I just bought a 98 gsx about a month ago. I had a honda civic for 2 years and put 60k miles on it with no problems before I bought the eclipse. I could say for fact my civic had better reliability but less power, I custom turbod it and pushed about 200whp. I know the civic wouldve beat this gsx, but I had to do so much stuff to get 200whp out of an economy 1.7 liter. I bought gsx because I want to run more power without the damn tires smoking everytime. My eclipse wouldve been modded right now but since I put the money to matinence instead of horsepower, I will have to wait for the power im looking for.
Since then, I have done the whole t-belt service including the cover. I did oil change, replaced tranny fluid and the rear differential fluid, replaced oil dipstick, fixed reverse light, it ended up being the sensor on the tranny, cleaned throttle body, fixed my damn sunroof from banging the chasis, replaced fog lights. What I really want to fix is the creaking sound coming from the back. THe car came with tokico shocks and eibach springs, since then I bought a camber kit and installed it, and then did an alignment afterward I spent about 700 in parts for this but since I do have some knowledge I did most the work and saved on labor.
There is still so much more things I can learn from this site.
Forgot to mention since I got the dsm I pulled over numerous times to strangers to talk about the car they admire=X, with my sleeper turbo civic I never had one incident where someone wanted to see the car even though it had good power for the weight.
