  3. Late Nights in San Diego

    Dammit The email notification only showed the "that was me" Haha Thought I had struck paydirt
  4. Any DSM meets in San Diego

    I do know a lot, rebuilt my 420a and restored a 70 camaro (drivetrain also) But I'm leaning towards buying one. That way I know it would be starting with a solid foundation, and i could spend my time improving it, opposed to all my time just getting it running again (if I did a swap)
  5. Any DSM meets in San Diego

    Another car and a bike
  6. Any DSM meets in San Diego

    I've researched it but it's still a tossup between doing a complete engine swap (which would be time consuming but fun!) Or sell mine, and buy a gsx/gs-t (awd isn't a must for me, though I know I would love it)Suggestions? Because I really am on the fence about this one
  7. What did you do to your DSM today?

  11. Late Night Drives in San Diego

    So random... Was just driving home on the 52 when I overtook a raggedy green 2g. I thought "cool", its always nice to see dsm's still on the road. Anyways suddenly other driver pulls alongside me and motions to show that their interested in maybe making the drive home more interesting...(no...

  13. So... who's going shopping?

  14. it's just a little slick out here lol

    Same thing happens in San Diego, except with rain (like today...) I saw no less than 5, 5 car pile-ups
  15. it's just a little slick out here lol

    What this clip missed was that inbetween shots, GrrMan was running out dousing the road with buckets of water
  16. High beams, low beams?

    Blurred is correct If they say that they're "xenon" then it's just marketing. Xenon burners are not plug and play. It's a whole different system.
  17. Interior Lighting Swap

    How to light Gauge Cluster with LED's
  18. Interior Lighting Swap

    Floor illumination lights are the ones by your feet (lower kick panel) that turn on when the door is ajar.Gauge cluster: What do you mean replace? Make a custom one? Or buy a custom one?Make a custom one (can be adapted to dsm): revlimiter.net - Custom Gauge Faces
  19. Timing belt

    Those links are perfect, thanks man! And I know exactly what you mean about it taking however long it takes... Been working on card for years and learned long ago that murphey's law exists for a reason
  20. Timing belt

    So i just turned over 100k in my 2g rs w/ 420a and have still not replaced the timing belt. I always forget to when I havethr thing torn down...How scared should I be?In addition, what should I think about replacing when I take care of the timing belt? (water pump, belt tensioner,etc?)...
  21. Engine cut off switch and push to start

    Read this and laughed Just finished rebuilding my engine for the same reason. Suspended license and had nothing better to do Get it back Thursday!
  22. 1G I know it's been posted, but mpg is really bad..

    98 RS (manual)I can get about 450-480 on a tank if I am REALLY careful. Freeway only, and a real soft touch on the gas pedal. Otherwise 400 is what I am typically looking at.
  23. Gas milage?

    98 RS, I get about 24mpg but if Im on all freeways I can hit 32.
  24. What did you do to your DSM today?

    Shit, my clear coat just began to fail too... Guess I need to start saving for a new paint job

    Retrofit the stock headlights!Take your stockersBake them:Source a pair of OEM HID projectors (Like tsx's) Mount and install:Bake them back together and mount on car:Then you end up with a great headlight:As for the tails, I say go EDM spec. I love how they look.
  28. Eclipse Gsx interior lighting guide

    Osram lamp replacement guide
  29. Back hatch off center?

    Nothing new, though am getting new shocks soon, the damn thing won't stay up anymore. I should probably wait to align the hatch till I get those
  30. Back hatch off center?

    Just noticed the same thing wrong with mine today. Slightly towards the drivers' side,and rubbing the spoiler... Just another thing to do tomorrow
  31. Window pops when first rolled down

    The glass guide on the front part of the window (body side, not door side) is getting caught under the glass. When you start to roll it down it POPS! back over it into the correct position.Mine does it every so often, typically when I am shutting the door. Don't know how to stop it.
  32. What did you do to your DSM today?

