Went to the Junkyard today... still hope 12/25/07

[Divinity]

Found 2 more cars with rear swap setups at a different junkyard, it's a little more expensive than at the other yard, but if you're interested, shoot me a PM by tonight, I'm probably going out of town Friday night/Saturday Morning. Also when I get to Jacksonville, I'll search around there too when I have time.

I can still get him some, he'll probably just have to prep em and spray some chrome paint on there and he should be fine. Now what I forgot to ask... how many sets does he need....

[WarmAndSCSI]

Hey, Divinity, why is this in the 8G forum if there are no 8G's in that list? :lol:

[Divinity]

Well... a lot of stuff can be used on the 8g from these cars... so stfu :P

Well... the 2001+ Chyrslers and only if they have the Mitsubishi 4G64 or 6G72. :smt102

edit: The Stratus/Sebring coupes are the only ones based on the 3G Eclipse platfrom, just FYI.

[Divinity]

Don't forget rear disk swap stuff. That's what I'm getting.

[QnzMostWanted]

[Divinity]

[laxinwarrior]

The crap dark gray "Galant"? Peels right off, didn't even need adhesive remover.

[QnzMostWanted]

on the 94-96 this may be true, but i think on the 97-98 its different, im not 100% sure on that tho

[bmore303]

Wow...completely slipped my mind. I think you're right. Never paid attention to the end of the 97-98 too much to notice.

[Divinity]

So I just got back, as for the 7g letters, they are baked on there pretty good, they look like what bmore said... crappy stretchy things lol, i got one off but i ended up tearing it... so yeah. Chaps if you still want me to try and get those off for you let me know.

As for the eclipse headlights, all of the 2g eclipses were stripped for heads.

No 3gs

There were no 2g GSXs that I saw from badging, I'm assuming you're looking for those 2 piston calipers, but I checked all of the eclipses and they all had 1 piston.

I did find a passenger side window switch and trim for the 7g, Shadow. I'll pm you about it.

As for underated... I'm gonna kill you lol.

I'm probably going back tomorrow or Sunday to get a few things that I missed.

For the 8gs, there are A LOT of rear disc swap parts in that yard. A TON!!!. I can definitely pick those up for anyone who wants it for a very VERY good price.

[Divinity]

Okay everyone, if you want rear disk parts, hit me up with your zip code and I can give you the price shipped to your door if you want to know.

-2 rotors, 2 backing plates, 2 calipers and get your own pads
or
-2 calipers, 2 backing plates if you want to get your own rotors and pads

if you want pads... my tool box might be able to accommodate those, lol

all that other stuff is unnecessary, just use your old ones.

I'll be going back Saturday and/or Sunday so let me know.

[spdracr]

PM sent and thanks in advance

Good luck everyone with the swap. Just did it myself and It came out great thanks Goosey!! :P

No 8gs Diaz, when I go back to Jacksonville, I can look there, I know there were a few 8gs

[spdracr]

What cars are you getting the rear disk swap from?

[Divinity]

Dodge Stratus 2001-2005
Dodge Avenger 1995-2000
Chysler Sebring 1995-2005
2g Eclipse/Talon

[spdracr]

Last night i was looking at prices for the rotors for the 8g lol

[spdracr]

Hey div are you still recovering from yesterday? Lol

[Divinity]

I am completely exhausted. Completely. Went again to the yard yesterday and today. I was able to get a few members parts. When I went today, the cars that were left for swap parts were a complete pain. Either a bolt was stripped to death or the pb blaster couldn't help move the parts or the cars had tires on them and my tire iron wouldn't fit to loosen the lugs. To get the parts needed I had to get a part or two from different cars. Like I had to get a caliper from one, a bracket from another, so on and so on. I even got all the caliper and rotor off on one side of this one car, removed the bolts holding in the knuckle, come to find out that the backing plate was actually welded on to the car (wtf!) I didn't even get a chance to get any of my parts because I was hoping to get it today because I ran out of time yesterday. So that being... I guess I have to wait until they get some more cars there or if I find another place with reasonable prices. By the way, spending 5-6 hrs in the sun pulling parts... IS NOT FUN lol. Not at all.

