call me old fashion but I still use ftp. :D

Most stereos come with adapter plates so you can use the original mount. I think they are called J plate adapters. I use them everytime. Those stupid baskets are a thiefs best friend. The only down fall is if you do get hit by thieves and they can't get the stereo out they may trash the...

I got the same exhaust, I figured at that price I could cut the muffler off and replace it if I didn't like the sound. I was pleasantly surprised. It sounds pretty good. I only have one issue, it had some clearance problems around the rear crossmember, that last flange was rattling against...

Since you didn't upgrade the fuel pump you will probably blow the engine. Also check the site FAQ, rule 5 last paragraph:No "bench racing". Bench racing is defined as posting hypothetical questions to try and see how fast or how powerful your car is, or will be. If you want to know what...

That post cracked me up cause it is right above one of those silly colored signatures you guys made.

Thanks for the help, I was really wanting some pictures up close with the door open. Basically showing how/where the skirt meets the body of the car in the door jam or whatever.I think that mine could have been done better. The door caps are rubbing the paint off in a couple places...

Then my guess would be that the sensor is not getting warm enough. I live in Texas and my sensor sometimes has a issue with being warm enough. How cold is it in NJ?

Then it may be that your O2 sensor is reaching its end of life and needs to be replaced.I have read that regular O2 sensors (unlike wideband) are difficult to keep at operating temperature. Many times when idling the temperature drops enough to keep the O2 sensor from functioning. Try...

Someone correct me if I am wrong but it may depend on if the O2 sensor is heated or not.If your O2 sensor isn't warm enough it won't read correctly.

Of the birds, 4 left.1 stayed (although no longer perched).

I am new to the whole weight saving thing, is 22 pounds really that much in the great scheme of things? How much will that save in the quarter, thousandth maybe hundreth of a second?I thought carbon fiber hoods for the mainstream was more for the look/style. I think it looks fine. I never...

I wonder how many more people are going to drop into this thread to talk you out of bedding your pads and seasoning your rotor. :rolleyes:

From what I have been told by various mechanics, the inner pad will wear faster than the outer pad.As far as them not touching the rotor at all on the outer pad I can't help ya. Who has bled them, you or a mechanic? Have you ever had the system completely flushed?

The Palm can be cheap if you buy an older model. I have a IIIxe that I used, cost me 30 bucks, hotsync cable on line was 15 or so. Wasn't color and all that jazz but it logged data and allowed me to check and clear CELs.**** edit: If you are worried about price, think of it this...

the award-winning Purge Cloud LED Light (winner of the 2003 SEMA Show Best New Performance-Street Product award)So SEMA thinks this device is a performance-street product, lame.

If it helps, When I put my Baer kit on I had new rotors and pads and bedded them all at the same time. I had no issues.

No help?That's ok, saw a convertible today and asked them to see how the ground effects met the sill and mine come much farther into the door sill than the stockers. Now I need to figure out the best way to fix it.

I have the dual projectors and after taking them apart, cleaning them really good, and adjusting them, I finally have them working good. Better than stock.

I would like to see how others have mounted their skirts along the door sill. I have added door caps and it is rubbing my side skirts in a couple places. I am looking for ideas on how to redo the skirt to give more clearance. The other alternative is to shim up the door.Any...

Do you have the hotsync manager running in the tray (circle with blue and red arrows)? I have hotsync manager 4.1 and if you left click it the top choice is local USB.

If you go to the verizon website they give a 50 dollar online discount I believe.I threw in the idea on getting a free phone as another alternative.Just go to the website and see what they offer, from what I am looking at the Audiovox phone is 129.99 retail with 50 dollar discount it...

I can't believe you lost your phone, had no insurance, and was mad that they were charging you for a new phone.Anyway, they will probably swap your ESN to any phone as long as it doesn't come up stolen.If you want a free phone you might try calling their customer service department and...

Audiovox CDM8910 has camera with flash and zoom and speaker phone. LG VX6100 alsogo to verizonwireless.com, choose products/phones and sort the list.

Did you have insurance on your phone?

Yup, serious. There was a TSB for it on the 95 AWDs:96-35-001 JAN 96 Rear Disc Brake/Proportioning Valve - RevisionAnyway, if you follow the hardlines from the master cylinder or booster you should find it. On my 1997 RS it is on the firewall. It basically controls how...

Did you check the proportioning valve?

I learned on a standard, my parents learned on a standard.Go to an empty parking lot and take your time. I doubt stalling it will damage the engine. Slipping the clutch too much will wear the clutch and revving it high and dumping the clutch is not good, but consider this though, how many...

I have tried the pocketlogger cable with 2 or 3 other shareware or freeware programs and it doesn't work. I sometimes wish I had bought a regular cable and used freeware/shareware, pocketlogger may charge for the next software update as well. I like 2.0 and what was added but I would also like...

Yes they do. Bulbs probably burnt out.You can pop them out from behind or very carefully prying at them with a screwdriver, very easy to do.

First, take the ashtray out and back the adjusting nut all the way to where it is flush with the end of the bolt.Take the wheel off and rotate the axle until the grommet is at the bottom of the rotor hat. Then using a flashlight and looking thru the hole where the grommet was you will...

The differences will depend on the packages added. I have an RS that came with power everything and a spoiler. Someone posted earlier that their RS had a sunroof. So there doesn't seem to be a simple answer as to what the GS has that the RS doesn't unless you were looking for what is listed...

Thanks for the compliment, I was thinking about taking off the stickers but I am afraid the paint under them won't match, 8 yr old paint. I also think it helps stop people from trying to race me all the time, at least the people who know that RSs are slow.

I think the latest on Hahn's website said they coaxed 506 WHP from an Eclipse RS.

You can check out my gallery....http://www.dsmtuners.com/gallery/showgallery.php?mcats=all&si=&what=allfields&name=dont%20need%208&when=&whenterm=

Jasper might, they sell remanufactured and race engines.

If the AC light is blinking it means that there is a problem with the compressor. Check the belts and connections, have the compressor tested. It may also be low on refridgerant.

I replaced the rears on my RS and couldn't tell a difference. I made sure to put the left on left and right on right anyway though, just in case.

Here's my contribution:

yeah, pull out the drink holder/ash tray piece from the center console and you will see the adjustment point, release the break handle and tighten the nut.

It would be safer for you to search for your answer then. I do not know turbos yet but a quick search for evo+16g+power gave me:http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=137365&highlight=Evo+16g+powersearch for evo16g gave me...

Most people I know use MDF - medium density fiber board. 3/4 inch thick is what I have used in the past.

Door caps, also called door garnish in the mitsu parts book, are trim piece that are mounted to the bottom of the door to help smooth the transition to the side skirts.

Elmo sings and dances better. He may also have a larger overall fan base.

Uh, I think bench racing is frowned on.Edit - My own response is frowned upon, so instead of I think, I know : No "bench racing". Bench racing is defined as posting hypothetical questions to try and see how fast or how powerful your car is, or will be. If you want to know what time to expect...

I hear ya and I know what you mean, if I drop below 5-10 mph in my car second is a dog. Important thing is to learn your engine and gearing and the limitations. If you need to go slow in parking lots I can almost idle in 1st and run 5 mph without killing it, just blip the accelerator every...

Since it is your first standard tranny you need to learn to rev match and double clutch. I can put my RS in first at a roll, just be very careful when downshifting, have a good idea of the top speed for each gear. When turning left at an intersection I can usually leave it in third and have...
