#15 of 24 Convertible top protectant by charlottesmom Oct 26, 2008 (4:05 am)
Can someone tell me what kind of protectant I should be using on the soft top of my 2007 Spyder? It still looks good , but I want to be sure I am protecting that black color from fading. Thanks!
#16 of 24 Timing belt hidden problems by warchild138 Nov 11, 2008 (2:15 pm)
I have a 99 GST with 75K miles which I have taken great care of and put a lot of exterior engine performance mod money into. I have had some oil leak problems along the way. I did all the 60K maintenence as recommended, including the timing belt. Recently I took it in to get yet another oil leak fixed. The dealer recommended a new timing belt, due to the oil leaking on it. Awesome, another 700$ on top of the gaskets and such. The next week, my engine began making a god awful noise. I was driving it back to the dealer when my 1 week old timing belt snapped and pretty much destroyed my engine. Apparently, the tensioner bearing for the timing belt froze up and snapped the timing belt. The dealer takes no responsibility for this particular component, and now I need a whole new engine. So you may want to have this part checked if you are already spending a good chunk of cash on a timing belt replacement. So who's got a wrecked car with a sweet engine I could get for a good price? (I'm recently married, so need something reasonable)

#19 of 24 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder 2001 by rhetprof Jun 15, 2009 (1:46 pm)
I've had my Spyder for 8 years and love it! I hope to keep it for many years to come, but as all cars age, they run the risk of normal deterioration. I've kept mine in good condition, always had regular service and oil changes, even have it detailed every summer. With its age, though, I'm thinking of investing in a car warranty with one of the national companies (CarEx or National). I know these usually only cover the powertrain. My question is, how reliable are the powertrains after this long (the car has 94,000 miles on it--we drive a lot in the summers)? Is a warranty a good idea at this point?

Where does everybody purchase their parts for their eclipse? There are several trademotion sites I use. Just wondering what everybody else uses? Best prices for OEM parts are at   http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?siteid=214619 Replies to this message: chrisrolex (Jul 01, 2009 8:50 pm)

#24 of 24 turn signal by rlshirre Aug 16, 2009 (10:01 am)
Right turn signal stays on all the time on eclipse. Think it's the switch. Can anyone tell me how to replace the switch?
