There was a little talk recently on a Facebook group I'm on about the Eclipse, and I've never really paid much attention to them. But now I am suddenly disappointed they're not in Australia, haha.
So much awesome work done here. Love the stance and I think the XXR's suit the style well. Could never run that low with my FTO, I would cry every time I lost more fibreglass off the front bar lol.

Hey thanks man. Well since you bumped I might as well update a bit.Originally posted by OOMPH! View Post
So on the way to CMI I noticed my 5th would sometimes pop out of gear, and on the following days my reverse wouldn't go in.
Turns out this little fucker was loose on the AWD tranny I had swapped in. This little nut keeps all of the gears held together and was hand tight
With that being found, I also decided to do regular maintenance on the car; new oem oil pump, new hydraulic timing tensioner, new timing belt, etc.
Oh and the Wally 450 came in too.
So since my car was going down, I decided to take a peek on craigslist for shits n giggles, but I could have not looked at a better time. I found a pretty good deal on an Eagle Talon TSi AWD, family owned.
Picked it up the next day.
Pictured is my brother with the 88 535i lol. (Drosas)
It was sun faded for sitting so long, but everything was in working condition, all stock!
The plan was to keep it all stock, just with some aesthetics.
So we did what any reasonable person would do.
Cut the springs.
Since my car was going to be out of commission for a bit, I decided to throw on the xxr's onto the talon.
Was not a fan of the 2ga bumper though so I found a 2gb bumper for it.
As per regimen, I painted it with Rust-Oleum the same day & threw it on.
Much better.
One day at work I was pretty bored, so I scrolled along the EvoM forums, low and behold I found the famous 2DR Evo selling his brembos. I've been looking for brembos for a couple of years, but finally had some money, so I immediately texted him and got em.
Ordered new lines and adapter brackets for them too.
Putting the adapter brackets was a bitch though, had to shave down the knuckles and the caliper a bit, as well as thread a hole.
I also picked up a 3G BB and MBC because I was still on the GST ones, which wouldn't flow enough fluid for the brembos.
Installed it, it cleaned up my firewall a bit.
This is how she's currently sitting, waiting for some Motul fluid to come in.
I should now mention that my brother (drosas, with the 88 535i) sold the Talon to my eldest brother, the one that helped me build my green eclipse to be able to buy this.
An e36! Some interesting ideas for it.
But that's for his thread.
Now I mention my brother. The plan was to keep the car stock, but knowing him and I... Well.
Stock.
Less stock.
And uhm...
