Just got a 95 gst for a 1k

[eclipse1999]

The car runs and drives but it grinds on 3rd. just wanted to show some pictures of everything and ask what you guys think. the speedometer doesnt work and mileage stopped at 102k.
i changed the tranny fluid and engine oil and gasket, valve cover gasket and msd wires so far now. the bov is hks stylebut its placed in a weird position, the piping is cheap i guess? what you guys think? The body is ok condition, just that it got hit in the front on the drivers side but he fixed everything. I have no power steering, it sucks driving in the city.
just need to do some body work that bar near the drivers fender,

I was thinking if i should change the engine mounts, the car vibrates hard.

Looks like a good deal.I have no idea why there is holes in that though.Good luck fixing it up.

 

[caboose]

those look like prothane mounts, the reason why it may seems to vibrate is because they are harder than the stock ones.

 

[boostedjay32]

ill buy that motor mount if you dont want it hehe

 

[Niteninja01]

That's a good deal, any pics of the inside? Any mods?

 

[eclipse1999]

thanks for reply, hoping to get it back in shape soon. Not much mods, it came with a boost gauge, hks turbo timer(still tryin to learn how to use it). It came with chrome intercooler pipes, the engine n tranny mounts, the front and back sway bars. It has a upgrade clutch, he said it is Act. the clutch is so hard to press down, i be catch cramps. is that normal for act clutches.

Yeah it is probably the 2600 it has a pretty stiff pedal.I have the 2600 and I dont think its too stiff at all but I am used to it.I get in another car and I'm always like wtf this clutch is wierd.It feels like your not even pushing on anything.Or it could be that the flywheel is stepped wrong.But it's probably just because of the pressure plate being stiff.You will get used to it

 

[eclipse1999]

anybody can help me with my questions

 

[m0nk3estylez]

Hole in the Pipe is it Rubber or metal? Cant really see it to well

 

[eclipse1999]

its a metal pipe, some1 told me its either a coolant pipe or turbo pipe. also anybody know what are the two wires?

 

[tsiboostin]

It's hard to tell from the picture but it almost looks like a hole in the bell housing of the transmission. Like I said though hard to tell from that angle.

 

[eclipse1999]

i will take more pictures tomorrow, do anybody have there bov so close to the fender, it look different from other cars

 

[m0nk3estylez]

Well it look like a water pipe not sure bad camera angle. Big plug look around tranny if u see anything thats Unplug

X2 maybe to look at some mark on the flywheel?? Tres...

 

[Epic904]

The hole definitely looks like the bell housing has a chunk out of it. Well good luck with the car.

 

[darkiller_666]

It also looks like there is oil on the timing belt. That can lead to early failure.

 

[JEFFREYCASTGSX]

I see a 14b/16g in there....

 

[eclipse1999]

whao bell housing of the transmission?? thats big work to fix right? or i have to change the transmission

 

[1bad95tsi]

Yeah that hole looks like the bellhousing of the tranny- and the oil on the t-belt can lead to big problems too - i wouldnt drive it until all maintenance is done - because it might cost you 3 times what you paid for the car if you let it go and stuff starts breaking

 

[eclipse1999]

what kind of maintence do i need to do if theres engine oil on the timing belt?
the hole in bell housing, what kind of problems could it lead to? theres yellow piece inside.
I have constant antifreeze leaking out when the car is running.

 

[DeadsEvolution1]

That is a hole in the Bell housing for sure. And the Yellow you are seeing in there is the pressure plate. also oil on the timing belt could mean your front crank shaft seal is leaking. You would have to pull the timing belt off and take the old seal out and put a new one in. That is how my timing belt got oil on it from that leaking oil. An ACT clutch should be still to you, but it'll take some time to get used to. Does the car run well?? And you said you have a constant coolant leak where under the car exactly?

 

[eclipse1999]

the engine oil is coming the cap because it doesnt tighten all the way. i just put the timing belt cover back on. the coolant is dripping down from the beltunder the car, still not sure where its coming from. the car idles a little under a 1rpm on park. it drives ok, no overheating. im going change the thermostat soon, becase the hose to the radiator is always soft.

 

[caboose]

try not to get any oil on or around your belts, make sure to keep them clean and dry.

Buy a new oil cap that is a pretty common thing to leak.If the radiator hoses are spongey in any way buy new ones they are cheap and it will save you trouble instead of blowing a hose off and overheating and coolant blowing all over.

 

[darkiller_666]

The belt will get brittle with oil coating and engine bay temps! May lead to breaking the Timing belt which equals bent valves, a.k.a. ~$500
