JETT GOES SPRAY!!!

I know right!  I can't beleive it either.  I always had this on my wish list and it was something I never thought I'd do, but ONE GREAT DEAL Happened.  Nitrous Oxide for $150... who's gonna pass that up.  So WA-BAM! my baby get's her first bottle!Charuto's 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse

So then what did I do?   Fuck it DRINK NITROUS AND PUT THAT HOE IN THE CAR!!!

Charuto's 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse

A few days later I was gauge shopping and found an Ultra Light (that's the series of Auto Meter gauges I have in my car already) Nitrous Pressure gauge, that would fit in one of my vents; PURCHASE THAT!  I chose the 3rd of the five vents that I have that way driver and passenger will have two gauges each and the thing went in without any trouble.  The hardest thing to do with it was feeding the hose to the gauge honestly.  I put a red light bulb in it and it was perfect.  See it there on the red panel?  Yeah that's the gauge!  Charuto's 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse

SO, on to the bottle.  I wanted to mount the bottle on the back seat hump and thought it would be a piece of cake, but alas the Eclipse has some electrical stuff right there.  After a stroke of genius, I built a "Bottle table" to go over the wiring and mount the bottle brakects to which I was able to hide using the seat cushion.  This allowed me to NOT drill into the car body (what a brain I have!!!).  After an hour or so of cutting out some of the cushion Jett's bottle was in place... SEE!!Charuto's 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse

 and everything was right with the world!!!

(that's NOSie in the back seat!)

OH... i guess you're wondering is the actual system installed.  Not yet :-P  I got some transmission work I have to do or have done before I run spray.  I'd hate to have all that pull and no tranny to make it work.  Better safe than Sorry HA HA!!!  I plan not to run a lot of Nitrous because too much is going to spin me in the turns as I accelerate out.  Just a small 55 shot.  So this project is now on hold.

On to the NEXT PROJECT... RALLY ART SEATS IN A 3G ECLIPSE??? WORD? 

COMING SOON!!!

 Charuto's 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse

WORD!!!

So, like I said... I was going to buy the seats from above and I did!!!  BAM!!!  I also purchased a set of racing harnesses, and the seat brackets.  Well... the seats and harnesses are in the garage... SEE!!!

Charuto's 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse That's them in the garage looking oh so sweet!

However, I'm still waiting on the seat brackets beacuse the new seats won't fint on the OEM brackets.  BLAST!!!  So in the garage they will remain.  Weapon R said that they should be shipped this week: 6/8/09-6/13/09.  So hopefully I'll be riding on leather in the front really really soon.

 SOOOO, in the mean time I did this:

Check out the NEW gauge face (I did this during a slow dayt at work).  I'll take pictures with it on and when it it dark for you guys later.  UM... anybody seen my MPH needle, because I have NO IDEA where it is.  LOL  Who needs to know how fast we're going anyway right?  (nervous laughter)
