2G When you say, "Just going to change to LEDs".

[Dusty Landrum]

So just got my bone stock 1999 Eclipse GSX back after being in storage for 6 years. This is now my third 2G Eclipse and I have had one since I was 16, now 34. I started with a 96 GS then moved to a 97 Spyder GS-T and then right before a move to Hawaii I bought the 99 GSX. As a teenager I always tore the GS apart and did super cheap mods to it, while still having to drive it around as my daily. Well now that I am older I now have a dedicated garage for her and when I finally had her shipped from Atlanta, GA to the bay area where I live now, I told myself I would move slow and only do small things at first. Well..... this is what happens when you own a DSM and begin with just saying I am only going to do an LED swap on the cluster hahahaha. Just thought this was hilarious and that a lot of people on here can relate. Now I am prepping the car for a deep clean and restoring dirty/dull parts/hoses etc. More to come. The worse part of all this was the brittle plastic clips/retainers and the slightly rusty parts attaching the front bumper.. plus the misinformation on youtube about removing most things .

Are we ever really done? I always have something going on, be it big or ever so small.
Glad you joined in for all the fun Dusty!!!
Pretty soon you will have a boost gauge that looks like this........ and the cycle continues....

We can all relate. My car went from running condition just needing an engine bay cleaning to this in a few hours last week.

Hahahahahahaha nice photoshop with the needle!! I am thinking for now that I want to keep it pretty stock. Front mount, the 16g I have and hard pipes but besides that I want to keep it stock. We will see though!

So I have been seeing a lot of people doing these strut tower fixes and I inspected mine and eveything looks pretty good for now. I am the second owner and it was garaged and then in storage so hopefully it stays rust-free for a while. Looks like a pain to repair and reseal everything!

If it was stored and inside, you have a nice platform to do whatever you feel like doing Dusty!
Just had to tease you with the boost gauge
