Talking New to Mitsu as well

I am a newbie as well, and I was just given a 2001 Mitsu Eclipse. I am looking to replace parts, (already have replaced speakers and installed sirius) such as, the bumper. I am new to modifying vehicles, and any small step for most people, is a major step for me. I read and study before I do anything because I simply don't knowhow to repair, but this is all worth it to own a Mitsu.

I will post pics later after I get the car washed. The snow storm, and road salt, did a number on the exterior.

Doesnt look bad for $800, its got the good old 4g37 engine so it should last you a while.

helll yea they are! my uncle had one and im pretty sure my mom had a talon back when i was younger. iv always liked them.

also i took my car up to my friends up at AWD tuning in flowermound so they could check it out and give me a price on the clutch. Kyle drove it around and has suggested that its not that the clutch is going out. its just a simple lack of power that is making me feel like the clutch is slipping. so i will just have to fix that now ;-P anyone have a thoughts on some not to extream power adders?

Power adder for a 1.8 is to swap it out for a turbo 4g63 lol.
