Fellahs,

I am in the process (at least thinking about it) of a small business venture. I thought I would post up a few samples to see what your initial thoughts were (are). The dimensions can be in any size (and color) and I am thinking about a price of somewhere between $5-7 shipped.

To all of my fellow gear heads, my brother-in-law bought a 1997 Eclipse GS (against my recommendations) that has all sorts of issues. The car is located in College Station. I told him that I would ask around to see who would be willing to perform the following for him.

1. both inner tie rods
2. both CV axles
3. both lower ball joints
4. both control arms

I told him that I would purchase only Mitsubishi OEM parts. If one of you fellahs want to make some extra $$$, I will drive you down there to perform the work. My brother is in some very bad shape. Turbos are my specialty, not the drivetrain!

Hey man, give him a 10lb sledge for a present because that's what he'll need to separate the lower ball joints from the steering knuckles and tie-rod ends . Good luck man/I'm sure there's a good shop or someone that can help around there. You guys are welcome to call if you do it yourselves for pointers but the main one is listed above.

Oh no! I am not doing the work at all. I told him that I would ask around. I told him from the very beginning that I would not waste money on even buying the car, but he did not listen to my advice. I specifically told him the models he needed to look for was the GSX and the TSi. He came up one letter short with the GS.

There is two in temple on Thursday. One is a little more of a mix but pretty small and I don't really go to there's. The one I usually go to is mostly mustangs but non of the guys there are like most of the typical mustang owners. They are trying to get a verifying of cars and they all like imports. I usually go to there Monday mustangs meets. Add ctx tuners on Facebook there all on there. Also there is a ctx awd monsters group on facebook that I'm on.
