What did you do to the 3G today?
Hey guys i started one of these threads at my other forum and it took off pretty well.
I figured id give it a shot here and see where it goes. So as the title says "What did you do to your 3G today?" Post your mods or even simple repairs. It'll be fun to check in and see what everyone did today and maybe get some ideas from everyone. This thread is alot more interesting if pics are included so keep that in mind. ill start it off with my random tinkering i accomplished today. Made a simple custom CIA. Nothing fancy my stock intake set up was cracked and taking up too much room. ![]() Relocated my coolant resevior. ![]() So lets see what you guys got... |

Went through and lubed up the shifter assembly; then after some highway abuse I topped off the tank (damn gas prices gonna break me). Also found a leak in my radiator hose, going to get that replaced ASAP.

Making a list of all the parts I'm going to have to buy new to put my car back together so that I can get another 10 years out of him. Bumper, foam bumper, hood, fenders, weather stripping, rugs, center console, dash, and lastly a real black paint job. Going two-tone Black and silver. I'm at about 1,300 before the paint job. Oy Vey.

![]() Today I think I am going to do the Seafoam treatment on the car, it worked wonders on the truck. Approaching my first year with the car, and I think the previous owner neglected it pretty bad. I would be surprised if they ever put > 87 in the gas tank. Found a receipt when I first bought it that was for like $3.00 in gas.

Well it was a slow day at the shop today, so I decided to change my timing belt, water pump, and accessory belts. Oh, and make a new boot screen for my stereo.
![]() ![]() ![]() I know it's not my Eclipse, but yesterday was a little slow as well (stupid small towns); so I decided to swap out the factory Infinity crap stereo in the shop van with a double din DVD/NAV and eight new component speakers. Original: ![]() Process with cutting, shaping and filling etc: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And the hacked OS Load screen I made for this one too:

today i checked to see if my phenolic manifold spacer is going on the car or in the trash. If the EGR pipe doesn't bolt up Ima chop the thing in half. Too many problems trying to mod this thing.

I cleaned out the interior of mine for the first time since 2009. Found about $50 in change and two of my missing socks. Took about 4 hours to vacuum, clean the windows, and shine up the interior plastics. I bet if I removed the seats I could find another $20.

I took apart the console all the way to the dash. I also took apart the automatic shifter housing and washed that dirty little flap of plastic in there and then painted the housing black.

I found a rockin mechanic who opened up his shop to me to be used anytime (thank god for the kindness in some peoples heart) and we swapped my drums for disk brakes, finally.
I would show you the pics I took but I left my camera as collateral untill I pay him in the next few days. I will be posting those pics soon. |

that set of dual piston already has an owner as well as the rears. now the 4 piston brembo's are up, but i have a buyer interested who has first dibs with money ready. now the turbo has no home yet. next sunday i am going to do a long day trip with more $ and hopefully get 2 more pair of diamante and 2 more pairs of 3000gt.

Nice... thank Matt. I would probably go that route, though I haven't compared the costs of it to an Evo brembo set-up. But for sure it'll cost less, I'd like to know at least the margin between them.

I was going to install new struts, springs, front control arms, and do a rear disc conversion but then the allen hole on one of my front sway bar links decided to strip out and halted the whole process...
