Got my calipers back, guy was a champ and did the end fittings for me as well, which is fortunate for the time frame I have left. Finish is still not perfect, paint just didn't want to cooperate. But it's miles better than how they looked before obviously! They'll be covered in brake dust and road grime soon enough anyway.

I love the yellow too. Was inspired by a black WRX STi I found on the net, which had the silver RPF1s and yellow brakes.

Two steps forward three steps back. Plus side all the Evo brake and suspension stuff is in and fits no worries. Downside is a broken non-captive nut in chassis for the front left control arm rear bracket/subframe bolt. Something's been done incorrectly in the past and now it requires some welding. Bracket was rigged up after it bent, so car is still drivable.
Meanwhile cheap other bracket for the rear sway bar drop link to rear control arm snapped as we knew it would. Just adding to the collection of clunks and rattles lol. Will get a piece of angle iron fabbed up for that. Thinking of grabbing a dirt cheap daily to use while this car is in for work given it'll be out of commission for a bit.

Originally posted by bjk View PostThe Eclipse actually started production before the FTO and finished considerably later, so the FTO didn't quite replace it (especially since it was produced solely for Japan at first). I wonder what it would have been like if they were both marketed more broadly and produced in both LHD/RHD for their respective countries...
oh wow ok news to me !!
and yea ayy i think if the FTO was brought about more in more countries and that it would have a much larger fan base and more options to make a great platform even better, and even yourself adding evo parts and that just updates the look and gives it more of a optional base for parts !!!
i think honestly you have the nicest FTO I've ever seen

You flatter me with your compliments sir. The car needs a lot of exterior work before I'd be happy with it though, just lucky that it doesn't come up in pictures lol.
The guys below (among others) are where the top shit is at.
