S series valve body

My 2002 sl2 valve body is bad 142k miles, really really high line pressure and slams every gear

What’s your guys experience on this and what’s a trustworthy company to get a valve body from? Thanks

Any better way to do this?

Sway bar nut backed out after doing this job 6000 miles ago.. and of course this happened 40 miles from home (350 for a tow) I tightened it pretty good so I’m not sure how it loosened up like that. I use a winch to compress the sway bar and the ratchet strap to pull it into the control arm. Does anyone have a better method? Just curious

Our 2 Eclispes

My brother (black) and I (blue) finally got our cars fixed up, some really extensive work but they’re finally on the road! We haven’t cruised together in so long and today was the first day. Life is finally becoming enjoyable again

They look amazing until your a few feet away, but it’s on an 800 dollar car so it’s more than enough

I have steelies and hubcaps for a winter set and got aluminum for summer

THE CENTER CAPS ARE NEXT

2003 GS 5 speed with 195k.
I rebuilt this for college because it was leaking oil everywhere and it felt underpowered. I had the engine bored .5mm over so now the bore size is 86.5mm.
I got most of my internal parts from DNJ. Rod and crank bearings, pistons and rings, and lifters. My oil pump housing was cracked so I ordered an ACL high flow oil pump from Jegs.
Everything measured good other than the piston clearance. I lapped the valves myself and used gaskets only from felpro.
And of course painted tons of parts to make it look prettier. But she feels so much better down the road.
Total cost for everything was about 1000 dollars! So worth it

2007 SE, my brother isn’t a mechanic but the guy who sold it thought the engine was blown, but the clutch relate bearing failed and the flywheel ate the clutch fork causing a racket, so I replaced everything in the clutch system and now she drives! 135k miles and purchased for 1500
