Whats up guys!

The Eclipse was a car I knew I had to have from the beginning, and I probably wont be original when saying it started after watching Fast and Furious. So before I could drive, I forced my Dad into buying a 1998 Eagle Talon ESi. Then, I spent all of 2008 and 2009 searching all over the world for a clean, stock model with a nice color, and after a year of searching, I found it. I bought the car around 2 years ago as totally stock, shipped it from California to the East Coast, and later to Europe, with its final destination in Poland. After a year, a lot in it changed... Unfortunately I've had to pass up eating and everything else to make this happen, but it was worth it.

I decided to put my presentation on here to share with the people that have the greatest knowledge about this car, and for that same reason I look forward to any and all suggestions regarding the car - because I personally believe it should be running faster on this setup.

Damn, that was one pristine GSX right there. Good job with the build, thank you for not cutting corners!
 
Truly one of the cleanest 2G i seen in a long time, the hard works show :rocks:
 
That was an extremely clean car when you started with it. Then with the added parts list added to that equals a win in my book.

I enjoyed the vids as well. Nice job on both the car build and the vids.
 
Season 2014 is nearing, and we have some changes to the project on the way... Hopefully we can get it running well, as soon as possible.
