Hi all! This mod looks very clean, and anyone can do it. My step by step guide will ensure you get your calipers lookin awesome! First off, what you need:1) Wire Brush or Wire Brush Drill Accessory (As shown in a picture below) 2) Drill (this makes the work MUCH faster!!!!) 3) VHT Paint in...

Hey guys, DSMs are of course awesome rides, but some people have been telling me that they arent all that reliable in the long run...I didnt start believing this until I had a pretty serious oil leak. I had a shop replace the rear main oil seal, and that fixed 1 of the 2 leaks. Took it to a...

my car has the same problem with the downshifting after being in 2-4 gears...im thinking about just take a week or two and doing a full tranny swap to manual, cause i think my auto is jacked up :'(

would this benefit a FWD car at all then?

Well within the year I've had the car, I haven't had many problems at all with it...this will be the first! But my dad sees it as 'once one thing starts to break, others will soon follow', which I dont think is the case.I love my DSM! I think I'll just keep everyone's thoughts in mind...are...

Hi all, Ive had my Eclipse RS (w/ and auto trans :() for about a year now, and since I'm only a student of 17, I can only do so much to it since I cant have a job while I'm in school. Anyways, I took my car to the shop today to see why I was leaking oil...my mechanic told me it was a bad rear...

Hey All,I did a seach for 'Exhaust steam smoking' but no results were shown...so heres my question: I put on a Tsudo N-1 Cat-back exhaust over the summer as one of my first mods; it sounds great, drives great and everything seems good (except for an oil leak which seems pretty bad at the...

Finally, some Texas DSMers! I live in the Dallas area though :(

Isnt this potentially harmful to our A/T trans? Also, do you have to hit the brake everytime you need to shift from say L - 2 then 2 - D? (or however the order is...)

All you need really is some dawn soap, the kind without ammoneia, and a fabric brush. Just wash the seat with that for a little bit and then dab the nasty stuff off with some fresh water and a towel. thats all i did and you can tell a pretty big difference in color :)as for the stiffness...

All you need is: a nice hard fabric brush, some dawn blue dish soap W/O Ammoneia, some Dupli-Color Vinyl//Fabric Dye (you can easily get this at Auto-Zone or Wal-Mart) and some masking tape to cover off the area you dont want to paintIts all in all a pretty easy process, just take...

yeah sorry about that, thats the flash from the camera. to the human eye its a very nice and dark black :)

**UPDATE** Ok guys, i just finished doing the front seats and just put them back in! :) Here ya go!! My Temporary seat I had to use to back out of my garage...The Finished Front!!P.S: 4G63, I used that Dupli-Color paint which you were addressing, worked like a charm! BUT if you...

Hey guys! I have a friend at school who has a used Subaru turbo (10K miles on the turbo) and a waste gate that he is willing to sell me for $150 flat. I would have to buy all the other parts if i decided to buy this turbo...this is where your opinions come in. Should i buy this turbo? He claims...

Hey guys :) I just bought my Tsudo N-1 Catback exhaust from eracingzone.com, and had it installed today. All i can say about this exhaust, is that its beautiful. VERY nice, low resonant sound, and a really nice look! If you guys are looking for a CHEAP and incredible sounding exhaust, give the...

OK guys, I went around to different stores getting prices on how much it will cost to remove my non-turbo wing, and replace it with my GSX turbo one on my 98 Eclipse RS. So far, the shops have been pretty high...they're saying since they will have to patch 10 holes in the back, just that body...

cool thanks guy, this was exactly the information i was looking for!! Great advice :)

What are some experiences with Kuhmo tires for you guys? Are they quality? Im looking into buying my first pair of wheels and tires...I was looking at 17" Eneki RS7's and Kuhmo tires. Any experiences//comments//problems or praise would be appreciated!!

That might very well be possible as i cant get access to////see the other 4 bolts holding the main part of the wing on.

thanks Green Machine :) But Brad haha man, I dont have those bolts....I pryed (spelling?) the edge of the wing on the trunk up, and i could see i believe two bolts holding each side down...but they're not showing through the trunk!!! Im thinking they are under that extra metal molding on the top...

