Yeah I have a Mitsubishi Eclipse and I just got a AEm V2 Intake on it. I had it professionaly installed and I double checked that everything was fine. Yesterday however I saw a drop of motor oil coming down the intake pipe ??? This is kinda unusual ... any1 know anything about this ?
intake works perfectly though :)

thats normal. its from the pcv hose. if you want to get rid of it either put a fuel filter inline in the pcv hose or get a catch can

Thanks man, that oil scared the Sh*t out of me. I though my engine was gonna die soon. I had a friend when his engine started leeking even after he gave it to a service it still died and he threw the car. I just bought the car so it would suck if my engine died. I got a quik question though. I have some Tenzo Springs and I wanna lower my car. I see people cut their original spring to lower their rides. Other buy new shocks and coild. There are a couple of ways to lower car. I wanna use stock shocks but new springs to lower mine. Is that possible ??? Oh yeah who does installations on that kind of stuff ? And where can I get my undercar neon installed ?

If you get lowering springs, which suck.. your shocks will not last long. Import shops can do it all for you.

If you have stock stuts and lowering springs your struts will be destroyed very quickly. The more important issue when lowering is the struts. I put some lowering springs on my car and left the stock struts on and the ride is horrible. I did this, more for an experience because I am buying some Koni Sports struts rather soon.

A spring can be the best spring out there, but if not used with good struts it will suck.

Soooo...Just do it right if you don't want to wreck stuff, basically.
