New to the site: 98 GS-T AWD

[YupinmyGst]

Hey, I'm Ashley, might know some people on here. I'm new so I figured I'd post. I dont really like big sites, I get confused. But I've heard good things.

I have a 1998 Eclipse GS-T that I just converted to AWD (not even on the street yet, took insurrence off for winter.. my winter project got done in 2 weeks ). I'm the 2nd owner and bought it when it was all original. I'll post up some dyno sheets, pics and slips when I get home, I'm at work right now.

Mods:

6 bolt swap
BC 272/272 cams
eagle rods
clevite bearings
wiseco pistons
balance shaft removal
blah blah blah.

HX35 Turbo, love it. spools at like 3800 and feels like a jet

custom exhaust and manifold

1000cc injectors, walboro 255lph pump (thought of fuel cell during swap but ehh money.)
aeromotive fpr, ummm lines and 1g rail?

DSMLink, racing seats

AWD rear subframe, driveshaft, tcase, trans, ACT clutch, new half shafts

wow, I really can't think of what's done to it... ### I'm always thinking about what's not done to it and I want to do haha.

This season I was working on a huuugee research project for a 20 grand scholarship so I didn't have time to work on it or race much, plus I'm having a smoking problem that is for a whole 'nother threads worth or discussion..
BUT, in the 2008 season I made 464whp on the fwd drivetrain and best time was 12.9 at 127mph (i'm gonna miss that trap ) that was with race gas and street tires. I bought slicks for the 09 season and only got to run them once, in the rain, on stock wg boost. running like a 14 or something . awd should be interesting next year.

soo hello everyone!

did YOU convert it to awd or did you have someone do it for you?

 

[YupinmyGst]

both. I do as much as I can on my car by myself, but I can't lift a 500lb rear frame. sorry. It has never seen a shop once though if that's what you're talking about.

Here are pics of the NOM

Can't afford much, I'm going to school to be a doctor haha fail. It doesn't look cosmetically amazing and the fwd times suck (hence the conversion. i could spin through 4th at the track. 5th gear burnouts on the highway ) but hopefully in the end it will be fun and quick.

That's a nice GST. It's nice to see women working on cars. I know you like you car now but, you will love the AWD.

Nice job. haha. You'll LOVE awd. The handling is amazing! I am a girl as well haha. I have a 98 AWD that also has the six bolt swap in it. You can see my thread "another PA member" on here haha
