OK your buying a 2nd gen eclipse. Well ive have my car sence 48,000 miles now hitting 113,000 miles. 97 eclipse spyder gst. I still have the same turbo spools great and same internalls. Ive got just about every bolt on with the basic mods 3 inch downpipe, 2 1/2 cat back, boost controller etc. I run my car very hard each and every day. And only had to do my timing belts $400 and water pump $4-500. My car is in good running condition. I could only give you advise on things that I did wrong and wouldent advise anyone elce to go this route. Dont lower your car lower that 1 1/2 inches. Main reason why my water pump went and why I had to replace many axles and oil pan. All in all, most my work was performance, body related, not problem related.
