I don't see why everyone thinks this is so hard. Just make a complete tube chassis complete with suspension, put any engine/transmission combo in it from a front wheel drive (you know a Toranado came with a FWD 455!) and cut the shell off an Eclipse and drop it on. It's not really a MR Eclipse, but it gets the job done.


Nothing is ever this easy. So let me get this straight, all I have to do is make a complete tube chassis w/suspension, apparently just dropping in any old FWD engine I want, simply cutting the entire shell off of an Eclipse and then just dropping it on, hoping it just fits all nice and snug and I'm done? Boy that does sound easy! Oh wait, then there is still wiring, cooling, keeping heat out of the cabin, fuel, etc etc. Not to mention the fact that most MR cars have a near 50/50 weight distribution, and this certainly wouldn't. Oh ya, and all of this simple modification stuff will end up costing more than if you were to buy three MR2's...

Sorry, I just don't see the 'simplicity' in this.

'95 GSX - New motor/turbo going in...
'95 TSi AWD - For sale...buy me!
'03.5 MazdaSpeed Protege - Stock daily driver
'97 CBR 600 - Purple is a real man's color
