Noted. Not everyone has been exactly charming in this thread. But i think i have the info i need. :)

Touche. Agreed

Im really surprised no on has said anything about the post above me

Sorry guys. Things have been a bit hectic. Im going to go to the Akron autocross track in the spring time and give it a go. All advise has been taking to a thought. And we'll see what happens from there. Fair enough?

Thanks everyone. I would like to end the discussion now.

I am 21, driving for bout 6 years. In not saying in the best driver, not even close. If you read my first post i said i know video games and real world do not coincide.Id love to be able to get an instructors help. One day i will. Hopefully. can this thread now get back on track to helpful info...

so, you're telling me i do not know how to drive,when you don't know me at all? That's great. I understand i don't know about track racing and whatever. I know expert drivers still take lessons, there's always room for improvement. And you're going to say a nascar track is as aggressive as a...

All do respect arrowhead, i am right here on here. I didn't mean me driving aggressively on the track, i mean having an aggressive track. Not a track that's all straight and long obtuse turns. I like windy survey turns like country roads. But i do appreciate the concern, honestly. Not to be...

Lol if i may, why did u do? Too fast?

Hey thanks guys for all the info and help. Looks like ill just use open track time. Lol. Sounds easier and more fun. So far I've found two tracks in Ohio. Ones in Cleveland, the other is mid Ohio. Both have good points and bad points. Like the one in Cleveland allows passenger with...

Ok, so i have been playing forza and similar video games for quite a while now. I know video games and real world do not coincide. But none the less its very inspiring for me to give it a wack. My questions are: what are the prizes for events? How hard is it to get sponsored? What do sponsors...

Ya! Got my bumper cover. And its brand new. The guy that had it bought it for his eclipse but the under carriage roughted before he could use it. Im glad i looked through apperance mods and made sure it was for a 2gb. Which i didnt know there was a difference in the same body style lol. Now when...

One thing crossed off the list. Trading a pistol of mine for an used brand new bumper cover. Probably will be putting it on when spring rolls around. Now if i could just find an armrest.. lol

Yes guys. I understand that this isnt a race car, and i also understand u guys are just trying to help. I understand the trade offs vs. Money spent. I really like this forum and hope to learn alot. I love my eclipse. Its a blast to drive. Handles better then i could ask for. I also know that i...

Sorry guys.. if i didnt have a budget id have a turbo something..

I read the post about the 4hp. Gives me hope actually. 1200 just in i,e,h is ubsurd. That in reality could be had for 400 if i shop around. Something like that would eventually pay for itself in mpg increase. Theroetically anyways...

Ok, what will an.underdrive pulley add for me? Also,what are the free mods, what does that mean?

Id just be happt for 160 hp lol. Supposibly, my car has stage two crower. Yet to be determined. I need to get the car moving first which will be fixed the 20th. Then do then do the routine mantenance. That will let me know whether or not the idle is sorta lopey from the cams or not, right? I...

Ok, after searching threw bolt on mods, i see my eclipse has absolutly no hope of getting to where my stock z26 is. That headers, cai, and what not does nothing to help car. Well, not without a turbo anyway. I find this very hard to believe, but none the less, you guys know whats what with these...

Shift linkage broke. Needed new tranny anyway. 1200 will be fixed the 2th and back on the road. Sp00linbyu, is your gsx on the road? I dont think ive ever seen it
