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?

Does anybody know where i could find one for less than $500(yeah thats funny aint it)

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'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? ...

I was wondering if anyone new the sizing for tires and wheels for an 01 RS. as a buying guide i guess.

iv been researching around forums and it seems like they both get 26MPG on average. i no this is a eclipse forum so it will probly be one sided but what would you...

So my check engine lights on, I paid meineke for a $45 diagnostic. The genius failed to give mt the OBD codes, because he didn't write them down. But at least he remembers it was the air intake sensor. Supposedly the car is fine, the sensor itself is bad, so that needs replaced. I have looked in the service manual and see how to do it. I'm not 100% sure where thats located though. And...

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 just changed my dashboard lights to make them blue and for some reason they just wont light up, i put the OEM lights back in and they light up fine. Does anyone know what the reason is for these lights not lighting up?

i researched the dohc swap for my 3g and i think its too much money for the performance i would get so ive came to a final decision and would like input on ppl that have had either one of these cars. 3g gst or 1g talon tsi. cant decide if i want to boost my 3g or just keep it for DD and buy a talon tsi and fix it up. what do you guys think? i would love to just boost my car but im not sure if it...

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?

Hello

I have a 2000 eclipse Gt and the volume button on the radio does not work, you can turn the dial up and down but nothing happens. Everything else works, the cds will play but the volume does not work and you can change the radio station.

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.

i am looking at a 2000 eclipse gt used that i would like to get. but on the test drive the steering wheel shakes. what does this mean? it doesnt at low speeds really but lil higher on the interstate it shook worse.

Has anybody done a timing belt themselves on a 2003 2.4L eclipse? I''m looking through the shop manual and there are a bunch of special tools listed. Just wondering if I can get by without them. Any other pointers would be welcome.

Have a great day!

Allright so my GT skiped a few teeth on my timing belt WHICH SUX! i hate screwing with the timing belt since the v6 is a dual cam it sill runs on the second belt but for the most part it kinda ment i was running it home on 3 cil so it ran like crap has anyone heard of a "Belt-To-Chain" Conversion Kit?

Hey I've recently bought and installed some new headlights that included halo lights. The headlights themselves were just plug and play but the halos aren't. They come with two wire connections and I just need a little assurance that I've got the right idea before I go splicing for a hook up.

Do I splice with the park/ turn signal lights?
If yes, I've noticed that...

The O2 sensors on the headers pre/post header cats... are they the identical sensors? Does anyone have the part number for them, or know where I can it? Preferably Denso sensor part numbers, car is cali spec emissions if that's important

First off plez don't get mad at this post. I went through threads over and over. I bought a diamante intake manifold With the throttle body from the junkyard for 70 bucks.

ok so im pretty stupid when it comes to cars, but im working on that. ive owned a 2003 mitsubishi eclipse gs for a while now, and since im still in high school, its under my father's name as ownership. he's lazy and stupid, and thinks cars never need work done, that they'll just repair themselves. im not however, and i know work needs done. the check engine light has been on for about...

I see so many products for the GT, GS, etc. but i never see anything for an RS 4cyl. any help on what to look for or where to find them would be appreciated.

I have had my 01 spyder for three weeks now, problem free and I love it!

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...

Hey guy's how's it going. Wondering if I can get some HELP! Okay so I did somthing stupid last night.

Hi all, new to the forum.

Also had a question if you don't mind.
i just purchased 2001 Eclipse GT v6 3.0. And discover 2 problems already.

1-- Water pump needs to be replaced. And im being quoted around 400 to fix it.
Any of you have done this service how reasonable is that amount?


2-- I don't know the access code to the Head Unit. I...

Ok here is a question if you buy aftermarket injectors can you use a fuel pressure
reg to tune them for max power or do you have to get a ecu programmer?
