the much talked about F&F eclipse

Yes I know..I know.. More F&F eclipse questions.. it's addictive isn't it? Anyways.. Before you freak out on me...yes I have read the other thread that referred to this question but it isn't answered so here it goes again.. What are the Interior specs of the F&F eclipse? It is driving me insane...mainly the pedals and shift knob..I've done research and I can't seem to find them...

Thanks..

Ractive shift knob, I believe

lets try to keep it to the same thread... like now that you have started a thread about F&TF questions... any questions you have keep them here! dont start new threads everytime you have a new question!!! its annoying to people who dont like the movie and other people that dont like wannabes... so dont get mad if you get bashed! so keep the same topic questions in this thread!

I'm sorry but people don't visit old threads...so it's the only way to get an answer

and plus...it's only a few things...it's not like I want every single thing on the car

well when you post in an older thread it brings it right back up to the top and puts an arrow on it... letting everyone know that someone has posted in it and they havent read it yet, then once you click on it, the arrow goes away! so when you post in an old thread everyone sees that it was brought back for some reason, then usually they will check it out!!!

:repost: what are you building a replica :loser: I love the 2g eclipse and modding the hell out of it but i can honestly say that that car is the epitamy of all that is wrong with the sport compact scene
1. to many stickers to count (like he had that many sponsors) laaaaamme.
2. it was in the same movie as that Vin Diesel jackass :gay:
3. it had a friggin roof scoop (I see no function in the form here)
4. why spend that much on a carbon fiber hood to lose weight, if your going to add weight (body kit, neons huge, roof scoop etc)
5. it does nothing but flaunt how much money was spent. and advertise.
6. now every ricer in the planet wants to add nos and blows their shit up cause they couldn't buy a cluuuee. (that's actually a plus to me)
7. yes it helped mitsubishi but when they put out the 3g they took a huge dump on their enthusists.
8. there is an idiot ricer that copied that car here to a T and i smoke him like left over bud. then he cries :crying: and goes home. he gets no respect from the teenage ricers either :loser: (which is sad to say the least).
the movie sucked the car is sacralige van diesel is gay :gay: it had a stupid sequel, ludacris sucks .the end
9. who cares what shifter nob he had. if you want this info mr. skyline find a ff fanclub and ask them.
:swear: :dupe:

and by the way the only reasonnoone answered your last thread is because ... survey says....ding ding ding , lame

i like the movie. even though most of it was hollywood. i still thought it was better then watching a love comedy

well... to answer the question... and to combat some of the things that slowgsowner said. Here is my input.

The answer to your question:
The interior of the eclipse consisted of sparco torino race seats, a sparco shift knob, and sparco racing pedals. the groovy little pop up tv thinger was a clarion and the thing you saw come up was the equalizer function for a stereo. the switches he flipped, were simply toglle switches that made pretty little lights come on that served absolutely NO purpose.

Now for slowgsowner:
The movie may have been unrealistic and full of bad acting. but it is responsible for sending the import scene into the whirlwind it is today.

1.) He has a troy lee designs graphic on the side... and maybe three sponsor stickers. All of which were companies who actually DID donate parts to the "hero" car. which is the one that actually WAS dope as hell.

2.) The car was also a show car.. so the roof scoop may not have served any purpose in the performance area but did add some asthetic appeal.

3.) have you ever held a body kit? and then held a stock bumper in your other hand? Body kits (fiberglass at least) are NOT HEAVY. why does everyone think this? the difference in wieght is so miniscule! if you buy a poly kit.. yes it will weigh more. but 85% of kits are glass. By adding a body kit, you may add 5 lbs of weight.. MAYBE 10. by adding a CF hood... you loose 40. plus, once again, looks are great. Neons, wiegh about as much as a roll of paper towels when they're wet. NOT a big problem when you've got a "t4" hahahaha.

4.) it was built for the simple purpose of flaunting it's image and looking good. thats what the purpose of the whole movie is. aside from drag racing.. the import scene is all about looking good! there's nothing wrong with building a car for the simple purpose of advertising. our shop has 3 of them!!

