Vex's "Evo-eclipse" build

Hi everyone, my first car is my 2000 Mitsu Eclipse GS. I've had it for 6 years now and over the time that I've spent upgrading it, it seems like it's turning more and more into an Evo with a body of a coupe.

So far I've upgraded the brakes with the oem brakes from the Evo 8 and I've got wheels on it that were meant to go on an Evo.

As of right now I've just finished rebuilding an engine for it and I am in the process of collecting Evo 8/9 parts for a turbo kit (I'm looking at going with an Evo 8 16G turbo, I think that the Evo 9 is a bit too big to fit in the engine bay without any major modifications).

I know but maybe in the future if I can get more money I can easily convert it to the Evo 8 awd system

I am sure you have heard it all before. I just poking fun. Hope you are not one to get mad about it. As long as you have enjoy driving it then nothing else matters.

Well, it looks like i'm committed now to going with an Evo 8 turbo setup, I got the first part of my eventual turbo build, Megan Racing O2 housing, from a fellow EvoM member (BrendanS)
