Wow i thought 'd never be back on this site but here i am. I've owned 2 eclipses, 1 NA, 1 turbo vert turbo, and one 90 talon AWD. Then about a year ago i sold my gst and purchased a mr2 turbo. I instantly fell in love with the car. It pulled skid pad numbers as good as a Ferrari f40...

Hi guys, I have been looking at purchasing a new car. I have a 97 GST spyder with your basic bolt ons to the stock t25 and motor. I was convinced my next car was going to be a gsx, until my brother convinced me to look into the 93-95 MR2 Turbo. He mentioned it was the cheapest way to go quick...

i have a greddy intercooler, but 2 of the couplers have holes causing boost leaks and a rich fuel mixture and decreased performance. I"m trying to find a place that sells strong couplers. I could care less bout color just strength. I'm not sure about the size of the piping but i believe it is...

I need help getting my 97 passenger side fog light apart so i can change out the bulb with one the isn't burnt out. as far as i can tell the problem i am having is not having a tool to take it apart, its a star shaped screw but the catch is that there is a piece of metal so you can't insert...

hi there i'm looking into buying and installing a turbo on my eclipse on a short budget. I never plan on getting larger injectors or anything to tune, i just need to change my t25 cause its getting old and blowing oil through my intake pipes. So i figured why not do a small upgrade so i've...

I have a 97 gst spyder upgrades are FMIC, intake, turboback exhaust, boost controller, clutch and fly. just enough to max the stock turbo out. well i am very happy with the power the t 25 puts out but my turbo is getting old and i'm shopping for a new one. since i'm replacing i figure i...

I'm not sure what the problem is with my clutch but after i take a long drive with out pushing the pedal it eventually goes soft on me so when i come to an exit on the high way and push the clutch in to disengauge it, the thing is hard to get out of gear and into a lower gear. My solution to...

i just bought a 90 tsi awd and brought it home to do a compression test and found the first cylinder ( passenger side ) had a compression of 10-20. I added a cap full of oil into the first cylinder and nothing changed as far as psi. also when i pulled the plugs and wires that first cylinder...

my 97 eclipse gst is having a problem. It doesn't want to go into first gear unless i put it into a different gear first (IE 2nd gear). After that is shifts like butter. If i try to put it into first comming to a stop it goes in nicely at slower speeds (less then 10 miles per hour). I...

my A/f gauge is doing wierd things. If i give the car full gas it lights up one or 2 green lights at the end of the spectrum but when not giving full gas, (just cruising around) most if not all of the 20 led lights light up so its like a constantly on light show of every light on the gauge. I...

Well i'm not ready to give up on my Eclipse, i love it but its giving me some problems that i can't find answers to. My check engine light came on (driving normal at the time) so i went to autozone to have it diagnosed. it came back saying i had a low fuel trim PO170 bank 1. They cleared the...
