    Well I'm not throwing any old parts out just yet. So maybe I'll see if I can make the 4 cylinder rack work. It should have the same coupling to the column

    Today's update.... clutch master cylinder installed, clutch pedal installed, brake pedal installed, shifter and cables installed, steering column installed, 99% of wiring finished, starter installed, power steering pump installed, exhaust installed, battery tray installed, 1 bolt left for the alternator, 1 more line to install for power steering, vacuum and coolant lines attached to engine. I'm pretty sure I successfully bypassed the immobilizer. Won't know for sure until it's running, but I cranked it for a second.

    Immobilizer will allow to crank. It'll cut ignition once it turns over.

    Take the immobilizer box and key/tumbler from eclipse then it'll work.

    Also you should upgrade to the sportier 3G steering wheel while you're at it.

    I'll most likely have everything installed Monday. I can check the immobilizer then. The 3g steering wheel has a big stupid sticker on it. Idk if it's covering a defect or if I can get it all off. I'll check

    Is there an immobilizer bypass I can buy? Wouldn't a remote start system include something like that?

    By pass is to fool the ecu into thinking the correct key is in the tumbler. But ut requires the the use of matching ecu, in this case the V6.

    You're only other option would be to disable the immobilizer with a computer and programming cable, I personally still have not played around with that.

    Since you swapped harnesses and ECU. Simply plug in the immobilizer box located under the radio and switch out the ignition switches and it'll work.

    It's not the tumbler, it's the lighted ring that detects the rf in the key fyi

    ^^^ Correct. The ring detects the RF signal coming from the key and transmits it to the box under the radio and to the ECU.

    But the eclipse key won't turn the Galant switch therfore the switch part has to be swapped too.

    My focus is on getting it on the road first. Then I can start making it look better. No point in having a nice looking car that doesn't run

    It's getting there. Had to use the 4g64 power steering line. The 6g72 is too short.

    Yea, that pump is in back on the V6 and up front on the i4.

    Keep up the updates bro. Real good stuff happening here.

    Have about what fluid to run in the 5 speed?

    I believe that covers GL5 applications which you do not want.

    I ordered RedLine MT90. I switched from Pennzoil SynchroMesh and I love it I wouldn't run anything else.

    I looked at SynchroMesh and it didn't say GL4. This says API GL-4 on it. Still no good?

    It's when it states GL5 that I don't feel comfortable running it. Something about our brass synchros.

    SynchroMesh for me was very notchy shifting in.

    It's so close to running. New axles are in. Spindles, brakes, and belts are all in. I need to wire in the immobilizer and fill fluids. Hopefully it's on the road tomorrow
