Mitsubishi Repair: Parts, eclipse performance, turbo models


Question
1991 Eclipse 1.8 Non-Turbo Automatic 2WD, 109,000 miles

Tony,

Can you tell me about websites and/or specialty shops where I can find various Eclipse performance parts and accessories at good prices?

Thanks,

Andy  

Answer
Andy,
The 1.8L Eclipse does not have too many performance items available.  Most are reserved for 2.0L non-turbo, and especially the turbo models.  But there are a number sites you can check out:

http://www.machv.com

The best performance mods you can do to your car would basically be to open up the intake and open up the exhaust.  More air flow means more power.  Beyond that, you would want to start considering swapping your 1.8L engine for a 2.0L turbo engine.  Or better yet, buy an old, cheap, broken turbo Eclipse and fix it up.
Good luck!
