Re: *56k warn* My car "Gabriela

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the stock piping for the Eclipse a 2.5 inch piping. Anyways, I'd say a nice set of rims, clutch, LSD, and work on the suspension. Maybe some halos with the HID clean. Pretty sharp and clean ride you got there.

Re: *56k warn* My car "Gabriela

thank you very much, i just got a new clutch so that's about as far down the road as a turbo, rims are great but i want a 2k$ set, and suspension will be until summer at least...
i do like mojo04GT's headlights

and the stock piping is 2.25 inches, same as a magnaflow cat-back for my car...
its plenty sufficient for now and has a nice little growl...i don't want the wot honda screaming sound...

Re: *56k warn* My car "Gabriela

I haven't gotten any dirty looks from the 4G folks yet. Of course that could be because I haven't driven my car since June . You car looks good. Not too crazy on the underglow but I don't like any underglow unless it illuminates the entire underbody as one big patch instead of four separate patches on each side. Smart decision on waiting for the exhaust. I didn't feel any noticeable gains from it and since it looks like you have plans for FI you should just wait and get a 3" any how.

I noticed it today on base. There's this guy with one of the orange/copper colored 06's and I was at a light waiting to turn left and he turned infront of me and as he was going by he kept staring at me with this weird look, I stared back like wtf? I completely didn't get it. My husband was in the car and he was like damn what was up with that dude?

Lol, Ya man i have noticed that...I live in Hamilton Ontario so there aren't many of our type driving around...But the other day for the first time ever a guy pulled up beside me with the 06 model in black and looked at me odd...so i rolled down my window n asked him wut was up...he goes "Ya, Just looking at how ugly your car is", I'm like WTF!!! Its the same car as yours only a different year!..."There is no way that is an eclipse, Look at the difference of our bodies, not happeneing, fuck off little kid." Man was I ever pissed...Retired bastards buying these cars and not even respecting the history of them. If you like one, you like all..Not just the year...Thats a true car fan, you dont' just pick and choose...lol Sorry had to vent that out lol

Yeah Exactly. Before I got my car I checked out the 1G's and 2G's. I know its a line that has changed and stuff. So it does irritate me that people that don't know shit are gonna go buy these cars and think they are bad ass and look down at us with our 3G's. Whatever. Honestly if I was to get rid of my 3G and buy another car it sure as hell wouldn't be a 4G, I can't even get past their fugly looks.

The fronts of the 4g isnt that bad....but that ass....oh my god that ass. It looks terrible if you ask me. IDK, it looks like they wanted to put the front of the car in the back...and when they decided to switch it, they didnt change the drawing and just made it rounder and put tail lights on it. Im not bashing it...but for as much as people bash the 3g (which i think is a very good looking car) I thought someone needed to say something.
