Bump... jk LOLSo I ordered a new slave cylinder and master cylinder and started to install them, when I saw that the clutch line was rounded out at the master cylinder! Gosh, I have bad luck with these hard lines on this car (Thinking of you, oil feed line to the turbo 😒). Anyways, I promptly...

So I replaced the clutch fluid today in an attempt to get the car working again... and BOY did it need a clutch fluid change! I went through a lot of clutch fluid to change all of it, and almost used the entire 1 quart!That stuff was nasty!!Unfortunately, the fluid change wasn't enough to...

Today I decided to fix a bunch of things that I've been putting off... broken door handle, windows switches that aren't quite installed right, and a clutch that is becoming less and less willing to cooperate.Honestly the clutch is the weirdest thing, and it's been getting worse. With the pedal...

Ah, it's been too long! I've done a few things to my car:Installed some BC Racing coilovers (technically they were for a GSX, but whatever) New brake pads (softer than the last ones I had... I don't like them LOL) New black, slotted rotorsAnd then today, I got some rears seats out of a 3rd...

You've probably already seen this, but if you're looking for more power I'd start here.Nice GS-T by the way :)

Wow, it's been a while. I guess that's what happens when you're pursuing a degree in computer science...Well, since my last post I finished the 16G swap and got the car to RavenFab where they took care of some odds and ends for me and installed the clutch. I ran the break-in tune until about 2...

I guess I'll keep posting pics! Maybe I should get a legit camera... 😂

On memorial day, I began the turbo swap!! I haven't really done ANYTHING like this before, but it was fun. I only got the turbo out, however. I'll have to put the 16G in this Saturday.But I absolutely can NOT wait for this to be done! Once the 16G is in (and the boost controller), then it's...

So I did a few odds and ends the last couple of weeks. Had to take a short break since I had Covid at the end of March. HOWEVER, the journey continues.The biggest thing however was the installation of the Aeromotive Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator and 2G DSM Install Kit! Now I can put that...

I thought he bought it from you lol I guess he was just talking about the picture...

This. Is. So. Cool! I love the turbo sound at idle and the bov sounds soooo good! I've wondered if this was possible, or if someone could put a 4G63 into the back of an eclipse but with an MR2 tranny... Any updates?

Oh yes, another build update! This one isn't SUPER interesting, just did some illegal stuff.So I FINALLY finished installing the last of my gauges, the last one being the A/F ratio gauge. I put the sensor in the rear O2 sensors place, since it appears that I have a high-flow cat of some...

SoI am in the process of wiring up all the aftermarket gauges I have for my car (boost, oil pressure, and air to fuel ratio). I've decided I'm going to wire all those up and ensure they are working, and then I will begin replacing the turbo, injectors, ECU, etc.For simplicity's sake, I wired...

Looking good bro! Car looks straight and those purple pipes look dope! The abnormal panel gap is probably from body work. Has it ever been in an accident? And what are your plans for the fuel side of things?If you ever need some coolant/vacuum hoses, this kit basically has you covered...

The journey continues... in a unique way :sneaky:So, I have a slight fascination with doing things differently from everyone else. Case in point: the way I did my fuel pump re-wire.Generally, people run the wiring under the carpet on the passenger side of the car, and hide the relay and...

The time has come... execute order 16G...Sooooo last weekend I ordered pretty much everything I need to finish this build. Once I found out that the engine was in descent shape, that was basically the green light to move forward with turning my mostly stock GST into a 350whp one. This is a...

Yeah, I guess you just have to be REALLY careful with it, but some bolts are just hard to get to when installing the manifold! lol oh well, it was a $40 manifold, can't really complain.

Ok, so it's been a couple weeks since I posted last, but I've got some things to share.First off, the Cerakoted manifold started chipping... dang it lol Got it recoated, but this time in black since it had a much better track record for not peeling/cracking. Give it another two weeks and...

Didn't do a whole lot this week, I just put the Carbonetics headlight cowl on. Looks pretty good, I just hope it doesn't fall off (it's only got 3M double-sided tape holding it on LOL).Turns out, the cowl is actually meant to be installed with the chrome piece AND the black insert cut and...

Sorry to hear that man. I understand that these cars can create a real love-hate relationship with it's owner, especially the hate part lol I've been enjoying this thread, and to go along with what some of the other guys have said, this year has been pretty rough. All I can say is that whatever...

Got the car leak-down and compression tested and was surprised by the results. The car has around 140K miles on it, and a history that is mostly unknown to me. I'm just glad I can actually build the thing without worrying about it failing lol I didn't like the 25% result for cylinder #2, but...

Yeah, definitely looks awesome. And now that you say it, it does really look like their 16G manifold... more clues to the mystery manifold puzzle lolThanks man, really appreciate it!

