Welcome to my website. I will hopefully keep this page up to date with the progress of my cars modifications.
My car is actually a 2002 626 Eclipse but im modelling it after the 626 MPS that was only shown at the Geneva Motorshow in 2000.
It was running a 2.5ltr Twin Turbo AWD. Would have been insane!!!!
Mazda never went ahead with this line as they were beginning to introduce the Mazda6 and then the Madza6 MPS soonafter. So the 626MPS concept got the flick.
So the chassis' and goodies they set aside for this project they put into the limited edition 626 Eclipse (named the Eclipse as it was supposed to "eclipse" all other 626 models).
The Eclipse is powered by a refined 2.0-litre 16-valve engine rated at 93kw. It has extra goodies that sets it apart from the top of the line model, like:
* Leather sports steering wheel out of a MX5
* Carbon-Fibre trimming
* Sports seats
* Sports Grille
* Body coloured trimming
* Black style headlights and front indicators
* Crystal style tail lights
This is my car, not as aggressive as the MPS, but still pretty nice with potential :-)
Below is the latest pic of my car. Notice the brakes.....red makes the car stop faster!!!!!
This is my car at the Miners View lookout near the Loy Yang Power Station.
This is my car at the site of the Janurary 2006 Moondarra fires.
I have a dual Pioneer Carbon fibre series sub setup in my boot (pics soon). During a SPL comp these reached 135.4db. I wouldve easily gone higher however my stock headunit kept skipping with the vibrations. Got a good reaction from the audience but didnt reach the target I was aiming for. :-(
I would like to add larger wheels and upgrade the intake and exhaust systems however my MG Magnette will be coming first. One day I will add a bodykit like the one above. I will stick to passive mods for the moment :-) Click the link below for my Magnette page:
