Its been having probablems since i got it. So this gives me a good chance to go through the car i was woundering if anybody new good parts to you for it, its a 1990 eclpse gst (stock turbo) im trying to keep it under 4k for everything not including the paint rims ect. and suggestions Bodykits? performance? and info/suggestions/parts would help thanks alot

Bodykit... NO!!

It all depends on what you want to do. Stock rebuild will be relatively cheap. If you rebuild everything, you can get over thousands and thousands of $$$. It's your choice on what you want.

USE THE SUB FORUMS!!!

4k for a build.... where to start :devillol:...

I'd do a stock rebuild, have shep rebuild your tranny, get dsmlink, injectors, pump, FPR, exhaust, bigger turbo (I'd suggest a 50 trim), boost control, some guages, FMIC, cams, maybe an Evo III exhaust mani and o2 sensor housing, thats about it. You'll still have some left over if you search around a get good deals. Oh yeah dont forget the alcohol, you might need some of that

SO THE TIMING BELT BREAKING IS A CRANKWALK

I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE THAT WAS WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR WHEN I GOT IT

Where did you come up with this from? He stated in his first post that his timing belt snapped therefore bending valves...crankwalk has nothing to do with HIS problem.....

don't know where crank walk came from, but not crank walk in a 6 bolt

I guess I misread it then. But isn't the belt breaking pretty much the same thing as the belt skipping? The outcome is the same. Maybe I need to read up a little more on crankwalk and what EXACTLY it is.

Yeah. Skipping a tooth or break the belt is not even close to crank walking. When that happens, the head usually gets messed up. When it crank walks, the crank and block gets messed up.
