Hi my name is mike, i recently bought a new 1999 eclipse GST. It has 130k miles runs GREAT no rust no body issues no engine issues. When i first had it i did the basic maintenance that everyone talks about after the rubber hose from turbo split at the clamp, i changed the spark plugs wires etc. I have put about 1500-2000 already into parts like the Convertible top, sparks and wire set, spark cover that was destroyed, CAM sensor. It recently had an oil change i checked the trans fluid ive done all the basics and everything seems to be okay, now im at the step where i want to get it as much performance it can handle without buying DSM link, IF DSM link is a MUST have then so be it im prepared to buy it however im wanting to know what people would recommend for the BEST and for a good price. I wanna make sure i do it right and not have to be one of those fail owners. 1 question i do have is why is a timing belt so important? mine doesnt seem like its in bad shape and seems to run just fine the other question i have is also when i hit big bumps it likes to sway heavy side to side wondering if thats a sway bar link or the bar it self or bad suspension? i do know my back suspension needs replaced which is on the way.
If you guys could please help me out with any suggestions for parts that is known to be good for this car i would greatly appreciate it! also if anyone can answer my questions that would also be great.
PS i am not wanting to have 500 HP im wanting max of 380-400. I was told Turbo boost would be a good start gauges, exhaust, intercooler, and turbo for starters. Just wanting to make sure that the engine thats currently in my car can handle it and if anyone has any clear signs that i need to be worried about in regards to this engine. I hear it being a lancer engine that is pretty reliable and so far its proven to be right just people out there have had far more experience with it and id like to know the knowledge as well.
Any tips and information is greatly appreciated!
Much love #DSMLOVE
