GReat build man keep it up

^Thanks man! I just cant wait to actually start bolting some stuff.

So I recieved another order in today. This time from the cool FedEx guy. I posted in another thread opinions on which engine mounts I should run.

http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/bolt-tech/357371-stock-oem-engine-motor-mounts-polyurethane.html

I got different answers. Some swear by Polys, Calan suggested what looks like to be a very effective way to use them without the vibration, and others said to just stick with the stockers.

Well I went with my gut instinct and my commuter instinct and decided to go..................stockers.

I'll take the risk and give it a shot. Im POSITIVE these will be just fine for the daily driven GSX.

These are from RockAuto.com These mounts are THE SAME mounts that you would get if you went to Advance Auto and asked them, but cheaper. They were $97 shipped to my door and are from New Jersey. I looked up part numbers in CAPS and got prices from JNZ and NEW OEM would've cost me ~$197 PLUS shipping. Im all set with that.

Some pics.

They look pretty decent for not OEM. I think I'll be more than happy with them, but only time will tell.

Can I have the part number on your money tree please?



explain where you found where to buy that MDP adapter, and where is it tapped in?

 

[jjrock5]

Here ya go Steve.

EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - JM 2G MAP Sensor Adapter: Mitsubishi Eclipse 95-99

The brass fitting is small enough to where you can tap it into any vacuum line.

Awesome! I will be picking one up. Thanks jjrock (whats your real name?) once again.

P.S. If you ever wanna sell your seats, I will snatch them up.

And I think I owe you this picture, its of the infamous "Rust remover gel" I bought from Autozone

Thanks for the pic man.

 

[jjrock5]

I have plenty of pics to upload but it looks like I'll be going to "DSM Journal" mode as the higher powers of Tuners (Luda) asked for all builds to change to that format.

So I'll be updating on Journal format. Thanks for watching.

 

[jnbracing]

Is there a way to post a link to it here?

 

[jjrock5]

Sure I will post a link to my "journal"

I may update this page as well but it may too much of a pain because I dont just post IMG links from Photobucket. I actually ATTACH them onto Tuners which saves them on this server so they won't get "lost" if I ever delete my Photobucket account.

I think this is how all ppl should do it.

 

[95eclipser]

[jjrock5]

I recived a few more goodies and even some "DSM literature" goodies but I'll save that for pics later. haha

i know havent had much time to work on it

i got excepted to JMU college so iv been getting everything work out to transfer there next semester..

i have nothing new going on with my build except that i came across a 4g64 crank and some new pistons so you might be seeing a couple more liters added to my engine

 

[stevestevesteve]

"DSM literature"

Copycat!!! hehe

Nice build looks like my floor last winter, i like the shifter knob as well just called the dealer i have one on the way.

I never knew this but Eclipses came with factory spark plug cable brackets(they sit on the plug well). I noticed this while I was on CAPS so I bought the 3 recommended. Meh, I might as well buy and say that I have them.

Not sure if you know this already or not, but yes, from the factory they had those spark plug holders. However... NGK spark plug wires are too thick to fit into them. I tried to force mine in there, but that just broke them all, they are very flimy plastic pieces, and hense the reason most cars you have seen didn't have them. I think only 2 of 6 of my dsms had them.

just some random info GL with your build!

Ah crap.

Well that sucks.

 

[shredwin]

Hey nice build... your doing a very nice job, I went through every single pic of yours. keep those pics coming

 

[Atuca]

Ah crap.

Well that sucks.

You know I read your post and was going damn he just wasted 5 dollars probably!

Well than I was thinking, you got two options.

A) sell them locally to someone who runs stock wires and knows the stupid spark plug holders even exist (rare this person exists)

B) dremel to the rescue! Mine were 150k miles old and very brittle; your new ones should hold up better to a little dremel grinding to make fitting the NGKs fit. Might wanna give it a try. Not much to lose at this point


Back to random thread reading for me....

It's not a brochure or anything.

Well these things cost me about $0.60 a piece so it didnt break the bank. But I will try the dremel idea because we alllll know that the wires could use some organizing.
