#35231, "Bad Luck Eclipse"


          

my car has been hit twice in the last month, neither time have i been in it, people just love backing into it. so im looking for a body kit. ive been looking at the Rdora because its different and ive never seen anyone have it.but im open for ideas, so input would be greatly appreciated. also, im having a bad oil leak problem and i cant find it. are there any "problem areas" that i should check first? thanks
Brandon

for leaks you need to check the head below the valve cover. Usually its the back driver side corner bolt. (They made it too long at the factory and if you just grind it off some you can tighten that back bolt down all the way. Then get a valve cover gasket set at the dealership ($40) with spark plug grommets (lil round gaskets that go around your plugs inside the valve cover). After replaceing those gaskets go down below and check your oil pan, you could have leaks from the plug or around the many many bolts around the pan.

Body kits? Stick with urethane up front. You'll thank me later. People have more problems getting them painted, but once its on and painted, it wont chip, crack or tear during minor scrapes and bumps and dips in the road. Or minor 35mph crashes either. Most come with a lifetime warranty too, so it's kinda like you get what you paid for.

I recommend shogun sideskirts (ebruni) and I have yet to find a rear bumper that looks good on the eclipse.

Damn leaky... sounds like what you really need is a bodykit from these guys:

And yeah, what myke said... if you got oil leaking onto the ground look behind the block. Best way to look is jack it up and roll under there.
