Well, my car keeping true to it's reputation of being an asshole, decided to take another dump on my face. It was leaking oil from the driver's side rear of the block, which usually indicates a headgasket on our cars. I was holding out hope that it was just the brass t-fitting for my turbo feed line and my oil pressure gauge leaking. Well I was right. It WAS the t-fitting, oh yeah and the HG! I'm going to replace the t-fitting with something other than brass this time. Why does it have to be in the middle of winter when things like this happen? lol. It really makes me wish that I had a garage. I'll be driveway-ing it this weekend.

Sorry, I just felt like bitching. I've got to hear tons of shit from my fiance about how unreliable the car is and how I should buy a new one and blah blah blah. Ugh.

I can't seem to make her understand that I LOVE my car. She looks at it as this "burden" while I view it as a work in progress. Oh well, I'll keep fixing it and keep defending it for as long as I have my sanity.

Anyhow, I would love to get it to the dyno to tune it and see what it's throwing down, but it's just like every time I say the word "dyno" around my car it gets all freaked out and takes a shit down its leg. Go figure.

My fiance is the same way about the new talon I got that pooped out on me. I guess they just don't understand.

Same here. When I grenaded my engine, it sat out for a little while. My parents especially couldn't understand what the f*ck I was doing. But, as long as I'm breathing I'll defend my car!!!!

ouch sorry to hear, mines fucked too if it makes you feel any better. btw your engine bay is beautiful.

On the fiance/gf topic, my gf just encouraged me to get my Evo b/c she hates the eclipse so much, but she does at least realize I love that car almost as much as her and she knows I won't get rid of it. Then she tried saying something about I'm not gonna mod the evo and I told her she was dead wrong about that. She wasn't too happy, lol.

I contributed to the Wiki!
EVO IX - just a really expensive boost gauge and a K&N air filter
96 Eclipse RS -awaiting registration and inspection
95 Eclipse GS - parts car

Mine died by way of the head gasket, so I sold that whore for a gsx.

'95 GSX - Big16G ~ Leaks, but atleast it runs.

Hey dawg, I've got ARP headstuds on it already. Are you saying to replace those or should I be good? Thanks for the info btw

Stick with them. No need to replace.

Yes I realize you probably have it in your 3 page modlist, but I hate those and never read them.
