Valvoline MaxLife 10w-30 or Pennzoil High Mileage and use Seafoam like twice a year in oil, through PCV and in gas

i prefer doing it myself with my preferred car soap(Meguiars Gold Class) which is basically amazing and leaves your car so clean it looks like you waxed it. was surprised myself but i love it. No car wash place(diy or laser car wash) can wash my car like i can. when im in a rush for a cleaner...

i had the same problem with my car a couple of months ago at the alignment shop in the area..its like the biggest shop around here and my car is dropped about 3 inches and was going through front tires like crazy and they got it on the rack by having one guy drive it slowly up the rack and one...

yeah i guess he didnt think it was a good idea to just unbolt the old gs spoiler..but the high rise doesnt exactly look like an OEM turbo wing..more like the look a like eclipse wing sold online. lol too funny though! and the itasca sti looks better anyway. luckily i dont have a reason to post...

hmmm interesting..well you might be right i just saw this by accident and caught my eye..i searched some forums and actually had a guy confirm that it is an actual vehicle used but oh well..doesnt matter hahathanks for the quick reply also

i just came by this today and thought it was interesting and thought id share..some of you live in these states so you might have seen them but supposedly a few states are using Subaru STI's now..not sure about Illinois reason but Colorado Police are using an STI to catch street racers(as seen...

well said..i agree

im personally still indecisive on whether to buy a header or not due to mixed feelings from other 420a owners but as for catback i bought a tsudo Universal muffler(2.5 inlet and 4.5 inch wide tip) and went to a muffler shop and had them custom build me a catback exhaust with 2.5 inch pipping and...

actually there is haha i know a few people who actually have dsm meets in SC but around the greenville/spartanburg area and travel to other areas too..and quite a bit of cars show up too...i was invited to a couple but my car wasnt up to going but ill be around there sooner or later..my older...

2 hours away in Chattanooga TN, but take some drives to ATL just cruising.

yeah i mean they do resemble the 3rd gen wheels, a guy owns a 3rd gen here where i live and they do look alike but the 3rd gen wheels are the same spoke type but the curve out and then in, they are "bubbly" like was said earlier. the evo wheels are just flat spoke wheels.and gofer was...

thats beautiful...too bad the guy wouldnt lower his price..

well i cant run wide wheels cause id rub like a mofo. =/btw my older bro used to live in Greenville..been there a few times. love it there

i know it wont be much..sometimes even 1-2hp if that but i wanted the 4-2-1 to help my low-mid range..and like i said i have a leak in my stock one so i figured id spend $60 to replace it with a header instead of paying to fix it..not exactly knowing where the leak is.

wow you guys really changed my mind..which is weird cause ive done alot of searching and 90% of the dsm guys said their headers improved the performance of their vehicle..the main point is im pretty sure i have an exhaust leak on the stock one since when i seafoam my car it smokes from the...

yeah guys i wont be getting the evo wheels..atleast not from this guy..i offered him up to $300 but he wanted no less than $400 and continued to argue about how they are selling online for $1000 new without tires and i argued back stating they are just stock wheels and so on but he wouldnt budge...

Im wanting to finally get a header for my 420a. I have heard a few bad things about the fitment on the Pacsetter 4-2-1 with the black coating(yes i know the paint will chip off) but its either the Pacesetter or a cheap $60 ebay 4-1 header. I just figure i want a 4-2-1 and i dont want to pass it...

well maybe im the one going senile cause i checked these posts pretty quick and as far as i remember it said 225 haha

if your talking about these than no..well even if you werent talking about these the answer is still no haha

well my rear isnt a problem cause i have the infamous stinkbug 2g look haha so my rearend is higher than frontend and i spoke to the other guy with the TSI with Evo wheels and hes running 225/45/17 with no rubbing ever. so ill be going with those! hopefully i can get these wheels im excited...

its alright take your time..dont get fired haha but yeah check that and let me know..PICS!!!and Delta448 thank you for all your help! right now mine are 18x7.5 and i have 225/40/18 so i really dont see how 225/45/17 would be an issue on a 17x8 wheelon the red talon?? those look super wide...

nice talon..what happened to it??and thank you...im starting to feel more confident about this..i just didnt want to literally stretch a 225/40/17 on the evo wheel and have problems with it looking stretched and being dangerous..so a 225 tire is good on a Evo wheel?? i wouldnt be doing...

yes they are Evo 9 wheels haha thats what this threads about =]

yeah when he said $500 i was like "are you kidding me?" hahaim going to try to get him down to $250..like you said they are oem wheels and the tires are worn to the wire so they definitely have been used alot. and he cant use them since he drives a 240 so he'd just be making some money on...

exactly! its such a hard decision but im leaning alot towards the Evo wheels...im just trying to get my ADR's sold..the only problem is this issue with fitment and rubbing if i get the Evo wheels..but i think im test fitting them tomorrow.yeah i want the Evo's cause i love the look alot...

hahaha i already have the ADR's i want the Evo's!! im trying to meet with this kid to test fit them on my car.and if i do let you get the evo's i want commission hahaKelTsi90 told me he ran 235 and his car rubbed sometimes and now runs 225/45/17 and he said it fits perfectly...but again with...

damn...that makes me kinda iffy about it now..i thought i read somewhere that these wheels originally came with 235/45/17...he said $500 without tires but i told him no more than $300 and he said he'd lower price if i pay cash...it is pretty slammed especially up front but there is exactly 1...

man gofer that has to be one of the best ass shots ive ever seen! im actually getting my exhaust just like that and if i get enough for my wheels im going wingless.they look like they fit perfectly in the wheel wells, i know i wont have a problem in the rear but my front is pretty low..you...

