Hi all, posting this in case anyone else has a similar issue. I’m running speed density with ECMLInk using an OmniPower universal 4 Bar MAP sensor.It’s been fine for 5+ years but recently developed what started as a very infrequent and an intermittent issue of the car misfiring and then at...
Hello all, It appears the OEM Mitsubishi TPS is no longer available. I’ve seen numerous aftermarket brand options ranging from as little as $30 ish to well over $100.Can amyone recommend a decent, and reliable aftermarket alternative to the original OEM TPS?
Well, I painted the car and re-did the interior a few months back. Just a quick vid from yesterday that I put up on YouTube:‘98 GST - Evo Wicked white repaint. One owner.
Hello all,On my 1998 Eclipse GST I’m in the process of replacing basically all of my AC components including putting in a new AC compressor. Have not yet pulled the old OEM compressor but from looking at top and bottom of it I don’t see any tag or label on it. I’m the original owner of the...
My 98 GST has for the last +/- 8 years had a set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs with Tokico Illumina Shocks. I have been VERY happy with that set up but the shocks - front and back - are starting to sag some and maybe the springs are wearing also and I'm gonna replace them.I got a GREAT deal...

Installed a set of these today on my 1998 Eclipse GST. Size are 225/40/18. What an incredible grip and traction compared to my old Nexxen N5000s - not even in the same universe!
After doing the silicone spray stuff on the weatherstripping, white lithium grease on the tracks, etc - which helped for a while but only to a degree - I finally got tired of my slow windows and realized the motors were by now just about dead. So yesterday I spent about 2 hours replacing my...

About 3 years back I had done pretty much all the bolt-on mods possible on my original owner '98 GST. The car ran great for about 2 years and then in January 2010, to make a long story short, a broken seal on a rubber hose on a vaccuum hose caused a boost leak and after some other issues I...
Ordered them a few weeks ago from MAPerformance and finally have broken them in enough to do some hard stops.All I can say is WOW!!!!!13" rotors, dual piston calipers, SST lines. Too bad they don't make a rear kit...They stop so much better than the stocks you almost feel like...

I have a 98 GST with 18" rims so I can accomodate much larger brakes. I am only considering upgrading the front brakes only.I've been considering one of the following three options:A) Upgrading to the stronger GSX calipers and slightly larger GSX sized rotors (approx 10.7")B)...
Just an initial review here, will post a follow up after it rains and some more time passes with this.I *finally* got a car cover for the 98 Eclipse GST.After looking at and considering some generic sized covers from local auto parts stores ($65 +/-) I decided to bite the bullet and...
3M Marine Vinyl Cleaner, Conditioner and ProtectantI've used this product for years both on my Eclipse's interior parts (especially the dash) as well as the upholstery on my boat.It really is awesome and seems to work very differently than Armorall for example. It is a gel as opposed...

For those of us with 2Gs with sunroofs, you probably all know by now the metal frame of the sunroof glass assembly is prone to rusting.I am the original owner of my '98 GST and plan to keep the car very long term if possible. This is actually the second one that replaced the original...

I have a Walbro 255 lph fuel pump direct wired on my '98 GST.The Walbro whines obnoxiously, especially when the fuel level drops below 2/3 tank or if the car has been running a long time. My electrical system is sound with clean, solid ground, new and fully charged battery and...
