hey guys, i recently traded my honda civic for a 2g eclipse gs n/t. it's got a bunch of problems and dirty mods done to it, so i'll be on here nearly 24/7 researching and asking questions. anyway, since i don't know where to post stuff, i'm just gonna lay it all out here to start:
>riding donut because of accident(getting new rims and tires tuesday for $150 )
>hatch struts don't hold
>no radio/headunit, it's an open loom with loose wires
>radiator fans don't work and the low fan is jerryrigged to the battery and under dash fuse box to make it start, the high fan still doesn't start
>loose wires in engine bay that should be attached to something aren't
>center console is cracked
>under hood fusebox is missing mounting pins for cooling fan relay and top fuse
>power steering doesn't work
>CEL came on, but autozone's check thing wouldn't even pick up a signal
>odometer reading is exempt from title for some reason, so there was either a motor or dash swap at some point and they failed to record it
>moonroof has no upholstry
>crappy black cloth headliner is falling
>passenger airbag cover is peeling up
>no front bumper reinforcement
>license plate lights were ripped out
>trunk leaks in rain
>so many misc open ugly wires in engine bay it's not even funny
>previous owner was a sloppy smoker so there are burn marks in every seat but the driver's
>wired for an aftermarket amp and subs, but there's no aftermarket amp or subs
>bumpers and side skirts don't match the car
as for the good, the stage 2 clutch and short shifter work great. the pickup is better than my civic
my main priorities for inspection right now are
>new rims/tires
>loose wires in engine bay
>CEL
i'm pretty good with working on things myself, and can tackle pretty much anything but welding, so unless it's a super special job, i can get it done
i will be able to provide pics if anybody is willing or able to help
thanks!
