80801, Nice weather so took some PICS (No 56K)
Posted by Ryan_Hes, Jan-24-05 02:05 PM
It's been a while since I have gone out and taken pics...and I've been meaning too since I got my rims and other small things for the car. The weather was okay...lighting was decent... I will take better pics come spring. Let me know whatcha think.



I thought this came out well


Kinda blurry, but decent


I almost scrape EVERY time....but I never do....millimeters I tell ya. :)








Pulling out of my little garage :)


Dished 19's....ahh


mmmhmm






Wicked tread

Let me know what you guys think...

niiiice
i'm still not feelin the turbo wing though. it would look far, far, far, far better with a Commando or GT-R wing... like worlds better. the BC2 kit sort of pushes out all the angles of the car, makes it more squared off, so a spoiler more in line with the new lines would look better. as it stands, the wing looks tacked on because it starts from nowhere, there are no curves that it flows with, and it is all rounded and girly looking while the rest of the car is muscular and sporty.

It looks good... don't get me wrong on that.

I just miss the stock '97-'99 body with the body colour matched headlight housings. It just worked really well.

Definately, though, it still looks awesome.

Just how the tread is designed.... They are BFGoodrich Scorcher TA's... lack of tread = more traction I suppose, like a slick? They hook up better than any wheels I've ever had on my car, I know that.

Thanks for the compliments...

The wheels are 19x8.5 rims with 225/35 tires with a 38mm offset.
The car is lowered on H&R Sport springs. The springs are noted at 1.8 in the front and 1.6 in the rear is I remember right...but I think they settled a tad lower than that. I can fit about 1 finger in the front fender well, and 2 in the rear.

Looks very nice. It might just be me but the mitsu emblem looks really low on the front bumper.

225? damn , they wont fit on my car , my fender sat right on top of the rubber.the fender started to crack i raised it back up... kinda sucks cuz we have a team sponsorship from Dunlop... and i can't use their tires :( i have a 2" drop but i think it settled quite a bit lower and i need to get my rear fenders rolled
did u have to roll urs?

Yeah, I rolled the rears myself. I used a rubber mallet and went along the 'lip'. You have to hit it hard as hell, but it works. My rubbing issue is not in the rear whatsoever - only in the front do I rub maybe once a month if I hit some train tracks just a tad too quickly. It will only rub if the train tracks are bogus, most tracks I can cross normally, these springs are pretty stiff...probably the main reason I don't rub as much as you'd think.

what the HELL do you have against the turbo wing? lol every damn time someone post pics with a turbo wing you say take it off lol. look at front of the car with the smooth roundness from the hood down to the bottom, matches perfectly with the spoiler.

i'm going to quote one funny ass saying somebody said to you awhile ago but i don't remember who...

"i'll get rid of my turbo wing when you get rid of your talon bumpers" LOlOloLolOllLOL.

oh, your car is probably my most favorite kitted car :thumbsup

Thanks for the compliments... yea-- I've always been a supporter of 19's...especially with my kit...I needed to fill the wheel well.

Oh god, PLEASE dont get the commando wing. Somebody needs to burn that mold. Keep the turbo wing, the turbo wing is by far the sexiest wing for the Eclipse. I liked mine so much I ended up custom building one to fit the Wide Body.
