Mitsubishi eclipse gs or gst?
Depends on your interpretation of "powerful," really. 140HP isn't anything super great, but it's better than stock Civics of the same year. If you have to pay the same price for both, then by all means, grab the GST. I had a 2nd gen GS for 2.5 years before selling it off (father made me get rid of it and get a new car). Though I wish I had a GST (didn't realize the difference beforehand), I still loved the car regardless. In case you didn't know, the 2nd generatio (95-99) RS and GS (nonturbo) had the 420A Chrysler engine (essentially a Neon engine) and is mounted on the left side, while the GST and GSX have the 4G63, the legendary Mitsubishi engine still used in the Evolution Lancers today, mounted on the right side of the engine bay. Oh, and the GS Spyder uses a 4G64, with a little bump in HP (if I remember correctly) but still nonturbo, while the GST again uses the 4G63. The convertibles are heavier, though, so I don't know if the bump in power is really noticable. RS and GS have stock single-tipped exhausts, while the Spyder GS and all the turbo versions have a dual-tipped exhaust. RS door handles and mirrors are black while they're color-matched to the body on GS models. Nonturbos (RS/GS) can still be turbo'd by a bunch of aftermarket kits should you want to. However, people suggest if you know you'll want a turbo to just get it from the start with a GST. If you change your mind, though, Hahn Racecraft makes one of the best turbo kits for RS/GS 2nd Gen Eclipse/Talons. I hope you're talking about 2nd gen, since if it's first gen, then all my information is generally useless. :x DSM's have a huge community and lots of aftermarket support for both Turbo and Nonturbo. However, I think the turbo has a bigger aftermarket base than the nonturbo. That's just my guess though. Figure out what you want and make the decision off that. Check out DSM.org and research it up to better answer your questions. Best wishes, congratulations on spreading the DSM love :D
How to remove 2000 mitsubishi mirage driver door panel?
take out the door handle cup(one phillips skrew) there is one skrew in the window/door lock panel remove it. also remove the triangle corner over the mirror adjuster(snaps on) and the panel itself is held on by plastic snap ins. I use a flat head skrewdriver stick it in under the panel(start at bottom of panel) and pull toward you easy and you will hear them pop.but be careful with them.work your way around till all are popped loose.then lift bottom of panel out toward you then push panel up to release from window track.
My car won't start after metal touching positive post and it smoked. Could it just be the battery or something else?
First check all your fuse’s , yes every last one of them , most cars have a large fuse panel under the hood as well as in the passenger compartment, An then you also have what's called a “ Fusible Link “ , These are normally located going to High Amp Circuits , in your car , i.e. The starter , the alt , the fuse panels , Modern Cars have dozens of these Fusible Links , An they have different ratings that depends on the wire size going to that Component ( I think there are about 6 different gauges / sizes ). What happens when in your case a Direct Short , occurs it protects the wiring An various other electric components in your car ,, they melt down when large amounts of current pass thru them , most are covered in a Fire Resistance shrink tubing type material, An they are soldered on to the wiring of the various components , So grab your self a VOM Tester , or a Test Light use one for Computer Circuits - The VOM Meter would be a better choice , An starting looking for where there is no power where there should be power going , There's a old joke We Mechanics have - wires carry smoke thru them An when you let the smoke out there no good anymore, Good Luck , An hey don't let anymore smoke outta them wires , oh An if you find out it is a fusible link - don't let the Clown at the parts store try An sell you a 25 foot roll of it , tell them you only need like a foot ( 12 inches ) of it OK , An if they tell you otherwise go to another parts store as they are idiots ,
How do you remove the antenna from a 2nd gen. eclipse?
I had my power antenna removed off my 99 eclipse after it broke. You can get to it if you remove the inside panel in the trunk. Then I had a body shop shave it for me for a nice clean look. They did it for $400 and the price of the power antenna alone (w/o installation) was $300 something. I bought an antenna from ebay which is a small box hidden under the dash for less than $40. Note: the seller recommends sticking it to behind the rear view mirror. Here is the link to one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Hidden-AM... There are also others similar to this on ebay if you search under hidden antenna or booster antenna. Hope this helps.
Do You have to get an alignment after front strut replacement for an Altima (2009)?
I’m not a professional mechanic, but I do my own work, and I’ve changed my own front struts and done my own alignments.I ALWAYS do alignment when I replace struts or any other front suspension component. In the case of the strut, replacing it changes the ride height. There’s a thing called ‘bump steer’ where as you go over bumps, the point at which the suspension pivots isn’t the same point at which the inner tie rod pivots. That means that the effective length of the tie rod is greater in some positions and shorter in some positions. The wheel will steer left and right a bit as it goes up and down. Changing the ride height is going to change the effective tie rod length for the exact same reason.It’s really important to do both sides, so that they are riding at the same height, and get your wheels pointed in the same direction. The one time I tried to move a vehicle after strut replacement, but before I did alignment, I found that the change in ride height had caused the wheels to toe out, and the toe out pulled one of the ball joints out of its socket. That was an expensive and stupid repair. Just spend the fifty dollars or so and get a front end alignment.
