You will need to build the internals to handle that kind of power, the coilovers are way overkill unless you are a pro road course racer, you could get the same results for about half the price if you werent so insistant on certain brands, and I dont think you know what you are talking about on the intake deal. 4" air intake and 4" turbo intake? :wtf:

:slap: Owning a DSM isn't about name brands. It's about how much money you can save, so you can use that money to fix broken parts :icon16: (but even then we usually resort to duct tape)
With all that money, I actually would save up to repair broken parts. It seems like you want a lot of power, but with all that power (if you even get there), something will break. Really though, what the hell is this car going to be used for? It almost sounds like you're going to blow your money on all these parts for bragging rights, and I find that extremely pointless.. unless you can prove me wrong. You remind me of me and my friends when we were younger and we said we'd get this and that. It was called dreaming lol. Most of them never did what they said they would get, but I got my Eclipse and I'm happy.

Wanta know the truth...When I first got my eclipse, my buddy told me he would race me for $10k. He has a heavily modded Z06.....plus ive been saving up for performance parts for my old RIP supra TT...So I have money for the mods. And I have a buddy who owns a DSM garage here in Montreal. So I get repairs cheap.

You're "buddy" just forked over $10,000? ..because you beat his Z06? ..with your Eclipse? If you were going head to head with a Z06, you'd probably need all those mods you've listed haha. Come on now. A $10,000 race seems a bit.. fake. Was it a drag or a time trial? How much horsepower is your Eclipse putting out? E/T times? Did you have an aluminum spoiler and some NOS? It was NOS wasn't it. haha.

Sorry man...but you gotta read my posts carefully...mod list...(to be) I dont have the 10k to give to him (ontop of the $$ going towards my mods)...but I dont plan on losing...trying to hit roughly 500-550hp for now...

Stock 2g pistons and rods will break just LOOKING at that turbo. Also, since your are FWD better plan on a damn good set of slicks and a LSD. A built tranny will probably be needed as well. Cams and SMIM are also very good ideas. You'll also want a metal head gasket and ARP head studs.
Do you realize that list is like 20 grand? Believe me homeboy, you could build the same car for a LOT less. A 3000gt caliper/Cobra rotor combo will cost you like/less than a quarter of the Rotora combo. Sportlines/AGX's will do you fine and only be like $500 compared to the many thousand dollar Tien coilovers. DC sports strut bars is completely rediculous, 90% of the price tag is for the name. Same with the other Greddy shit, other brands will do just as well for much less.
Just stop putting up this front. You do not have 20 grand to waste on these parts. If you really did, you'd realize how much more you could do for the same amount of money by avoiding this overpriced brand name kits.

You don't have 10 grand, but it sounds like your mods are going to cost that if you go by name brands. It's what everyone else has been saying. Why do you need name brands to make 500 hp? What is your budget?
If you're going to buy it, go ahead. Hope you know what you're doing..

Did you caps lock all the brand names so we would think "holy shit, he goes with the good stuff, he must know what he's talking about?" Like EVERYONE else says, you could save over half of what you're spending if you just shopped around a bit. And I don't believe a word you say either and I won't believe anyone until they can prove it. Do you know how many fuckheads come around here and try to tell us their mod list and then brag themselves up and never show up again? A LOT! We don't care what you run, ran, or are going to run unless you have something good to say about it. If you had all that money to spend on just performance parts alone, I can almost assure that you wouldn't be screwing around with an Eclipse and you'd be driving something alot nicer. Do us all a favor and just quit trying to look cool. Thanks and have a nice day.

No. See, some of us are on here daily and see tons of people just like you, badasses that tell us their mod list and then leave, if you aren't one of those then please, prove me wrong. Do you think we give a fuck what your mod list is? If you have questions on specific parts, then ask us, otherwise don't go telling us your whole mod list without first telling us about you or maybe something interesting. If, and IF, you're on here long enough to understand what exactly I'm talking about, then I'm willing to bet you'll be the same way too.

