Car looks great, better than what it did. I have a 2000 GS I'm thinking about boosting, I almost did during the summer but the car started giving me issues, so I sold everything.
Wish you luck in the build!

Drewski0523

Thanks a lot man.

Drewski0523

Thanks. I'm working on it. My brembo's are almost finished up at the powder coat shop. Over the next few weeks I'm replacing all the suspension bushings with a cross of dorman OEM replacements, energy suspension and prothane parts.

Turbo build is going along great, just a few parts left to get, and already found the trans and parts for the swap with 33k on it.

I had a 2001 eclipse gt. I still like them with a wings west lip kit. Good luck and welcome

Drewski0523

Thanks. I like the WW kit more, but I got the side skirts and rear lip of this shine street kit in 2009, before I really knew anything about this car. However I am happy with the way the SS kit turned out.

Drewski0523

Had my 2005 Evo VIII Brembo's recoated at a friends shop, modded a set of gt 3G eclipse backplates for a drum to disk swap and a new set of gt eclipse ss Goodrich brake lines.

Looking good, I was going to boost my 2g strat coupe but I ended up having to use my tuning cash to fix my house. Good luck with it and not to thread jack but I have an Evo 8 ECU and a 5spd 3G ECU for sale that you are gonna need to run the turbo. If you don't already have one, let me know and maybe we can work something out with them.

Drewski0523

Thanks man, but I already have an Evo 8 ECU

Finally, Some Pics of how my car stands today. I washed it again as it was beautiful day.



New alloy fuel door, and strong arm gas tubes for the rear hatch









AEM CAI swapped to short ram with new dryflow filter



New SS bolts under the hood, so much better than the rusted corroded ones











nice view of the Brembo's, front lip and drop

Good job, it looks great. I like the stainless steel bolts, nice touch.

Drewski0523

Thanks man, I needed those bolts. I must have broke 4 or 5 rusted ones in the process. Thank God for high powered drills and metal bits

Drewski0523

I went to a 3G Eclipse meet in Baltimore yesterday, here are some pics of my car my friend took:

I noticed that you have Brembo's, what are they from initially ?
What other parts did you need to fit them ?
