I'm guessing it could be something like a lottery or Competition- If so then for gods sake just look around this forums- there is plenty of ideas for tuning an Eclipse

yeah, i "won" a car too.... i went to the mitsu dealership, and saw the silver sypder in the middle of the room... after talking to a salesman for about an hour, i got to just take it home with me and keep it... oh yeah, there was some paperwork i might have forgotten to mention...



but anyway, if you are serious with your question "how do you get your money for a good street racing car? " then i would tell you to buy an old z28.. like a 98.. this would be a good car to get, and even the new z28's are the most HP for your money, but this is a forum for eclipses, not racecars... i don't know about the 2nd gen drivers, but as a 3rd gen owner, i definately did not get my car for the amazing speed that it does not display. i lvoe my car, but it was not the fastest thing on the road when i got it

If he's really a street-racer, perhaps he won it in a race ?

but in that case, why is he asking us for tuning tips - and how did he beat an Eclipse in the firstplace ?

I'm assuming it's an Eclipse, otherwise it's a daft question to ask in here

you can call me stupid too, but expanding on what you said, then i think most of us get our money that we put into our cars by getting things we all call jobs