Yesterday I finished a project that has been in the works for a while now.I got an old exhaust manifold about a month ago from a user here, and I cleaned it up, removed the old manifold, and was about to install the new manifold. However, I decided to get some sort of heat protection for the...

Yeah... I've come to understand that there's no such thing as an easy job with these cars lol but that's how you learn, right?

I'll definitely give that a try. I knew it was pretty, uh, inaccurate to say the least lol But I do have an OBDII reader that sends live data to my phone, including my speed, and should probably have done it that way. It's just when I plug in the reader, my speedo stops working... :idontknow:

I've done a couple things in the last week and a half. First things first, I removed the stock exhaust manifold so that I can put the new one in. I'm so pumped! I've decided to get it ceramic coated and then I'm going to make a custom heat shield, and that should be enough to keep the heat...

Didn't really do that much to my car, I just had it detailed by a friend.I also checked under the car to see if I could find out what brand my exhaust is, with no luck. But at least I got some good revs out of it :D

I fixed my A/C today... literally was missing the relay for the heater... me not so smart LOLNot really sure how it happened... but it did. At least it was an easy fix.Here's my goofy video lol

Sweet car man! Did you get that from ryztriumph?

Today I did something that I've been trying to figure out for a while. I finally got my gauge lights to work!! This was a weird one...So I started by disconnecting the dimmer switch, and then I took a multi meter to see if the switch was getting power. Yup, it was. Both through the power and...

This is awesome man! Definitely post some videos when you start racing it!!

So I got a new, tubular (tubular dude!!) exhaust manifold for my car. Not sure what brand it is, all I know is that it is very used, works with the T25 and 16G, and was $40! I actually got it from a user on this site! Anyways, I decided to take my very rudimentary skillz and try my best to clean...

Oh my gosh it's so beautiful :cry: Great job on the build so far!!!

While my car was in pieces from the last project, I decided to do something that was long overdue. Yesterday I replaced all of my coolant hoses. And when I say all of them, I mean ALL of them. All 11 of them. (Well, except for the tiny elbow right next to the oil filter, that one ended up...

This is something I've been wanting to do for a while... put a tow hook on the Eclipse!! I've never seen a tow hook in this style on a 2G unless it is VERY modified, and I'm really proud of how it turned out! It took me a while to figure out how to do it, cuz there's no guide out there and you...

Thanks man! Yeah, I guess there’s a reason you don’t see duckbills on DSMs very often lol

Not a whole lot happened here, I just repainted my spoiler to have the message "I Back Our Blue" on it. My Dad used to be an MP, so I have a lot of respect for the police. It turned out pretty good!I'll be installing my new brake pads and slotted rotors here pretty soon...Here's the YouTube...

Didn't do a whole lot this time, but what I did do was replace the gauge cluster with a stock one that I got off of Rix Racing. Why replace the one I've got? The lights don't work, and I kinda need that while driving at night hahaTricky thing is though, I had to find out how to change the...

Put the car together and finally got it running again! Had to take it apart again and fix a boost leak that developed, but I was finally able to get some good shots with the duckbill spoiler!! Btw, I used a DIY boost leak tester that literally cost me less than $2. All I used was a PVC end cap...

Over the past week, I was able to get a few things done. My friend and I fully removed the cruise control system from the engine bay, and now I'm just waiting for the non-cruise throttle cable to come in the mail so I can drive this guy again. Also removed the plastic cover over the radiator...

So last Monday, I had the project of trying to get the new aluminum intercooler piping to fit. I had to cut some excess off of a support piece that held up the fuse box in order to have room to get it to line up right. I actually started a YouTube channel just for fun, so that's all in the...

I love the hood design man. Good luck with the build!

I put the new fuel filter in, which was a PAIN to take off because the bolts refused to loosen for 4 hours... but alas, I did it. But then the filter started to leak, so the next day off I had I went back in, tightened it up and everything was set!Then I started the installation of the...

You've got my support! This is an awesome build, nice to see you're back at it! Beautiful car, can't wait to see what it looks like when it's done! :thumb:

My car starts now, but some time in between me taking my dash apart and putting it back together the heater broke. The back window heater works, but the A/C wont blow any air... just in time for winter right? Anyways, that's been pretty fun. Not too bad though, this winter hasn't been as cold as...

Nice build! Can't wait to see what happens when you race the vette!

RWD??!! That's awesome man! I love all of the custom parts you are making. Super cool build. There may be less GSXs in Germany, but that thing would stand out in the US! Great job man!

I love the reason why you bought this car. I will definitely be following this build!

My 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST. Before I tell you my mod list and future mod list, I'm gonna tell you the story behind this DSM. The car truly chose the driver and I've definitely grown to love this car. I don't expect you to read all this (ecpecially since it's the size of a small book LOL)...
