I am extremely excited to see the wide body setup!

Im selling my spyder if you are interested in an awd spyder

this car is beautiful! I love the attention to detail! Great job with the paint man!

I second a leak down test. I sure hope its simply valves and not rings it would be an quicker and easier fix for you.

I would say go after market exhaust as for the turbo that would be your own decision you have find some good evo 16g turbos around here that make the car a lot quicker but it would need supporting mods such as bigger injectors, fuel pump, recommend FMIC. As for the exhaust I have Thermal R & D...

Well I have DSM Link V3 so no I have no check engine lights and if i do I can turn them off but as for using a normal scanner it doesn't seem to work at least not the one from advance auto where I work. Maybe a more professional one would work it just refuses to connect to my car at work so i...

I plan on moving with my friend to Houston, Texas this year from Fort Wayne, Indiana. Reading this scares me about the move now because my 99 spyder is incredibly far past stock and have no idea how to make it pass any emissions test...

glad to see a spyder build take on a cage! I have wanted one but it is a tight fit overall

Dude chill this build is about using a FP Black to set his car into 10s he already had low 11s on the 16g. If you are curious about how Tyler Hassing and many others have hit 10s then search for them its not like this website isnt the biggest search for DSMs or anything.

I was just thinking of starting a build thread myself.

same here I would love to buy the tubular subframe and LCAs let me know if you do a group buy or if they are ever sold!

of course you should keep updating!!!

your right that is simply a bandaid and I'm running 10-30w so i bet that will make a big difference.

STM makes a dipstick and tube with a spring to keep that from happening also I'm curious as to what you believe is proper oil pressure because I'm seeing 15-18 at idle, 50-60 at cruising and 80-90ish at WOT so I'm just curious if you know proper oil pressure because i want to know if mine is...

hey congrats on getting her running! and thanks for the help with mine! i have been enjoying it for the past 2 months i hope when you take her for a drive you don't have that many issues to work out!

nickfromfortfun submitted a new Showcase Item:99 Eclipse Spyder AWDRead more about this showcase item here...

okay so i just performed an awd swap on my 99 eclipse spyder and i was ready to crank the engine over and set fuel pressure but the fuel pump is not getting power. i can turn it on with link but all i hear is the relay clicking the pump itself isn't turning on i want to check the wiring again...

glad things are coming along on the car! thanks to you my car is slowly coming back together! thanks for the great photos

when my 7 bolt took a crap in my spyder i went crazy and built my dream engine, 6 bolt with forged internals kingly girdle sooooo i recommend building your dream motor but thats just me lol

yay an update!!! i love this build! i finally got all of my parts for my awd swap on my spyder but sadly only have sundays off to work on it so my swap will take a lot longer than yours but you keep me motivated!!!!

yay an update! great job on that rear subframe it looks awesome! i just got an awd talon donor car for my spyder and just dropped the rear end out of it tonight i hope i can make it as nice as yours!!!!

Great idea on the poly kit I'm buying a rear end where the owner did that a couple months ago.

thanks for the info for the bolts!!! I plan on doing an add swap on my spyder soon and i didnt know how i was going to go about that but you saved the day thanks!!!!!! cant wait to see you do the rest awesome build man!!!!!!

finally a new spyder build to follow and get ideas off of!!! love the grey man!

okay so im not new new i have been on here forever but im ready to get of this probationary thing so help me out guys shoot the shit i just need to hit the post limit. I guess i will talk about my car in the mean time.okay im from fort wayne indiana and i have a 99 eclipse spyder stock...

its one of those things where you just tear into it and learn as you go

i got rid of mine in my spyder because its a convertible and its not my daily but thats my opinion.

thank you, thank you, thank you, for bringing that awesome gsx back from the ricer grave it looks great in that red without that ugly body kit!!!

I love re reading throught this build thread every time I click on it. This is how every dsm should be taken care of!!!!

awesome to see another spyder on the board! I'm after the same goals! a cool cruising spyder that spanks most of the airheads on the road. a 16g is very effective after a tune i had 293 hp and 313 torque so i think you will be pleased when you are done

hey mine is fwd so dont feel bad! its a stage 2 sheptrans with an lsd diff but still fwd!

I live in fort wayne indiana but i dont know how much help i would be, i have never built my car for that hight of hp but im willing to try to answer any of your questions! good lick with the build man!!!

update this thing!!!

love the car man!!! its cars like this that make me wish i had a hard top!!!

Absolutely love this car!!!!! I wish my spyder was as awesome as yours!!!! keep it up man!!!

That my new favorite way to describe wheel hop! Lol

Damn man wasn't that a little harsh? He was just warning you just in case.

im excited to see how that comes out! I want all of that done to my car and i would fork out that cash too if there was someone in indiana who would do that! glad you found someone!

how has no one posted on this build thread???? This thing will be a beast! as soon as its on the road...

The car sounds awesome man! I also own a spyder just finished the performance side of it and did 293hp and 313 torque to the wheels so do a Awd swap you will want it at high hp! Lol but excited to see pics and read about this!!!!

Love your car man!!!! It is incredibly beautiful!!!!!!!! I just ordered a set of hood supports like yours I'm glad to find some that don't cost 200 dollars. But two quick questions what rota rims are those? And what sort or suspension do you have going on? Like are those coilovers or just...

Hey those cipher seats you put in are those supportive or comfy? I was looking into those and i just wanted to know if you like them? also love the car!

love the wood floor trunk idea! I have been trying to think of something to do for my spyder and I never would have thought of that! :thumb:

I love your build man! It has been inspirational for my spyder build! but did i read that right that you are getting rid of those beautiful side skirts that you have on the car? if so dibs! lol but really I have enjoyed your build so much!

when was the last time you replaced the thermostat? or the blower motor resistor?

have you removed the EGR valve, or adjusted the bliss screw? that can make that happen, or if you have a bad idle control valve.

why would anyone think it was a good idea to trash peoples cars like that?
