Just bought my Ride

I will be driving my eclipse home from the dealer tomorrow, I just bought it today. It's the v6 GT. I feel pretty lucky because my eclipse is already equiped with the AEM intake, carbon fiber inverted hood and performance (suppossedly) dual exhaust modifications. I need to pull my sub and amp out from my ol' 4 banger. I'll post pictures later.

Thank-god I must have been dreaming cause I didn't have a dual exhaust after all. Just an upgraded exhaust.

Looks like they jerry rigged tweeters to the front speakers. they put the original Mistu deck back in, it's not bad but it's time to save up for a Rockford Fosgate upgrade. I'm thinking 2 12" Subs in the back since they tore out the panel behind the back seats so now I can't mount anything without a custom fit.

Who the F*** cracks a carbon fiber hood by removing winshield washer LED's that are cheap as hell!!!????? I'd like to beat the SH*T outta that crack head!

Oh yeah, looks like my car is lowered with some cheap ass red struts and springs that rattle over bumps. Damn, gotta upgrade that too now.

You can also tell that the previous owner tried to remove the mid panel cosmetics he added but in doing so kinda messed it up. But I'll be redoing it anyway so that's minor.

Other than these problems, the car is fast and fun as hell to ride. Engine is clean and powerfull. The intake is an Injen, I was wrong thinking it was an AEM. Either way, looks like a professional install with the MAF and running the filter down under the bumper. That's the correct way to do it. Least they didn't fu*k that up!

Re: Just bought my Ride

those cheap ass red struts might be KYB AGXs. which is a great company, but if they are not installed correctly, then its gonna be a rough ride
