thank you so much for the pics... i might do this tuesday. i never did seafoam so i appricate the pics alot.i do have a question for you though. does it suck up the whole amount? does it shut off after sucking it in? race it like hell after waiting 15 mins?
which plugs/ wires would you recommend for a slightly tuned 420a?also which type of gas should i use. i like premium cause its does better mileage but with prices the way they are im reconsidering
i know we have all seen the articles on lucas:beatentodeath: but a friend of mine gave me this one site and i just noticed something when looking at it again. hes using one for synthetic and the other one is regular lucas for conventional oil, not synthetic version...
my timing belt broke off when i was driving and the engine itself had 106,000 miles. so we got another head gasket with all the fillers, water pump and new belts and oil changed. but my mechanic got a used head gasket(warranty only covered used head) and cleaned it off and put the used head(and...

great news....the head gasket busted with all valves bent. possibly cylinder heads damaged. but warranty is going to cover 80% of charges. the total estimate of it being put to together is 1600 dollars estimate. and im going to pay about 500 dollars total estimate.we worked hard and...
ive done ps and alternator belt... ps belt broke 2 weeks ago
ive done tires
i done thermostat
i have to do brakes soon
and possibly a new clutch since its hard to shift sometimes
and possibly the sparkplugs and wires just because i wanted tothere were no symptoms of it breaking. gas was...
well found out what it was unfortunatly...timing belt ripped off... bought the car in may and now this happens.hopefully warranty covered the damage because me putting so much repairs in this car. i think this will be my last eclipse till i buy it brand new. eclipses need alot of repairs
the engine failed then the battery failed, and i dont know if it was the belt cause i didnt check but i dont think it was because it failed uphill without a snap. just when from a high pitch to low like a small whistle, thats how it died
remember the belts snapping off.... now the engine may have killed itself last night.i was driving 60 on a hill and all of a sudden it from a high noise to a low noise. power steering went out and battery killed itself in an hour.car wont crank and im just having the worst month, and oil...
driving 70mph on the highway and my power steering belt came off...1. any damage to engine?
2. any damage at all?
3. how much to fix?and the worse problem is my car is warranteed but the belts arent but i bought it 3 months ago and noone wants to fix it
so i can drive 100 or even 80 MPH on 50 miles a day and it wont matter for conventional castrol GTX.someone told me ill get wear in the engine and will damage like metal in the motor, loss of compression, less HP and torque and gas mileage
ok... i need something secure and works. i need a metal short ram air intake hose that actully fits. the one i bought barely fits and will only work with duct tape. any good recommendations
no it didnt fall off, the rubber hose keeps kicking off the rubber on the K&N so i cant get it to work right unless i get a metal one. the metal one that i got was an APC one and i didnt fit. im looking to see if i need a metal one and if i do, where should i look for one so this can fit.
ok so i have a new problem... i went to advance and bought an air hose from APC but it doesnt fit right because the battery is on the way. has anyone had luck with stainless steel airhoses less then 150 dollars, looking for short ram on non turbo eclipse
today my air filter fell off, and i know its been the entire day and probably last night. driven over 150 miles today and its possible it fell off in anytime at that period. my question is do you believe there might be damage to the engine?
this car was beautiful till i scraped it earlier this evening. now theres a white line on the sideskirt from scraping the sidewalk, any recommendations?
i know this is 420a thread but this is where i usually turn to as well. please help, im crying at the loss of my baby's beauty:cry:
i did an oil change with 1 bottle of lucas and 4 quarts of castrol. is it bad(first time on the eclipse)
AND
its been cold here in the northeast. time to warm up the cars now, but i have a problem, not only does it take 10-15mins to warm up, but when i drive it, the needle go down colder. is...
i think this guy will give me his engine for 200-300 i think but its a 92 GST engine with turbo and intercooler. 6 bolt and everything. should i get it?
yeah when i started the car this morning. it sputtered. turned it off and did it again but now it fixed itself i guess. so sometimes humidity and heat will put water in your intake
182 in half a tank
idle near 800
:tease: feels great for an old fart
anything i should look at so it can go 200,000 milesi posted the pic in another threat but this is another question
its cheaper to really get it from the junkyard. thats what i did with my 92 eclipse. but instead i bought the engine from pull and save in PA(look it up online) and got a turbo engine. then went to a engine place and had them refinish and polish it. worked like heaven, till i needed a turbo. all...
lol i saw you guys at red robin and wondered about that. i should have came by. yeah i went. got like 165 pictures from there and if you saw the red NT eclipse on the sidewalk, he told me he spent 50g's on that car and never f'ing drives it
