The Inevitable has happened tonight...

[Zero8985]

My fucking driver side door handle broke off on me tonight... Not too happy right now. I just read about everyone elses and thanks to all the previous posts, i know what to do to install them. My only question is... When you order the door handle from the dealer, do they send you the handle pre-painted to match the color of your car? Or do you have to get it painted yourself?

im not positive about the 2g, but on my laser when i ordered one it was painted the factory color red. (note: it wont be a special color like lime green, just one of the factory ones)

I know that you could get them painted.. but I think they stoped doing that and just sell the unpainted ones now.

Just call any dealer up and ask them!

Fuck the inevitable, the unthinkable just happened this very morning. After getting off the highway, the light turns green, and i press the gas. My car jerks twice, and now it only revs, both drive and reverse. Mehopes it's only a cable, since it was shifting fine and hasn't slipped beforehand. But this is my main concern now. Thanks for the help on the handle though.

yea that sucks when that shit happens, but the dealer sells them only in black paint....you have to get them painted another color if you want

[soyee7]

yeah, and they never fit right. I had to install my own and it sucked.

[Shpyder]

actually E-Bay has stuff like that...$10 or something. see them all the time.

Weeeelllll, it's the tranny. My only option is to rebuild or replace. Hopefully it will be back out on the road soon.

If I were you, I'd junk this piece, and get a Chevy. none of this would have ever happened if you had. No door handles, and no tranny's would need replacing. I never hear of a chevy's door handle breaking off, have you? Thats right..... Take my advice. Dont waste your time with a little 1.8 liter 4 cylinder, or whatever, when you can get an awesome Impala SS stock with a massive supercharged 3.8 V6, and no goddamn eclipse will ever come close to beating it.

wow.....we have the same dumbass who's stuck on chevy's on another thread.....bashing mitsubishi's and for fucks sake....GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD, IT'S A 2.0. and i guarantee you that you could take any turbocharged eclipse and whoop the shit outa a HUGE MONSTROUS MASSIVE GIGANTIC 6 cylinder....it's only 2 more than a 4 buddy, i think it's about time for you to get off this thread and go chat with all your chevy buddies on the chevy board.

I cant help but laugh when i see all you morons stick all your money into pieces of shit, thats why I'm here. When you get a real car, a chevy, come on over to my thread, and chat about quality.

Just meet me at the track. Your impala better run mid 11s if your statement that "no eclipse will ever come close to beating it" is to hold true.

Whats your best time?

15.4 seconds? Are you kidding me? A stock AWD eclipse will run high 14s to 15 flat. We dont have to invest ANY money in the car to smoke your impala, nevermind the thousands in mods you keep mentioning. Our little 4 bangers have your V6 swingin... What a tool

[tblake]

shit, my 3.1 lumina family sadan, no performance parts in it at all, could easily run a 12 sec, 0 to 60.

[kjewer1]

I was talking about quarter mile. My zero to 60 is less than 4 seconds. I have the datalogs to prove it. On a run where my 60 foot was 1.55 seconds, it was 3.7 seconds. Your Impalla SS is over 7 seconds...

[tblake]

you know what? I'm sick of fighting, All you morons have to make you car go fast to look good, my Impala SS looks good both going fast (wasting an eclipse) and sitting still.
