I
live in Phoenix, Arizona, USA and am the original owner.
The car really doesn't have any major modifications yet.
Here
is my best 1/4 mile time:
11/02/2001
60':
2.244
330:
6.538
1/8:
10.466 @ 67.8MPH
1/4:
15.839 @ 86.043MPH
I raced at SpeedWorld Raceway in Northwest Phoenix.
The altitude is about 1300' and it was about 65 degrees.




Modifications:
- I
started by switching to Castrol Syntec 5-50 Synthetic oil after
1500 miles.
- Installed
a K & N airfilter, removed extra intake ducting, and enlarged
intake hole.
- Switched
to Mobil 1 0-30 Synthetic oil. This is much better oil.
- Installed
some MB Motoring 15x7 wheels with 195/50 Yokohama tires.
- Cut
the springs to figure out what height I want the car. Looks great.
- Cut
the bump-stops to keep it from bouncing down the road. Rides great.
- Nology
spark plug wires ($150!) I didn't notice $150 worth of improvement...
But they look cool.
- Cut
the fog-light holes open to help cool off the brakes (the brakes
on these cars are way too small.)
- Jet-Hot
coated the stock exhaust manifold and down pipe.
- Added
a custom Pro-Dyno Cat-back exhaust. Nice rumble.
- Swapped
the stock thermostat (180) for a 170 degree. Some shops don't
carry it. I found mine at Autozone. The car no longer looses power
once it is fully warmed up! Additional note: I believe that the
car may be running slightly rich now. This may explain the extra
power.
- Switched
to Nitto 450 Extremes. The Yokohama's were better.
- Ported
out the "hot" coolant elbow, for better flow.
- Installed
a front upper strut-tower bar.
- Removed
the power steering system.
- Custom
cold air intake.
- Jet-Hot
Coated RPW headers
- High-flow
catalytic converter and full 2.25" exhaust system
- Jumptronix
Air/Fuel ratio gauge.
- 2G
Turbo Eclipse MAS
- Unorthidox
Underdrive pulley
- Lightened stock flywheel
- Short-Shifter
- 250hp
Oil-Cooler/Oil-Filter relocator
Non-performance
upgrades:
- Alpine
CD-player, and Infinity 6 1/2 EMITs.
- PIAA
superbright headlight bulbs.
- 20%
tint all around.
- Gotta
have the radar detector!
