what do you think?

[born2tune]

alright ive done alot of small things to the car but this is the most noticeable and ive been breaking necks everytime i take it out for a spin, i can fit the 99 eclipse bumper yet because it needs alot of trimming, ive almost there with it but it has taken me alot of time, just want some opinions on my FMIC and general appreance,

my future mods include: paint red, strip the cars interior for drag and roll cage (mainly for looks) i had to wait about 2 weeks to get everything from FMIC, bracket, hoses, pipes and clamps, all these were from different sellers!

o and of course a talon to eclipse conversion that is in process.

Nice looking FMIC. Where did you get it and how much.

 

[Lavery]

Lookin good man. What are the measurements?

32x12x3 it also feels better than my old fmic. feels more responsive i dont know why tho .

 

[pj91gsx]

very clean look. i want a pic with the bumper on .

 

[my4ATEurV8]

looks like the punishment budget core

 

[JonathanNL]

I love that intercooler bracket! The intercooler itself looks nice too though..

 

[DSMDriver69]

looks good man. Is it just me or does anyone else think front mounts look BA without the bumper on?

Just saw the thread, I can't believe you are getting rid of the 2Gb Talon body. It's a factory body kit and
there are less of them out there than Eclipses. The only thing that the 2Gb front bumper of the Eclipse has is the wide mouth. Other than that, I think the Talon body=Sex!

Looks nice, but you got to get a bumper on it. I was wondering, what did you remove from the front-right side(looking at the front)? When I put my intercooler in there was a black box-like thing there and is almost in the way of my pipes.

 

[born2tune]

can you sho me a picture of what part exactly you are talking about so i can help you out.

 

[streetdsmpwr]

Here's a link to a picture my friend took while I was installing it. I circled the part. I see you don't have it on your car now.

you probably had a bunch of small boost leaks in the old one, plus this one is clean

Its an oil cooler I believe, (or tranny cooler, I get them confused). Only automatic cars have it there (for future reference say drivers side front instead of right front). People have to either mod it or move it. A popular place in behind the fmic...

looks good.

please do not strip your car, and put a cage in it for the "drag look"

It's your vapor canister. If you remove it you'll have an EVAP fault, and your car won't pass emmissions in most states.

[born2tune]

i just removed it completley but also other options been posted by other members so i hope that helps

 

[907gs-t]

That looks mean imo.

 

[born2tune]

[4g63turbo84]

i like the intercooler but i love that hood!!!!!

 

[907gs-t]

That Is also one Sweet hood no doubt imo.

 

[Jed_Atreides]

Looks like the Vader hood from VIS or Seibon. The gauges, hood and the FMIC makes the car look like it's a 400HP car... .

 

[2point3Tsi]

poor Talon being "converted"... to each their own I guess, at least it fills the bumper nicely and the hood isn't bad either

 

[NeMiZiS]

It looks great, but why does every one put an Eclipse bumper on a Talon?
Is it easier to trim down the Eclipse bumper for the inter cooler?
