This is the Build Thread for 1997 Eclipse Spyder. Reply below.

my build,

few odds and ends to complete prior to tuning. then I'll get to see what my little FWD can do.

That's a long list of goodies. Hope you got some good tires

just finishing up, tuning soon

Couple additional parts hopefully it'll be more dependable & help eliminate some wheel hop.

Oops gotta get federal 595rr Pro 235x40x17 tires yet. Yeez i hope that'll complete it.

Scratched the federal tires and bought Nitto NT05 235/40/17 and got rid of the knock-off GReddy Bov and replaced it with a TiAL 50mm BOV also picked up a front and rear bushings kits. Wish I knew how big and wide this rabbit hole is before I started.

The big buying is complete. The enjoyment is about to begin.​
