plus supporting mods of course. i try to keep it clean, and yea i like the black bumper.i even got a red one i just dont like it. lol also right now i got the chrome gst wheels on, and just picked up a cf hood (oem of course) with the aerocatch hood pins.so lmk wut yall think

wut = what. Just in case anyone was wondering...

Looks good so far. It just seems like it is unfinished with the black bumper, which I am aware it is done on purpose.

yeah the bumper will be getting painted when the rest of the car does.im just not in a hurry to do that at the moment.

thanks for UR input. (ur=your)

Welcome... I think. Try to exercise some basic grammar skills, and you'll get on fine. Otherwise, the only replies you'll be reading will be like Deej's.

More pics of the car.

BTW, are you on TR, as well?

Welcome......

Fix your image tags.

Just put in the direct link to the picture.

Welcome!

heres one with the gramlights on her. should be taking more once i get my hood and valve cover re-done.

Welcome.
Let's try something ok?

1st: Proper grammar! It doesn't have to be harvard-english-major perfect, but a little extra effort goes a LONG way towards making you look like less of a dumbass.

2nd: Proper spelling! We're not a community of retarded teenage girls with bad texting habits. Again the effort helps to keep you from looking like a dumbass.

3rd: Capitalization! There's this amazing invention called a "shift key". You'll want to learn where it is and how to use it! See how it can change your life! When you refer to yourself as "i" we see some pathetic wuss that doesn't have a shred of self esteem, AKA: Cannon fodder with a giant bullseye right on their chest. "I" says, "I am worthy! I care about myself!"

Finally: Punctuation! When we can't tell where one sentence begins and another ends, a lot of us tend to stop reading altogether.


Otherwise, your car looks good. Act like an adult around here and you'll get treated like one

Welcomes..

keep it clean and talk/type like an adult. if you couldnt tell by this intro post already...people will take you much more seriously.

Man, you guys are a bunch of assholes.lol But it's cool though, no big deal. I got to say though, this site has helped me through alot of problems with the car. I have been looking for megasquirt tuners close to the Tampa area, anyone know of any? All of the shops around just laugh when you tell them it's not a 4G.

hey man its tough love...

Exactly. We're telling you now nicely here before you get blown out of the water in a tech thread. (trust me, this IS nice)

If you love the 2nd gen non turbo's we're right beside you, but don't expect us to treat you any differently than we treat eachother. We expect the same level of quality in our own posts as we do from you, and we'll call eachother's bullshit in a heartbeat.

If you want to type and act like a retarded ricer then go join the other fucksticks on the ricer forums. If you want to get great help and be part of an amazing community that LOVES the shit out of these cars then buck up, be an adult, and join us.

Again, welcome. We're not here to be assholes (ok, maybe Chris is) But we don't tolerate stupid

i wanna see a pic of this engine bay if your 40k is original miles and not on a rebuild. should be clean id assume...

Nah it's a rebuild, a fellow 2gnt guy did that for me. You guys should know Amit. He has one of the cleanest, badass 420a talon i have seen. He did one hell of a job on the rebuild. But anyways, I just got a camera so here are some pics of the car how it sits right now. Put the red bumper on, looks shitty to me lol.

Im not worried bout them lol thanks though. Nice set-up btw

looks good. nice strut tower! your playing with fire though with the timing belt cover removed. how much boost you running? forged internals?

The timing cover was removed more then 3 years ago lol but thanks for your concern. Currently stock internals, but I have a block that is bored .30 over so the plan is to start building that, from scratch. As long as the car isn't sold by then that is. Oh, and I am currently running about 7-8lbs of boost.

part it.

lol wow.If it sells, then it sells. I have no problem keeping the car, this is my first car (have owned it for 5 years) and I love it. The only reason it is even up for sale is because my mom has been nagging me to get a newer car (evo!).

tell her to get bent!

haha trust me i do. Even though she was the one that picked out the car first. <a href="http://s68.photobucket.com/albums/i12/slowboy420At/?action=view¤;t=dsm001.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> How she looked 6 years ago :)

what kinda suspension setup?

Agreed. The last person that seriously told me to sell my Eclipse nearly got their head torn off. Luckily for them they were in another state.

Well back in the day the car had blown suspension lol Right now kyb agx with neuspeed springs. She hugs the corders pretty good, just cant wait to really finish the suspension :) gotta love having a money pit lol

A DSM isn't a money pit.

This is a money pit

lol don't get all upset. I didn't mean that in a negative way. But it is what it is. Meth injection is the next step for her though. Figure why not, what could it hurt?

Relax, I was funnin' ya (even if it is true)

Water/meth injection is a great way to reduce intake temps, and lower intake temps are ALWAYS a good thing. Another nice side effect is that it keeps your pistons and combustion chambers sparkling clean. No carbon buildup!

BTW, good job on posting like an adult :thumbsup

Thanks, I feel like a whole new man :). Right now I'm debating on buying drag radials or the meth. I know this sounds lame but as of right now, im sticking with 8lbs... I want to focus more on my suspension set-up, as I love the twisties! So stockish motor, all the fuel upgrades, clutch, meth and full suspension. Wish I had someone to tune this megasquirt that is just collecting dust though...Florida megasquirt guys holla! Oh and all input good or bad is much appreciated.

Damnit, I'm starting to like you.

I see we are about the same shit. What suspension set-up are you running?

busted ass stock currently. I sold a ton of shit the first time I blew up the engine to survive during an unemployment. The only thing I have left is my EVO8 6 spoke wheels

dont be gay erik

lol damn. I wouldn't mind a set of those wheels, glad i at least have my gramlights. So the aem meth kit is just a click away, just doing a little more research on the install and where to get the meth round these parts... Anyone know the size of DR i could run on a set of 16s with the car low like it is?

There's no way that I could ever replace you man

nice 2g

thanks. It will be looking alot nicer here soon, finally got money to make her look good. Trying to decide what muffler I want to go with. Nothing import, I have been thinking magnaflow..

mmm, I recommend magnaflow cat. convertor 3' turbo type since your turbo. Also, go with a turbo type exhaust 3' front to rear.

A friend of mine says Borla is the best but its pricey, there's Flowmaster thats a non import brand but I recommend an N1 type/ or thermal to save some cash(check egay)

yeah i was going to go with the magnaflow muffler. Its going to be weird having a car with an actual exhaust, as mine dumps pretty much underneath where the shifter is. So it will def be alot quieter.

Why dont you fix your fucking duct work

Because my fucking duct work does the job, plus its a pretty tight squeeze. When I pick up my new manifold I plan on clocking the turbo so there will be room. I'm either picking up the treadstone manifold or the symtech labs manifold. The more input the better so thanks! (im not being a smartass lol)

i dig the bumper, i was sporting that too, on black primered body... nic car man...