Hey brad, I still cant see any other bolts under the trunk area of the car...When i pop off those two side parts, the other bolts that hold on the main part of the wing will be there? I dont see how, since its a three piece wing( im not saying your wrong or anything, i just dont see the others...

well Knight, a lot of people recommend (if you want high dollar sound deaden-ing stuff) DynoMat. Pretty costly from what i hear, but you get what you pay for :) Im sure you could just google Sound Dampening Foam or something and check it out there, or go to a car audio place somewhere. Hope that...

so theres really only 1 bolt holding it on? we cant get access to the bolts (if there are any) on the outside edges of the trunk area...Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm replacing my factory non turbo wing with a turbo one that i found at a junk yard off an 98 GSX. The only problem is....how do i go about getting the old wing off? Its the 3 piece wing that came with the car that im trying to get rid of. I found the wires that lead up the main...

Does anyone currently have a shift kit for their A/T Eclipse? I found a Translab one for 90 bucks, brand new! Im just wondering...Is the performance increase noticeable? Any info//opinions on these kits would be appreciated!! Looking into tuning after I get my car painted. Its a 98 RS by the way :)

Thanks man :)

Hey guys :)I bought my car (98 eclipse) used a little less than a year ago, and the previous owner had after market windows installed. Lately, they have been going up REALLY slow, and make a horrible stressed sound when they do....Today they wouldnt go up at all, but they would go down...

I'm buying a Tsudo N-1, I've heard them on eclipses, and they have the really nice low purr to them.

yeah i bought mine from a junkyard for 120$, BRAND NEW looking, balanced it on 1 finger, came with everything i needed for installation as well.

ok thanks :) I kinda had a second thought on the parts, yet the guy who sent me the site says hi parts are working great!

Hi there :) this nice guy from the site gave me the following address http://eracingzone.com/95ecnontucae.html and said that he bought all of his stuff from there. I checked it out, and the prices seem to good to be true! a 500 $ exhaust for 190? Crazy. Anyone know if this stuff is name brand...

Well since this is my DD, I just want it to run to its max potential (being on a teenagers budget ><) and look nice. Yes, the parents own the car!! >< so its totally out of the question to sell and buy a GSX/T or 1g. I could go with the turbo as suggested, and have this really nice import place...

Im 16 and I just got my first job (summer job). I'll make around 3500 without taxes, so that might be like 2900 with or so. I was just thinking of the parts I should get for my 98 eclipse RS. What do you guys think? Please add if I miss something!1) AEM Intake 2) which exhaust from here...

i hate people who mess with my car!! People had the nerve to bend the license plates on mine! GRRRR!!! They're just jealous cuz we have sexy cars :thumb:

on that picture of your newly mounted turbo, can you show me where the BOV is? And also, do only turbos have these? Im new to the turbo world...so i'm really clueless :-/

ok thanks guys, ill take it by jotech racing to see what they think :) But i agree, i believe its transmission as well. (DOH) ><

any help guys? its been 2 days and no replies

well if you use paint, be sure to use VHT Paint with as high a tolerance for heat that you can find. I.E VHT 1200 means the paint will last up to 1200 degrees farenheit.

I went out and bought two 15" led tubes for the footboards of my 98 eclipse, and I'm completely new to electrical stuff!! I know the basics, but my dad knows a whole lot more (but hes out of state right now). Does anyone know how I can tap into the guage dimming switch and use that switch to...

I took my A/T 98 Eclipse to a shop today to see if they could figure out what this weird noise is whenever lower gears...(Example: from Park to Anything else except nuetral). The noise is a grinding noise that starts off low, then gradually gets to a higher grind sound. The tech looked under...

gotta bump for peak hours!

I did this and it was a b!tch to do. hardest $12 bucks I've ever had to install! Once you get it though, it does look nice.

Hi guys, ive got a 98 eclipse A/T, and recently I've noticed that when I brake (like at a stop light or something), as soon as I'm about to stop completely, a grinding sound comes from either under the hood, or under the body...So I thought I might be low on transmission fluid. Did a full...

im in the process of changing the LEDS behind my stock guage now...i ordered some T1.5 bulbs from superbrightleds.com and they are the correct type of bulb, except that they need a little bit of shaving to fit correctly. the T1.5 bulbs are also called 74 bulbs from what i gathered during my...

Im in a crunch for time really guys, but I have someone whos offering me a brand new AEM Short ram intake for $110 flat. Im A/T as well and this will be my first non-interior mod...should I buy this? I read that someone said i need lots of water....shouldnt be hard, right? Opinions NEEDED...

yeah that one was a little sloppy, the other side was a whole lot better. You can either put maskin tape on the brakes and rotor to prevent it from gettin painted, or you can tape the plastic baggy to it.
