I did that today, haha. The pics were taken yesterday... I put new plugs and changed the oil and other stuff like that too

[BassDrop]

My first car was my Eclipse too! I love the thing. I get harrassed at school for driving a "chick car", but whatever.
Change out those headlights soon though man.

I get that a lot too! Haha, and yeah that's one of the first things I plan on doing. I like those dual halos. Don't know what kind I want though.

[BassDrop]

Get sonars or depos. Sonar if you want a halo. Dual halos and anzos are really poor quality.

Alright, thanks man I'll keep that in mind.

[BN]

New Sonar headlights!

[rlvers]

Great choice of headlights! You'll love them! Good start, you should start a future mods list so we can get an idea of your plan. You should also jump around the other members threads to get some ideas, there are some great rides on here.

Ps, my first car is the eclipse too like above haha

[Menace]

When you install them make sure you aim them correctly so as to not blind oncoming traffic

[KidKobe210]

Nice pickup

[3GS559]

Nice, its a awesome first car. In curious, does anyone else have a battery tie down, or do u guys have the ones that go on the bottom of the battery? Cuz mine are bulky n tub against the sri.

[BN]

Thanks guys! Yeah I got more coming too. I think the next thing should be tail lights and the led 3rd?

I think you should get black housing turning signals then some black TYC tails. The TYC's tend to be a little more spends though.

Used, of if you're lucky (and willing to pay) a set might pop up that is brand new. They're discontinued.

I'll keep a lookout for some then

[BN]

Got water in the driver side floorboard. It's either the heater core or AC drain? Just vacuumed the floor out and bypassed the hoses going into it

[BN]

Finally cleaned this out!



And found some stuff under the console!

The ash(change) tray was under there!:



The hole cover thing was pushed through by previous owner -_-

[lyonstl]

Maybe thats where my ashtray is.... lol. And if you go through members rides threads, many of the black housed tail lights you see are the TYC's being talked about. If you have yet to see them, go to my members ride thread to see how they look on silver. I paid 165 for mine not too long back.

I didn't even think the rs came with one? Lol.
And I've never seen them on silver but they look really good! Going to invest in some where should I look to buy them..?

[lyonstl]

2 places on this site: 1) the for sale section on peoples for sale threads, 2) there is a thread titled 'find something on craigslist, ebay' where members occasionally do find some. You could also search craigslist and ebay yourself if you wish. IF a site tells you they have some in stock when you search on google, they DO NOT have them in stock, these lights are discontinued and extremely sought after, so people are going to be sold out lol.

Hey everyone,

What the fuck is this? Neither my 01 GT or my 05 GTS had this.

[ngtungle]

Where did you got the Sonars, bro? How much?

It's where the console WOULD go in on the rs -_- but it's too cheap

[lyonstl]

Oh the RS has no center console? o.o

[stylez]

Oh, you mean the "locking" pin on the arm rest. I had to go look at my car to see what I had in that place.

Go get an arm rest from a yard dude.

Nope -_- or a trunk light either apparently?

Wouldn't it be leather (or pleather :P) though? It wouldn't match. But I want one though, would I be better off getting it from a yard or on eBay or something?

[stylez]

They all are, regardless of whether you have black or tan, leather or cloth. It's still infinitely better than having a gaping storage box wide open under your elbow.

Foreal! But, does it like screw onto the back or whaaat?

Give the cargo spot a good tug from the middle straight up, it will come out. There should be a place to screw the arm rest's bracket into.

eBay for $90!! They're originally from Spyder Auto. Brand new in the box

[BN]

Oh and I forgot to say I got rear ended the other day.





I was completely stopped in traffic and the guy hit me going about 30ish. (Thankfully i wasn't too close to the car in front hah) It sounded and felt like my whole car got smashed in but only did this first accident too hahaha... The guy kept driving like nothing happened (I was on the side of the road) but then parked at some store and went on with what he was doing! The cop came, gave him two citations (reckless driving and leaving the scene) and he's paying to fix the bumper

[mitsu3g01]

He hit you at 30ish and that is all that happened? damn

[BN]

Yeah that's what I said! It did push me though...
The guy told the cop he was doing around 30 when he hit me because that's the speed limit through there and he was like texting or something, haha.

Other way around, just FYI. Sonar was their brand name for years before they changed to Spyder.

Seriously. I was rear ended at, maybe 10mph, it felt and sounded like my whole rear end was crushed.

[stylez]

Also, I feel it's unfair that this thread is rated a 1 star. You're cleaning the car up and restoring broken/missing parts. When all is done, you'll have a clean base to start from. Kudos.

Just dropped my car off at the shop.

[stylez]

Here's an armrest for sale in perfect condition

I'm talking to Toqir about one for about 15ish, and a trunk light. Lol. And I just ordered a leather shift knob from eBay for 20.

[BN]

Got the car back! The guy that painted it did a really good job. Now I want the whole car done

[Menace]

Looks good he did a nice job

[logomano]

how much u paid to repaint and was it touchup or whole bumper

[BN]

I'm not sure, the guy who hit me paid for it. Ill ask him tomorrow. And yeah it was the whole bumper!

[BN]

Might be getting these:

They're Sport Edition Tekno, with Bridgestone blizzak 205-55-16
They'll fit right?

[grfft3r]

They will unless the bolt pattern isnt 5 x 114.3 and hub bore isn't 67.1mm

[BassDrop]

Need the bolt pattern to know if they'll fit. IMO they're pretty hideous and a cheap Pep Boys brand. Save your money over the winter and get some nice ones come spring.
