Sweet ride dude. When are you going to get it dyno'd??

Dale

 

Can you say SATURDAY!!!

YEEEEEHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

 

Oh Yeah! The Dyno is this Saturday. I completely forgot.

That's a nice car!

 

Thanks Joe. Testride, lunch, Thursday?

 

niiiiice. now you have a car that can really drag, and you can leave the S to what it's best at.. the track.

seriously, though.. I like the Eclipse, except the front bumper. it looks kinda girly and covers up the FMIC.. Then again, it makes the car a total sleeper..

Never underestimate the sleeper factor. You can imagine the look on a Corvette owner's face when you drop it in 2nd at 58 MPH and ROAST the tires. I've put about 300 miles on this thing and have surprised (whooped) a Cobra Mustang, C5 Vette, Firebird, and a 300Z.

The body and original paint are perfect so no touchy. Here are the planned upgrades:

> Grey leather adjustable Sparco racing seats
> New shift knob and short shifter
> Replace orange side reflectors with clear ones.
> Polish the intercooler
> Possibly remove the body parts in the front air dam to open it up.
> Re-tint the windows dark
> Powdercoat the calipers (Eventually replace w/ Brembo or something)
> New pedals
> Entirely new audio system
> White/ Indiglo Gauges ???

 

please buy new rims...


...for all your cars!

 

 

You don't like the Blitz wheels on the Eclipse?
I think they are pretty nice...