He has a right to be bitter. Theres newbies in here all the time without a damn clue what they are talking about saying they have like $10,000 in parts coming. Anyone else remember that one guy that I had an arguement with? Had a $7000 SBR order coming in and he was going to post pictures of it to prove it? Did we ever hear from him again? No. Its easy for anyone to just pick up a Import Tuner and look at someone elses mod list and say that they want that too. This isnt the first list you've put up and you didnt listen to jack shit we said then either. Seriously, go tabulate all that shit you are getting. For 550 hp its going to be a SHIT ton of money to spend, and he is also right on the fact that if you really had that kind of money, you wouldnt have a 96 GST.

If u have all that money and were planning to put so many mods and horses into your car why wouldn't you at least start out with a GSX. Your slicks are going to have to be something fierce and your going to have to hook up before you race him. And do u really, really want to risk ten g's on one race... I mean lets just say you can beat him If you miss a shift or blow anything (Im guessing rods) your out ten g's 10 000$ TEN THOUSAND dollars.
I think you've been playing too much need for speed.

I have listened to everytihng that BoarderOfSnow86, AWDDSM9, and Clipse KId 99, etc have said to me on aim....It helps if the reply to my posts are longer than a line or 2...helps to know what part the individual thinks I should replace, why, and what it would do for me....
Simply saying...change this to this cause it is better...doesnt suffice...Im not trying to be an asshole at all, but do you see what im trying to say...
I love this forum and have been a member since 2004...with my camero (which was a 2.8 until I did my mod list with you guys and built it to a 454 with TH350 tranny...(Mr. Luos, 89IROC&RS, KaotiKCamaro5 and more), my jeep cherokee sport...which i have fixed many problems with the help of GT Rider 0, g4bewatt, and many others...and now my eclipse...
I was just trying to get some input from fellow DSMers on the list that I tried to put together over the past few months. I guess I have to word my posts a lot better not to affend anyone.

Then ask us about certain things. Don't put up a huge ass mod list and say, "What do you think?" You could get MILLIONS of replies because everyone has their own opinions. DSM's aren't like other cars, alot of the little parts you can make yourself with a little intelligence and creativity. I didn't mean for this to go into a flaming war, but you also have to understand where we come from with tons of people that just show their mod lists all the time and then leave, it gets real sickening. Alot of your questions could be easily answered by searching, or even looking at other peoples mod lists. And wording your posts so you don't look or sound like an idiot also will help too.
EDIT: And proper grammar will get you a long ways. Typing....like...this...all...the...time...gets... really...annoying....to...read...because...you...c an't...tell...where...one...sentence...ends...and. ..another....starts.

For the brand name thing....the car might turn into a show car afterwards....so having brand names helps me to get sposors a lot easier than if I had no brand names at all...
People will praise you more for doing your own thing and being creative than just buying millions of dollars in brand name parts when you could damn near make one for 1/10th of the price.

Tell that to carsponsorship.com
I told them about my origal mod list for my camero...with no name brands and they laughed....it was atleast 700hp but I got just about no sponsors...Gila films, brauplunk audio and thats all...
Then I made up a lie and reposted my application and siad I had all these name brands and I got about 13 sponsors (all full...no quasi crap)....
So what the hell is wrong with those people then?

Did you actually get anything from those sponsors? Carsponsorship.com is a joke to me, I've never seen or heard of anyone ACTUALLY getting stuff from them. Hell, I've gotten some e-mails from them because of my Eclipse, and it's no where near show car condition.

Sponsers want their name all over your car... not home depots. Personally I will only go name brand when I have to or it is the better choice.

My buddy has a 1995 mazda mx-3 with the KLZE motor...he signed up and got 5 initial sponsors...then he went to shows and got 4 more...then more.......all full except for one...he got whatever he wanted from: Fidanza, vertical doors, Flame Kitz, Street FX, Blaupukt (indash LCD free), Gila films, TsunamiRevPM, and some other ones....he went from a shit car when he bought it to a gorgeous showcar...without spending more than a few bucks on shipping from the companies....thats all...

