Thanks, took some time scratch building it.

The irony. Logged back on today for the first time sine 08, and remember laserspeeddemon

Sounds to me like the typical non turbo 3rd times a charm. When your turn your key into the on position does your fuel pump prime, if it does than your getting fuel, its eventually starts and runs so your getting spark. Not the best way of going about it, but it makes sense. You might just...

It doesn't soundlike your going to be needing all that much fiberglass, just go to your local auto parts store and buy a small package of it for 5 or 6 dollars. Package size will run from 8-10 square feet. I would use fiberglass mat for the first 2 layers, followed by three layers of...

A body kit is up to you, but the problem most people run into with them is that they try to do it themselves and they end up looking horrible. If you decide to do it, let a good shop do it and dont just glue it or tape it on. Theres body kits, and than theres the body kits everyone thinks of...

You would have to switch the bellhousing or half case on the neon trans from a cable clutch to a hydraulic clutch. If I remember right dodge switched the neon from a cable clutch to a hydraulic clutch in 2000 or 2001, and those will replace transmissions in the non turbo 95-99 eclipse's and...

Eclipse, 46 miles to work, 36 to my other job, and 43 miles back every day plus parts runs. Does manage 44 mpg on a regular basis.The talon sits in the garage, maybe going 100 feet a year, even thats pushing it. Someday, it will be finished.

I did something like this a few years ago. The front bumper is a piece of cake, but a suggestion is to not use bondo, but use fiberglass matting to mold it in, and bondo only as a fill here and there. Too much bondo and you'll have nothing but problems. To make sanding easier just put a flap...

this sounds familiar, I remember a few of dsm tuners that had this happen to them.If the person accused is in fact the scammer, he deserves everything that he's going to get. Lets just hope someone who didn't read all of it doesn't go straight to his address and do something stupid.

Things like this are shipped by size and weight is not really an issue unless a hundred lbs or more. The issue is space, a 4 foot 15 lb bumper (not accurate) is taking up that much more room where other valuable shipments could be.Look into trucking companies and see if you can piggy back...

Very subtle, looks nice. So he basically rolled the fenders and cut / rewelded the rear support together.

I wouldn't be too concerned about this. If it bothers you, you could always run a reverse phone or reverse email to find out who exactly is doing this. Otherwise, block the email address and move on.

You abused the tranny and threw the differential pin through the case. You need a new half case at the very minimum. This happens quite often, usually when the fluid overheats and the pin seizes from lack of lubrication and ends up going through the case. The nv-t350 tranny is a good trans...

Get your story straight. Do you have an add in a local paper or anything with a printed asking price for the vehicle. Do you have and amount paid for the vehicle. Use this to verify that you did infact drop 800 off the price of the car.Have your last smog record Receipt from dealer when...

If you have a tap, just drill it out and re-tap it with a 1/4 inch. Unless you can remove the remaining bolt without drilling, you might just as well drill it out and replace it. I only say use a 1/4 inch because that is the standard equivalent and can be found easier than metric in most...

If your cluster still works with the tachometer, than your have a speed sensor problem. Before you replace the sensor, try cleaning out the sensor plug and harness with electrical contact cleaner and apply some dielectric grease. The plug for this sensor is known for getting debris and water...

Been done already.Auto Ventshade Side Window CoverCheaper to buy them to make them at this point.

Exactly, Infinity as well as other auto companies use it to dampen sound, as for support, not yet.I don't think it's impossible to use foam as a support, but it makes for a better brace than anything. I see it's purpose more as a dampening agent and appearance factor than anything else...

The expanding foam produces an exothermic reaction, if there was any moisture trapped, it would be evaporated and an airtight seal would be created.I dont recommend foam as a chassis stiffening agent, it is very flammable before and after curing. Although it is strong, it also degrades or...

Just do a youtube search.Heres two of someone who doesn't know how to shift.YouTube - 95 Eclipse w/ holley exhaust and cai (2) YouTube - 95 Eclipse w/ holley exhaust and caiYouTube - 95 Eclipse w/ holley exhaust and cai YouTube - 95 Eclipse w/ holley exhaust and cai

If you want the loudest, deepest, most annoying exhaust, buy a holley airmass thundermuff catback. Not too bad under 3000, anything over that its just loud, add a header and it just gets worse.

Verizon, where to start, 18 phones in 20 months, dropped calls every so often, cross talk, and shadow voice. Even after all this, it's still better than sprint and t-mobile combined. At least with verizon I can speak with anyone using verizon for free instead of having 5 my faves of useless...

Drop it and weld it, it will be fine. A new half case from the dealer will run you the price of a shep stage 1, so plan ahead if anything. A weld will hold just fine, but if you see a crack on the case itself, than you better start looking for a new trans. You can weld a manual case with...

If your going to keep that wing, go wingless. If your going to update the wing, or put something that flows with the car better than put it back on. It looks just fine with it off, the current wing reminds me of a shopping cart, it just doesn't flow with the body as well as it could. Maybe...

