Any pics of modded Eclipses?
I just got a 2002 Eclipse yesterday (traded in my 300ZX) and I was wondering how they look when highly modded and what kind of power they can get. Unfortunatly, I had to go with the I-4 because my wallet wasn't as big as I had thought =( Anywho, any help out there?

Great car in its prime... after lots of abuse, it started to fall apart (literally) and I traded it in and got $5000 for it.

Comparison b/w a modded Eclipse and S2000...
Handling wise, nothing that I have driven, including the E46 M3, feels like the go-kart tightness of the S2000. The new M3 comes close though but not quite the same. The Eclipse was responsive but felt heavy at times, especially when pushed.
Performance wise, when that 18G turbo engages at 20 psi, its like a kick in the a$$. Kinda like VTEC.
I think that a highly modded and tuned Turbo Eclipse (like my old car in its prime) could take a stock S2000 in the quarter mile.

Nah, not misdirected, but I've seen a lot more than just S2000's here, so just seeing if anyone could hook me up with some pics. I've been looking around for pics of modded 2000+ Eclipses but to no avail, haven't even been able to find a fan site. Anyway, thanks for the pics, but if I wanted to see that generation Eclipse I coulda watched "The Fast and the Furious" again 
Also, I have tims2k (usually posts on the Ga board) looking for some Japanese import body kits/parts for me, so hopefully I can get to work soon
