heres my build

































well heres the for this winter
1.remove engine and fix timing and clean it up a bit more
2.while engines out remove power steering,relocate battery,ECUand fuse box
3.shave everthing i dont need in the engine bay and clean it up sand and paint
4. make custom steering loop and breather so steering works as a manual steering rack and does not get water and dirt in there
5.once engine is reinstalled tuck wires and hope it runs again
6.some fiberglass work
7.remove airbags
8.install new steering wheel and quick release
9.relocate washer tank and coolent resvoir

well so far i got the engine hauled out the fuse box hauled out .ecu hauled out.The dash hauled out ,power steering removed and made the custom loop hose and breather, now just to find a spot to locate the fuse box around the dash and then lengthen every single wire that goes to it.then locate the ecu under the dash and lengthen every wire for that.
pictures are not in oreder this time next time they will be












marking every wire we had to cut so we would not make a mistake putting back togather








loop and breather just have the get a longer hose to go to the breather


well got a lil more done not much








well heres the progress so far, will start sanding the engine bay and welding up bolt holes and shaving everthing.

looks good man, keep up the good work.

mind you the engine bay is very dirty in them pics

well its been a while sense an update years lol i moved 3 hours away from home a few years ago and car was put on hold and in storage well 2 years later i have bought a house in my new location and car is up here with me after checking over found out the underneath is rotted out so i picked up 97 eclipse to use the body for know all im doing to the parts car is stripping it down to the bare body . once my new garage is built hopefully next summer. ill start the rebuild.

targa top

I see what you did there :7

Might want to thoroughly check those strut towers. They look like they're ready to rust through.

i figured some one would notice lol ..

the towers are mostly surface rust..

and can some one tell me is there a easyer way to navigate this site

Started working on the car again just putting it back together for the time being and striped. The parts car more

Looks good but you deffinately should drop some money into some wheels/tires and a nice drop.

What the heck are you doing making a template for the firewall though?

rims and a drop will come will be fiberglassing the fire wall to hide everthing back there

let me get this straight, you're creating a false wall to hide everything that mounts to the firewall?

yes the only thing that mounts to it that you need to get to is the mastercylinder resivoir

I will be interested to see how that comes out

Keep up the good work man.

removed heater core,ac unit, blower motor.






using a electric marine heater for defrost
well got the tranny off the engine , got the engine on the engine stand found my timing problem,will be fixing that soon ,replacing plugs wires ect. tranny ,motor mounts,brackets ,valve cover are getting sandblasted tommorro then painting pics later tonight of progress after finding some rust on the underneath of car will have to be jacked up interior gutted and do some welding then will be painting rock guarding the underneathe of it

where did you get that pully at? i want it

Looks like an AFX to me.

sandblasting went well got everthing done i wanted to do rest will be sanded by hand,tranmission cleaned up nicely just have to sand prime and paint it now..







next time i sandblast im wearing a painters suit lol

Car looks good, keep it up. But, I don't see where you actually need a front splitter, especially since it's so far off the ground.

Oh, for god's sake man lose the Euro-tails; It's just my opinion, but, they look goofy.

SO when did Full Throttle start making covers for ecu Harness plugs? Thats bitchin...lol. Whats worse is that no one else noticed it yet. Oh well, looks good so far. Keep it up.

timed the motor tonight,primed the trannystarted to sand the block for paint as well and rewired half the fuse box.

Looks good..

No plans at all on going turbo?

Wish i had the time and a extra car to just go all out on one.. lol

i want to hit 500whp here in a few years

I think you have a little thing called OCD, my friend. However it translates into amazing work and you have one hell of a good start on yor project. I can't wait til i can buy another Daily Driver and get the eclipse off the road. I generally do not like body kits but I have been eyeing that BC2 for a while, though I think I'd leave the splitter off. I vote for keeping the tails but painting the funky center section black. That would be sex. Good work and I am really curious how you're planning to get to 500WHP while N/A. I'd like to see it.

Yes he's gonna hit 500 whp on a 420a. Man of course hes going dorced induction lol. If not then what ronin said. Viper engine direct drop in.

fire wall is glassed just need to sand and prime and paint it now

Its looking real good wish I knew how to mess around with wires like that. Cant wait to see it finished, I might use this as a how to guide when messing around with the interior.

I forgot to mention, I've owned a 80's Nissan sentra with the same odometer, read out 260/kh.

I did get pulled over doing 60 in 45 zone, the cop freaked out when he saw my odometer and wrote me a huge fine. I told him car from canada its in kh, he didn't care.

oo it will be turbo'd forgot to mention that part the center tailight is going black and the splitter looks alot better in person

That fiberglass cover looks nice.

What kind of fenders are those? For some odd reason....I like em. :)

there are D1 fendors got them from www.driftnamiperformance.com

well more work done








On the fiberglass peice on the passenger side will be 2 caps for the cooloant overflow and the windsheild washer tank and the one on the drivers will have some companies painted on it

I like the idea and look of the fiberglass cover for the firewall, however, I think your getting out of hand with all the 'covers' on the driver and passenger side IMO. I just think its going to look more like a Mercedes bay then a 2g.

thats looking great so far. how meny hours do you have into the car so far?

OMG! Quit quoting threads with pics! Take the fucking picture tags out of your reply with quote if you have to reply with quotes. Every single time you do this!

wow, that's look really nice. wish I could hack mine up like that and start doing all the crazy things I have wanted to do...
My respects to you man, it take lots of hard work to do that and even more by yourself hope to se that finished soon.

I sugest make a mold od the engine bay covers, you could sell them! and also they might crack during hard driving or something and repairing it lots of times aint fun!

Ok I gotta ask cause it has been bugging me since I saw it. Why do you have a breather for your rack when you looped the line?

i wanna see more pics :)

Wow!!! That looks like very tedious work, but looks really really good!

very nice good job

Hella nice, love all the pics too.

Thats good work. Thats the only kit I had ever thought about getting for mine. It looks so clean on a black car, but I stuck with 2gb.

Wow looks great brother! Cheers fellow 2gnt'er! :cheers Makes me what to start on mine but I wouldnt have a DD then lol. One question. What did you do to prep your transmission for paint? What did you use etc. What paint did you use? Reason I ask is I'm doing a SBC stage 1 clutch and wanna do the same thing! Your tranny is SHININ!

thanks everyone sorry bout the updates got a new job and moved to a new place but winters here funds are on the way up again and got some new skills loli just degreased the tranny sand blasted it then primed it sanded primed the paint just spray can dupli color i belive

Well not much progresss no pics anyway the interior is gutted again putting a full roll cage in so i can targa top the car also will be re inforcing the under neath of the car frame rails and what not . will be re doing the stereo setup ful fiberglass interior new seats and carpet. and looking into air ride kits and starting a motor build up ..
