I just hit 60000miles and I know that the timing belt needs to be done but i am wondering what else I should have looked at and done while the car is in the shop?? going to get the tires balanced and allignment but not sure what else i should have the shop do. any suggestions would be great

 

well if they do the timing belt you should do the tensioner as well. Other than that anything else should have already been done like the normal maintenance and tune up stuff

 

agreed, just a regular tune up should do you just fine.
i was just looking at the mods that you have in ur Sig. i'm just curious if you plan on running a bigger turbo in the future. having a Greddy Big FMIC with the stock t28 is acutally hurting your car more than it's helping b/c of the pressure drop w/ such a small turbo pushing such a small amount of air.

 

RCJ a t28 is not a stock turboPay attention

 

wow, did i just say that?

 

haha, yea i figured you probably just confused it

 

well while the timing belt is off, it's not mandatory but you could just call it preventative maintenance to go ahead and change out the water pump. i think they are good for 100-120k miles but if the belt was off i'd go ahead and have it done, i think it's like another 50 bucks for a shop to do it as long as everything is off and out of the way.

 

thanks guys.. yea was looking for the things that i should do as long as the engine is already torn apart. and yes the turbo is not stock its just a little bit larger. doesnt do much help thru first and second... (thats ok cause AWD takes care of it) but 3rd thru 5th look out.... just enough mods to still pop the hood and be a sleeper.... everyone doubts it cause they look and see the 'stock' turbo untill they take a run and then they wonder how this "old" eclipse just ran them

 

Change your fluids : )

You need: Timing belt, tensioner, water pump...

Tranny, differential etc....

 

you should do your other belts to like your balance shaft belt and whatnot, if that breaks, it can tangle with your timing belt and break it. hence destroying your engine
