ArbyBean's 1996 Mitsubishi EclipseMy 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse. I got this car in 1999 with 36,000 miles on it. It's going to hit 100,000 in 2004. It's not fast, but it's fast enough to be fun. I take it autocrossing, and have fun on curvy backroads.
ArbyBean's 1996 Mitsubishi EclipseThis is my only car, and it's been quite reliable. I've had the car over 5 years, and it only left me stranded once, when the clutch died.
ArbyBean's 1996 Mitsubishi EclipseI love the way it looks now. Clean and not too flashy. The wheels are ADR Lightning 17x7. It has Eibach springs and Tokico struts. I have a camber correction kit, the camber is set at -1? at the front and rear.
ArbyBean's 1996 Mitsubishi EclipseThe wheels are in great shape, I bought them in 2000. I highly reccommend ADR. They were cheap (at $150/each) and the finish has held up great. The only problem is the red text on the center cap faded off. Oh well. ;)
ArbyBean's 1996 Mitsubishi EclipsePicture of me on the autox track. I'm somewhat competitive in my class, but I mostly just go out there to have fun and destroy some tires. Only 140 HP, but I still got some smoke going there. Yay for open differentials.
ArbyBean's 1996 Mitsubishi EclipseNow for the cool part - my touchscreen computer system. It's a 10.4" touchscreen lcd from an old laptop. There's a computer in the trunk running windows2000 and winamp3. It has a 30 GiB laptop hard drive with about 4000 songs on it.
ArbyBean's 1996 Mitsubishi EclipseThe dash is a custom fiberglass job done by me. I cut out everything from the air controls to the shifter and replaced it. Build up pictures are on page two.
ArbyBean's 1996 Mitsubishi EclipseThe comptuer in the trunk. It's a FV24, 900MHz celeron, 128MiB RAM. The case is a custom acrylic box I made myself. I use a soundblaster Extigy for sound. I have two amps, one for the four 5" inside, and one for the two 10" subs.

More computer info on page four!

That LCD looks REAL good! Very nice and clean looking too. I wish I could do something like that in my car.

That's smooth! I owned one but i traded for a 1988 Chevy Nova, not really a great deal if you ask me.
