hello, just posting up, new guy here from Columbus GA area, got ahold of my brother's 98 eclipse RS a few days ago, he ripped the timing belt apart about six months ago, so now after several attempts to find someone to fix it for him WITHOUT ripping him off, he decided to let me have the car for a few hundred, cause i can fix it (already got it down to the cylinder head, no problems so far), and i have been wanting to try doing an import car for a while, so i thought i would start learning about these cars...

I have a lot of experience and knowledge of domestics, own a Bullitt mustang, but these cars seem to be a lot of fun to work on and such, been having fun for four days straight elbows-deep in the engine bay!!!

hope to learn a lot and get some good ideas of how to modify and change the image of this little green RS in the upcoming months, thanks for having me here! (hope to get a few pics of the eclipse for ya soon, so i can get some input on how to alter the exterior of the vehicle!!)

You seem like a good person... Leave while you still can...

Also why are you wasting your time on an RS?

[Dendrangus98]

^^haha

messing with the RS cause i have it, i guess... nothing could compare with my "other speed addiction", but i enjoy the challenge of working on new stuff (probably should have been an auto engineer instead of a wildlife biologist...), and i plan, eventually, on selling it to raise cash for my wife's next car... so while i have it, i want it to run good, perform better than stock, and look sharp doing #1 and #2... plus better looking/running cars = $$$$

thanks for the welcome!

WELCOME TO THE SITE.....But changing and modifying a car actually depreciates its value and doesnt raise it. unless you seel it to a crazy teenager who doesn't now anything

welcome to the import scene...just not with an RS

[Dendrangus98]

b18eg6-- as far as altering, you mean more on the performance side, or more on the appearance side? i do paln to sell it sometime in the future, of course, but i was thinking someone would appreciate (read: pay more $$$) for slightly upgraded and nice, clean, slick car... any suggestions on what NOT to do? thanks in advance...

all others, thanks for the welcome, especially Cols folks (see you at britt david, right?)

stay tued, i'll get more engine stuff figured out and be back soon.
