92495, My 2g Its been a while, be gentle Im Protective

We are all allowed 1 piece of rice IMO.

















She is dirty as hell from sitting there for 2 weeks.

Ill clean her and take good pics on the weekend if anyone wants to really see her...



I know the gauges look bright but this is all you see














took the pics 5 mins ago, yes thats a spill behind her...damn tiny funnel.

Yes the rims came with her, any suggestions? Im thinking black with a polished lip.

oh and YES it IS trash day...

yes, black rims w/polished lip will look nice especially on that color red. Is that the stock color? that red is nice - super bright. HID's have nice color hue too.

The rims need to go for sure and your intercooler is not straight either. Its too much too the passenger side for some reason it looks. When I had he star kit, mine wasnt like that at all.

Ditto.
If you can, cut out that piece on the front bumper in the center that has been oversprayed red, or just paint it black.
All that matters though, is you have a turbo.

The intercooler is the curse of the Star Kit EEK!!

You are missing something....... Oh yeah wheres your CEL. Don't you know thats when you know your are fast? Nice car. I like the little bit of rice. I have the same color and was thinking of the black rims aswell. Love your car man.

Yeah, the intercooler is not centered. I just took her out from storage and finished doing somethings. Its not even on its bracket, its onholding on with one bolt. Star pipes SUCK major ass, I plan to re route em, It allows me to keep the foglights though.

As for the over spray, eh, its what I get for going cheap on the repair. Long story short, a mini van barely scraped the front, ripped ot old front plate bracket and bumper with it. Had a friends uncle spray me a new one ( taiwanese). If you cant tell its a horrible job.

As for the rice, it feels better then the oem knob, and it looks ok,gunmetalish steel is cold sometimes.

The rims, yes , have to go. But its one hell of a sleeper lol.

oh and finaly the CEL, never had one. Shes been moded since I got her in 99 with 20k miles. Boosted since 22k ish miles. No Cat, and some other mods.

you know, ive been on this site for two or so years and i think that this is the only time i have ever seen a picture of your car besides the one in your sig. it looks good, except for the rims. id go with some 17" rota subzero's.....they look good and dont weigh much (i can get you pics if you want).

re: the shift knob

I, and three others in Arizona, are sporting that same knob. Now, only one of us actually lit it up, but you're right. It's a sweet alternative to the bulky rubber stocker. For $20 at Autozone, it's very cool.

I've even received compliments on mine. Good call.

Oh yeah, your car looks tight, bro. No doubt you've got your eye on a couple little things you want to get around to tweaking before too long. We all do. :thumbsup

Did you modify the turn signal housings at all? Either way yours seem to "light up" better than mine, maybe it was just the picture.

Also, if you'd like I could send you a few pictures of my car with black wheels (whithout a polished lip that is).

Actually Im looking at some that look like EclipseTonzoR's but slightly different.

Well the rims are HP Racing Evos, Konig makes them also they are called Konig Imagines. They are also the stock wheels on some BMWs. Just some food for thought, I would let you bite off me but I really wouldnt approve since we have the same color car. I bit off of TalonEsi or I forget his name but yea his was silver so I was like ehhh ok I'll get em.. But thanks for the compliment.
