I cannot say with much confidence I have seen an N/T with ABS over here. Not that they didn’t exist - I’m sure they did - I simply cannot recall actually seeing one. So yours is a little unique in that regard, at least to me. :cool:
 
Installed ecu harness for now sanding parts and getting the bay ready for now. Changes after the shootout its going running or not.
 
After about a year of sitting on jack stands I finally started working on putting the car back together. Installed the alternator, power steering pump, belts, installed the oil feed line from the oil filter housing to the fp green I bought about 2 years ago. Crazy how a week can turn into a year when a car isn't your daily driver.
 
Rockauto is a hit and miss sometimes. I think I bought the last real blacktop CAS and calipers all the way around(especially the rears) so I appreciate them. I also have a 2003 Forester lifted 2” so I bought extended axle after I noticed the stockers I replaced had a vibration and were “stretched”. Went with extended axles. Worked great until it didn’t. Grenaded the inner cradle one day going to work around 60mph and it sounded like I lost everything. “That’s going to be expensive” Figured it out. Replaced it thinking my fault. Proceeded to make sure at max travel (VA roads) it wasn’t hitting anything. Then blew that one the same way but noticed it leaving the shop and somehow limped it back. I thought buying another one and just getting a refund would be easy. Anything outside of their shipping options you are getting f**ked. Just in general customer service however each company does it has fallen so far in the last couple years. Emailed back and forth once. Got nothing. Emailed again. Different person. Explained it all again and just said please let me no how much I’ve spent over the years? “Here’s your link to the return label for shipping.” 🤷🏻‍♂️ sometimes that’s all you need. Just a little virtual knife hand.
I also don’t know how much I’ve spent over the years picking up the random good stuff and parts for all the other vehicles but it’s not good 😂.
 
Tweaked some VEs, I'm having a hell of a time getting rid of that lean bump but it's not affecting anything. Hit a new personal best lb/min, 41.1

Timing is a little conservative, but this 93 octane is giving me good results. AFRs track quite well otherwise and BoostEst was within 0.2psi of MAP at 5500 (37.7lb/min).
I'm nearing the limit of this 3bar and I don't want to push it much past 27psi on this FelPro composite gasket.
This car is too much fun.

Just bought a 3" cat back exhaust from Megan Racing to go with a 3" universal Flowmaster catalytic converter since I already have the 3"Megan Racing Down Pipe just to have a full 3" turbo back exhaust let's see what happens when I get it all together

I'll be running an electric water pump next year but I want to keep the water pipe along the front of the block so I decided to turn an old water pump into a delete. Pressed out the shaft and bearings, shaved about 3/4" off the snout, machined a plug to fit and finally welded it up.

Needed tires, old rims needed to stay off so I can spend some time blasting maybe get powdercoated and saved for either actual spares for the gsx, or maybe be my rims for track tires, regardless went ahead and ordered new 18x8 +35 white diamond rims with General GMax 225/40/18's from fitment industries with a set of hub rings, these bad boys sit perfect, no spacers needed, nice and flush, and now ready for some nice aggressive driving

Finally got the car started with the FP green installed. Started second try after sitting for way too long. Have a coolant leak somewhere so I'll have to address that. Glad I decided to dedicate some time to the old girl.
 
Well, I've been moving my Auto DSM back and forth and an occasional drive a block down and back, since the mainshaft OD tip is broken. I knew I smelled raw fuel and today, had my son video me putting it up on ramps. Its NOT going into my shop with this "waterfall". It must be an issue with my return line, as I still have 43 psi fuel pressure.

Finally found the last leak as a small cut in the hose from the thermostat to the overflow tank. Replace it with some hose that i had left over from another project. Was about to go for a cruise when i went back to close the garage door from the button instead of using the remote and saw the puddles and trails. Cant really see any problems with the hose until you bend it. Tossed out the rest of the roll that i have because its the second time its screwed me over. 🤨

Ground has been dry since this morning, so maybe this is the end of it for a while.

I pulled my eclipse back into the garage and tonight I'm putting it up on ramps. Then I can drop the tank back down and try to delete my evap canister from my gas tank plus everything else involved in deleting the evap system from my 98 420a eclipse,. My state doesn't have emissions so I'm waiting on a response for whats involved in deleting it all (especially the evap canister in the gas tank, took it out but I didn't know how to even open it to see if it was clogged) so I'd appreciate any insight from here on deleting the evap system or if there's any forums on it, I know it's not as popular as the GSX having a charcoal canister delete but I'm praying either someone who's done it can point me in the right direction or if someone could help think it all out, maybe someone who may have done it to an eclipse configured differently, I'd love to learn more and make the fuel system simplistic and actually work since I have fuel coming out of my evap lines and I've been told my evap canister in my gas tank may be clogged. Any insight is greatly appreciated and I will pursue those leads.

Took the car on its first drive after 2.5 years of building and man was it eventful but couldn't have asked for a better first drive! Still some tuning to be done and small things to hash out but thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way. I am so thankful for this community and is a large part of this being a successful build!

I know this isn't the place but as a small way to give back (and help me with an upcoming move haha) I'm willing to part was with the parts I have listed on my classified if the "purchaser" can just cover shipping. I also have some other parts not listed and I cant say they are "perfect" because I never got to drive the car when I first got it but I also have:

- OEM Front case with a stub shaft that must have red loctite on the bolt
- Stock HLA
- Stock ABS Proportioning valve
- Hydraulic line box for ABS lines with bracket
- Cruise Control Unit (Plastic sheath broken where it connects at unit)
- Stock fuel pump

Ill include pictures, description, whatever you want at request

Thank all of you guys again, im beyond stoked and cant wait to drive it again

The older I get, the more I want a GSX that looks like this. Really well done.
 
I jumped into the Red 90 Talon today for a grocery and bill paying drive. Drove real nice but it's been a couple months since she has been on the road, I was just hurt from my accident and pushing that twin disk clutch was hard on my back. I'm feeling better (after 4 months) so I am getting the fast car itch again. She needed driven to keep the E85 from giving the injectors issues. I am under 1/4 tank so I need some fresh fuel. Still boosting past the 30 peg on the boost gauge, so she is FUN. :thumb:
