my car and what to do next?

Do all your maintenance first before anything. Then get a boost gauge, mbc (set it at 15 max if you're still on the t25), fuel pump, some type of tuning device such as an apexi safc or dsmlink, 3" downpipe, and hard intercooler piping.
That should improve your throttle response and give you some more kick. As mentioned above by chico, if you still have the need to go even faster, start looking to upgrade your injectors and turbo.
Also i would look into getting some light 17's.
 
Honostally If I were you I would sell your current car (you seem to have tons of money spent on it) Mostly because you can maybe get a fair chunk of change out of it, and then rebuy another-better DSM (try to not get another Spyder) The Spyder is great for looks, but I think lacks in performance. I say this because having that soft top adds weight to the car with all the convertable assembly parts.


When you buy your new DSM, I'd suggest shaving weight where ever you can (rear seats and such. You might even get some money selling the extra parts) Then my second (which would start the second you buy the car) is maintanence.



I'll finish later, I have to head to class. Good Luck! :thumb:

WTF Umm, don't listen to the crap this guy is saying, here are the weights of our cars. You will see there is hardly a difference in weight for an eclipse, compared to a spyder. In fact, if you get an AWD then it will weigh more than the spyder.

Vehicle Base model/ Mid model/ Upper model (FWD)/ Upper model (AWD)
1G Talon / Eclipse 2550/ 2712/ 2791 /3108
1G Laser----------- 2530/ 2690/ 2745/ 3073
2G Talon/Eclipse - 2842 / 2906 2921 / 2998 3157 / 3234
Galant VR-4 -------3295
Eclipse Spyder --- 2888 / 2943 3053 / 3142

Keep your car, do all the things I have mentioned as well as everyone else, and read everything you can on this site including VFAQ's and tuning guides.
