    95 GSX / 97 GST Spyder

    Pt.3...Made it out the Spyder today to get the parts box I forgot. Turns out it's just rusty clutch parts and a horribly rusty crankshaft, that one will go "In the Bin!" (Love those guys). Got a few interior shots as well.This is not a oem gauge face set unfortunately. Only hope the gauges...

    PLEASE help top wont go down!!

    I'd take the car back and have them readjust the roof. If they misaligned it, they should be responsible for fixing their mistake. Even the rear window isn't sitting right.

    PLEASE help top wont go down!!

    What sensor are you talking about? I see you have a 3G spyder, and we are all 1G and 2G. Not saying you can't ask, but 2G spyders don't have any sensor warning the driver that the top is open or closed.Also, the pic of your car from the back of the top makes your top look highly misaligned...

    What are people doing for MD752981 nowadays?

    Gasket paper will be your friend here. Just trace an old one on it and you should be good.

    Spyder 98 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST idle problems

    Do a boost leak test. That'll pin point MOST of the vacuum leaks. You will probably need to rebuild your throttle body, or at a minimum, replace gaskets and o-rings in/on it. The TB is notorious for leaks. Look around for old dry-rotted vacuum lines as well, a lot of them are on the backside of...

    1G Are these usable?

    If you are dead set on using 2G pistons in a 6-bolt (assuming these are actually 2G pistons), get a set of 6-bolt rods and have the wrist pin holes bored 1mm oversize. Then you can install the 2G pistons on them.Beat me while I was typing.... LOL

    1G Are these usable?

    I would never use rods that came "free" with one of them looking that bad. Whatever engine they came from spun a bearing. Just because that one got trashed, you never know how much glitter got recirculated through the oiling system and into the other rods. At least you got them for free, because...

    2G Coolant bubbles

    It sounds (to me) like you have a definite coolant leak, but where it's sucking air, and not leaking the coolant. Get a coolant system pressure tester and pressurize the system. Look for leaks. If none are present, I'd do the same thing as a boost leak test and spray some soapy water around to...

    95 GSX / 97 GST Spyder

    Pt.2...I'm now the 4th owner of this Spyder, and it is claimed to have been garaged for most of its life. It started out as a N. Carolina car and made its way to Colorado being exchanged through 2 friends. The body Is in great condition minus a couple little dings that should pull out fine...

    95 GSX / 97 GST Spyder

    A Long Wait...?!? Pt.1...It's been 2 years since I did anything on this build. I've deleted the posts, but the grey Spyder I found in Sacramento got left behind due to the trailer it was on breaking, and I got screwed over in the process. Can only blame myself. Uhaul wouldn't give me a tow...

    Spyder Spyder Gap in window

    Well, that's kinda crappy. Can't always be a simple fix I suppose. Good luck. Update us when you get it figured out so we can all watch for the same issues.

    Yep, that is the biggest headache of this process, but well worth it in the end ;)

    Spyder Spyder Gap in window

    Sounds like you need to just realign your door. I had this issue on my last Eclipse when I removed the doors. All I did was break the torque on the door hinge bolts, enough for me to shift the doors without the bolts being too loose. Then lifted up on the doors while tightening the bolts again...

    Spyder 4g64 auto to 4g63 manual

    I've done auto to manual before, and used masking tape to trace a pattern onto from the donor car, and transferred it to the auto firewall. I ended up chain-drilling the hole for the slave cylinder since the space didn't allow for me to fit a hole saw. I filed the hole smooth and painted to...

    4G64T Conversion

    I got 6-bolt rods, the spyder pistons just came with the rods. Definitely not planning to use those. Not sure why I said it the way I did.Guess I'll buy a bore gauge (been needing to for a long time anyway).Not sure what the actual PTW clearance was to start, whatever was oem. Only real...

    4G64T Conversion

    Been a while since I've asked anything since I sadly left the DSM projects behind me. I do have a Mighty Max I'm building for a friend and got a piston question. I'm using a 4g64 6-bolt block, with a 2g head. I bought 2g spyder gs pistons and rods a year ago maybe and I knew they fit. However...

    The answer to all those questions is yes. You are planning this all properly.

    2G GST hard top to convertible conversion cost?

    Short answer, you probably shouldn't do it. However, if you chose and do, do this conversion, it is unlikely to be cheap. The rear quarter panels are a bit different around the window areas and rear section of the roof, as the coupe has a hatch-style trunk, and the spyder has a conventional...

