Well since Im a student and dont have a full-time job i gotta do the upgrades one by one and small upgrades because i'm limited by money..
Well I had a car accident a few months ago and used the money to buy some stuff and i'm making a list with small upgrades i'm doing

-Tockico (shocks and springs) the blue ones
- camber kit for front and rear
- all gaskets needed for engine overhaul
- Blitz entire bodykit (doesn't count as performance)
-changing all filters (oil,gas and air)
-currently have a cold air intake with a K&N filter

here are some pics...


front


rear


side skirts


shocks


gaskets


I will keep editing this page as I upgrade more things

Not a fan of kits, but those shocks and springs are very good. I have them, and they are the bomb diggity. The filter changes are a must. Make sure you get an UDP if you don't already have one, and a gst exhaust for some nice and CHEAP performance additions. :thumbsup

UDP?? thats short for what??
Well I bought the kit because I had to buy a new bumper and decided to buy the kit then and hey it's kinda cheap ad it does look nice..
Next upgrade would be a ew fuel pump and I'm thinkig about putting a fuel rail but wanna do some research first to see if it would use up more fuel then current and how it will affect my performance
If there is a better upgrade then the fuel pump I would gladly like to know...

Sell the crappy body kit and follow these instructions here:

http://www.2gnt.com/index.php?d=Power%20Stages

UDP stands for Under Drive Pulley, like the name implies it puts less stress on the motor leaving more power for anything else. A fuel pump upgrade (unless yours is broken) will make no difference. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think you have a turbo set up? Even if you do, the stock fuel system can handle it up to a certain amount. Do what Dj said, and if you have any questions about whats on that guide, just copy and paste it onto the search.

ahhh, the ebay special blitz body kit...

sell that piece of junk to someone that you don't like. they never fit right. I'm speaking from experience on this one I tried and helped a friend try. do a 2gb front end and sideskirts, maybe a home depot lip for cheap and decent looks (ed can help on the installation of that one.)

otherwise if you want a decent looking body kit expect to spend some real money on something name brand.

oh, and listen to Deej, he may be a bit harsh but he knows his stuff. follow the link he gave you.

Not another blitz kit.....

beware that even with a good brand name AUTHENTIC bumper its still gonna need work to make fit.
i put about 10-12 hours into fitting mine, and thats fittment not paint prep!
your gonna love body filler and get to know every gap along your bumper lines too!

on the plus side you will be able to strip the bumpers off an eclipse in under 5 min when your done though :thumbsup lol

hahah well everyone warned me about putting a bodykit but I think it's darnn nice.. I like the stock front bumper of the 97 and up but I don't like the ones 95 and 96 like I got.. that's why I bought the kit and because I must had bought another bumper I said well why don't I "upgrade" it while I'm add it..
Thx for the link I saw it but there are some small things that cost a lot and this because I don't live in the States and so most things I gotta order and that makes it a bit expensive so I'm trying to build my engione up based upon the list but maybe it will be in different order maybe I could buy something in stage 1 and I ain't got stage 0 complete things like that

But thx for the help and info guys

Well after waiting a long time for all the other parts I go them all and before taking the car to a body shop I am gong to take down the engine for some overhaulin just changing seals and stuff is there anything I could do performance wise with the engine while it is down? I am buying piston rings and main rod bearing coming week so didn't buy them yet but is there something special I could add maybe better piston rings or whatever... Want some advice before buying standard piston rings of ebay...

So any advice would be useful

i run those Total Seal, they're pretty nice. use a 2-piece ring so it doesn't have a gap. Don't get cheap rings, make sure they're at least reputable.

it's 2008!! What the hell are people still doing with Blitz kits

I actualy purchased my eclipse with a Blitz body kit. I kinda like it but I think Im going to get rid of it now. lol. Im a newb and I dont know whats cool or not...lol.

Luis.

Meh, you could just do the ricer thing, and half-ass install your kit adn never get it painted, lol. (But I would ditch it ;) )

Ive been trying to ditch it but no one around Harrisburg PA has a stock front bumper or sideskirts. This sucks. x(

Luis.

Well after long waiting the car i finally finished in some way..
I have some trouble with the engine it is consuming lots of fuel and idling very bad.. I posted something about it I also put the Tokico HP blue with the red springs on it but am going to line on monday because the tires aren't straight \ / the front tires

Here are some pics of the car

Why is it the outside of the car is spick and span but the engine bay needs a pressure wash? That can be the purdiest part of our cars. Just have your girly friend grab a rag and get to wipen!

LOL! I meant to point that out earlier. looks like someone forgot to tell the person they were buying the kit from that they needed a 97-99 bumper

+1 I think you sould get rid of the front bumper becuase everyone has that style. just get a rear bumper and side skirts and then one of those bottom front bumper carbon lips for your stock bumper. never fiberglass always poly. but the main thing is go before show. follow the steps that Djtrickee gave you

looking good get that engine bay cleaned up. And i like the headlights where did you get them?

looks like Ebay halo specials.

Curacao? I was just there a couple of weeks ago.

Jeps the lights I bought them from ebay but they weren't the ones I ordered the ...hole that ordered them ordered smaller ones so my bumper doesn't fit well but the other ...hole the one that prepped and painted the car didn't fit the lights from the beginning so when the car was already painted then he realized that there was a gap and he left it like that but I must get some money back because he didn't do a good job.. so he has to give me some money back and I have to fix some little things

I bought the body kit because I'm currently the only one with it here on the island and there is one but it is so beat up that you can't notice it. so here it is still unique.

Still gotta upgrade small things like coil pack, fuel rail, fuel pump and get bigger rims and a bigger exhaust
but those things are when I get a bit more money and after all those things maybe but maybe a turbo kit.. gonna leave it @6 or 7 psi not more but if i even do it..
and the engine bay is like that because it was cleaned but after overhauling it stood like 2 months in the guy that fitted the body kit and painted the car's garden and there it was bombarded with dust and other filthy things
Now i'm using up too much gas and it is slowing down my plans

when life hands you lemons, make lemonade :P

you should run some lines up to those huge gaps, and install a nitrous kit, then make its purge through those gaps :)
