I purchased this 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT March 21st of 2008, so I haven't really had it long! Plus I have to work to pay for the car, insurance (which is a b!tch), mods, and the rest of my bills (including house note because I dont live with my parents) by myself so it may take me a while to get it just the way I want it. I hope to someday have it to showoff of the week status  ;)   


Clip of my baby with the windows up and just HKS exhaust installed, Let me know what u think please!!!

Oh yea, sorry if I havent got back to you here lately, but I've been kinda moving around a lil bit and without internet so be patient!

 

 

 

Current Mods:

 

20 x 8.5 " Diamo chrome and gloss black rims

Falken FK-452 Z-rated tires

HKS axle-back exhaust with polished muffler

Bosch Platinum IR Fusion spark plugs

Hawk HPS brake pads front and rear

Front Power Slot cryogenic rotors

Rear plain cryogenic rotors painted black

2 - 12" Audiobahn AW1206T chrome flame subwoofers - can handle
1000 watts RMS each!

Audiobahn matching flame chrome grills

Hifonics Titan 1500 watt RMS class-d amp - Model TX1505D

Power Acoustik blue neon capacitor 1.5 farad - Lights still dim with the bass, gonna get Optima battery and possibly bigger capacitor

5% tint in the back, 35% in the front

Day time running lights (DRLs) disabled - Click for instructions on how to do this to your 4g Eclipse from club4g.org - It's really easy to do and easily reversible!

 


I do most of the work on my car myself also because I believe it kinda means more and its just fun u know?  Please dont forget to rate me, thanks!!

During rotor and pad install, I was nervous with my car up that high!

Spark Plug Install (9-1-08):

I was bored so I decided to upgrade my spark plugs today.  My car only has 25,000 miles on it but I wanted to start fresh by intstalling Bosch Platinum IR Fusion spark plugs.  They have 4 spark prongs instead of just 1 like normal plugs.  I can tell a difference because the engine sounds better now and I can tell I must have gained at least some horsepower.  Let me know if u are planning on doing this to your Eclipse GT and need help!

Engine cover is first to come off

Changing the front 3 plugs

Disconnected intake hose then removed throttle body

This was the hardest part, getting behind the engine to remove 2 nuts and 3 bolts

Almost ready to come off, what a pain to do all this just to change the plugs!

Be careful not to drop anything into those holes, that would suck!!

Just ordered a JL Audio Clean Sweep to install my bump (A pair of 12" Audiobahn Flame Q 1000 Watts RMS each subwoofers an Hifonics amp putting out 1500 watts RMS) into my factory system cuz it already has a 6-disc Rockford Fosgate MP3 Changer and I like the steering wheel controls :)

Thinking about this hood in carbon fiber for my next mod, let me know what u think please!!
