Well I don't know where to start so i'ma just start by say'in my name is Jose, but all my friends and fam. know me as Eduardo or Ed. I live here in Northern Va, (Virginia) in Alexandria & Springfield, basicly i live right in the middle of them both. Well this is my second eclipse, My first one was a 99 GS known by the name of Misty, you can read up on her on page 3. My current eclipse is a 98 RS known as Nolee, I named my old one but i let my bestfriend / girlfriend name this one ( I love you baby ~ She knows who she is - but for those that must ask her name is Tanina). I've done all and i do mean all the work on my car on my own because I love working on my car. Ne way'z let me just get started.

Well these pics are recent, this is what i've done, i bought new tires with a lower profile, so now it lowered the car about .25in ~ lol ~ i know it ain't much but damn it made a really nice differance. And also these are after i cleaned her inside out so she looks great ;). I also added Sat. radio ~XM~ which is pretty nice, check page two for that, finally i harded wired my charger too my car, check below, for now only other plans are tint....

These are my custom gauges that i made on my own, seriously. I got some white face gauges from importintelligence and i got thier blue glow needles which are very sexy, check em' out if ur even considering custom guages. As i installed those i noticed how easy it is to change and mess with my instrument panel. So sometime down the road i got bored with them so i did the following, i took out the importintell. white face gauges but in the process i broke the Tachs' blue needle (its really not a blue needle, its just a led that goes under the needle, either way their very sexy, check their site for pics) so it ended up looking funky with one whole gauge out, so i had to remove all the blue needles. While i was at it i decided to try my PhotoShop skills, i took each gauge and scaned it with my scanner, they came out perfect, so i made my own custom white gauges, i added my own little mitsu artwork on tha tach face, in the end i am very proud of what my gauges look like now, i also sanded the red paint on the back of the needles so that i could make my own glowing needles (i'll add those pics later on). I'm a nice guy so if ur interested i can send you the photo shop files for the gauges in .psd format so that you can make, edit or add on to my gauges, just let me know if ur interested.

Close ups of my Tach and speedo guages.
They look a whole lot better than they look in these pics, i printed them on satin glossy paper so it gives them a nice bold and sexy mirror like appearance too themm, trust me i get complements all the time on them.

These are them at night, the picture really do it no justice, they are twice as bright as they appear here. I'll try too figure out how too get better pics out of it.

My stock rims, they got less than 200 miles on them!

janeirouno's 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse janeirouno's 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse
These are my rims, Ace Alloy "Viloas". I like these because:
1.Its very rare to see these rims around, I seriously have yet to see them on any other car
2.They really look good on my car, maybe u can't tell from tha pics but if you saw them in person you would know
Right now they're really f***ing dirty so i'ma put cleaner pics up later. They are 17s' with some random brand of tire on them -no comment-. The tires are sized at 235 17 45. This spring i'm planing too change my tire and "up grade" them to 235 17 40 ~a lower profile!~

janeirouno's 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse

This a good pic of my rim clean and also a close up of my new tires, i did get a lower profile ~45 --> 40~ so it did lower it about .25in, like i said before it ain't much but it makes a sexy differance on her ;)

Well, i finally finished my system... kindof. It turned out that it didn't fit (1/2 to big) so i trimmed it and had it installed and i found out that my subs were 4 ohm subs and not 8ohms like i thougth they were. It is a long story of why i thought that but, my amp can't take a 2 ohm load so now i gotta sell the subs and i am gonna get a 15" kicker. So now i gotta build a 3rd subbox. That will bring my total to 3 totally different sub boxes in around 1 month.

Awesome car. Those rims are cool and same with your system. I never seen two different subs running off one amp.
