Danger to Manifold

[imagine.]

Well my end goal was to look something similar to this photo shopped picture I saw a long time ago. It's always stuck to me.




I keep ripping off these damn lips. This is the last photo I have with it alive.




I swear I must have gone through about 4 in two weeks or so.

I ordered a replica lip though. Dyesuperman spoke highly about it so I figured I'd grab that instead of the carbon fiber one to see how long it survives.

A different set of wheels is coming, but I don't know if it'll be anytime soon.

Next couple of things I'm going to do to it are still mechanical. Swap out my cas and cps sensors, as well as trying to get a galant 85 amp alternator I got for cheap to work.

Then we'll see what else I can change up. I'll probably start working on my stock af interior.

Maybe plasti dip the car white for the lolz.

Looking good, makes me miss my 2g awd tsi. Also is steer clear of carbon fiber on these, I almost went that route but we have a local body guy who knows his stuff and he said most don't fit right even after a lot if adjustments, plus that money could go for a different big purchase like wheels or something. Looks very clean so far

Car is coming along well, I think a different set of wheels would really set your car off.

Funny you mention it, STM is a local shop close to me. They're always out running around here.

oddly enough i like it. did you over night parts from japan?

Lol, this car was never sold or made in japan. But Im sure you allready knew that, thats what I like about you. Your attention to detail.

All funnies aside, the car looks great. Im glad more DSM's are getting into this side of the car scene, the 2G curves are perfect for a wide low stance.

Nope, nothing from Japan. Everything was ordered from STM, Extremepsi, the forums, or got from pick n pull. Lol.

For those wondering how I did the Mr2 p/s, here's the thread I used. Click --> Mr2 hydro ps install.

Here is how I had it mounted, took some pictures for people asking about it but realized you couldn't even see how it was mounted due to ugly wiring.


Cleaned it up a little.


I keep ripping off my HD lips.





Shitty upskirt shot.

Love the car man, weird I am just now seeing it haha. I am going to message you on facebook about that mr2 pump, been considering it forever now

Of course! Everyone seems to be asking about that. I'll post pictures and try finding the write-ups I used to do it tomorrow after work. I'll probably put it on here so I can just link them to this instead of making more clutter on Facebook.

Wow. I would never have guess a flat black bay could look so good, but that looks stunning.

It's rust-oleum!
ballin on a budget

That's awesome man, haven't seen a well built eclipse in a while looks really good.

I haven't gone to the track yet on this build. I need to go get it tuned after I swap somethings this weekend. (I'm looking at you, autozone alternator) I'm hoping for mid 11's though

You could push this across the finish line, or tow it.

nice build, one of the very few nice eclipses ive seen!

Beautiful. Simply beautiful

Thank you

I had a 96 TSi AWD drive that was in this color. I swapped out the front and rear for the 97+ eclipse but never got around to the side skirts or spoilers before mothballing it after my harmonic balancer separated. high maintenance cars but man are they fun. I went through many a clutch, launched like it was being sent off of an aircraft carrier. Miss it to this day.

I love when people make horsepower and look good doing it. Well done! Any track times yet? Plans to go AWD?

That was the goal from the start! Well. Midway start engine took a shit part 2 saved up for my race buckets went down the drain start a couple of years ago.

I'm not particularly looking to go AWD any time soon. My eldest brother and I are about to start building a 1g GSX. If I find any really REALLY good deals on parts for the swap, than maybe. If not, I have no interest and actually enjoy my torque steer.
