    Spyder 2G Spyder vert top trim plastic body nuts

    Don't know exactly what to call these things.. but they're the plastic nuts that hide beneath the trim along the rear of the convertible top. Mine are worn the hell out and I want to replace them for piece of mind now that I've finished up some body work on the rear of the car. Anyone know...

    Thoughts on GReddy type FV

    I have an uncrushed 1g BoV on the car right now, and after hearing the 'canary whistle' (that nobody warned me about.. fortunately I was on a call with Ricky from Rix Racing the first time it happened and he filled me in that it was "normal"), I've decided it needs to go. I'd like something...

    EVOscan Idle Position Switch won't log in EVOscan

    I'm trying to clean up some bugs on my car so that I can get a tune and get it back out on the road. Last night while @dacowgod was reviewing some data in EVOscan, he noticed that my IPS sat at 0 as if the switch wasn't being triggered. We called it a night at that point as the car wouldn't...

    ECUflash Car won't run, P0105 but it's a Speed Density setup

    So, a few days ago I had the car running great. It was VERY rich at idle, but I wasn't concerned with it as I have a remote tune scheduled for tomorrow with Ricky from Rix Racing. In preparation for the remote tune, Ricky gave me a small checklist of stuff to do before Monday, none of which...

    Intermediate/half/jack shafts

    Other than sourcing a used one, is there anywhere to buy an intermediate shaft for a 1G/2Ga M/T DSM? Obviously axles can be found rather easily, but that half-shaft seems to be nearly impossible to source (again, other than on the used market.. though even that is pretty scarce..)

    Shipping Delays at STM?

    Anyone else experiencing major shipping Delays through STM? I ordered an ARP bolt kit for the FP race manifold over a week ago and it still hasn't shipped. I've ordered from them quite a few times, even as recent as 3 weeks ago, and usually things are out the door within a couple days of...

    2G Brand New Axle Seals Leaking

    As the title states, I just finished putting the rebuilt tranny in the car and no sooner than it was filled with Redline MT-90, the axle seals started leaking. I know with 100% certainty that the seals were installed properly, and they're OEM seals purchased from JNZ tuning. Before I go...

    2G New build, no crank when key is turned

    Just finished putting together all of the final pieces needed to turn the key for the first time on my fresh swap, and... Nothing.I've so far traced through the harness and bypassed the starter relay behind the radio just to eliminate that as a potential culprit. Doing this made it so that...

    2G Auto Harness with a M/T - Need help wiring up reverse lights

    Get the important bits out of the way now: Finishing up my 4G64 to 4G63t swap and due to lack of availability I had to settle for an auto engine harness (4G64 setup was a M/T, as is the new setup).I've been researching this for a few hours now and finding all sorts of conflicting information...

    Any way to save these factory fogs?

    The brackets for my fog lights are completely rotted out, and one of the lenses has a pretty nasty crack. Should I even bother trying to save these with a custom bracket? Or is it time to dump them and find replacements?

    I found yet another wiring issue that needs to be tackled on my 4G63 swap on my Spyder GS.There's a connector under the Driver's seat from the original wiring harness, from what I've been able to decipher from the 97-99 electrical manual, it appears to be connector C29 (Though the manual shows...

    Fidanza Flywheel Dowel Pins

    I picked up a used Fidanza Lightweight flywheel, but it's missing two of the flywheel to pressure plate dowel pins. I bought some OEM pins, hoping they would work, but no luck. They are the stepped pins discussed pretty thoroughly in this thread from DSMtalk...

    HVAC sealing foam

    I pulled my dash and the foam that surrounds the a/c vents is shot. The adhesive is non-existent and it just fell out of place. What would you guys suggest for sealing this up when I put the dash back together??

    Owning a modified DSM in Virginia

    Hey all. I recently received a job offer that would require a relocation from Northeast PA down to the Fredericksburg area of Virginia. Upon doing some research, it seems that I'm going to have to do some backtracking on some of the mods done to my Spyder (along with adjusting some of the...

    2G GSX Dual Piston Caliper slide pin thread pitch

    I just finished rebuilding a set of GSX calipers I picked up and one of the slide pins has a flat spot on the threads that I'd like to clean up quick. My tap and die set only goes up to 14x1.5 on the metric side and it looks like I'm going to need a 15 or 16mm die for this.Can anyone confirm...

    2G AFPR Install

    Is there any way to install an AFPR on a 2G without having to trim the timing cover? There's very little room between the rail and the mid-cover..I just bought and installed a brand new timing cover set for this motor and the last thing I'm going to do is cut into it. I'd rather spend more...

    2G Timing Cover

    I'm finishing up my 7 bolt build and need to order a new timing cover set for it, however I'm at a loss with what exactly to order. I know the 7 bolt covers for the 2G consist of three sections, I also know the 95-96 and 97-99 covers are different... and that is exactly where my problem lies...

    HLA Oil Diverter Gasket

    Anyone know the part number or where to buy a new gasket for the stock HLA Oil Diverter?I've searched numerous sites and while I've been able to find the p/n for the diverter itself (MD167599), I've had zero luck finding a new gasket. I have a hard time believing the gasket isn't available...

    You guys saved me some money with the intake valves, and while I don't think I'm going to get as lucky this time around, take a look and let me know what you think.I have four rocker arms that display some questionable scoring on them:The two in the middle have fairly small marks/pitting...

    Intake Valve pitting

    I went out and picked up a brass wire wheel for my bench grinder today so I could get the old valves cleaned up in preparation of reassembling my head. After everything was cleaned up, I noticed quite a bit of pitting on two valves. My immediate thought was "these need to be tossed and I need...

    Need help with a FMIC setup

    99 Spyder GS - Power Seat Install - Wiring M.I.A.

    I'm in the midst of a GS to GS-T conversion on my 99 Spyder. While researching the power seat install, everywhere I read it was a simple "they're all pre-wired for it, you just have to fish out the connector from under the carpet". Well, imagine my surprise when the harness is NOWHERE to be...

    Need help choosing shocks/struts

    I noticed a while back that the previous owner of my 99 Spyder GS slapped some cheap ebay lowering springs on the car and never bothered to install a camber kit. Since I had 'more important' issues to deal with on the car at the time, I went ahead and ignored the elephant in the room. Fast...

    Need opinions on T25 or 14b

    First thing out of the way. This is going on a 4G64 SOHC turbo swap. I'm not doing a head swap, and I'm only looking to run 7-8lbs with a stock 2g SMIC. Doing this as more of a 'look what I did' than building a track car.That out of the way, I'm going to be hitting up a local shop that parts...

    2G 4G64 Crankshaft Pulley stuck

    I'm working on replacing the timing belt on my 99 Eclipse Spyder GS and I can not, for the life of me, get the Crankshaft Pulley off. All four of the 12mm bolts have been removed, however it will not budge. I tried taking a mallet and hammering around the outer edges to knock any rust loose...

    Replacing head gasket, what else while I'm in there?

    Head gasket started to leak recently (getting coolant in the combustion chamber).

Also going to use...