One or both of the heating coils are probably burnt out, or its so full of lint that the heat sensors have gone bad.

still love the rotary, still hate to work on them.In theory, you can build any rotary to any amount of rotors. You could build a 10 rotor wankel, renesis, or genesis engine if you wanted too. Bad part is having to custom build a crank, everything else is almost straight forward being that...

Somewhat on the same topic, but look at the intecooler and engine for the new 2009 corvette. StreetFire.net - 2009 Corvette ZR1 LS9 Supercharged Engine Pics That would be your idea design, but room is a big issue on a dsm. If this were done, you would be left with 6+ inches above the...

I wish I could be so lucky, someone backs into me while I'm in class, destroys my front end, I report it to my insurance and they drop me. I was not a very happy person at the time.

Sorry about your car, know one ever likes to get into an accident, unless it's a derby.Driving without insurance is not a felony, its against the law. At most he probably got a couple hundred dollar ticket.Get estimates and do what needs to be done because you know if it was the other way...

Not bad at all for a first box. Only thing I would have done differently is recessed the speaker so its not out there. Final product looks good.Watch out with the caulk, some claim that it actually decays the speaker surrounds over time.

Practice, practice, practice. Doesn't really matter what gun you have as long as you know how to use it. Be prepared to expect a slight color variation from current paint to fresh paint.

I know this isn't what your looking for, but this is what I came up with a few years ago. Still sits as is. You should be able to see what you need to do to install it. Maybe one day I'll finish this.

The only thing I can think of is this one time I changed my oil and never thought about the filter gasket sticking to the filter housing. Ended up screwing the new filter and gasket on with the old gasket still on. Nothing major, just made a little mess in the driveway when I started it, and...

Depends on your driving style. Slipping it at around 2000 seems to be everyones favorite, but it's really up to you. On a flat I prefer to just let the car idle, slowly release the clutch, get contact and go from there. Downside, you forget and dump it, you stall it (after a few times, it's...

Is that even possible?When an item is sold doesn't the item belong to the new owner, and seizes to have any possession or ties to the previous owner, that being ford or any other company, besides vehicle history. I don't understand how ford can claim ownership of the pictures if they...

If its running rich, change your oil more often, or get it tuned. Your going to wash out your bearings meaning engine rebuild or replacement.It could also be that you dipstick isn't sealing properly and your getting condensation, or the dipstick itself is sweating, from the hot vs cold...

Right on the money, But instead of just giving up, take it to an audio center and have them bench test it. If it is bad, then you know, if it isn't they will tell you what your doing wrong and provide you with a wiring diagram and installation sheet for proper installation of the unit.

Perfect, a schematichttp://www.iq.sony.com/srvs/DocsConnect/docget.asp?manualid=15184&DL=Look over the schematic, and you will see that the light green needs to be hooked up to the parking brake, or install a brake bypass switch (1.00 toggle switch). Light blue is for cellular mute...

You need to find a manual for the unit. Odds are that one of the two wires you havne't hooked up is for the brake bypass (green wire) so the unit will display the animated screen or the unit is locked. In either case, it will tell you in the manual what those unused wires are for. Blue is...

By the time you get the die, buy a new castle nut, and take the time to do it, you can buy a new / rebuilt axle and be done with it. Your looking at the cost of a new axle in the die alone.

Use some powdered graphite and put in in the tube that goes around the spring.

You might have to install the radio with the parking brake like you would with in-dash screen systems. If you connected the red and yellow, (12v constant, and 12V accessory) you could have overloaded the radio. Uninstall it and let it sit for a few hours. Get the manual out and double check...

How ironic, it comes right back. Guess we're on to something that impresses those fancy search engines at google, or makes for even more dsm thefts and break ins. Either way, good info, but for who.

The best method I have found is to take a nice piece of heavy gauge wire. About twice as heavy as a cloths hanger. Put a small hook on one end, the other end you will bend it 90 degrees. Go to your passenger door, right above the door handle and push it through between the glass and the...

Get rid of this wedding ring and try to forget about the past month. Go back to college and finish my mechanic engineering degree Move to raleigh NC Buy a new car Get over my fiancee that I still love.All of this needs to be done tomorrow because classes start tomorrow and Im still in Indiana.

If you have a problem with them, don't use them. Don't blame a whole corporation for a problem that is more than likely local.I use fedex, ups, dhl, usps on a daily basis. Packages get lost, damaged and stolen all the time (world wide, not just me). It's a real pain, notify the shipper...

File a missing package report with dhl. These things happen, and it's discouraging. To be fare, it could have happened with any shipper, if you bought insurance than claim it, if not claim it anyway; the package is lost in transit. You also have to take into consideration that this time of...

It's not a trust issue. It doesn't matter what their driving, it's experience. They simply don't have enough experience behind the wheel of a car yet alone a sports car. Say what you want, whether your in a junker, classic, or sports car, they don't know everything like they think they do...

I have a key cutter, the good one, not the punch type. If all else fails, let me know and I'll cut one for you, or better yet, I'll send you the correct blank. I know for a fact I have plenty in stock, both the metal spare, and the oem type.