5.) NOS is a company... Nitrous Oxide Systems. it is not a chemical. I have a wonderful write up on nitrous that I would be more than happy to post should anyone want to see it. While I have no personal experience with using nitrous I have installed it. I know many people that do use it, and when installed properly... it's pretty hard to "blow your engine to shit"

6.) The 3g mitsubishi was built by chrysler, in america. I have a very good friend who owns an 02 GT and I personally am starting to like the car. Not as much as my 2g, but it is still nice. It's just a different look, designed by a different company. DSM is gone... sad but true. The 3G may be a completely different car but it also has it's own following that is steadily growing in size. along with the aftermarket parts area for the vehicle.

7.) a car is built to please it's owner... not YOU. wow... you were able to "smoke" another car. perhaps he can't drive. perhaps his car is "gay" regardless... he may suffer from a lack of originality and he thought that the F&F eclipse was the shit. so he built one. who cares about getting respect from ricers. I used to care.. then I realized that it doesn't mean shit as long as I like my car. How many other cars can you smoke? and do you cry when you lose?

8.) vin diesle will kick your ass, ludacris made more money off that movie than you will ever be able to contemplate in a lifetime.. no matter how gay it was. The cars are all built by a studio design team... so if you want to blame anyone.. blame them. all they do is go out and find out whats selling and what is considered "hot" and put it on the car to please people.

Finally, this is an "eclipse" forum... where you go to ask questions about the mitsubishi eclipse. He had a question about one. so he posted in a perfectly fine place. However much you may hate the movie, don't go apeshit on a kid who may have liked the shift knob and pedal set he saw in the car. You are more than entitled to your opinion.. and all of this is simply MY opinion. The movie.. had horrible acting, clueless actors and scrpt writers and some pretty cheezy parts. BUT it made the scene what it is now.. and is responsible for supporting the shop and making people in my shitty as town interested in imports and keeping me off welfare. So there you have my 2 cents. the movie sucked, the sequal sucked, they were nice looking cars. They had good parts. and were never driven over 40 mph. ding ding ding... I'm done

Nough' said :p

:owned:

Thats all I have to say :biggrin:

wow....thanks..

Import2nr99 you own a shop?

Wow...that was a really long ass thread....but very enjoyable to read

I have no idea whats goin on...take me to funky town

I mean --post-- not "thread"

okay yes I was alittle harsh to 0o sklyline o0, I apologize. build what you want. please let me reiterate
1.you should look again and count how many stickers there are I saw a lot more that 3 ( more like 10 on each side) and no in my opinion the car is not my style.
2. show car or not the roof scoop is lame
3. I install several kits a month, and while they are not "heavy they do add weight (more than you think) and drag (varies per kit) I myself have a carbon hood, but I keep losing weight where possible while not adding any via neons, a huge sound system, fiberglass everywhere inside etc. (applies only to my gsx) just my style is all.
4. yes looking good is important, but if showing off everything under the hood by putting stickers all over my car is cool, I'm screwed. I leave advertising to manufacturers and keep the stickers off my car.
5.iknow what nos stands for I'm just to lazy to type nitrous oxide. I won't do it again. yes, if installed correctly it won't blow a motor "to shit"
(popular phrase here huh) but 90% of these "kids" don't have the money to take it to a tuner, and don't have the knowledge to know there are consequanses for such gains. that or their motor /driveline ain't up to par. (i just love how when they hit it in the movie every thing looks like a bad acid trip, real realistic there weren't they)
6. regard less who built the 3g I and a lot of enthusists hate the bastard and are pissed about the loss of a great (bad things happen to good cars)
7.true the jerk in the replica can't probably can't drive and yes I get beat time to time but, I don't cry I just build faster and get even. most of the time I sit around and talk with those who beat me, enough to figure out why anyway. I used to care...
remember that when you see a hooptee and laugh. or try to pick up a girl for a date in a beater that uses more oil than gas. I'm not vain, but It is important for me that others like my car a little anyway
8.vin diesel is still gay regardless and whats this ...a musician making money? wow... furthermore you know 2 things about my income jack and shit. Jack left town an hour ago. now please tell me again how its not about flaunting cash but image, highroller. put it on the car to please people
finally I am glad to see that you are doing well in your field, thats great but the scene would have got here without the movie (just a little slower and with less idiots) sorry if I offended anybody, do what you like, but for petes sakes somebody break out with something original please

