So it rained yesterday and I needed to get my tools out of my eclipse. I open the hatch and the water pours down from the hatch to watever is on my trunk. I'd say about a good half gallon poured right onto my tools. I checked for seals and they all seem fine. This is why all the rust is started...

Thx for all the input fellas. I'm happy to say that it was a success.I used a syringe and a turkey baster to suck the master cylinder and res dry. Then disconnected everything carefully, replaced master cylinder, filled the brake fluid, bled everything starting with the farthest from the...

Just making sure, to sum it all up. I flush out my old brake fluid through the rear brake, and dry the res as much as I could, then disconnect the res from the master cylinder. Replace master cylinder.I have a question, can I just put the new master cylinder on put the fluid and bleed it...

My master cylinder seal is leaking and I need to change my master cylinder but the damn shops around here are charging me 300+. I tried to search for it but not many ppl seem to be writing up about it. Is it easy? Is it hard?? A friend says just replace the master cylinder and bleed it. Is that...

I'm trying to diagnose the problem here. I hate going to mechanics because they lie and dick you over.

Update:At first, I went to bleed my rear passenger but realized there was no nipple to bleed. So I went ahead and bled the rear driver side and got a good amount of air out. I thought I fixed it. Fast forward 3 days, then it happened again, and I bled the rear driver side again. Seemed fine...

Thx for the replies. I'll see whats the problem is today.

If I pump them hard, they go back to being firm, only for a sec or two. Then they become soft again.Does a problem like this happen out of nowhere usually? Both times it happened, they just happened out of the blue.Thx for all the quick replies.

2nd time this happend in a year span.Got out of school, and I start my car. I come to a stop and all of a sudden, my brake pedal goes all the way in and I need to pump my brakes hard to stop. Even then, I have half the braking power I used to have.I had my front rotors and pads changed...

Anybody know where I can get gorilla lug nut keys?? I broke my trying to remove a near impossible lug nut.

lol, this thread is awesome. I'll contribute.I've been towed once, when my crankshaft pulley split apart. No pics, sry.

I permanantly toof off my shroud for my stock smic because it was a PITA to work in that area with the shroud. I cant tell the difference.

My car is proof that there are 98 GSX Autos'.

You need to trim the plastic to make it fit. THere's a guide online that shows you how. Searching for it will probably get you the link.

Can you please do a search. This subject has been covered over and over.I'm dead serious, if you search you'll get more than enough answers.

2nd from top is best.

I wont have my cat connected when i run over 14-15psi.Not sure if its true but i heard that leaded race gas will hurt your cat anyhow.

100-200.Thx for all the input fellas.I'm currently enlisted in the army and i just recieved my paper stating that i'll be shipped out November 9th. With that being said, i dont think i have enough time and experience on my hands to do any kind of tuning, unless I get some extra help...

I have no clue on how to use a logger. I hope it has insructions, or else i'm screwed.

Around 18-19psi is the highest im willing to go. Will i also need to do the rewire?

I'm hoping to reach 13's with my 14b.18psi, with a fuel pump, open o2 housing, and race gas.

What about the interior and all? Take out backseats, passenger seat, floormats and what else?

195lp pump? Would this be all i need to run 18psi safely? No fuel cut? Im just getting into the fuel area, so please bare with me yall. Thx.Are alot of power gains yielded from going turboback?

Yep, its corect. Its called vacuum.

Im hitting the tracks in a week or two, and i'd like to put on one last mod before i do. Considering a modest budget, what would be the best mod i can do to get the best time?I'm a 98 auto GSX with 87,000 on the clock.I've had my oil, tranny and PS fluids all changed, plugs and wires are...

JBWeld is good for up to 600 degrees fahrenheit.EGTs read temps that hover around 1500 degrees fahrenheit.Its really simple math. 1500 > 600.

Amazing what you can do with a point and shoot camera. Working with what i had, i think it came out not too bad. Comments, opinions, critique, and advice always welcome.[Great pics, way the hell too big.]

oooo, i was gonna goto an exhaust shop to get my pipes beaded but I might do this instead, how many pounds and how long do they hold?

I've had 2 dell inspiron 6000s, a hp zd8000 A toshiba lifebook N6110. In terms of quality and mobility, i'd say the lifebook was the best. It was slim, quiet, and didnt run hot. But it didnt have a dedicated video card. Around $1600.The zd8000 was almost 15lbs, heavy, and hot. But it was the...

Are you sure your recirculating? A small boost leak wouldnt make your car die, so you should look for any big holes in your IC piping.

He probably got a eclipse spindle without ABS, and thereforce the ABS sensor is not connected and giving you a ABS light. Thats what i did and i've been driving for about 4-5 months now without a problem. If you dont know what ABS is, or feels like, then you probably wont need it.

See, now were stretching the SUV borders a little too far.

I have a 14b and for some reason, my first gear tends to be slow. If I brake torque, the rpms is around 2900 at launch, and stays there for 2-3 seconds after launch and then my turbo starts to spool @ around 3500. But in every other gear, it spools at around 3200.Is there an alternative...

I dont have a 5spd but I can really learn from this thread. Out of the hole, i cant even beat a maxima persay, but 2nd, 3rd, and all the way, its how a turbos supposed to be. I had NGK BPR6ES, and replaced them with some BPR7ES.

Damn, this is crazy. I had no idea you can do that. Is there any disadvantages of doing it?

Jesus christ, this is why my father doesnt want me going into the criminal justice field. My reputation is already waiting for me.

You could teach him a thing or two. Not only that but you two can share parts.

lol, damn. ROFL

Hahahah, shit, and i thought it was just my high ass tweakin.

2nded. The white 2gb part. :D

Lol, i must be the only one who loves my 98 Auto AWD. Of course I would love to take a 99 black 5spd GSX with a 6bolt, but this is the 2nd best thing for me. I love it.

Is there any way to actually tell if theres a pre-exhaust boost leak???

My car would've been with AMS if they weren't so busy.... Everytime I call to have my car brought in, they tell me the next available day is 3 weeks away.Not much they could do i guess, even if we are board members, they have to give all customers the same treatment.I honestly would...

Count me in, and i'll try to bring a couple locals.

I suggest you dont unless you have support mods.If your lucky, you'll hit fuel cut.If not, then expect to replace alot of gaskets and seals.

50psi???? WTF

Jesus christ, what application is it made for?Also, it looks like it'll burn a hole through my hood.

Make sure to find for any oil leaks. Even the smallest ones are a big PITA. Timing belt, water pump, etc etc.....

The fact that its a stock intercooler, its pretty much reached its limits. Moving it to the front will do nothing. Its not like the SMIC isnt geting enough air, thats not the problem.

I was driving on the highway and my shit just fell off. Just the front part of it. Dealer wants $80 for them, shops want $100. This sux.
