That looks very nice. Those are nice wheels too.

 

[SNE2040]

yeah they are nice.... just too damn heavy! I haven't weighed em but i wouldn't be surprised if they're about 26-30 lbs EACH! I need to get some 17's with meaty tires and possibly get different springs that won't slam it so much; right now they're 225-35-19 on a 2.25 or 2.5" drop.

When you say stocker, do you mean a T-25? It's kinda hard to confuse a 16G with a T-25 you know that right?

Car looks nice and clean by the way, just not feeling those wheels.

Looks good. White is clearly the best color. Those rims look HUGE

Throw up some pictures of the seats and interior.

 

[GSX]

Minus the door stickers and that's dead sexy right there...

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

Nice car. Remove those stickers. And as someone said, it's hard to confuse a 16g and t25. Post a pic and we can distinguish it for you. Remove those stickers.

Let's see some engine bay and interior pics.

Looks good

More pic.

That is one clean eclipse! Looks real good in white.

Looks good, put some Prokits on there that thing is too low.

 

[Bud92gsx]

I have to ask...How much did you end up spending on this nice 2G???

 

[VTRICCO]

those rims with that low profile of a tire are asking for trouble in the tri-state. Get yourself some factory 17's with a 235/45 tire and keep it moving

will do eventually. right now i got other primary bills to take care of. Hopefully by the summer.

a couple of grand =] my friend was in a dire need of money (just had a baby girl)

i've been looking into factory 17's but i can't find any locally. On ebay they're too much (with tires bought separately). So i'm thinking some nice light weight 5zigen fno1r-c (16 lbs each) I'm just not sure if i need 35 or 42 offset.

 

[Q8DSM]

love the way it sits with that suspension package .. i would do 18's instead , and diffinetly remove the stickers ..


Good Catch

 

[JaxonsGSX]

Nice! The car looks great. Reminds me of when i got my car, 95 GSX automatic, 63k. I also got a great deal! Keep it clean bro!

 

[intimidator2000]

What is the brand name of those 19 inch rims.

 

[dominic rotto]

I really like the way the 19" rims look on your car, I was gonna get 19" konig hotswaps this week but wanted to get some info on how a 2g will drive with the 19" rims? I know eveyone will talk shit about 19" rims on a 2g but i'm damn sure the your car looks better with 19" rims then anyone else with 17" rims on there 2g! Are you going to sell your 19s?

honestly.... it looks nice with the wheels but the ride quality sucks! especially with the damn drop. you gotta be very careful of going over bumps and everything. you feel everything on the road and it's extremely bumpy. Another issue is the weight of the wheels; the acceleration is kinda weak and takes longer to brake. If you're looking to cruise, it's fine, but if you plan on going nuts on turns and race around, i'd suggest smaller wheels with meatier tires (my plan)

What is the brand name of those 19 inch rims.

Zenetti Five (silver, which are now discontinued and only sell the chromes)

 

[Q8DSM]

maximum you can go is 18 IMO .. maximum sweeet look with less trouble

 

[lilbro717]

nice car, agree with you need at the most 18s. also more engine bay pics

 

[BoostedinSoFla]

Did you find out what turbo you got in that thing?

 

[SNE2040]

Here are the pics; i've been busy lately.

Don't mind the crappy MBC and no intake; i was switching over from EBC to MBC for testing purposes (overboosting).

Here they are and still no idea what turbo.

looks sick man!!

 

[dsmzoom]

that is a 16g, I cant read the serial number that great so I cant tell you which. Which leads me to believe that your not overboosting, but boost creeping.

so i take it my options are a bigger WG flapper or EWG to eliminate it..... or get a catted downpipe.