    This could be a bent tie rod, or a severe alignment issue.

    420A 2GNT Charging Problems

    Just install the PCM/ECU. The voltage regulator is a part inside the alternator, and it can be replaced if you know how to do it right.

    420A 2G 420A Key not turning and steering wheel stuck

    In the future, make sure your wheels are relatively straight when putting your car back on the ground. There's a metal block sort of device inside the ignition cylinder that locks the steering wheel if you turn it too far while the ignition is off. Sounds like you may have gotten the wheels...

    2G P0340 code Crank no start

    Maybe check your ignition coil for cyl's 2 & 3 as well, and that your engine is still in time. What lead to this code popping up (i.e. how was it driving prior)?

    2G Cranks but doesn’t start (CPS) **solved the CPS sensor was put on backwards and once it was put on the right way it fired right up.

    Just a potential source of info to look through, try the very last post: https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/dtc-p0335-crankshaft-position-sensor-circuit-malfunction.286916/

    2G Spyder 4g64 Hybrid Turbo

    If you don't have the specific DOHC 4g64 cam gears, you will need to make your own timing marks. You will also need to use a DOHC 4g64 timing belt from a 94 Galant with that engine combination. I bought one from RockAuto for my friend's 4g64 build that I'm working on.

    2G Where does this go?

    That's weird. I'd bet on accidentally leaving part of the harness in.

    2G Where does this go?

    That goes up your dash to the power mirror switch.
  33. spyderdrifter

    So what are you working on that’s NOT your DSM?

    Slowly getting more done on my friend's Mighty Max. This is the mock-up engine. Still building the actual engine.

    2G Suspension refresh question

    Looks like yes, but would only be for the front.

    2G Starter not touching flywheel

    To get better info, are the teeth not meshing together (like a gap between the teeth), or is the starter gear sliding past the ring gear and not touching that way?

    1G Think my DSM will make it on a 1200 mile round trip?

    I'd take it for a decent test drive before making that determination.

    This generation don’t understand

    Definitely had similar reactions whenever I got a new DSM. Lucky for me, my wife understands my passion, other people though, F#&K them. If they don't understand, they never will and there's no hope for them. Good to see another good car getting saved from the scrap yard.

    2G Strange whirring/whining sound

    This actually reminded me of a situation I had years ago. The nut holding my oil pump sprocket on somehow worked itself loose and disappeared (surely my error), and over a short amount of time, the sprocket wore a hole through the timing cover. Luckily my timing didn't skip, but it made horrible...

    2G Violent shake at idle

    I would say no, you shouldn't have crankwalk. As someone who defiantly has had crankwalk, you'd get a clicking sound every time you let off the clutch pedal, or at least in my case, that's how it went. It has to be one of the possibilities already mentioned. Since you have the balance shaft...

    2G Strange whirring/whining sound

    That sounds like a pulley bearing dragging as it spins. Get a mechanics stethoscope and listen to each pulley while it's running.
  42. spyderdrifter

    2G Violent shake at idle

    Is it auto or manual? Only asking because it sounds like an imbalance due to it being at idle. Check to see if the torque converter is secured, or clutch if manual.

    2G Inaccurate Timing

    Same, I blame HKS for not making separate gears and instead taking a cheaper way out to make more money.I actually forgot about that post. I have never gone off of tooth position though. Always used the dowel and timing marks for reference points.
  44. spyderdrifter

    2G Inaccurate Timing

    Good idea, but my gears only have one dowel hole on each.

    2G Inaccurate Timing

    These cam gears have timing marks for both engine variants. I've done this same process many times, and have gotten the same results. After the 6 rotations, the tensioner rod still sinks in too far. I use the proper timing tools, and use binder clips to hold the belt on the cam gears. The only...

    2G Inaccurate Timing

    I kinda feel like a noob asking about this, but going to anyway. I haven't touched this engine in about 2 years now after loosing the shell it was going to go in. I had issues back then, and now that it's been sitting so long and everything is definitely settled, it's still wrong.The timing...

    420A Spongey brakes no matter what.

    When you replaced the master cylinder, did you bench bleed it prior to installing? Have you checked for leaks in your hard lines? It really sounds like your brake system still has air in it, or leaking into it.
