<![CDATA[noob]]>Hey everyone, my name's Kyle. I am 20 and a junior at NDSU. I transferred here after doing my freshman year at at Rigewater in Willmar, MN. I drive a 2000 eclipse gs. I wanted a gt, but it didn't really work out, and it's also a sportronic automatic which is even worse, but hey, I still like it. It's not fast and I don't claim it to be fast.

I've pretty much decided I'm keeping it untill I get out of college though, so I'm doing what I can with it. When I got it didn't have anything for performance parts and had wheels on it that looked like big chrome flowers, and had chrome altezzas. It now has a K%N short ram intake, CMF header, Magnaflow Exhaust, 17 inch black Motegi DP-12's, Black TYC tail lights, and blacked out corner lenses.

With just simple I/H/E the acceleration is still pathetic and depressing, so I'm currently collecting parts for a turbo set up that should be pretty nice. It's gonna be based off of a turbo and mani from and evo VIII, evo fpr, fuel rail, and WRX injectors. Should be a fun little project. Then I'm hoping to add a higher stall torque converter so it's not such a snail off the line.

Reading around on my 3g eclipse forums it seems that the I4 responds alot better to boost, so that's one good thing about having an I4 I guess......

I've been a member on eclipseforums.org now for about 2 years and kinda know how forums work and what is going to get you flamed, most of the time that is. I love cars and have been obsessed with them since I was probably 13 or 14. All cars, imports, domestics, exotics, I4, V6, V8, whatever. I can recognize hard work and a nice car. I'm really into performance, but haver never really owned a nice, fast car, the nicest cars I've driven have all been friends cars.

I kinda stubled about this site and thought it was a pretty cool place to find out what was going on in the area and meet and talk to other car guys around here.

Well, that was a nice little essay. Now for some pics of my car. It needs a couple things, a drop, tint, and a wings west lip kit are planned for the future...

They're lacking in the power department, they can be made pretty respectible with some money and time though. Not like seriously fast or anything, but respectible. The fastest one I've seen ran a 12.6 with a .50 trim turbo on 20psi. Which is pretty bad for that to be the fastest one i've seen haha. The guy recently switched to a gt35 though and is running the same times with 17-18psi on a completely stock motor and is planning on running 20 on pump gas and 35 on race gas on a built motor, but we'll see.

Not many people mod em, so theres not that much aftermarket support and what not for em. They pretty much need boost though haha. Hopefully I'll be turboed by next year.

ouch dude that sucks... damn i never realized the gs was so "stock" with drums lol... the evo brake swap is really nice and pretty cheap for what its doing..

as far as the turbo set-up goes, yes there is a little modifying but there's actually not as much as you'd think, its a good set-up and made success full by many 3gers

GL

Dude, whats so bad about drum brakes? if you aren't road racing or auto x ing and need the cooling factor of discs, they work just as good. I have a feeling he would be doing it only for the looks since he'sgot wheels. drum brakses aren't as bad as everyone says...
