98 Eclipse Spyder GS So I am in the process of putting my spyder back together with hopes of selling it. Everything worked fine when I parked it last summer. Issues: No power to convertible top. No power windows/locks Tach lights work fine ****When I rev the motor high, parked idling, the...

Looks good. Any angle shots with light directly on it?

Looks GREAT!

Thanks man good info. I was thinking people post nice shots and list their equipment and camera settings.

Hey guys and girls name is Michael. I just want to start a thread basically to get all serious photographers together to maybe share some tips and tricks when getting certain shots. For example posting pictures and camera settings. I currently have a Rebel T2i and still am trying to learn...

My vote would have to be the Subys. I don't see Honda's as even being relevant besides the fact that the majority of the population owns them. To me the rival would have to share some of the same characteristics....AWD/Turbo/ETC.

Make sure your no bumping into any bolts under the headlight...do bumper first then re install your headlights.

Alright thanks nice and clear. lol

I have a Fidanza flywheel PP and disc...now extremepsi only sells the ACT alignment tool. So my question is can I use the Act tool with my kit?

Well I bought a Fidanza kit off a friend now I am ordering parts. Quick question can I use an Act alignment tool for this job? (are they all the same) Or do I need to order a Fidanza alignment tool?

For some reason for my car I think it will look ugly to much red unless I do like a CF overlay.

Belongs in the ocean. EPIC FAIL.

Anyone have a picture of a red 2g with the center piece painted red but with original corners? Last post I like how the eclipse lettering came out.

Thanks for the input guys. Both fans kick in strong and I dont know about the disappearing of coolant just being low because I will literally pour it in to full and within a couple hours its bone dry. I hope it's just a bad T-Stat because I dont see any leakage near the water pump....also I'm...

So basically I have a 98 Spyder NT. Car has been running mint and after a hard pull I noticed it now it overheats to the red line. The car does not feel as if it loses power when over heating but after a certain time and temperature coolant starts shooting out of the coolant reservoir....prior...

Quick newb question can I use the alternator from my gsx on my gs spyder they look identical?

Any recent reviews on the Act clutches lately? What clutches are working for people?

Not trying to hi jack your thread but would gst or gs suspension work on a gs?

Just wanted to double check seeing how I still think my smoke was coming from the oil that was left in the exhaust when it my car broke down.Now I've narrowed it down to the oil in the exhaust or bad piston rings. I'm in the process of removing my stock exhaust and installing my new 3" Apex...

I currently have NGK br6s with OEM wires.

Yea my brother has some NGKs in his his 1g I will try those, are the wires the same if his car is a 1g NT?

Hm...sounds good thanks for the advice. Would you guys recommend going with the 190 or 250 seeing how eventually a long time down the road lol I MIGHT do the 16g. I'm getting a 250 for 40bucks used with no more than 10k miles on it....what you think?

Well eventually the biggest turbo I'll go with will be the 16g, I currently have 3 inch apex exhaust kit, tubular headers, Act2100 street disc OEM flywheel, Tokico blues and springs, Greddy FMIC, Greddy RS bov, SAFC....I think that's about it.

So maybe the 190 with the 450s and the 250 with 550s and up?

Thanks for the advice fellas. I apologize for not being completely clear in my OP. Ok what I want to do is see the best numbers I can get out of a 14b and stock motor. Meaning Im not looking to upgrade turbos or build the internals of the 4g63. I want to see the full potential of the 14b. I have...

When I pulled of the wire it had spark, all 4 wires had spark. Just when I took the spark plug out of cylinder number 4 it did not affect the motor what so ever. Every other cylinder it did.

Thanks for all the info I actually might be picking up a 255 and some injectors in a trade. My project is to only work with a 14b. I'm not looking to upgrade turbos.

I don;t think its the coil pack, it's a new coil pack but I'll check...thanks. But do you think off timing would result in that?

Well I finally drove my car today felt kind of weak so I check to see if I was getting spark in all 4 cylinders. I removed each spark plug one by one and the only time the motor DIDNT hesitate was when I remove the spark plug to cylinder 4. What do you guys think it?

Well I want to run 12s and still have a steady DD. I was thinking of going with this setup what do you guys think?14b 255 FP SAFC AFPR 450cc injectors Data logger widebandI have a 2g GSX with Greddy FMIC and Greddy RS bov.

Hey I have a 1g bov sitting around need to check if its crushed or not but it's yours if you want to buy it.

Congrats man, good work.

Lol Damn how do I navigate through there lol.

Hey I'm from the states but I had a quick question for you guys. Anyone know of a European site or forum I would be able to find the EDM taillights with the amber corners?

Sickest 420A build I've seen in a while. Good work bro.

Thanks guys I actually cleaned out the intercooler and all the piping when i took it apart. But do you guys have any idea where the oil came from. I tested my PCV valve and was in good condition, only let air out in one direction.

There was no oil anywhere near the turbo. No light coating in the j-pipe port and no oil sitting near the turbine. There was also abloutely no oil in the j-pipe. This is weird because there was a ton of oil in the hose connecting to the intercooler, inside the intercooler and all the way up to...

I know some oil is ok but its excessive oil....when i took off the pip from TB to upper intercooler pip it lierally poured out about half a cup of oil. How do i check if my wastegate is functioning properly. I'm also trying to find a link to make my own compression and boost leak tester but have...

So i got my car running. Air was leaking out and i found out that the fuel rail was not bolted down evenly. when i push it down the air stops leaking out but the car still wont boost. I rev it up to 7rpm and it still doesn't build boost. I took of the TB to check if it was bad looked good and...

My opinion is you find a turbo with absolutely no shaft play to be on the safe side.

Well buddy i had the same symptoms and it was a blown turbo, smoke was rediculous amounts and it happen out of nowhere but then again my turbo had been going dead for a while. Swapping a turbo is butter buy yourself a tool kit for like 20 bucks and do it yourself. I believe its 14mm bolts from...

Tried searching a fix couldn't find anything, anyone find anything on here on how to fix it?

Wow i thought it was just me lol, and btw i have been driving it with the needle like that for the past year lol.....I would feel more comfortable knowing how much gas is really in there

Well I'm turning on my car pretty soon and thought I had fixed everything but now I remember I've always had a problem with my gas needle. If the tank were full or close to empty it would never read right. Always yous to go up and down randomly. What do you guys think?:banghead:

I have a feeling that turbo is just about gone i had the same symptons and my turbo died while i was driving, turbo was shrap metal everywhere.

Could be the gasket or a seal inside the turbo, hows the shaftplay? How many miles on the turbo.

Hey so I'm putting my car back together finally and yes i searched. I'm wondering what is the bolt size and length for the bolts that connect the oil return line to the bottom of the turbo? -Thanks

Yeah i recomend replacing fluids any time you have the chance, its never a bad thing to replace fluids and easier since your already down there.

Hey man I'm the same way everyone thinks Im crazy but i love my car and plan on restoring evey single inch of it

I say without. turbo wing? that is the wing that comes on the GST maybe you guys mean the GSX spoiler. That is sex lol not the GST wing lol