Finally, this is an "eclipse" forum... where you go to ask questions about the mitsubishi eclipse. He had a question about one. so he posted in a perfectly fine place. However much you may hate the movie, don't go apeshit on a kid who may have liked the shift knob and pedal set he saw in the car.......

just incase you were refering to my post... i was just telling him not to post so many new questions on the same topic! it gets annoying and then when we come to read the threads there are 5 threads of just F&TF stuff, or anything else for that matter! just saying for everyone to keep it to the same topic or thread!

I think he was refering to this :)...
9. who cares what shifter nob he had. if you want this info mr. skyline find a ff fanclub and ask them.

mmm controversy is so much fun haha. slogsowner, don't take anything I said as a direct bash towards you. all of my post was simply my input and personal experience. to each his own. the movie blew, the cars were gay, and I was bored and pissed at the world when I posted. so no harm no foul. The car was lame and overrated, and way too cluttered... but thats hollywood for ya.

To answer joes question I don't own, but help out and work at my friend ross's shop. he's a body god and has taught me just about everything I know about painting and body work.

RST the post wasn't about you, I was referring to the "go to a f&f fanclub" thing.

Once again, no insults to you or a bash on your ride or driving skills. I was in a bad mood, and went off a little too much. my apologies. I do agree with the drag a kit adds. this is very true. and yes, the movie did bring out way too many wanna be's with no originality or style. it's sad... but it happens everywhere. I like stickers.. I mean... at 5 hp a piece.. its well worth the investment haha. I'm just playin. No hard feelings man.

i just wanted to say thanks guys for giving me something to read. It actually took me 10 min to read all of that bashing.... :twak:

no prob dude I have had A rough week too (DIVORCE) ouch! sorry if I was "bashing" , 0o skyline o0. do what you want man, even if you are making a replica. (you never answered)
but, I get to keep my car, my clothes, my house, and 85% of whats in it. that'l teach that cheating ------. Guy's let me tell ya, It pays to be the bread winner of the house. :lol:

Bravo.... Well said.

good thing you aren't in cali... you would be like '...and she even got my car, then she crushed it right in front of me and laughed as i took the 2 grocerybags of my belongings down the street' [hey just trying to lighten ya up]

