blown struts.

Lol @ thread hijack. I would sell it. if it isnt being driven in the 2 years that you are gone breaks will seize ect and it will take a lot of $$ getting it back on the road when you come back. And if you decide to sell it when you come back then you would have to do the work and lose the money...

sounds like a really cool idea. What kind of gains (functions ect) would you gain by using the evo ecu?

good advice.

car has a title. thats a big 'ol red flag to me. you have no idea what other damage may be hiding in that car. Pass!!

we had a van that was old enough that all the inner walls of the tank had become extremely sticky, so the float would stick right to the side of the tank.

local craigslist or kijiji

Holy shiet no way? lucky you!

that looks wicked!

That looks wicked! and it doesnt have any adverse effects to the paint?

sounds like it was an f1 kit to me.

You will get the most gain out of swaybars, but they will be more expensive (make sure you do the bushings too!) Rear around 153 everything included (addco)With strut bars you will see some gain for relatively cheap. (ebay ect) but if you want to do it right I would go with the sway bars. you...

Be sure to give plenty of notice!

cant go wrong with magnaflow! great quality, great sound. plus you can get sound clips on their website :)

good review. I had the same thing happen when I had bought an ebay intake. Almost impossible to work with after a month or two.

but it can be a huge problem. When I hade my 1st gen probe I had a stripped spark plug well. Luckily I had a friend with a machine shop (well, dads machine shop) to fix it.

Bag and Tag EVERYTHING. The most important thing. Get any and all gaskets that may need replacing or else you will be down a couple days.

do all 2nd gen eclipses do it? or just the 420as because they are more to the one side?

seems like most of the problems are vac leaks and tranny issues?

Id like to see how this turns out. Good to know what vendors are reliable

if your liking your car no reason to trade :D

Zombie thread maybe, but if anyone has fixed their problem it would be great to know what the problem was. seems like a lot of people have had it

Thats what it was when I had the same problem with the probe.

Agreed. Sucks to have your DD down and out, just get her up and running then upgrade.

Im in too! Ill definitely have my Dsm up and going by then

Im in ontario and im finding the same thing. almost every eclipse I look at is rebuilt.

Good to see more literate people around here!

Ontario here, Exnay on the cheap parts. All just about the same price.

oh ok, cool. thats good to know! at what power are we looking at to have to strengthen the manual trans?

Hey guys, quick question, in the probe game it was either MTX or nothing, the ATX probes were shunned. On these forums for ATX seems to be fairly prevalent and common. Is that because a lot of the people on here cant drive stick or is the atx tranny as good as the mtx one on DSM's?

that one got me lol.These seem a lot like the ford probe do's and donts.

A word about cheap power:Fast, reliable, cheap.Pick two because you cant have all three.With $400 a month, I would do all the maintenance first and save whatever I had left until I could do proper power upgrades. That way it wont come to bite you me the butt later.

oh my lord! :thumb:

You cant go wrong with the GR2's. For most applications they are pretty much the same as OEM. I had them on the probe (when the probe was still alive) they looked identical.

Hi there! New here, new to DSM's but not new to cars. I was previously a probe owner, full catback I/H/E struts and springs ect, but that ended.. well....That car was my baby, but its time to move on. Looking at a couple of Eclipses, for sure going with a GSX. Go big or go home...
