I recently purchased a 2003 Spyder Gt 5 speed and was considering doing a cam upgrade. I searched for someone that has a cam upgrade and didn't find it hence my post. I know RPW is supposed to make it and one of the members here distributes their products and would like more information on them.
Thanks in advance!

The Timing belt tensoner pully, it is extremly easy to F*** up! mine did just a few days ago and i did some research to try top find a conversion from belt to chain so i could get ridd of the **** thing plus if ur gonna race chain is way more relyable than belt ever could be and usually lasts the life of the car so i think ima call up AEM and see if they can come up with custom change-over......

I'm at 57,000 miles on my Eclipse GTS 2004 and I know I'm due for my 60k maintenance appointment soon. My mechanic said it's a timely, important, and expensive maintenance point for my car. I called him today for a rough price estimate and he said between $600-800 depending on the condition of everything under my hood.
1. What is an appropriate price for a 60K...

I over tightened the vavle cover bolts, I read 30 ft-lb so i set it up and tighten them, and it flatten three, before I noticed what was going on. I looked again it failed to notice 30 in-lb was what it said.
What do i do? can I removed the bots and reshap the cover? or do I have to get a new cover? I did flatten spots on front cover. Thank you

I recently put a performance header on my 2004 Eclipse GS. Ever since I did, my Service Engine Soon light has been on. Autozone said it had something to do with my O2 Sensor but I bought a new one and still have the problem. Does anybody put an O2 simulator on their car before or have any suggestions?

Do they make a throttle body spacer for a 2004 eclipse gs 2.4l engine? I have been looking online but the closest that I can find is a spacer for a 2001 Eclipse GS. Does anyone know if the 2001 GS and the 2004 GS have the same throttle body?

Hi,
I sparingly drive my 2002 RS Eclipse with 54k miles on it. (2-3 times a week for about 10 miles each time)
I've noticed a strong fuel odor from the exhaust when I first start the vehicle and after I've driven it for a bit.
I don't notice odor eminating from other parts of the vehicle.
What issues are most probable for this case? ...

It look like there is a small coolant leak on my 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse. There is a small amount of green stuff on the hose connected from the radiator and then to the engine. The coolant reservoir seems to be at low every few weeks until I fill it up. Is this normal? My engine has not been overheating.

i recently purchased some blue lights for my gauge cluster, i installed them and nothing happened, so then i realized that the gauge face is amber so for me to change the color i have to remove the film on that cluster correct?
if that is correct how you would remove the amber film over the gauge face?
acetone?
sandpaper?
do i have to remove the needles?

I have a few maintenance questions concerning a 2002 Eclipse Spyder. First, what is the air purifier filter? I know about the filter that is under the hood but the Eclipse manual says to replace the "air purifier filter" and "air cleaner filter". Are they different? Also, does the 2002 Eclipse ever need to have the fuel filter or the PCV valve changed? Thanks!

Took a photo yesterday and figured I'd make a dedicated post to it just because of the quality of the image. The recent addition was adding a 3.5" to 8" polished bellmouth on the inlet of the Supercharger. Otherwise, really no significant changes as of current.

Last night the service engine soon light came on. The car still drives perfectly. I was wondering what are the circumstances for this light coming on? It was serviced before I picked it up, and the oil is topped up and a good colour. I'm guessing that I should take it to a garage and get some ECU codes...
