Build Type

Background: So I always got some likes for this Coupe on my town which is a very rare find on my place, since 2019 this car was going around town and I knew this car was going to be a blast (and indeed it is), plus it´s a unicorn car with 95k miles stock for the most, I got a deal for it and now in 2022 I got my hands on it.

Nowadays I´m on the maintenance searching for parts to put it up to date, small upgrades, and saving for good upgrades and a new paintjob to make it as brand new as possible for my pleasure.

My goal is to reach between 300 hp / 400 hp mark to keep it fun, practical, and reliable for the most since I daily drive it. On the week I drive it like a grandma... unless I get the need for speed on a certain moment, but for the most I like to take care for my vehicles and don´t push it if necessary, I´m annoyingly strict as possible with the care (I believe my mechanic must hate me for it :P )so I let it get warm a bit, idle it when leaving, and more if I hoon it on some weekends. While also keep on with the maintenance schedules and stuff to keep in mind to ensure it´s reliability and care. And respect to sporty usage it´s a pretty strong car, a tough opponent for most on the streets even on it´s current state, so I´m very happy with the things the Eclipse can achieve.

So here starts my journey to enjoy driving a sports car as I always wanted as a kid, and learning stuff in the process.
