awh such a beautiful car

Post by EscapingFate »

I saw this vid awhile back now and i love it...
I love how he transforms a wrecked eclipse into a truely beautiful car for only 2500$... i wish my stuff could be that cheap haha...

On a second note... what colour is that green im wanting it for my FTO when i get my bumper, skirts and bonnet so i can spray it that colour. Is it just a general green? or a neon green?

They are only LHD and it's a bitch to get it compiled etc. over here so no one bothers.

I've always had a soft spot for the Eclipse and I would have one if they weren't so expensive / hard to comply.

Can't believe they used drum brake rears.
But then again they were based off CC Lancers...

They are a nicely styled car though, and yes, I have a soft spot for Brians Eclipse.

Styling wise, it's actually nicely done up. The decals are a bit over the top but 99% of people don't know how to do up a Japanese car anyway. (hence all the Veilside bodykits :P)

THIS is a ricer:

Not worth it.
Those autos aren't tip tronic, and then you'd have the headaches of manual conversion, etc.
PLUS, I think that is the rear drum model given it's the basic kit.

only model worth getting is the.... GS-T/ GSX

Saves hassle for turbo conversion which would be harder to re-comply.

Edit: actually that is a GS, so rear disc and 4G63 motor but non turbo.
Still horrible auto though
