Hard to come by but I found the stuff online if anybody has a yellowing foggy headlight problem. Just take your time wet sanding and follow it step by step and it will be great. My lights have remained clear for about 6 months so far
OK, So My 01 coupe is made by Mitsubishi, Whats different between my car and the Eclipse? The dashboard is like identical bolt for bolt, and Id assume the motor is as well? I know the rims are...
Can I use Performance parts for an 01 Mitsubishi eclipse 3.0? Are the brakes the same? As you know, after-market chrysler parts arnt exactly a common thing
Depends how much your looking to spend. I was quite impressed with my Memphis PR series speakers up front and plan to replace the rear 6x9's with them as well. The set is about 100$ or so, and can be had cheaper online. Great sound for the money
I have memphis PR 2 way 6 1/2's in my car and they perform very well with the factory amp.
And if you want to go for a REAL speaker the JL Evolution ZR series is the way to go. But Like the type X's, they are around 600$ or so for the pair. A little to pricey for me, but the owner of the local JL dealer has them and OH MY GOD. They can handle insane power and volume without a hint of distortion
jim, i know u made that suggestion in good hopes, but from reviews....i wouldnt suggest a power flush. remove your transmission pan,( this is how it is done in the manual) replace the filter, let everything leak into an oil pan of course, replace with the tranny pan gasket that you receive with the purchase of the filter, fill ur oil, start ur car, keep ur parking brake up, ur foot on the brake pedal, shift from park, through to L staying a second or two in each gear and end back at park.
Scott, Honestly this method is frowned upon and considered to not be a legit trans flush. The problem is you are really only draining a few quarts of transmission fluid, and most of the contaminated/burn/broken-down fluid, along with all of the contaminants, still remain in the trans mission. While yes, the filter change is important, flushing out the old fluid is even more important, because it is "loaded" up with small contaminants that the filter simply can not capture. Transmission fluid is sort of like motor oil in these sense, however it does not get as dirty nearly as fast.
My shop maintains the police cars for two towns (each over 30,000 residents) and we perform this service every 30,000 miles, never had any sort of problems.
Also, as far as the gaskets go, most fords come with a re-usable rubber gasket that is far superior to the cork gasket that comes with replacement filter kits. In this case, no sealant is necessary, however it is recommended that you clean the inside of the pan with brake cleaner, and remove the magnet to wipe off all the metal flakes on it. Cork gaskets tend to seep fluid eventually.
Cool Thank you for putting the pictures up! Much appreciated.
Monday the car is going to get wired up with Rockford Fostgate 4 gauge wiring. Stock Alternator, Interstate MTP battery (I forget which group number)
The head unit is factory, it is the infinity 4 disk changer. Im using a high end line-out converter to drive these subs. If/when the head unit takes a dump, Ill probably go for a nice eclipse unit
When we do a trans service we flush it with 14qts of whatever fluid it needs. using a transtech3 machine bymotorvac. Basically we hook up hi and lo side lines to the machine, open the gauges and run a cleaner through all the trans while we take it through all the gears on the lift. We then use the machine to remove all but maybe a quart or two, drop the pan and change filter if it has one, then use the machine to fill it with clean stuff.
You CAN do it thwe way you suggest, but its going to make a mess. If you remove the pan, make sure not to re-use the gasket unless specified to do so on the pan (aka fords). After you think you have flushed it, check the fluid level, take it for a short test drive and then top it off.
I put in Memphis PR series up front and it was a huge difference in clarity over stock. PR is a mid range line from Memphis so they dont need HUGE power to run but can handle an after market amp, or so I am told.
Idk a buddy of mine explained it lyk a band or something. But what my tranny is doing right now is that first and reverse are fighting eachother. When you put my car in reverse it wants to go foward and when you put my car in drive it just sits there.
Haha nahh give it gas and it will rock back and forth, then it will make a loud CLUNK when first overpowers reverse and youll get going. Happened to mine, it was a major come back for the trans shop lol
I see you already got them, but if your worried, go for some steal rims and maybe like a 195 or 205. Remember, skinnier is better for winter. Thats why some guys who plow have tire/rim sets specifically for plowing. My RS-A's suck in the snow and sleet lol
