I just found out that the exhaust leak I've been hearing is in my front pipe. I have a 96 Spyder GS and the part is well over 300. Anyone know if I can use a part from a hardtop or from a galant with a 2.4? Having trouble researching on my own.

Okay, so I bought a Spyder over the winter and I have been slowly fixing the previous owners screw ups- drywall screws holding parts of the top together, super glue holding the headliner up, etc, etc.I am now stuck at a pretty screwed up point. The mirrors that the car came with were messed...

Tomorrow morning after it stops raining, I'm going to go take a couple of pictures to compare that to.So there should be SOMETHING attatched to that bar? there's nothing attatching it to my roof other than the fabric it runs through on my car.

Okay, so I have a 1996 Spyder GS that I picked up back over the winter.The weather in michigan just got to the point where I can finally start taking the top down, and today I notice something- the cross bar that is directly above the driver\passanger seat is not only bent, but no longer...

I've had a skipped title thing happen a few times. Wasn't a big deal, as most of the women at the sec of state around here could give a rats ass, you could show up with a bill of sale saying you got it for 2 cases of bud lite and a sexual service and they'd just throw a fifty dollar tax and send...

There is always the varitable carrot being dangled before us all with the prospective Live Action Star Wars series that is supposed to come along sometime this year....

As compaired to what?From what I know, Ford and Mazda charge the same in terms of labor for work done- so that can't be it. Which is actually one of the cheapest labor prices in the industry (Chevy does beat Ford\Mazda prices on most services though.)Looking at a lot of standard maint...

What's the problem with Mazda's?The Equinox Sport is just a performance version of the Chevy Equinox. Not the fastest or most nimble, but it's a good size, 265hp with a good number of possible mods, has a shiftable 6-spd automatic, and does 0-60 in less than 7 (not much slower than the...

Have you thought about a Mazdaspeed3? GTI? Equinox Sport? There are a ton of options, test drive a few more before you get stuck on the CaliberBoth of the kids that live downstairs from me work at a Dodge dealership just down the road from here and they are always ragging on the new SRT-4's...

Everyone likes the 2gb look, and so many people have done it that this right here is a pretty sweet, unique look. I've never really seen too many 2ga's with lips on 'em, and the one's that I've seen were pretty gastly... this one is actually really sharp. I just ordered one to slap on my Spyder

Does anyone in Southeast Michigan have a parts car that they wouldn't mind me coming to pull a few parts off of? There are a handful of parts that I need within the next couple of weeks and am trying to avoid going to the salvage yard and getting raped. I just need like, a trunk release lever...

So I'm starting to work out all of the kinks on my new Spyder, and this one has been bugging me the most. The latch that pops my trunk\gas door in my car is stuck in the open position for both of them. I haven't really had a whole lot of time to take a look at it.. but really, how hard of a part...

Where did you get the lip at? I've been looking for one for a couple of months now

I'm just looking for a pair of plain old no power no nothing mirrors. Just regular run of the mill mirrors.Looks like I'm going to go salvage yard hunting.

high five for that being michigan starting on the 20th of this month.I have crohn's as well, and unfortunately due to some serious complications during my last surgery (they severed a handful of nerves and some connective tissue in my back with a slip of a scalpel :notgood:) my lower back is...

Okay- I know this is prob. a stupid question, but I recently purchased a 96 Spyder and the kid who owned it before me put these HORRIBLE looking mirrors on it (crap Ebay M3 replicas with horribly warped up mirrors and just... bleh) and I need to replace them a.s.a.p. Finding Spyder parts has...

Man, that's a bummer. Here I am thinking back to the old days of chillin out in someones garage with a couple of cases of beer wrenching on whoevers car with some lousy CD in just shootin the shit....

So are there any DSMers or groups that get together with any regularity in southeast Michigan?I've just recently gotten back into the game and as all of my former DSM buddies have either moved on or spread out to the four winds, I'm on the hunt to get together with a few guys (or girls) and...

Maint. is all taken care of. Literally two weeks before purchase, the car was completely done over with new harmonic balance, belts and water pump, radiator flush, tranny flush and fresh bleed on the clutch, oil change, new plugs, wires, and all that. As for good rubber- I have a set of Nitto's...

If I decide to turbo (which I will be) I will most definately be going for the 4g63 head swap. No sense in turboing when the head will all of a sudden become the most constricting part of the build- which will result in me tearing it down and swapping anyways....Anything worth doing is worth...