[QnzMostWanted]

Last night i was looking at prices for the rotors for the 8g lol

rotors would be the same

[spdracr]

what about shoes and pads ??

[underated]

you dont use shoes with a drum to disk swap, thats the whole point... the only "shoes" involved in a disk swap are the ones for the ebrake and ive never seen anybody need to change those

you are getting a setup from a different car why would you buy parts for your old setup just order parts for the car the swap came from

im not %100 sure but i was told the swap is identical from the donor car to our cars so i can order the rotors and pads for the 8g and use them

can someone please correct or confirm this information

thanks guys and thanks div

[underated]

yes you can they use the same rotors and pads but even if you were unsure why not just order rotors and pads for the car you got the parts from?

[spdracr]

i dont know what car they came off yet cuz i really didnt bother ask :D but i can ask hey div which can did u get those from ??

[underated]

no its fine lol you dont gotta ask her anymore questions just get rotors and pads for a 99-03 v6 galant and those will work

[Divinity]

Thanks B, lol.

On another note.... I called up a place that's near my house and they'll let me pull the rear calipers and backing plates from 6 cars that they have.

Only thing is it might be a little more expensive if I quoted you a price before from the other place, but not by that much. Only thing I don't like about J&B are the snakes in the yard and cars :shock: I'm gonna try to stop by there later today.

And oh yeah remember everyone... I'm just providing the parts, it's up to you to know how to do the swap. I'm not a service manual or tutorial :lol:

[Divinity]

Okay what I said earlier... nevermind. I went by the place about an hour ago and all the cars are slammed to the ground and no way to hoist them up. I could get to the calipers, but the backing plates are near impossible to get to because they are either buried in the dirt, or smushed and bent into the ground. So scratch that idea.

[underated]

Div were any of those 99 galant DE's? if so did they have anything in the interior left? you should go and take pictures of the cars there

[Divinity]

I only found two of the galants, both were v6s, one was white, one was... green i think. Both had random woodgrain interior pieces... one was gray, one was tan.... the radio bezel on one was there, but the tabs were broken... that's all I remember about the galants. I think that 3rd one i couldn't find was the infamous invisible one from last time I went there looking for letters.

[underated]

was the white one northstar white? if so did it have a driver side mirror?

[Divinity]

Yeah I think it was Northstar white, but I don't recall if there was a mirror on it. But according to the parts search, it shows that they have two galant mirrors

[Divinity]

Found another place with 2 swaps, check out the post in the beginning of the thread. Also they have some other cars, gotta do some searching, but I know a dude that works in the yard so he'll probably be able to move some cars for me out of the way. Shoot me a pm

[AVERAGE]

Yeah I think it was Northstar white, but I don't recall if there was a mirror on it. But according to the parts search, it shows that they have two galant mirrors How do you know if you have heated mirrors? A buddy of mine broke my passenger mirror and the local yard asked if my mirrors were heated or not; I have no way of knowing :?

[QnzMostWanted]

heated mirrors have 5 wires going to them, non heated has 3 i beleive

[JDM4G64T]

Also the defrost logo would be on the bottom right corner of the mirror.

[dknight3]

im to lazy to read this thread, but if you ever see a set of the black window trim (under the window) send me a pm with a price.

Nah, I saw an 8g today but it look like 9 elephants fell on top of it, and then t-boned by a semi... everything was basically ripped to shreds. Only way I recognized it was an 8g was from the the remaining pieces of woodgrain and steering wheel

[spdracr]

good luck and keep an eye out for those brackets

[Divinity]

good luck and keep an eye out for those brackets
yeah looking, I'm gonna see what's up in J ville saturday or sunday. I found one today on that 8g, but it was bent to shit with a piece of the rotors in it

[Divinity]

Went to a yard Monday here in Jacksonville, pretty much the same as the backup yards in Orlando selection and price wise. 4 8gs and 3 3gs, 2gs, 7gs, dodges, chryslers....one 3g eclipses had 5spd parts, everything still intact from what I can tell. Wednesday or Thursday I'm going to head to another yard in Jacksonville and check it out. If you're still looking for rear swap parts, it's around the price of $100 + shipping. I really wish that other yard would get some more cars in, hard as hell trying to talk these junkyard clowns down on a price!
