I've changed my door handles so often I don't even car anymore. Not hard at all after the third or fourth time. And I just keep using $10 handles from e-bay.

ive seafoamed my 420 numerous times good to do even if your doing it just do it but be sure to do it from the hose that connects to the intake manifold on top my suggestion unplug the pcv hose and just get a longer spare fuel hose so it can suck up the seafoam does good just have fun with all that smoke coming out and make sure to be ready to to pull on the throttle so your car doesnt die out

Don't let it suck too much or you'll be kissing your block goodbye.

+1 on what christ said.... i think half a cup if i recall was good enough. once you disconnect the hose on top of the intake manifold your car will rev high, then once you start letting it suck in the seafoam it may or may not die out but just a heads up.... once thats in there take it for a ride and hope you dont get spotted by a cop :wink:


but in reguards to your intake question.... my input has always been a pipe is a pipe,try not to go with a name brand on this, just get a cheap ebay pipe and replace the filter with a k and n or an aem one and your set to go.... i went with a cold air intake set up but a 2 piece one so if you dont mind removing the lower half to avoid the rain then id say go for it but other then that i really didnt notice any significant gains just a nice wanna be turbo spool air sucking sound from being directly exposed to air :D

any questions feel free to ask me and ill help you to the best that i can with any questions you may have about your little 420a

Look around on google for eclipse door handle replacements as a search. I actually ran across on the first page 2 weeks back a guy who sells metal inserts for the plastic door handles. Basically all you do to install the kit was saw down the center of plastic bends that connect the door handle to the mechanism and drop on a metal insert. Run a metal dowel through the insert and ("quoted from emril") BAM!!! I still is plastic but no more broken handles YAY!!!!
