Backed my eclipse out of the garage today randomly and thought it looked pretty sweet sitting there, so I snapped a picture of it:



Still looks good at 14 if you ask me.

EDIT: Had to fix the picture link, it was broken

Damn nice car. What's the specs on it?

It does look good!

Very nice...reminds me of my 2G GSX.  Man I had fun in that car.  Swapped to a 6bolt 1G.  When it was all said and done I was pushing 386 at the wheel.  Man I had fun in that car.  Best 1/4 mile: 11.85 @ 121mph.  Did I mention I had fun in that car?

I have a bare 1G 6-bolt sitting in my garage on a stand that I bought about 7 years ago with plans to build and do a swap, just haven't got around to it since I got into Starquests.  The head is built, but I'm running the stock 7-bolt bottom end.  Had it tuned and dyno'd at R/T Tuning in Lansdale PA last summer.  I'm putting down just north of 300 and running mid to low 13's at the track.  Fasted mph was just this past spring at 108 I think (gotta check my slips).   I run Dunlop Z1-Star Specs on stock rims at the track.  I'm running a hybrid Hahn Racecraft Turbo w/ a 16G cold side and 20G hot side.  I think with a bigger turbo I could easily put down more power and get into the 12's, but, again, all my money is in Quest's right now ....  My favorite part about the car: Owned it since July 2000 and have 56K on the odometer.  It always gets a lot of attention at shows as I've tried to modified "tastefully" over the years.

You're getting me all 4G63 happy again

So, I've been a little bit more quiet on this board as of late, but that's b/c since I have the Starion at a decent point I've turned my attention back to my Eclipse.  Some of you that know me, know this already, but I have been dying for about 8 years of so now to attempt swapping my GST to an awd GSX.  In early 2017 I bought the donor car below I got lucky and found on CL and I've been slowly chipping away at it ever since.  You guys might even remember this car b/c I think I posted up about it when I got it:

Anyway, for those of you that might be interested, I've been working on a swap thread over on DSMtuners.  Here's the link for your viewing pleasure. http://www.dsmtuners...#post-153705392

Thanks Import!  I cannot wait to finish up the GSX swap.  It's going to be such a beast when it's done.  I hoping to get the gas tank rewired and installed over Thanksgiving.

Cool  car for sure! I got a ticket in one and wasn't even driving it lol. My idiot buddy thought he would light it up right across from police station. Guess what?we got pulled over and l didn't have my seat belt on 2nd offence in 6 months lol $265 was alot of money for a kid like me working part time deburing parts at local machine shop at the time. All to impress some ladies that where walking down the street and show off the eclipse. Good times.
