YERFDOG'S 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX

Oh shit! I do remember . Yours is way cleaner than mine by far. Surface rust has taken over the underneath unfortunately. But I'm replacing everything slowly but surely!

Yeah, luckily mine has spent its whole life on the salt-free west coast! I also follow you on Instagram, I have a white Jeep also! JEEP/Mitsubishi combo for the win!

UPDATE 4/29/2018
So I removed the exhaust manifold to install a coated FP manifold and heatshield and halfway through having everything off, I decided to order a Megan Racing O2 housing to compliment the downpipe and manifold. Probably overkill for the T25, but I'm not planning on upgrading at this time. I'm still undecided about which route to go (T28, EVOIII 16G). I also painted the lower heat shield black to clean it up. I still need to paint my brake/clutch reservoir caps, dipstick handle, and coolant reservoir. I may order a different coolant reservoir though, not too sure yet.

To-Be Installed:
RM Racing Sway Bars
Sway Bar End Links
New Under-hood Insulator & Clips
Waiting to be delivered:
FEAL 441 Coilovers

UPDATE 5/4/2018
I painted a few engine bay items (coolant reservoir, brake/clutch fluid caps, oil dipstick handle, and the underhood insulator clips). I also cleaned the underside of the hood, and installed a BRAND NEW insulator! Looks great! My coilovers arrived so I'll need to make some time to get those installed. My list of "Need to Install" items has grown so I have some work to do .

Need to Install:
Feal 441 Coilovers
RM Racing Sway Bars
eBay Front Lip (Installed 5/5/18)
DCP Polished Reservoir Brackets (Installed 5/5/18)
Frontline Fab Dipstick Handle
Sunroof Wind Deflector

Need to Order:
STM Rear Camber Kit

UPDATE 5/5/2018
Lets update this again!! Today I installed the eBay front lip. I like it. We'll see how long it lasts on there though, especially once I install the coilovers. I also finally installed the DCP brake and clutch fluid reservoirs that I ordered a long time ago. They go great with the polished theme I have going in the engine bay. I then removed the hood prop since I don't need it anymore with the struts. And a car wash to be squeaky clean for Cars & Coffee tomorrow.

I didn't take any pics unfortunately, but I stole these from my buddy's Instagram story! The GSX brought a lot of attention which was awesome.

Any tricks to the brakets? Cant open em up enough without disconnecting the lines and bleeding everything from what I can tell. A bit inconvenient if it aint broke dont wana mess with it and get air in there...

UPDATE 7/5/2018
Feal 441 coil-overs and RM Racing sway bars are now installed! The car has never driven so well! WOW! What a difference. I also took some pictures of the Eclipse with my Jeep (before the coil-over install).

I see on Feal's website that they have those shock covers as an option to buy. It looks like you didn't get those. Is there really a benefit to them?

Beautiful car by the way!

Thank you! As for the shock covers, I didn't get them. I think they just help keep out dust and debris from the shock.

UPDATE 10/9/2018
I haven't done a whole lot to the Eclipse the past few months... But, ever since I've owned the car my rear bumper never sat flush with the quarter panels so I took it off, and refit it. What a job that is... -_- I also installed a black non-powered antenna, a sunroof deflector and did an oil change. Also got another pic from Cars & Coffee October 2018!

Went for a little night cruise and took some pictures in a nicely lit parking garage. iPhone pictures... Wish I had a better camera.