I have listened to everytihng that BoarderOfSnow86, AWDDSM9, and Clipse KId 99, etc have said to me on aim....It helps if the reply to my posts are longer than a line or 2...helps to know what part the individual thinks I should replace, why, and what it would do for me....
Simply saying...change this to this cause it is better...doesnt suffice...Im not trying to be an asshole at all, but do you see what im trying to say...
I love this forum and have been a member since 2004...with my camero (which was a 2.8 until I did my mod list with you guys and built it to a 454 with TH350 tranny...(Mr. Luos, 89IROC&RS, KaotiKCamaro5 and more), my jeep cherokee sport...which i have fixed many problems with the help of GT Rider 0, g4bewatt, and many others...and now my eclipse...
I was just trying to get some input from fellow DSMers on the list that I tried to put together over the past few months. I guess I have to word my posts a lot better not to affend anyone.
I talked to you on AIM? Lol, I don't think I did. I just looked at your public profile on here and I don't remember talking to that name before.

How come you don't say any of this shit in your original post? Like.. you built the car so you can race your friend, who just so happens to have a z06, who just so happens to be from the 3rd richest family in Canada, who's also Chretien's grandson ...but isn't rich because of him, but because his parents own SONY or some shit like that, and then you go on saying that you don't have money, but don't mention it until near the damn end that you gets parts cheap (let alone a friend who OWNS a garage) and also has a friend who has a pimped out MX3 that just so happened to get bombarded with sponsors and now you want to have a show car and have sponsors... but i thought you just wanted to beat you're friend's Z06.
Honestly, it's like the story is getting developed as we go along. Spit out the entire story already, or are you just adjusting them to every accusation we're throwing at you? I'm sorry, there's like a 5% chance that everything you're saying is actually true. You might probably think that I can think whatever the hell I want, and I will. i think you should do the DSM community a favour and not rice out another Eclipse. They're beutiful cars in general and they don't need to be covered in flashy neons and have girls hanging off of them. Neons are for Civics and the girls are mine lol.
..but that's only my opinion. You can stop while you're ahead, or you can keep going with this story. If all this is true though, then do whatever you want, like Mex said. Since you're apparently going for show and go, I'll be expecting to see you in Modified Mag.. not Import Tuner. What's you're full name, by the way? So I'll know what name to look for in the magazine. I'm subscribed to the mag, so it'd be hard you miss you.. if you actually make it lol.

You are so full of shit. You dont get sponsors because of the parts you have on. You get those parts from the sponsorships themselves. Also, if you really worked at a shop why dont you already know all of this stuff? Why didnt you mention any engine mods? You said you are trying to finalize a list, but you dont have it all here? How are we supposed to give you suggestions? Why do you want a 500hp show car?

This thread seems stupid as hell...
If your not here to impress anyone mtcs, then why do you keep bragging about this shit to us? Wow, holy shit, he's gonna race the prime ministers grandson... Dude, nobody cares who your gonna race. Do us all a favor and drop the attitude.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot... I read how you said you've been posting your "mod list" for 9 months now. If you really have been posting it for that long then why the hell don't you have it right by now? It should have taken 1 month at the most to come up with a list for this. Hell, I know I've told you several times in your other posts to get rid of certain things on the list. The very next time I would see it, it would still be on there. So here's how I feel about it. If your not gonna take our damn advice when we give it to you, then don't ask about it again and again for 9 months without changing it.

If your mod list is so insane, I wonder what that makes mine. Oh wait I dont waste my money on high end name brands so it doesnt make it insane at all. But for some reason I have people wanting me to put their names on my car cause I make good power and my car looks decent doing it. Man you dont have to have name brand shit to get sponsors. Learn to make power and learn to drive and you'll get sponsors.

And were done with this. I dont care if he's telling the truth or not, what i got from this was is he tried to be civil about the whole thing, and most of you kept egging it on and giving him crap. And a little advice, dont ask for proof and then when he offers to give proof, give him shit about it, it's not in good taste. Whether he's telling the truth or not I dont care, just for the love of god can some of you learn to grow up and not be such whiners about stuff. Oh and MTCS when you do have proof i would like to see it in my pm box.
Thank you and have a nice day.
