Lol... I'd say it probably more common than what people would think.

I had to pull the rear of my carpet once, and all I found was change lol. Bumper looks cool btw
There is a trunk relief valve and it is common for those to fall out but still be in the area as the bumper keeps it from falling out. Its right rear btw

Couldn't find any 3.0 manual eclipse at the 3 pick n pulls around here but did find a 2.4 so we got the pedals and shift tower out of the way =D

Nice
this whole build is awesome! as if i need to say it, freakin awesome on the custom bumper! can't wait to see it painted. i'll be following this thread for sure!
Haha thanks :) most of what's done is pretty easy stuff (with the right tools) and I am by no means a guy with any experience when it comes to this stuff...just sorta get an idea and try to make it work ^.^
My goal is to have the bumper done with body work in the next 2 weeks, then ready for paint by July. Will keep updating as I go

got the clutch and flywheel in the post today! gearbox should be here in the next couple of days, sucks cuz I have to go pick it up at the fedex place whenever it does get here though...woulda cost too much to have it shipped to the door apparently
Being both a Galant and Lancer owner, I am not so sure about combining the two. Though, I give you mad props for trying something different. Keep it up I am very curious as to how it will turn out painted.
I'm just going for something WAY different than the normal :)

Haha it's gonna be a way bigger smile than that let's face it!

^ Depends on the tits.
Just don't make the mistake every galant owner seems to make in thinking they're 5 speed swapped galant is a race car. Remember, even with the five speed it's still more turdly than a 3g is bone stock.
If it lights you up more than a pair of double D's you have a problem!
Yeah I drive pretty modestly anyway
And her tits were just sorta eh...but my ex's were fucking perfect

I talked him into it because my experience with the auto says that with the supercharger his box is going to blow up in a month, especially since his isn't doing too well in the first place.
To be fair though, it is a huge improvement, I went from a 17 flat to a 15.3 with just the swap, 15 second quarter times still aren't very fast, but for not adding any power or dropping significant weight its a huge drop in time.
Gearbox and starter plate came today!!! Had a date tonight so didn't get a chance to give it the once over but will update later

A drill with a soft wire wheel and then sprayed some WD40 rust prevention on it, one of their new products with the yellow cap, and it can look like this

picked up my clutch master and slave today =]
will probably take some time this weekend and get the pedals pre-installed...don't see any reason not too, get used to the feeling again :bouncy:
and just posted something up but does anyone know if the 2.4 intermediate will work (doubtful but IDK) or the linkages (possibly?)
Your build is sweet, that is some serious work.
There is no intermediate on a 2.4, the 3.0 is the only one with factory equal length axles.
Ight thanks! Guess I woulda figured that out when I crawled under there but that's good to know!
I was reading somewhere that nobody knows how to get them really except used, you know if the dealership might be able to get one?

I remember someone on here said to drill out the holes of the auto one and it will fit since there is a 3mm difference I think. Don't know how safe it will be though.
One of the yards just got a new eclipse in like last week so I'm gonna start by looking at it..,maybe just maybe I'll get licky

of course the new car was a 2.4 auto but was still is good productive day!
picked up the cables, cable bracket mount thing, fluid reservoir, fluid lines, and a few other odds and end :) stopped by the dealership today but parts was closed on sundays so that'll a task for later this week
I'm gonna bug Greg about the intermediate shaft again tomorrow. I need pricing on the fenders for my car anyways.
When I did my swap I got the shaft from the dealer, its pn MR357370, it would be best to find one used since the shaft has to be pressed into the bearing, I usually have a press I can go use though, so its not out of the question.
the press is no issue...I have one out back that I could use. if I got used i would probably replace all that stuff anyway (and im hopefully gonna swing some new cv shaft boots too). I heard they are kinda a bitch to get just right though...too much and they leak, too little and the leak =[
I don't mess with CV boots, usually because the shafts break on mine before anything, the axles are too cheap to totally replace for me to bother.
$50 each at orielly with lifetime warranty ^.^

so with the 5 speed swap coming up (hopefully in the next month) I started thinking about shift lights and of course I cant go with something plain and simple so...

I'm going to attempt something like this (with a mitsu emblem of course!) I just have no idea where to start so...maybe Wednesday or Thursday when I'm not at work I will start tearing apart my cluster to get a few ideas :023:
found a vid on youtube where some guys just took apart the shift light and put the LED in behind the cluster (but that doesn't give any "shape") and have been looking up threads on the various gauges here too...idk what im going to do to make it work yet but who knows, should be a fun experience anyway :)

Got the pedal hung though:

The clutch/brake are pretty close together so I'm going to get under there and adjust it Friday. My foot hits the clutch when braking sometimes, although I could learn to live with it if that's the best it'll get. Found myself "using" the clutch when driving to work and back today :p

A huge special thanks to 6g72gearhead and his buddy for the massive amounts of patience, teaching, sweating, bleeding, cussing, and bullshitin that went along with this! Met some great guys and got some serious work done!

NICE, sooo...how was the first drive?
First drive was awesome, after rebleeding the fluid line at least...then I noticed after a few times later that it was hanging up going into gear :(
I swapped the brake pedal to the manual one today which shifted it more toward the gas pedal making it possible for me to unshim the clutch pedal. With that clutch unshimmed it moved right and up meaning I now have a longer movement and the clutch is disengaging more so all is perfect now!

totally worth it right? My clutch pedal got stiffer after driving it for a few days, keep your eye on the reservoir cup, I think I only had to add fluid once. Oh and I love how easy it is to do a burn out.
Haha thanks for the heads up
I haven't tried lol, although I did smile like an idiot when I scratched second ^.^

Lol looks like you are having some fun! Nice to see one big update so I'm not wondering if you finished what you started lol. Very interested to see what the lancer bumper looks like on the G.
I do have a habit of starting something and loosing interest but not this time!
As far as the bumper, it's coming along. Idk that I will get it finished before school but it's almost all body work now and getting it smoothed over =D when I get a little closer I will put a picture up for an "overall" look before paint/final body work
