Thanks for the response. I know its a risk however I wouldn't consider it a complete loss if say I get the motor in the car and there's a problem and say I need to repull and do a rebuild of the bottom end or something like that. I guess I'd be interested in what price number you guys feel...

Hey guys looking for some opinions/advice. I have a garage car that I drive less than 1000 miles a year and i'm going to be building the motor and going turbo here in the next few months. I was about ready to buy my internals when I ran across this on local craigslist...

Ok so after about 5 hours of adjustments to try to get my jeep TB working i'm almost there. I added the second spring as alot of people have done. However when i hit the gas peddle medium/hard force the car shudders and almost dies before it revs up. I have to VERY gently apply thottle in...

I took apart my whole intake and coolant system to rebuild and modify and that was a month ago and I have 2 pieces I don't know what they are...First, trying to figure out what this bracket is I think it was around the battery area but can't remember.Second, is this tube. I know it used to...

Ok so last question still waiting on the last lower hose to arrive at Napa. I need to connect 2 rad hoses together bit the parts store didn't have a small enough exhaust pipe to seam the hoses together. In the write up bullet uses a cut off piece of water pipe but I dont have any. Any...

Ok I'll grab another fan thanks for the tip makes sense on why.

Ok good to know as i said the 4g63 guys have alot of info but na guys not much. I guess i will go single fan and 195 tstat and see if it goes hot under ac i will try 180 tstat first and if still bad add a second fan. U turbo guys can run ALOT hotter engine bays then us na guys

Yes I know all that what i'm saying is with a smaller rad and less capacity might it not be better for me to run a 180 t stat vs the stock or recommended 195 because in case i get into a situation where i'm exceeding the cooling capacity of the rad i'm averaging closer to the 180* vs. the 195*...

Good to know but don't you 4g63 guys run 180* thermo's?

Ok so cant find much on this topic for the 420a. Doing a cooling system rebuild on my car getting most of the parts replaced or fixed. I am doing a Honda Half Radiator with a single slim fan. This is not my DD it is a garage queen that I just drive in the summer on the weekends maybe 500-1000...

I'm rebuilding/repainting the entire coolant system so every gasket, hose, and clamp is brand new.

Thanks. Must have looked at that SOB for an hour trying to figure it out. Just went back out to the garage after reading your post and found the mount in half a second. couldn't see it under the pipe haha.

Ok i have searched and cant firgure it out. Doing a little painting and cleaning in the engine bay. The hard pipe that comes out of the water pump can it be removed without pullling the water pump? I just want to pull it paint it and put a new o ring in but cannot figure out how to pull it and...

Huge difference with the raammat. Its more than worth doing. Its a 12" sub, i usually prefer 10's but the size of the sub doesn't matter as much as the total surface area of the sub(s) is what is louder and deeper the bigger the surface area. I wanted just one 10 but this is a fantastic sub...

why not just do it yourself for a fraction of the cost? Huge difference in the sound deadening. But i have it on the outside skins and over the interior as well, roof doors hatch behind the dash, floor, everywhere there some. Its a single 12". I prefer 10's personally but if your box it...

Thanks bro. Good luck with the build. Its a b making a false floor for the back of these cars. Believe me I know this is the third one I've done. I only drive this car about 500 miles a year so I don't care about spare tires and storage like DD guys do. I'm all about reliability and comfort.

Thanks for noticing. It looked like hell with that indent and I could care less about advertising the wheel model. My car is all about clean. Thanks for all the good words guys.

Yup. Paint doesn't cure in 24 hours. 2k paint needs at least a month to 90 days to cure out, otherwise some of the chemicals are still rising to the surface and if it is sealed or waxed it can start causing bubbling and other problems since it isn't fully cured.And yes the spray max 2k...

make sure it runs on the opposite side of the rca's and speaker wires as well. Speaker/rca down the drivers side and power down the passenger works best for lessening interference.

Ok so I figured I'd create a little post about my wheel refinishing in case any one was curious on how to do it. Picked up a set of Motegi Mr7's for about $150 from a junk yard a few months ago. Don't especially like the wheels but theres nothing out there made right now that I like new, so i...

Yes plex is great as well, although when i tried it on my server i was having some handshaking issues and wasn't as impressed with the program as a media center as I was with xbmc. The one thing plex offered that was great was the ability to stream everythign to my phone and tablet which would...

Yes you do. Ludachris not sure why you couldn't find it. Since its all open source it can take some getting use to and you have to be semi "techy" to figure it out which i'm sure you are since you run a forum.https://code.google.com/p/xbmc-development-with-passion/wiki/SportsDevil...

Cut the cord over a year ago. I still watch every sporting event, movie, & tv show i want just with a internet connection.Look into XBMC it will blow your mind. I have a central server in my home and 2 rasberry Pi's and 1 mini pc and I can stream all my movies and music to the rasberry pi's...

I didn't see these. Can you post a link? Frickin a I just replaced mine all around when i rebuilt my suspension and bought the napa ones and it ran me like $160 for all four and they are just a stock replacement. I wish I knew these were out there, would have been cheaper too.

