Can anyone help me with this? Not sure what to do next but I think my replacement compressor is unworking in my 09GT - Had the original compressor in and I believe I messed it up (last year) because I took an old can of refrigerant and used that to top up and then shortly thereafter the...

My son recently purchased a 2009 Eclipse Spyder. Its a great looking car but needs a rear bumper cover replacement. He is looking at maybe a front and rear bumper cover kit to upgrade the look. We are seeing mixed reviews on the kits and wanted to research what would be the best. Has anyone...

A while back I changed my spark plugs for the first time and noticed some oil in cylinders #2 and #3. It wasn't an alarming amount and it was mostly up by the top of the plug and not at the bottom, so after a chat with my mechanic friend I decided it wasn't an emergency. I bought the valve cover...

I've had RRE headers a few years now, and the car is running better than ever. At some point soon tho, I have to assume the 3rd cat will start to clog and fail due to age and especially since running headers. So 2 questions, 1) what are symptoms of a failing 3rd cat? 2) I'm inclined to...

So I just replaced the convertible top on my 2007 Spyder GS. If anybody has any questions, throw them in here and I'll do my best to answer them. Here are some pictures I took while in the process and after. I bought the top for $350 plus taxes. A few issues I had was getting the top aligned...

In order to rebuild an old, rusty motor, you need to go through every single component. As a matter of fact, you'd be better off replacing factory parts with aftermarket goodies. On a Hummer H3, replacing the stock cast iron exhaust manifold is a necessity, due to it being prone to cracking...

Hi all, 10 years ago when I bought my eclipse (3.8L V6) I had an Eibach lowering springs/kit installed. I just recently broke the rear passenger spring. The mechanic said I'd have to make sure to get the same size replacement spring. The problem is I can't remember the size of the springs...

Dammit. Okay. I accidentally broke the red wire (for the aux cable) and bent the damn harness trying to get the pin out (you can see what I mean in the picture). :facepalm: I was able to shave the coating and shove the wire back in there. Harness clicked and it's staying in there (though a bit...

Alright so my hood latch broke last week, and I am unable to find a replacement anywhere that ships to Canada. Was wondering on people's thoughts of installing Locking hood pins in its place. Hood is the OEM steel hood not a carbon fiber or Fiberglass.

So I had a code on my 2006 mitsubishi eclipse gs 2.4 L 4 cylinder. Where it said Catalytic converter warm up efficiency was bad. I was told it could be one of a few things. The MAF sensor (I replaced it, and made no change) the catalytic converter was bad, or that it was the downstream oxygen...

Hi everyone, I've creeped these forums for a couple of years since getting my Eclipse for ideas on what's working for others and what I should avoid. About a year ago I saw both the AWD Eclipse that's been created and a video on a Civic Type-R with in-hub electric motors on the rear wheels to...

Greetings all new here - just bought a 2006 GT/manual. Absolutely love it! It came with a new driver's side door latch - owner said it needed it for the power lock to work. Is there a good write-up here for ripping into that door panel? Lots of bolts! LOL... I've been searching for a...

So that some of you will benefit from my experience. I needed to change my upstream, driver's side oxygen sensor. I went to RockAuto and ordered a Bosch 15582 oxygen sensor. In the description for this part, it says that the wires from the sensor to the plug is 18.1". After removing the old...

The molded carpet in my 2009 GS is starting to show some wear and wanting to replace. Did some searching and apparent that might not be possible since I was only able to find a dealer that went up to only 2005. Is this a hard truth that no one is out there offering an OEM replacement for the 4G...
