I have a 03 Spyder GTS bought mid 03. Anyone have any good advice for care and feeding of convertable top? I have to admit I'm a autowash junkie and am used to buying the full pkg wash with "color fast" cycle. Great for the paint job, not sure what it will do to the cloth top? any suggestions?

Im looking for a book for do-it-yourselfers. mabey a book that walks you through how to replace stock parts for performance parts(ie. cams, rods, valves, etc.).

I've had my 2000 Eclipse GS for about 3 months now and I've finally saved up a little dough to do some upgrades.. Couple ?'s

1) Whats the biggest size rim I can fit on my car without damaging the ride?

2) I'm not into racing my car but I love the way those cars sound.. so is there anything I can do to my ride to give it a little more growl.... Keep in mind I...

default/sad.gif' 'sad.gif' /> Hello! I need help getting instructions on how to make a copy of my key for my eclipse. I dont want to spend near $100 to get a spare key made. I want to buy a cheap one off of ebay and do it myself. Does anyone know how to program the key without 2? I really...

hey guys and gals! i am a newb here with a couple quick questions. i am possibly trading my wifes V6 mustang for a 2003 black/black top eclipse spyder 2.4 I4 tommorrow. the one we are getting is in great shape and has 22000 miles on it. how do yall like your eclipses? are there any major issues with them? any big recalls? i know the new f150s are famous for a vibration issue, any big issues...

This might sound like a stupid question and I will probably catch hell for asking it but i really dont know. I know honda has the Vtech engines but ive never heard anything like that about mitsubishi do we have something like the Vtech and why isnt it as popular if we do.

Right now my car is bone stock, but I am about to put a INJEN exhaust on it and a INJEN CAI. I have heard that the best headers you can buy would be Hytech headers. When i searched for prices of these nothing came up I was wondering if you could install these headers with just the mods I have listed above

help me pick out what to put on my car.
what do u think would look best?

Hey, I was just wondering if its possible for the dealership to void your warranty because you used a thicker oil than the recommended brand. I switched to thicker oil and then had to bring my car in because I was having a starter issue, and they have decided to void my warranty because of the oil I used. What the hell is that???!!!!???

If I were to get aftermarket headers and a aftermarket exhaust... would I need to have my ECU reprogrammed for optimal performance? If so, where would i find a place to do this?

Any suggestions/pics of a good exhaust. I have a 01 Eclipse GS and Im trying to do something nice but I dont want it to sound like a microwave. I also want to do stuff to the stock engine so Im not like one of those Civic fags with a 4cyl engine and a $500 exhaust...honestly I see no point in that.

any suggestions appreciated

Whats up everyone? I own a green 01 clipse' GT 5 speed and I love it. 18" Konig Unknowns, 5% tints, clear corners, 1200 watt system. It looks great and its fast... but for me its not fast enough. I want to know what I can do to improve this, although Im not really looking to turbocharge it. If anyone has any good suggestions or anything, please let me know.

Not trying to bash... just thought this was worth a chuckle

Okay, another question about mt 2001 eclipse GT. When i took my car thru the car wash when i got out i noticed the ANTI-LOCK light and the TCL light on. I called the dealer and they said wait a few days to see if it just dries out. (the 1st time this happened i got the underbody wash) so thinking if i dont get the underbody wash it will be okay. WRONG, took it thru the wash today. and guess what....

Hey. I have a 2001 eclipse GT, and lately when I stop at a traffic light or jus have my car in idel the heater starts blowing cooler air. I have teken it to the shop two times, the first time they charged me 120 bucks to change the radiator hose. it still did not work. The 2nd time i took it in, they said that eclipse's are very sensitive to how much anti-freeze they need. ( mine showed it was...

Hey everyone... A friend of mine has a 02 Eclipse 4cyl, non turbo. Car has about 50k on it and runs good. He bought it a few months ago bone stock, and put on a header, intake and exhaust. Before he put the header on, with the stock manifold when he would drive it hard for a while the manifold would start glowing red.. Is that normal?? The 1st cat was eliminated when the header was...

If i were to install these parts into my 2000 eclipse gt what do you guys think my horsepower would be? I want to install a AEM cold air intake, a B&M short shifter and a magnaflow exhaust but im keeping the stock piping!

Hello,

I am selling my kit due to unexpected bills that I have and just can’t afford to keep it. I got all these parts from FIA/Max-Rev, and got them customized by AAI. They are what I will be selling. Keep in mind that not one of the parts have been used at all (so they are brand new). I purchased gauges a long time ago from a different store online and installed them in my car...

wazup everyone,

i was planning on putting a B&M short shifter on my car but the other day i was looking around in da club3g forum and they were saying that there are some short shifters on ebay that work way better than B&M and they are about $40 bucks!
has anyone here ever bought one before?

later, go raiders

Hello all, I finally got around to replacing the cat under the driver’s seat on my 03 GTS with a straight pipe. Despite all the noise by the nasayers of my previous post (Cat Replacement With Pipe), there was no increase in noise level. There was a small change in pitch. It has a deeper throater sound while accelerating. Power increase was noticeable. A custom muffler shop cut the cat off...

I friend of mine has a 97 eclipse and has told me not to mess with aftermarket headlights for eclipse's. He said it was way more trouble than it was worth with his. Something about having to almost take the whole front end off to change them. I was wondering if the same would apply to our 3g cars as his 2g.

whats a good head unit/ dvd player to replace the stock one.and will any modifications need to be done to the original hole.

Me and another person I know have tried to join the Club 3G site (ecli) for a couple of months. Don't waste your time as the webmaster is asleep at the wheel.

Ok I have another question, about brakes. I want to know who makes a good conversion kit for the rear drums. Let me know thanks.

Does anyone have some information on a solution for getting a bike rack on my 2000 GT.

I dont have a rear spoiler, so that should simplify things ... i hope.
I would prefer a trunk rack that doesnt require a hitch ... but i'll make due if i have to.

thanks ....

OK, I live in ontario where it can get COLD!! When I bought my car in the fall it started up great, no problems.

Bought a used '03 GTS a few months back. Love it, but it has one little annoying glitch -- the driver's side wiper fluid nozzle is aimed wrong. It's pointing too high, so half of the wiper fluid tends to shoot over the top of the car rather than onto the windshield. Even though the car is still under the bumper-to-bumper warranty, the local Mitsu dealership says it's not a...
