I daily this car during the summer and it was raining for straight days , driving through puddles I guess made the muffler look messed up but it is preety much brand new! And thanks!

 

[racker]

beutiful dsm!!

 

[CountryDSM]

Saw you at ICC! Did you head down to MAM? There was only one DSM including me but we held our own.

Amazing build man, well done! I hate having limited time to work on the car while attending school. Especially when you have parts waiting to be installed sitting in your garage . Have anymore plans for her? Also, what are you studying at Iowa State? I have some friends that go to school down there and have gone to visit/party down there a few times. Awesome school, and also very fun

My only plans are evo seats really, and just fixing dents/ little things that piss me off. I'm a junior in mechanical engineering here, and yes it is very fun

Haven't been on the forums much lately, drove about 5k miles this summer in the Eclipse and did minor cosmetic/ mechanical things but nothing big.

It is put away in storage already now that I'm back at school. But I will be back mid September to take the car to MOD in Normal, IL.

I have some pictures I haven't put up yet that I guess I can put up haha.

I don't think so I passed your car a couple times before it hit me and then i took a closer look but I missed out on meeting the owner haha! Yeah me and a 1g raced till about 2am. I think I was in the same row as you I was the only Barcelona red there .

Awesome build man, keep up the good work
What front lip are you running? let me know thanks

 

[boost97gst]

Damn, i am impressed bro. Im jealous, but more so happy for you. You didnt spend a fortune and your car is better looking than people that spend twice as much(point finger at myself hehe). You just put in a tremendous amount of elbow grease. Great work, beautiful 2g. Nuff said

 

[BossGreen]

First off I have to say that your car is so sexy and done perfectly. I have very similar goals except my car's red. I was just wondering how much paint you used to do the engine bay? Was it gun or spray can? And finally if you ordered it online could you point me towards their website. Thanks in advance. Again, great build!!

 

[coupe_nasty]

This car is super clean! Great job on everything you've done so far! The only thing id change would be removing the rear wiper, antenna, and mud flaps. But im just overly picky . You have a beautiful dsm. Keep up the great work!

 

[gsxbro13]

Ive been searching for a good street build like this and your car is just amazing! all the time and dedication you put into your car is just awesome. By far the best white eclipse around. Looks great.

I didn't know you had a build thread on here! Glad I found it though! Keep up the good work buddy!

Haha yeah I didn't start it until I was pretty much done.

Anyway, I decided to ditch the small 16g set up and go big or go home.

New purchases for summer 2014

-Brand new Holset HX40
-BEP bolt on Mitsu housing
-Tial 38mm MVS wastegate
-Punishment racing recirculated o2 housing
-Tial 50mm bov

It is a pretty expensive set up compared to my internally gated 16g but it should be a lot of fun and really be the icing on the cake for my dsm.

Other plans for this summer are to replace my driver strut tower and have the bay professionally painted. I already have a parts car from down south that I have about 90% of the spot welds drilled out and plan on replacing it on mine this spring break.

Hopefully I will be able to add to this thread over spring break!

I know this isn't your daily, but aren't you worried about lag?

I'm really not too worried about it, cruising around during the summer doesn't really call for instant spool .

 

[smills1840]

Do you have a hp/tq goal?

 

[cait sith]

Looks good. I like this a lot. Good luck!

 

[bettfootball]

Do you have a hp/tq goal?

Not really, I do plan on running around 30 psi though.

[buhay6]

Dude that shells long gone. Bud already asked to buy it I believe. Plus shipping would be a pain you should look for an exporting/importing company in that regard.

Thank you! I agree, I'm not quite sure why Mitsubishi didn't put some quality aftermarket parts stock on these cars like they did the evo!
