I've noticed it since I came back from overseas in August. (car sat in garage for 9ish months) Swapped the 17" Konigs that were on it for 18" Evo BBS with brand new Continental ECS at end of August. Installed SPC upper control arms with Ingalls adjustable ball joints (yes I found a pair) about 3...

I replaced my trans/t-case/rear diff fluids all around the same time in July last year. Filled the rear diff with Redline 75W90. Used new copper gaskets on the fill/drain plugs.Que to last night, I had just fixed my rad fan issue and pulled the car out to cruise it around the block since it...

So when I first bought this car last year around May, it drove home fine. Built boost and pulled hard. I pretty much tore it down from there as I saw a lot of crap I wanted to replace I wasn't ok with. Compression test last July came back good. It's a 2.3 stroker, but numbers were 160 across the...

So question... is it possible for crankcase pressure to be the sole culprit of a leaky valve cover and possibly oil pan?(may or may not be the problem) When I first fired it up yesterday I had a bad issue with oil leaking from a few spots where bolts were not tightened down all the way(threads...

AZDSM submitted a new DSM Profile :96 TSi AWDRead more about this vehicle here...

I feel like such an idiot for never really noticing this when I had this work done several months ago. I'm sure I saw it, but it just didn't click with me. Probably too excited over how cool it looked. The place specializes in automotive parts, but yeah. Obviously little to no masking was done...

So after getting the sunroof fixed and getting parts to finish it up, I test fit the weatherstripping... low and behold it doesn't appear to fit.This is off another 2G Eclipse that I essentially got for free from buying other parts. The original weatherstripping was glued shut because...

Had to replace one cable as it snapped in half and wouldn't allow the sunroof to retract fully. So I decided to replace the other side while I had the headliner and all that crap off.Low and behold, I go and snap that little plastic piece that holds the end of the cable...

This has been throwing me off as they have differences, but the only noticable one I can see is the hole for the side motor mount. I have a 6-bolt bottom end with a 2g head, but the 2g cover(2nd link) LOOKS like the correct one based on visually comparing it with my engine.STM: OEM...

It has been a while since I've done any real car part shopping so bare with me. Doing a quick google search landed me on carid.com and it actually looks like a fairly reputable site with the large stock of everything they have.I have a 96 TSi AWD but it has a 6 bolt swap. I'm not completely...

96 talon tsi/eclipse gsxThat sums up the car pretty well. I met with the guy weeks ago and looked over the car quite a bit. Having an RS for 8 years and part of the club back in AZ has made me a bit of a nut when it comes to the small things. However, this is my first boosted car, so there...

So I bought a temporary replacment deck a number of months ago because my Dual head unit crapped out. Well I had problems with my amp and sub for a while and didn't have it connected until a week or so ago after I replaced my battery when I left the door ajar one night and drained it for good...

Alright so here is the problem, these power slot or power stop rotors I've had for over a year now have warped on me twice. The first time I resurfaced the rotors, the guide pins were mixed up which caused uneven wear on the pads(that was a my-bad). The 2nd time I resurfaced them was some time...

Ok, so for a number of months I've had problems at the pumps. I had originally thought it was the pump I went to, so I went to another one to find the same thing happening. Every once in a while I've had luck at high pressure handles that don't disengage on me, but for the most part I get about...