So I am happy to say that I am once again back in the game. After 5 years running in the Toyota\Lexus Scene, I sold my IS for a sizable profit, and have turned around and bought a 2004 Eternal Blue Pearl Honda Civic EX Sedan as my daily driver and a 1996 Eclipse Spyder GS.I did pay a little...

What would you guys say is a nice, cheap starter bike? I don't want to get some cheesy ugly 80's honda or anything like that- but a decent looking bike to learn on and be happy with until I can get a few grand toether for a new bike.Also- is there a website out there similar to autotrader...

Alright- I used to think I was a pretty decent computer geek, guess I'm not.I've been using WOW cable\internet for a few years since comcast service was being sketchy at my old place. I just recently moved and the complex that I'm living in is a Comast only place. So- was forced into it...

We bought our first Ipod off of Ebay and the battery was defunct. Returned it as not-as-seller-described and tried again only to get one that had no backlight and a half dead screen. I don't trust ebay for electronics unless they're labled as New.Doing the research, it's roughly the same...

Alright, so my fiance just trashed her ipod. The motherboard and the hard drive are toast.I pulled the thing apart, and as far as I can tell an Ipod is only a handful of simple components- Motherboard, hard drive, battery, screen, case.The screen still works, the click wheel wasn't...

Alright- sorry, someone said something about the lack of mono-toned 1g'swas just commenting that my 1g was mono-toned and not two-toned

my talon is all black

Is there a problem with the engine that you have that would require you to swap out the old engine?Do a compression check and see how she's looking across the line. If there's nothing wrong with it, don't fix it.If you do come across another engine- do you want to build it up in order to...

I daily drive either a 2002 IS 300 or 2000 Wrangler

Not much?210 hp @ 7800 RPMThen you figure that it's going into a 2500 lb car (that's 700 lb lighter than a GSX, 400 lighter than a GS-T) and.... yeah.Toss on only a handful of mild mods and you're looking at some killer track times.I might love my 4g63, but there are just some...

So we bought her a SRT-4.She's been bitten by the mod bug.She went crazy, buying a new exhaust, intake, intercooler, and a few other odds and ends- almost 1200 bucks to date. WTF WTF WTFWe just checked our bank account today, and realized we don't have enough money for rent this...

DEEEE-TROIT-BASKET-BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!We're gunna take it. The Cavs have some young talent, but we've got the experience and the brute force.I mean hell- who can take on 'Sheed and Big Ben? NO ONE!

Damn- how much you pay her, bro?But yeah man- we need to know... did ya do the deed? Didja bust a nut in her butt?

If you beat on ANY car things are going to break. These cars are meant to be driven, yeah, but if you beat on them and drive them like an idiot (1st gear drops, burn outs, etc.) yo're going to break stuff.I've never heard of any problems with the tranny on the SRT-4. I'm now a proud member...

I've done that in the past- up to 12k.My fiance on the other hand isn't exactly... smart with her money. lol. Go figure?But anywho- we went and bought a Yellow SRT-4 for her. 2004 with 16k on the clock. 16.5k total all said and done. We're paying 276 a month after trading in a damn...

What kind of car payments do you guys pull? How much did you put down?Be it your DSM or whatever.The fiance wants an SRT-4 since a drunk driver took her cav out (it was parked and she was in a store thank God) and I'm just wonderin around on what people are payin.

I've been stuck on a few MMORPG's lately (massively multiplayer online roleplaying games for the uninformed)... Guild Wars and World of Warcraft have my attention right now... Guild wars doesn't have a monthly fee if that bugs you....I just picked up Dungeons and Dragons Online, haven't got...

Bought another one for a beater. My neighbor had it sitting in his garage for about a year and a half with a dead head gasket, I bought it off of him for 500 bucks, put a new hg on it, and ta-da... parts getter, beater, car for loan, eventual profit for future mods. My old one was one of the POS...

Alright folks, I'm having some serious issues with my 1996 Dodge Avenger. Today I finally got it back up and running and now I have a whole new issue. My headlights won't come on. I know that these things are very similar to our 2gnts in terms of pretty much everything from the dashboard...

Just kind of an FYI- the Venge\Bring share something like 60% parts with the 2g T\E. Interior, electronics, halfshafts, the entire suspension system, doors, etc.There are DSM plates\tags on a lot of their parts (i laughed when I pulled my OEM 'Venger wheels off and saw DSM all over 'em). But...

oh damn.... I don't care if it's a repost... that's funny shit

Alright- this is crazy... checking the boards for the first time since I got home from Cali... I totally saw your car chillin on the side of the 5 while you were waiting for the tow truck... I shed a tear and later that night toasted a hit of sake to your downed DSM....Any word on the asshat...
