live by the eclipse die by the eclipse

[jorozco2]

So i bought my 1998 eclipse when i was 18. She was a gs and after watching fast and furious I too decided to get furious..but that never happened. After treating my girl like crap for 10 years i recently decided to put her back in shape. So i found every orignial part that I ever broke and needed fixing to put her back together. Then i was just decided to buy a g35 one day and it was probably the best decision of my life. She was sooo sexy but 2 days before xmas some douchebag in a gti decided it would be fun to just rear end me and crushed my G dreams. My G was considered a total loss and i only had her for 6 months...Guess what car I'm driving now? I guess it was meant to be me and my 98 eclipse fo' life! I do have a few problems though that i would like to share with you guys.

1) i have these axis 7 mod rims, 19"( shocker! after seeing fast and furious who didn't). and they're all types of hurt. I haves scuffs and i just hit a piece of wood on the highway and it bent my rims? My question is would you trade my rims for gs-t rims and call it a fair trade?

2) When i turn my wheel all the way to the right i hear a knuckling sound, do you think those are my ball joints or an warning that my tie rods are going bad? Thank guys

sorry about bad grammar and no spell checking.

I my self dont mind a few scratches or gouges but when you say "bent" that would kind of concern me. But a pic would help... they are sweet rims tho... if you looked hard enough i bet you could find some one to trade them with pretty easy.

that clunking sound is most likely a cv joint

Yeah, if nothing is obviously loose, then it's probably a dry/worn out CV joint clunking. Are any of the boots torn?