Yup you are pretty much spot on there. The networks on the 80prs work different than you would think, each network is not for each speaker. There are actualy 4 networks on the 80 prs but it really can only do a 2.1 active setup. On pioneers website they have alot of videos on the operation...

Good sub watch it though because those I believe are only a single voice coil if i remember right. I used to have 4 of those in my 350z running off 2 JL 1000/1's that thing it so hard it seriously hurt your head and friends would scream to turn it down.If those are a single voice coil you...

What model JL 10? I have a w1v2 in my truck, ehhhh its ok. I like w3's. I was going to go with one but freaking got this id12 at a great price. Look at image dynamics ID10 they are good price and a pretty musical sub. The JLw3 is fantastic though, been a good solid sub for a long time...

Don't use those speakers in the dash just get a regular tweet, it will be fine, you don't want a 2-way speaker up in the dash, just get a dedicated tweet.Try to return that sub. Kicker sucks, its not a sound quality sub. And i would suggest going at least 2 8's or a single 10" A single 8...

Overall its great, confusing to figure out because there is so many options. No I tdont have it all tuned and dialed in. The components need about 10 hours of break in before I'm going to seriously start tuning it. So far they only had about 30 minutes of play time on them, seeing as I drive...

Bad location for imaging. Either in the dash or preferrably the little sail panel by the window. You want them higher so it raises the sound stage more. That way it sounds like the music is at eye level rather than at your knees.

Go with only 4 speakers up front 2 tweets in the dash (not the best but the easiest) or in the sail panels if you can fit them with a fiberglass mount. Then 6.5" midbass in the door in a stock location and my your own MDF baffles to mount the speakers to the door to make it solid. then just a...

Thanks. The best thing is the entire top is removable. I have concealed clips holding it down, 4 on each panel and it pops right up if i need to change anything or make adjustments.No speakers in back, no point, they make it sound worse than better from a sound quality standpoint. I'm not...

Well you could get a bigger amp or a amp with cleaner output so you can turn the volume up before it starts clipping. If you are running off a HU for power then you really need an amp for sure to start. Then use sound deadener to seal the outside and inside of your doors. My doors are now...

No I don't have the infinity system but doesn't matter always run new better wire than stock. I'm running 16 gauage that has some pretty darn thick insulation on it from knukonceptz. Finished the build will post pics tonight

Its been a while probably around a year since i installed it. I ordered the kit with raammat and ensolite and i remember i bought two kits and then another few yards of ensolite. But i honestly went WAYYYYY overboard on the stuff just to make sure. I didn't want to ever hope I had used more...

I have used the carpet padding before, didn't like it, if water gets in (which in my case it did) it was a disaster and took days to dry out. The ensolite was actually much more effective than I thought. I have 1 full layer of Raammat on all the metal floor to ceiling, and 1.5-2 layers of...

OK so I'm a car audio freak, always have been, now the eclipse is really not ideal for sound quality which I am a fan of but i'm a DSM guy and my project car was always going to be an eclipse. This project consists of a complete interior remodel, all dyed panels black, new racing seats, new...

oops please delete

oops again please delte

Except i have all new bushings... I understand something could be slightly bent, just curious is alot of people with lowered dsms, have issue with it only having a limited adjustability or is there ALOT of adjustability in the them. I was able to adjust about 3/16" and that was it, there was...

Resurrection time.I like this thread it needs to get better. This is my second DSM. First one was lowered way too much by Jtoby standards, but it was for looks only, this one i'm trying to do things correctly, as i'm "old" now in comparison and don't care what other people think and I want...

Ok got it figured out. Thanks for the beveled edge tip as I got to thinking. When i took a closer look there are very small bevels on one side of the hole, I hadn't noticed them before as you could barely see them. I filed these down a bit more and made sure to ONLY insert from this side and...

Good idea. I will try filing the edge of the knuckle holes down and kinda ramp them a bit to help that lip sqeeze in. As of now its too tight to take a screw drive to push the lip in, it just does NOT want to go in that hole. I'd be open to any other ideas people have. Thanks.

OK pic is below. The bushing is sitting on top of the spot its supposed to go in. There are three of these on this knuckle that are the same size. So far i have done probably 10 of the bushings on the car and none of them have been more than 5 minutes to press in, but this one i just cannot...

Yes i cut the sleeve out. And yes i tried with a screw driver to push the flange in because i've had to do that on a few of them on the front. This SOB just will not go in there. I was surprised that I couldn't find any info on this because I figured everyone had this problem, but i guess...

Hoping for some help here. I've been working on a complete suspension rebuild this winter and I got the front completed now I am doing the first side of the rear. I've been installing the ES master Bushing kit. The front went fine, pretty easy, especially since i have a press and alot of...

Me thinks its not. Why you choose to post of picture only from that view of the car when the vinyl is puzzling.... Hater.

Just for future searches, got my replacement at NAPA, nearly exact to the OEM, around $14-16 dollars, they had to order it but it was in the next day. Don't remember the part number and threw the box away.

looks good to me dont know if your numbers are right but its pretty obvious which ones go where.