    Removed the gauge cluster. Started to prep it for an LED retro.Oh, and repaired the LED 3rd brake light in my spoiler. Thing hasnt worked in a year. (Finally have free time to work on the car.)
  33. when does the gas light come on, on your 2g eclipse?

    Mine comes on at E as well. And is only 10 gallons down. Light can get annoying that early, but at least I know I'll always have enough to make it to the station.
  34. DIY Painted Valve Cover DSM 4g63t GSX

    What kind of paint did you use?
  35. notorious talon idle

    In the 2g service manual there is a way to read codes without A code reader. Has something to do with turning the ignition on x number of times I'll find it later when I'm home if you don't have a scanner or a nice friendly mechanic you're friends with
  36. coolant overflow pics needed

    There isn't a return tube Only one line running from the thermo housing to the overflow. The overflow then should have a tube venting away from everything
  37. What did you do to your DSM today?

    Took out the entire interior. Cleaned interior (incl. Steam cleaning the carpet) Put interior back togetherAnd only managed to have 2 screw left over...haha
  38. good xenon kit ?

    :DCheck out HIDPLANET.com Really opened my eyes to the HID world
  39. What do everyone do for a living

    Product trainer at HP.
  40. My h.i.d. vent thread

    When I performed my retro the hi beams ended up not being properly aimed anymore (due to the modification for the low beams.)However they ended up being aimed perfectly for flashing people in their rear view mirrors. I drop back when someone is using non retro'd HIDs in their car and strobe...
  41. Do RPMS run higher at in a manual, than in an auto?

    Sounds right to me 3k at 70 3500 at 80 I think (been a bit since I drove, been rebuilding the engine)
  42. My h.i.d. vent thread

    +1 it's not even that expensive to do a proper retro If you don't care about having the best beam/sharpest cutoff/bi-xenon (which they have already proven they don't) then you can get a retro for under 100 bucks
  43. oil on spark plug

    Same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago. Ended up just being the inner valve cover gaskets (spark plug gaskets)
  44. Rear drum conversion help

    I've got the same car, pm me your email address and I'll upload my service manuals somewhere online and then send you the link. It's easier than it looks when you have a diagram in front of youOh yea, and as for front to rear ratios, they actually stay the same. You still want the majority...
  45. New to dsm scene

    +1What started as me fixing the passenger door lock somehow evolved into me rebuilding the engine and can I say how much happier my baby is now?Drives like a dream.Now...time to save for the turbo I've always wanted
  46. Will this work to bypass the starter relay/clutch starter interlock

    In theory, couldn't one also just unplug the clutch interlock sensor? It's a "normally opened" circuit that switches off to allow th car to start. Leads me to believe that if you just unplug it (causing the system to register no load) then the car would believe the switch was active (off)
  47. 2nd Gen HID Retrofit (Using OEM Housings)

    The cutoff is blurry for 3 reasons, my housing lenses are not as clear as I woould like them to be, the projector lens Im using isnt 100% clear (so I dot get that crisp cutoff) and the lens that I have on the projector if from an FX projector so it doesnt have quite the same qualities as a real...
  48. 2nd Gen HID Retrofit (Using OEM Housings)

    So I started by baking the housings open and ended up looking at thisThe I removed the reflector housing from the rear housing and cut a hole in it large enough to fit a pair of TSX projectors.Gotta love that cutoffOnce I did that i created new mounting points on the...
  49. More HID RetroFit Fun! Swaping my HID setup into a new set of headlights!

    bad aim on the reflectors, def should not be curving up on the sides like it is in that last pic.
  50. HID Problem

    Hi all, So I just installed an HID kit into my high beams yesterday. Everything went fine, drove around after (still daylight) with them on making sure I wasn't going to blow any fuses/melt any wiring. Then last night I went out driving, got onto a crowded street, and realized that I couldn't...
