Once you've made some progress you should bring it to Cars and Coffee!Quick Update
Got out there this weekend and attempted to bleed the clutch, woke up this morning to no clutch fluid in the reservoir, I also attempted to bleed it by pushing in the slave cylinder and holding it, I could hear what sounded like air escaping from the slave cylinder somewhere, so that leads me to believe Slave Cylinder is toast, local parts shop has them for $26, gonna buy one and get it put on this week and hopefully clutch part will be fixed.
Also put a set of Sony Xplod 12s with an Emmerson 800w amp that I've had for years now, sounds great inside the car and rattles stuff off the walls in the house, but vibrates the car really bad, so gonna have to get some dynamat or something else for it.
So for now, after I get clutch fixed,
I have a small oil leak somewhere, noticed the bolts that goes to the oil return pipe from the turbo was backed out some, but they wouldn't tighten, so either someone used wrong bolts or cross threaded them, so hoping that's where the oil is coming from and I can fix that easily.
Also flex pipe is damaged because the car sits so low, gonna fix that next and hopefully that takes care of the CEL and the black smoke coming from the exhaust.
I took the recirc hose loose and capped the port and man oh man, that Greddy Type S BOV is a beast, even just going like 5mph and shifting to 2nd it blows so loud, but I hooked the recirc hose back up.
That's all for now and hopefully soon I'll have it running great, back to work tomorrow and will mess with the car again as time and daylight allows.

Awesome! It's no longer at Hoover Tactical, now they have it at the Colonnade. It should be about the same distance from you though.That sounds right up my alley, I love cars and I love coffee, I'd def. be interested. I also noticed a few importers was gathering at Hoover Tactical a while back when I was up there.
Could be the master cylinder too.
There is a very small amount of pressure in my clutch pedal. But it works decent. I think these hydraulic clutches were designed to work with ease. So they actually have a ton of pressure, you just don't feel it. I thought it was weird too the first time I drove mine.I put a new master cylinder on it the next day after I got it, because it was leaking. So far overnight and all day today the fluid hasn't leaked out, maybe I'm just not use to whatever clutch is in it, I know the 96 mustang I sold before I bought the Eclipse had a stage 3 clutch in it and that thing was super super strong when you pushed it in, took all my leg force to get it in, this clutch is very very squishy and easy to push.
And I bled it until fluid kept coming out each time.

Well that works, clutch lets out at very bottom of pedal so I'm just gonna go with it being fixed.
You can adjust the rod on the pedal. Make small adjustments and it should grab higher.
That actually looks pretty good. I'm still trying to decide what to do for mine. I don't want to spend a fortune but I also dont want something cheap and ugly.Got the Grant steering wheel put on, loving it so far over the factory wheel.View attachment 587301
