The more I thought about it though, I think it could be pretty sweet if done right. If you put some serious time and $$ into your car (I'm thinking it will take about 10-15k to do it right) and built yourself an 11 second eclipse that had all the looks of the F&F eclipse, that would be awesome. It would be a great show car and nobody would expect the car to be actually fast.

If the F&F eclipse pulled up next to me, I'd laugh and immediately try racing it. If I lost to it...major kudos.

That said...I have no idea what they put into that car. I'd say you go with mod the exterior and interior according to what you can see in the movie, and build the engine disregarding F&F stuff. Just dress up the engine bay when you are done. I'm on board for helping however I can.

I agree...but ditch the metal racing wing, that is just crappy...at the very least get the turbo spoiler (unless your gsx is a 97-99 and you already have it.)

Yeah dude, if you go through with this remake, expect shit. The bottom line is you will get lots of crap from lots of people.

www.slowboyracing.com, www.ebaymotors.com, and www.dsmtuners.com/classifieds, are my favorite places to get parts. Shop around, you can find some really good deals buying used if you are willing.

It used to be a candy bar at one point. It's a synonym for respect or "street credit."

1995 Eclipse GS
Se7en 18 inch wheels by Axis Sport Tuning Inc.
225/40zR18 Toyo Tires
Robo Car Aero Armor Eclipse kit (consisting of front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper)
Custom made carbon fiber front splitter
Cust GT style roof scoop
ARP two level GT2 style wing
Carbon fiber race mirrors
shaved door handles
1997 spec Eclipse headlights
Streetglow gold series underglow (green)
Greddy Exhaust (doesn't specify which one)
Stillen slotted rear discs
NOS (doesn't specify which kit)

It says in here that its a 4g63T but we all know that we found out otherwise... Clipsekid, do you still have that picture of the motor you brightened up?

It says here that there were no suspension mods and the motor was stock... But yet they claimed oh so many things to be on that motor in the movie... Typical ricer talk. lol

Thats all it says... Kinda gay if you ask me. lol

Whatever book you got that from is all wrong. First, the car didn't have a front splitter, the rear discs were fake, it had a 420a, and it didn't have shaved handles.

[EDMUND65]

Fight Fight Fight!

[blk_srt]

just like 90% of movie cars, it was fake, bottom line. If you want something to critize, how about the v6 n/a 3g spyder in 2f2f with a boost gauge and a bov

[scottsee]

Just remeber one thing...... I don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's Winning!!! Ask any REAL streat racer.

Oh yeah. When your car tops out at 140, you'll need two big ones! Because it really don't have anything to do with your gear box.

[scottsee]

I think I'm going to go watch that movie upstairs tonight! Havn't seen it in a couple months.

[blk_srt]

lol, I was thinking the same thing

Take it up with Eddie Paul, the writer of the book. lol

Lose the zero, get with a hero.




I'll say it for everyone else since no one wants to be direct with it. PLEASE don't go fucking up the best model Eclipse EVER by disgracing it with every mod from that movie. If you want to do that so bad I'll trade you my RS and the you can really make it exactly like the movie's car. Just don't go gaying up a poor innocent GSX, it did nothing to deserve it

Actually, the eclipse had a t-4 turbo. The three t-66 turbos were what Hector order to go on his three civics along with spoon engines, nos, and a motec system exhaust. Just thought I'd clear that up for anyone that cares. lol.

What does Eddie Paul know? He isn't anyone.
