Just thought I should introduce myself. My name is Matt and I currently drive a turbo charged 2000 Eclipse GT ( I know I know 3g's suck and are the abomination of Mitsu but I kinda like mine lol). I'll mostly be hanging out in the brakes forum since Evo brakes bolt right up to the 3G. On that note if anyone has a set of rear calipers,rotors,pads,lines, and hardware in good condition for a reasonable price I might be interested as I already have the fronts.

I will however be looking to purchase an Evo within the next couple years so I thought I'd look around first and learn some stuff. I'd like to look for an Evo 7 but I don't know how hard it would be to get one here and get legalized being RHD and all. So probably a used Evo 8 will be more easily acquired.

Anyway, I hope to have a good experience on this board and I hope I'm not bothering anyone by not having an Evo yet or whatever.

Just a question how could the entire rear brake system bolt up to your 3g

 

Welcome.

 

Hi Matt, I just came over from 3G.. Got my 06 MR yesterday. Are you the Matt that was running 13's with your eclipse?

 

No. My car is not currently running right now because the shop I took it to for the turbo install could not get it tuned properly and the car runs like ****. I'm getting ready to take it to another shop to get a Haltech standalone put in so I can drive the car safely.


Apparently the bolt pattern is the same so they line up perfectly. All that needs to be done is either bend or remove the dust shield to provide clearance for the rotors and then the rest just bolts right up. The fronts just bolted right up and I've seen a couple members on club3g with the front and rears on so I know it will work.

 

Welcome, don't let anyone get you down.....Just be yourself and slap some people sometimes.

 

Welcome bro. You ought to join DCEvoClub.com as well. In fact we're having a meet Friday night at Dave & Busters in White Flint Mall near Kensington. I know that's kind of a hike for you, but most of us are coming up from NoVA anyway. I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in your unique setup. Anyway, check out the local club, info for the meet is on the main page, you're more than welcome to join us...

 

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

I'll be sure to check out that site. Once I get my car up and running I plan on going to a lot of meets.
