Street Build Project 9s: Street Driven 98 Eclipse Auto

The popping you hear at the end is because my muffler left the chat

, so you can just hear the loud ass pops and bangs during decel. The video doesn't do it justice man, it literally sounded like gunshots and me doing this in the very wee hours of the morning might have elicited a 5-0 response

. Gonna lay low for awhile. I am slowly gonna crank her up though as I need the car to be ready for the 1 and only track visit I will make with it this year. So, not a lot of street runs till I get the muffler on there. It's way too loud right now to drive on the street. I did swap in brand new plugs. The car is still puking oil from the catchcan, maybe about a cup full after every run like this but I will just manage it until I decide what to do with the bottom end this off season if I don't send it to heaven first.

I am still very undecided what I will do but that is one of the options.

Yeah...still on the fence on what I am going to do. 2.0L is the quickest ticket but then I have to add a bottle to it.

Broke some shit over the weekend.
I guess it's not supposed to look like this?

Radiator took couple bullet hits too and was destroyed. Need a new one.

Repositioned my charge pipe properly at a better angle so it does not do this. I think I will get it beaded for a better seal for that 40psi+.

With that been said, the car ran a best in the 1/8th with the car not even being on power the full 1/8th because of the coupler popping off. :hellyeah:

I am going to change the tune a little on spool up so it can stop pushing through the brakes. This is the reason the start of the run is so bad. It just pushed through the brakes. :coy:

A couple photos from this past weekend before I took the boys to get some Burger King! :hellyeah:

Chilling with big bro who is about to go to to the track very soon! I can't believe it's been almost a year since I took that other car to the track.