1. to each his own.
2. uhh, did anyone notice how realistic Star Wars was? i'm making a replica pod racer [is that too ricey? i heard those things were fake? and what kind of shifter was on that one the guy with three arms was racing?]
3. <runs around corner and slams into FAKE backdrop of allyway in Hollywood like Jay and Silent Bob>
4. in F&TF2 the cars that run out of the garage were all real from the import tuner/show scene. but that is all.
5. it was an entertaining as hell movie.
6. i know enough about Naval Aviation that i can pick apart Top Gun on everything going on in the movie. But i don't cuz it is still cool. oh and it's a MOVIE.
7. Vin Deisel can kick your ass. and Ludacris makes mad loot. but i do get handed $15,000 commission checks quite often. [but i can't for the life of me figure out where it all goes <CgOaUmGbHlCiOnUgGsHtCrOiUpGpHeCrOsUGH>
8. stickers are cool. especialy on my refridgerator. oh and on the dust covers of my Technics 1200's.
9. N2O will kill you. so hide the ballons from ME.
10. every 3G i see i wonder WHY? then i see an EVO 8 and i say THAT'S WHY.
11. i love illegal street races. the only problem is i have seen people killed doing them. so now i do this all for myself [and to smoke ricers at stoplights and go really fast on freeway/highway on-ramps].
12. i may try to get some drag times on a real drag track someday, but not until my car is maxed out with lots of dyno tuning. however my car now is in no way near the setup i would ever want to run, therefore it would be pointless to run it. oh, and it is a FF.
13. pinging the speed limiter is fun and driving canyons are fun. these are much greater concerns of mine.
14. lists are fun too, especialy funny ones ;)
15. Pam Anderson is on the new Playboy cover [i think she has the record for most covers too]. damn she is hot!
16. acceleration is cool too. <thinking of Cheech and Chong Up In Smoke: first geeeeeeeear, second geeeaaaaaaar>
17. my car is definitly fun to me. no matter what the track times or the HP or if YOU like it or not. i do lots of things that people don't like, i'm sure of that <pppfffffrrrrrrrrrrt> oh sorry please excuse me :)
18. farts are funny.
19. cars that look and sound like they need to be harrased by cops often are. too bad they don't make invisible stickers. oh wait they do and i have them all over my car [probably for like 50 or 60 HP total] you just can't see them!
20. this forum is pretty cool, don't you think?
21. roof scoops would be cooler it they could be retracted like the sunroof. <hmmm...i wonder if they make one for a convertible>
22. i just want to have fun doing something i like to do. God Bless America :)
23. some people should never play Need For Speed: Underground. anti-ricers should be made to watch it Clockwork Orange Style. i beat it. didn't gert any sleep, but it was sun as hell. and my GSX rules all. well except my Skyline ;) [oh you should see the Ricer Civic i built!!! all looks, HUGE wing, stock internals, like a billion stickers!!!!]
24. it's funny that you can say civic backwards and it is still civic. just like ricir.
25. Brian O'Conner does not exist - Spartu5 [i think that was his screenname, it's been a while]
26. F&TF: creating Fanboi's since 2001 - JoeWagon
27. no, he didn't just jump a muscle car onto a boat and save the day. damn, it was a great movie up until that part.
28. i replica'd that ejector seat.
29. i gotta stop this shit.
30. ok all of you get back to work. ME included ;)

nice

NFSU ow3ndz J00!! BEACHE!! :evillol:


Tell 'em Javi said so!

Alright...To please RST, my next question will stay in this thread. Which BOV was used on the one from the F&F eclipse? Does anyone know?

i'm pretty sure that eclipse was not even turbo'd and it was add-in sound. i think it was an RS really.

i heard it was from a turbocharge integra

No yeah I know it was from a turbod integra type R but it did have a BOV...so which one was it?

dont know. :(

Alright...To please RST, my next question will stay in this thread. Which BOV was used on the one from the F&F eclipse? Does anyone know?

damn right... you better please me!!! j/k thanks for keeping it here!

probably that turbo xs RQFL [?], you know the super sound one...

dont know. :(


Damn! That's a hot bitch!

I love how there is no racial terms used here, or no excessive profanity, or no slandering anyone, but we can refer to girl as a "hot bitch"....But yeah she is one hot bitch! lol

WHERE'D YOU GET THAT PICTURE OF MY GIRLFRIEND?!?!?! damn you chavez! YOU'RE MINE!


ok... I'm just dreaming again... I wish she was mine... mmmmmmmm yummy

their callin' me a hot bitch, RST! hold me back!! i dont want to hurt 'em!!




j/p :D, yeah shes hot, but some mod in this forum deleted it from my sig :( as you can see! they say its not rated PG-13..

but a gerbil fucking a mouse is ok???!!!!????

LMAO

i just watched the moive again just to look at the eclipse now that i look at it and see its seven diffrent colors and at random times when hes driving and talking but has his hand nowhere near the shifter but he still seems to be shifting i start to wonder :eek7: what was so great about that car nothing i get from really looking at it i was more impressed with the rx r33 and 240 and yes the v-dub

i have to reference my list on p.2 of this thread about that one...
