Not making excuses but thank you for being one of the few KZbin channels to acknowledge that you all have access to stuff most people don't which makes working on cars and doing it the right way a lot easier.

[@Karma28217]

Idk, I've never seen the point in paying anyone to do something that I can learn how to do via reading and/or youtube. I can safely say that none of my cars have never been anywhere near the jank that this Eclipse is. The previous owner shouldn't have been working on anything and was either ill-equipped mentally or lacked the proper tooling for the job (likely a combo of both). I bought an Rx7 a few years ago that had self tapping screws and shit wiring all over. The previous owner didn't understand that his work was garbage. It's sad. Having some pride and patience goes a long way.

[@djmyth84]

Having the correct tool is half the work 🥰 Thats why we have ChrisFix, he use normal day handtools much

[@mouaem1]

I've helped younger guys just getting into cars with aftermarket modifications and later when they ask me what they should buy next I tell them some TOOLS! The looks on most of their faces is disappointment lol.. The parts aren't going to install themselves and the right tools will get the job done properly and more efficiently. Plus they will need to learn the skills to turn a wrench People don't understand that tools are an investment and will pay themselves off in the long run, not saying go buy all snap-on etc lol...

Please find a new chassis and continue this build! Fingers crossed that nothing happens to the motor during the road trip. I'll be shocked if the previous owner built it properly given what we've seen so far.

[@philsowers]

Same, I still have my 98 Eclipse Spyder. A bunch of us 4g64 2.4L fans slapped 4g63 turbos on ours among all the other mods. There were still a few brave souls in our online groups that did the AWD swap. What what was most surprising is the GS Spyders must have used the GSX frames as all of the bolt holes and mounting points were already on the frame. Not so much with the GS-T's apparently.

[@Chad_Thundercock_]

@iamsobored113 sounds about how I re-aquire most of my DSM's. I have 3 of them all in different condition, and you could reliably drive any of them wherever you'd need. It all boils down to knowing the platform enough to do it all right. The first thing I do when I get these cars is check for all the trans bolts, esp the little 8mm in the back most people forget. Then I adjust the clutch, check compression, fix any boost leaks or jank work, change fluids, and then the nit picky stuff as I go.

[@Takethatakethatakethat]

I’ve owned a bunch of these and have learned that the turbo return line flange welded nuts on the inside of the oil pan are not a great design. The oem design uses bolts, crush washers, and a gasket. It’s prone to leak especially when added pressure in the crank case. I fixed this issue by removing the welded nut flange on the inside and welding bolts from the inside out, creating a stud. This allows a tighter seal for your -10 fitting flange to your oil pan. Love the project. ❤

A situation i was in ~20 years ago was shockingly familiar to your current one. I bought a Talon TSi AWD in 2003-ish that was even worse off in the rust department than this one. But I had driven 8 hrs from NC to NJ to pick it up. It ran, and had a built motor. Luckily I only paid $2400 for it. When we got it home, we found the rust was MUCH worse off that we were lead to believe. Literally holes in just about the entire underside of the car. The body wasn't salvageable, but luckily I found a local TSi AWD roller for $750 and picked that up and swapped the motor/Turbo over. That was my last DSM. 🤣 In 2005 I moved on to a relatively new 05 Legacy Gt after that.

Eclipse I've owned a 2g, 3g, and 4g in the past. The 3g was my favorite so I picked another 3g GT Spyder up in October and daily drive it. Since buying it I've done: water pump, timing belt, idler pulley, tensioner pulley, hydraulic tensioner, harmonic balancer, power steering belt, valve cover gaskets, intake plenum gasket, spark plugs, spark plug wires, idle air control valve, egr valve solenoid. Some welding on the exhaust, new wheels. Oh and I had to take a fuel temperature sensor off a Lancer fuel pump and solder it to the sending unit of the 3g fuel pump.

They were modified before fast and furious. In fact, if you look closely enough, you'll see the one in F&F was modified. Universal didn't build the cars in the movie. At most they repainted them then built clones out of base models with cheap body kits and no actual engine or power mods. The eclipse was the cheap way to get into an evo motor and was pretty much always treated like it.

[@joecosta3416]

As someone from Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh area), not buying cars from PA isn't bad advice. It's interesting seeing people not aclimated try to tackle PA rust. We generally need to spray PB blaster on every bolt we are thinking of touching days in advance. I just recently worked on my ex's sister's '13 forester with ultra bad front wheel bearings and ball joints, which ended up in breaking so many bolts, so many bits trying to drill out said broken bolts, and it ended up taking weeks and replacing a hub entirely. I did recently buy a '71 240z from PA that I'm in the process of getting road worthy, but luckily for me it seems to have lived in Texas for a while, so it's been a dream to work on relative to (much newer) cars from here. Good luck!

Ben this series has been so refreshing and entertaining to watch. It has been a dry slump of watching other car youtubers buy brand new cars off the lot and throw thousands of dollars at it.

The ending made my day, looking forward to the road trip series!

I love the dsm content! I owned 2 awd tsi and 1 2g nt eclipse. Love the cars. Thank you for the struggle. My best setup was a sleeper 20g with full bolt ons in a 2g talon. That shit would rip on 30 psi. Obviously overspinning that turbo but as long as it was cool it was wild

I love whoever writes you chapter titles. The “rite of spring” quote is too good

[@The_One_Over_There]

You're working with what you got, and trying to make something out of it, regardless how bad it is. I respect that 👌

[@caldercoley4381]

Can't wait to see and product guys...

[@Yoitsky0hh]

despite the headaches. I feel like this rx8/eclipse series will be one of the best ones yet. Can't wait to see what else you have planned for these two

[@johngarnett1791]

The music just completes the amazingness of this video!!

[@jimmyvo6918]

I love this build. I can't wait for the final finish

[@chrisparr3516]

Really look forward to your videos, great content, big thumbs up from the UK 👍

[@blakewilliams9642]

I really really enjoy watching a car video where the struggle is real. All the shows out there where its just smooth sailing and then you got stuff like this. I'll take these types of videos all day. Its reality. Nothing is easy, especially if your working on a car from Pennsylvania. lol

[@mwong8772]

Good stuff Ben! Keep it going.

[@TheJacksonLS]

Looking forward to the next roadtrip, with Eclipse and RX-8! Congratulations on your excellent work!

[@bradclash]

Loving this build series. Fix the rust issues and keep the car!!!

[@jeffreymoore4132]

I never knew Ben had such great comedic timing/editing. This series is GOLD. An alternative method of chilling aluminum bushings: use a bath of crushed dry ice and ethanol. It'll get you to -109F in MINUTES. Do no handle it with bare hands. It will burn you terribly.

Love the ending, can’t wait to see where you guys take these things, maybe a ski trip to Montreal with those snow tires?

[@ggmmiillff]

Now this is the content ive been missing love it

[@mr_cupcakes1808]

[@mariosmantzakos2708]

i actually enjoyed watching this!! Grass roots engineering ;) keep it up guys

[@zeprajmr3230]

Can't wait to see this DSM on the track or go travel again same as you do to your EVO.

[@MOPainterKid]

As a previous dsm owner of multiple 2g chassis, yes this chassis may be quite too far gone… but I’m so happy to see you give it one last hooray🖤

[@ondreue]

The cinematography is incredible. Great work 🎉 😊
