130k miles on my 06-Update! - Club4G Forum : Mitsubishi Eclipse 4G Forums - 2006-2012 Eclipse Authority

JoeyC · November 7th, 2011, 02:39 PM

Just thought Id let you all know how our cars run with alot of miles.So my 06 gt has reached a little over 131k miles.I have kept up my maintnance as suggested.such as oil chngs. ,timing belt at 60-120k,flushes,filters,etc

Problems I have ran into:
-replaced front axle assembly at around 80k
-replaced reer bearings 2 times 1 at 50k one at 90 k-(may be my fault for -catching air while stock lol)
-replaced a tranny mount at 115k.-tranny had alot of movement bad mount!
-replaced struts at 90k -the fronts went bad so I got coilovers to replace all 4.
-8 sets of tires! -only cuz i raced alot!
-replaced rear lights at 110k-1 went bad-all the elec. around ac gauges went out and replacing rear lights fixed that.
-I noticed today I need new rotors ,they havent ever been replaced just the pads so when pads go bad this time ill replace pads and rotors! <-mod here soon.
-I think I had an exhaust leak at around 90k so i upgraded my exhaust sytem.
- battery replacement at 90k
-only major problem has been my steering pump-just recently It started making noise it had metal flake in the S.F so that means steering pump is gonna go bad soon so I flushed it out and refilled and will eventually have to repalce the pump and the hole steering rack $$$ until then just a slight noise barely noticable.

Other then that cars been good to me no ac problems nothing to major! but... here lately I have been a little scared -due to waiting for steering rac to go out and also I have a squishy noise up front-hoping its not coilovers? and also my front breaks sound broken but work fine? and now my exhaust is starting to rub and also theres vibration under the engine-my guesse is that tanabe under brace but it could be headers errrr. oh and to top it off i recently got new tires and allighment but my car bounces non stop at speeds of 15-30mph that shits annoying!!!! so lately my car goes bouncy bouncy bouncy ,squish squish(exhaust vibrate) then i floor it and it goes rattle rattle from under brace or headers? then i stop and it has broken breaks sound?crackle pop.
F*** ITS TURNING INTO A RATTLE CAN! : ( Im so frustrated at this point i think ima take her into the docter and if they cant get arid of all that shit im done modding it!

Once I hit 100k I'm parting my shit and selling... Sucks to hear man

JoeyC · November 7th, 2011, 03:46 PM

Yeah I may fix it all and just keep it for racing and going out but definately not a daily driver for much longer!

here is my new drive around car -I almost cry when i see racers fly bye me! I roll this new car at 60 bangin the 18s in the trunk sitten on 22s with limo tint! still no where near as fun as my gt!

good info man, +erep.

jostnyc · November 17th, 2011, 09:15 AM

great info! my galant is at 125k and we've had most of the same problems. just yesterday i switched out both fron wheel hubs and while doing that realized one of my axles was bad. i got all sorts of noise and rattle too but not as bad as you! so i feel lucky now. lol! i just did the timig belt at 90k so wont do it again for a while. im still thinking this engine can give me another 100k so you gave up too quick. i drive it hard and it still ticking. but its good to know my problems arent isolated. he he

well basically if you keep up on evrytime shit wears out or breaks then it will last forever! Just hella stressful-I just put in 20 hrs of body work into my ride so now i gotta keep going and fix then rattles and itl hurt me $ wise but i am going to replace the power sterring pump and the whole ateering column ehhh!

KazF · November 22nd, 2011, 01:42 PM

I'm scared now...my GS is a daily driver and I have 105k miles on it now...I really don't want shit to go sideways since nothing has happened to the car except for brake changes...

JoeyC · November 22nd, 2011, 01:50 PM

well modding your car requires a good tune up -such as suspension ,wheels ,allighnment and keeping up on general maintnance-Ive worked out most my problems !exhaust just needed a new rubber bracket,added air to tires less bounce and squicky noise is gone? I know ill be needing to replace steering column and pump not sure why but after all that and a new set of breaks Ill be back to perfection!I think my car just fucks with me when i dont keep modding it!It wants to be the best! so i cant hold it up ill keep modding till one of us die!!!
