"75000 miles" That's incorrect. From the Mitsubishi Service Manual for a 2003 Eclipse Spyder sporting the 6G72 V6 engine - which, by the way, is an INTERFERENCE ENGINE* - the recommended replacement FIRST interval is 60,000 miles - and again at 100,000 miles. Furthermore, it also states: *1: For California, Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine, this maintenance is recommended but not required *2: Not required if belt was previously changed *those caveats apply to *1 the 60,000-mile interval, and *2 the 100,000-mile interval. However, PLEASE keep in mind that the 6G72 engine is an interference engine, which means that proper valve train/piston head clearance is only maintained as long as the proper timing between those engine components exists. If the belt slips a tooth, or fails (due to extended operation beyond recommended service life, for example), it is more than probable that pistons will contact valves - resulting in bent valves, damaged pistons, or worse - a completely trashed engine. In my humble estimation, it's not worth the risk. Your choice, of course.
Cheers