I came across a guy in the area (while trying to trade my Black ADR Vision wheels with tires) who has a set of Evo IX wheels he bought off his buddys Evo 9 which now owns a Skyline r32....he doesnt want to trade being that he drives a 240sx(the evo wheels were on a mazda 3)so i was wondering...

exactly! thats why im confused..i just didnt want to spend $300 for nothing.

Was looking at the 4-2-1 DC header for the non turbo eclipse/talon and this particular ebay ad says in the title above the picture (WITHOUT EGR ONLY)do i have to remove the EGR in order to use this product??? im confused cause ive never heard of such a thing. DC SPORTS 4-2-1 2PCS HEADER 95 96...

yeah for you NeMiZiS it was smart to do the 3" and get that over with since your going turbo..and i thank you for your replies on my other thread about the tsudo..as you can tell from this post i bought a tsudo and cant wait to install it!!and to 805DSM im not going for sleeper with the...

no no im not even considering going 3 inch unless i was running a decent amount of boost. 2.5 is the most i was thinking anyway but im wondering if theres any power loss in going to 2.5 over the stock 2.25

i did a search at autozone and their replacement muffler for the n/t eclipse has a 2 inch inlet...anyone that knows what the stock size is for the rs/gs?

have been contemplating going turbo and still might and if i did it wouldnt be for another year or 2 but i think i just want to get it the way i want until i can afford to buy a gst/gsx/tsi.im leaning toward 2.5anyone else??

Hi guys and girls, i have a N/T Eclipse and will be upgrading exhaust(for real this time) right now all it has is an AEM short ram intake and a welded cheap n1 ebay muffler on stock exhaust pipe. I will be buying either a 4-2-1 or 4-1 header, POSSIBLY AEM Cold Air Intake, have a Tsudo N1 muffler...

yeah i know id have to get it removed, welded grinded, filled and repainted which is something id be willing to do..and about the GS comment. you talking about the Talon high rise wing not matching the body lines of the eclipse? theres actually a couple of cars ive found on here that are...

hey everyone i have a question..i thought about going wingless on my car since im tired of my 3 piece wing, but instead i think im going to go for the high rise Talon wing...now for my question..ofcourse im going to have tons of holes to fix but what im wondering is about the 3rd brake light...

hmmm..well thats weird cause my car isnt turbo and my exhaust sounds great..not raspy at all. its nice a deep and i get compliments all the time.btw MikeL18 love the Talon..really clean!! keep it up

thanks alot! i greatly appreciate the replies..i hope it doesnt sound like a fart can...ive seen alot of videos that sound horrible =]

thank you very much for the quick reply! now it seems i cant find a good looking carbon muffler with a 4.5 tip since i cant afford the hks so it seems ill be settling for a tsudo N1 2.5 inlet with 4.5 tip...which im hoping those are the true measurements.

Hey guys i currently have a 2.5 inlet with 3.5 outlet tip carbon fiber muffler on my RS and am thinking of getting one with 2.5 inlet but a 4.5 outlet cause im just a bit unsatisfied with how small it looks. know i shouldnt go bigger than 2.5 inlet on the NT but would i have any problems with a...

btw my birthday is Jan 2nd. =]

the girlfriend got me a bunch of Meguiars stuff to detail my car and a expandable wash brush that attaches to the water hose with built in soap dispenser haha =]

thank you for all the responses..as for the possibility of being GSX springs they arent..i checked the product numbers and it states for all eclipse models except GSX AWD. i figured the only way to correct this was to buy a new setup cause its probably made to look like this..and yes its...

thank you guys..im pretty sure its not worn struts cause they have been like that since the day of install by my mechanic. and cutting springs is not an option like many would agree with but thank you anyway..im thinking maybe they were installed improperly or they were actually meant to be like...

A year ago i lowered my car with 2 inch springs and tokico blues front and rear. I gave it time to settle but i still have that "stinkbug" look and though it is helpful in cornering it is a bit of an eyesore because the front has no wheel gap showing at all and the rear has about 3 to 4 fingers...

so it was you who took it!! duuuuuuude! =[ the other set i got was from a wrecked burgundy spyder and the guy said some guy came and took the driver cap..i was so upset...

the wrecked gs i bought the complete black set from was a gs hardtop...why do you ask?

yeah thats an idea..and thats fine..if anyone has a driver side front cap they want to get rid of any color shoot me a PM..i just wanted less hassle and just buy one already the stock barcelona red pearl color.i definitely wouldve paid for your complete set but i didnt think of posting a...
