Even though you now have an older eclipse, you have upgraded to a much better dsm model. Congratulations and welcome.

I love it when old ladies just love our little Eclipses. The PO must have if she kept it for so long. It's kind of awesome to see all sorts of people thinking these cars are cool.

. Here in Wisconsin these are hard to find with little to no Rust.

Eventually I want to get another one, I had the black interior and I still have the boot cover for it. It wasn't a total loss, because with the insurance money I found my clean 1g. Definitely gotta get my hands on another spyder though, , any big plans for it?

I cant tell you not to, but i highly recommend not getting eBay parts. Exhaust systems seem to be the less crappy, but especially stay away from turbos and clutches --- too many horror stories, in my opinion. They are mostly knock offs and made from cheap materials.
good luck on your build though as im very jealous of your granny eclipse!
