As the title suggests, my engine (420a) would try to start but not succeed (at first it started twice, but died both times immediately). I've checked the fuses, spark plugs, wires, replaced the fuel pump and filter, checked the starter, replaced the ignition coil, and verified that there is in...

Thank you, that helps quite a bit. I figured that over the years someone would have made a better unit to eliminate the need for retrofitting, but apparently not. I'll probably get the H1 Stage III setup myself since I have a 99GS that I'm working on.Thanks for taking the time to break it...

You decided that was the best thing you could add to the conversation? No alternative, nothing on what's different now from three years ago when this topic started, nothing about why you think it's cheap and junky, just 'enjoy purchasing cheap plastic junk'?I'd be more apt to listen to you...

Do you have a DSM at the moment or looking to get into it?

Well from what I'm told there's a turbo model eclipse in a salvage yard not far from my house, so I'm going to go check it out today and see what I can get off of it and/or if I could get most of the parts required for a swap. One man's trash as they say...

I know you said you checked the plug and wiring, but are you sure you're getting the right voltage to the sensor? Does it come on automatically, or is it gradual (i.e. could you actually have a temp issue)?If it's an actual temp issue, it could be a hose being restricted and thus reducing...

The term 'plastidipped' had the implication that they were dipped, but I learn something new every day.

Holy hell your car looks amazing 0.o I was told the vibrations from the eclipse tends to damage aftermarket bumpers and skirts over time though, any truth to that? Because that's a really nice setup.

I'm pretty sure the vin will tell you if it should have had turbo at one point, but you won't know if it actually still has it until you look under the hood. Visual inspections are premium.

Orange seems like a stronger color for a sports car, and green seems too child-like in my opinion. But, then again, it's all on what you want and you prefer.

You can buy an entire projector headlight set now for between $180 and $350 depending on what style and brand you want.02-IT-ME95-PCB-RIM Anzo Headlights - Projector (Halo Chrome/Blue) for 95-99 Mitsubishi Eclipse at Andy's Auto Sport

Did you do it yourself, or did you have to take it to a shop?

Awesome, thanks for the tip I'll check the local store here and see if I can find the same stuff. I found a donor car for internal panels at a salvage yard not far from my house, so I'm thinking of taking the time to pull the interior out and replace the carpet (OC auto carpets has a 50%...

Do you remember the brand name of the material you picked up from Lowes?

Did you see if your thermostat is working? Also check the radiator fan if your coolant is overheating.
