Manual swap and 16g build parts collections are complete :woot:



Here is where everything hibernates till I finally have time to put it all in. It sucks that after a year of collecting I finally have everything but don't have time

Here are the parts for the trans swap:



I4 Manual trans with under 40k miles and a Quaiffe LSD with under 8k on it (3k with this trans). Rust is minimal and yes it is grimy but nothing a bit of engine degreaser won't fix. Am contemplating a fresh coat of high heat silver before I install it.



OEM Flywheel and ACT Street Disk Clutch with 3k miles



Brake and Clutch pedals with pigtails and OEM manual trans mount (will have a prothane insert when the time comes)



Clutch fluid resivior, clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder and all fluid lines (I plan on using redline clutch fluid)





Shifter base with Megan Racing Short Shifter and ES Shifter Base Bushings, and Shifter cables with Speed Source brass shifter bushings

Not pictured are the Evo 8 ECU to be reflashed with Tephra's or TX4Codeman's 2003+ Manual I4 ROM and the manual 03+ guage cluster

Finally here are up-to-date pics of my 16g build parts:



I will be using the Megan header, with the 10.5 Evo 9 hotside on the left and the no shaft play, already ground compressor on the right, Megan o2 housing and 2 1/2" spacers

Hmm.
Yup. It's looking good, coming together on here too

Drewski0523

Thanks bud. It's nice to see you over here too

staztrx250

looks good not a 3g fan

Drewski0523

Thanks man, but to each their own. I love the car and have since I was a kid. I'm working to make it more unique than other 3G's but I love the body styling. My plans are to convert it to AWD with a boosted 4g63 head on the 2.4L bottom end. It has potential to be a badass car when done

Darkside3G

NIce!!im also bulding my 3G after 4 years, im going 6g75 though,!! hope you can make it to MOD in south jersey this yea,,,

Drewski0523

Thanks man. I have plans to make it to MOD so we will see.

I really like your front bumper/grille arrangement you've got going. I've never been a huge fan of the Eclipse simply because of the round styling, but this bumper makes it look sharp.

Drewski0523

Thanks, I really like the way the lip kit and grille turned out. I actually just bought a replacement SS lip kit to replace this one which is about 4 years old. Plus someone in my works garage hit the passenger side of the front lip and ripped it off.

Spyder03

how do you learn so much about cars?! This looks awesome!!! Im a few days away from my first car, a used GS Spyder 03 and my license test is on this monday. I want so badly to make the engine last longer or be comfortable and knowledgeable enough to fix/mod/upgrade whatever i want in my car! I no nothing of being a mechanic though... Ive build like 4 desktop computers, taken apart and repaired smartphones... my forte is computer hardware tech... this car im getting is basically my dream car since i was 9 and saw it on grand turismo. now that i have it i want it to be clean inside and make it as custom and mine as possible! Your car looks simply amazing!! I will start a new thread somewhere so that I might get pointers, you really know ALOT!!
