to use ebay and other sites and offer financing/shipping making more sellable.Theres no way this can be real. What is the catch? How can they...

Fixed it!!Could be a multitude of things though.I ended up filling her directly and added a ton of coolant. I did an extremely thorough "burping" with the engine off and on. I removed all the junk that was between the condenser and radiator. Drained some coolant and added a ton more...

Yeah, that stat is the Stant 180 deg one. I put the old one in boiling water, opened up fine around 190+...I added a bottle of wetter and drove her around. There is plenty of pressure in the system, still overheats. :cry: At idle with the fans blowing, shes fine. Yet whenever I accelerate or...

Swapped everything out, I'm going to let the RTV cure and test it all in the morning.Yeah, at the very bottom of the condenser there is some leaves, but its nothing major. If the stat and cap don't work, ill consider pulling the condenser to open up more airflow. I'd just give it to him on...

Coolant level is all good, not losing fluid. The next owner will most likely be putting on a new AC belt so I'm leaving the condenser for now. No never burped it, going to do it after the swap. Stock fans, yes I saw that post, thats where I got most of my ideas. Just wanted more personal...

By clicking on the A/C both fans run at max, so that seems ok. I'm leaving now to go grab a stat and new cap. Check back in 20 min.Thanks so far though!!:thumb:

As I said the A/C belt is off, it hasn't run in a while. So basically I click on the A/C as a simple way to have both the fans running, yet not really the A/C. I think thats ok?

I'm really not sure, the thermostat could very well be the problem.Just as I put on the FMIC this all happened, so that led me to believe it was something other than the thermostat. Yet perhaps now that shes working harder, the thermostat is now proving to be the issue.Also I didn't...

I've just sold my car but I'm having the same issues as before. I thought I would have solved them by now.After installing my new huge front mount, the car began to overheat. Yes I've read all the threads with a similar situation. Please help me out if you can.Now it could very well be a...

Thanks for the help! Though I'm actually not looking to drive the car nor do I have any time.He understands all the fees involved with customs, safety laws etc. Just not the shipping process. If hes willing to pay for it, that would be the easiest for me. If anyone else has any info with...

Hi all,Its been a while since I've been around but knowing this great community I'm sure you guys might be able to help me out.I have finally sold my GSX to a gentleman in Ontario Canada.The buyer is paying completely for shipping, yet he is new to this and so am I. Is there a...

Hi, my alternator belt popped off once again but now as i look i see that my rear belt is shredded in half. So after i searched i found out that that rear belt only goes to the air conditioning. So basically i cut that rear belt off and i tightened the alternator belt with an oem one not the...

Alright, well i alwayyys search for my problems, but in this case its hard to determine the specifics of mine from all the threads. I just finished installing my uicp and ssqv and also recently my blow thru maf and translator setup. Now after all this installed i finally pushed her into the high...

Wow its been a while since I've been around here. Hello all! :cool:I still have my car, curious to see if I were lucky the absolute what the market is now for 2g gsxs. Yes theres many more details to consider, but I'm just looking for a general opinion. I would think it would be a hell of a...

Ive read through some threads and ive kind of gotten out of them that there is no way to raelly hook up a subwoofer to the stock amp.I have this old rockford fosgate like 12" woofer and i was wondering if theres jus anything i can do to jus hook it up to the stock amp just for a little...

oh trust me I am no stranger to vfaq. I actually saw that article a while back but I figured theres no way dirty window tracks would cause the window to come up that crooked. Yet now I will definitely try some lube and check the tracks. Thank you!

On my 90 Eclipse the drivers side window doesnt like to roll up straight. It is a power window and as it is rolling up it tends to rise and go crooked causing it to not meet the top edge leaving a 1" gap between. If I guide it carefully with my hand I can get the window to meet and seal though...

k thanks im going to do that right now ill let ya know how it goes

My tiller wont start!! :cry: I left it outside for a little while and it got a little wet. Now it will only start and run if I continue to spray starter fluid in its tiny little carb. Maybe its not getting fuel?Its a 3hp briggs and stratton anyone know what I can do?!?

When I get home I will test the tps sensor, does you or anyone else have any other ideas of what the problem could be??

Yes it is a 1.8l non-turbo fuel injection with a distributorI actually bought a second tps sensor from the junkyard a while back ill see if I can find it and swap it out tomorrow. I think the reason I never swapped it before was because I was told that the tps sensors dont really go bad...

Alright here is the story hopefully someone will be able to lend some help out to me. I purchased a 1990 Eclipse 1.8l with a bad ecu... popped in a new ecu and she started. Now another thing to know is while I was waiting for the new ecu I messed with the distributor so before she would start...

well thats built into the distributor and it seems to be ok im guessing. Im not throwing any cels and this distributor ran fine before the ecu went bad.

Thanks, I found that info and to the best of my knowledge it is exactly at that. The timing seems to be fine the car can idle and go into gear fine. Honestly up to half throttle its like a completely normal car. Anything over 1/2 throttle just bogs out no matter how slow I push down the throttle...

I got it running! Thanks everyone. I did it all by doing what everyone said and watching the timing light and slowly I adjusted it until the line was in spec and it started running on its own. Not sure exactly how people know where its supposed to be though? I mean I can advance and retard the...

ok I have purchased the timing light and now im getting somewhere. I marked the pulley at tdc with white out and im turning the car over then pulling out the distributor, rotating the gear teeth a little and putting it back in. I have done this a good 9 or 10 times. A couple times the engine...

yea im about to go buy a timing light. The car cranks strong so I dont think the starter would be the problem?

My 1990 1.8l will not run for some crazy reason. Ive looked through every old thread with similar problems and they all seem to not be answered or the poster overlooked a part.My fuel pump turns on, my injectors pulse, the plugs smell of gas, I can see fuel vapor in the chamber. I have tried...

Im really sorry to bring back my old thread but I didnt want to start a new one on the same subject and Im out of ideas. Current update with the car I now have a good used ecu with the exact same serial number. I swapped it in and now the injectors are finally pulsing and no cel. Yet the car...

I second that they are non interference just swap the belt. :thumb:

TSImonster I personally have noticed some overheating and I have the stock fans and radiator. Could be completely normal or something else but from what I remember my temp bar never went above half, now im riding at 3/4 most of the time. Sounds like not enough air to radiator? I havent read...

Did I mention this intercooler kicks ass?

Yea I agree, looks just like the fuel pump check connector. Curious though how exactly that would be used to empty the tank?

Well I thought of trimming the fan shroud but even then it would have to be a realllly sharp bend to come back and mate with the turbo. I ended up fabbing something up and going underneath. It is pretty low and measures 3.5" off the ground but then again so does my entire catback and I havnt...

Thanks everyone for suggesting ways to make it fit with the power steering lines. That worm clamp is a great idea, I ended up just using a couple zipties and thanks raph for the detailed drawing to give me another idea and help me out. It also now seems part of the licp seems to be really close...

alright ill give that a go, it just seems like they would have to be flexed pretty hard

I was wondering if someone could help me out with the install. What exactly are you supposed to do with the power steering lines? On most the installs ive read people have just pushed or ziptied them back but theres no way that would work for me. The side tabs on the intercooler are supposed to...
