Put it this way....The experienced Mitsu guys that post in this forum got rid of their Eclipse/Talon because they were sick of constantly working on them. If you are a die hard Mitsu Eclipse fan go for it, but if you are just looking for a good project keep looking.

All that annoying engine bay, surprisingly high curb weight, and then you don't even get the decent engine? No, its junk. Go get a Miata or EF Civic or something that is actually fun. I've always wanted a 95-99 GSX but after owning a Laser RS and driving the later cars, I'm glad I didn't.

I like working on my Lancer so that’s what I imagined an eclipse would be.

Former buddy of mine had a neon-motor eclipse and always insisted that no, it's actually a better engine than the 4g63. I no longer remember the full "explanation" but, lol.

STR posted:Honestly, the Forte is a pretty nice car for the money, and your money goes quite a bit further vs a Camry or Accord. We've been happy with our Spectra5 (the Forte's predecessor.) It has gone through 2 clutches in 130K miles, so you're not wrong there. Only killed one compressor so far - it locked up. Not sure about parts availability - not a lot has broken. What has broken has been pretty cheap to fix, even with factory parts. YMMV on newer/different stuff, of course. Rhyno posted:I'm sick as hell so I spent the day watching youtube car vids and after a while my suggested videos was full of things like Ricer Miata and Jimmy Oaks so I watched a single video of each guy and I'm baffled as to how these dudes have so many subscribers because they're 100% unlikeable douchebags. Startling revelation: a lot of YT viewers are also unlikeable douchebags. Like begets like.

Hope you get the job dude! My mother has finally agreed to sell her giant-rear end house that she resides in alone and move to a smaller place. I'm elated, the property value has sky-rocketed and she lives directly in the best school district in the city. Hopefully we can get her to retire next!

My clutch is stuck to the flywheel on my Hino/Toyota. It's a hydraulic clutch and half way depressing it feels like a brick wall. I have an Inspection plate. Should I hit it with an air chisel ? I'm kinda nervous about prying on it.

Should I hit it with an air chisel ? I'm kinda nervous about prying on it. I'm going to bet that it isn't stuck to the flywheel. More likely an issue with the throwout bearing (possibly stuck on the input shaft snout) or the clutch plate fingers.

I'd never in my wildest dreams even considered a Hyundai, but the an ad for a 2005(69 NF Sonata V6 turned up. I need a car as a winter beater since I can't be arsed to buy winter tires for my current daily, and I kinda need a second car so I can do maintenance/repairs without stressing out. Looks kinda fun with 235hk while being cheap and comfortable? Are these turds or a good winter beater that rivals something like a Camry or something. 125k miles on it for $2300.

If she is fine with working its not something you should get a say in and more to the point I would consider it rude as gently caress. In fact its more the case someone who says working has better long term health especially mentally.

My automotive confession is, I've been driving around with a hosed wheel bearing for like 6 months. Also neglecting to fix the CV boot they pointed out last annual inspection out of spite, so that the CV joint failed. (parts are on their way)

I drove the entire length of I-40 in TN yesterday in pouring rain the entire way. We decided to play 'tally the cars without headlights on' The top 4: 1) Toyota/Lexus - 107 cars 2) Hyundai - 41 cars 3) Nissan Altima - 32 cars 4) Honda - 27 cars I mention the Altima because every Nissan without headlights was an Altima. Almost every Honda was a Civic, but there were a handful of Accord and CRVs in there too. Hyundai was mostly Sonata. And just about every friggin Toyota or Lexus had its headlights off. Almost all of the Lexus were ES models. edit: We passed 12 accidents yesterday Goober Peas fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Sep 24, 2018 |
