Hi Mike (furikuri) here and I've been lurking these forums for awhile now and figured I would post my ride. Unfortunately my 2003 GS was totaled and I lost most of my work that i put into it but stuff happens and I got a 2001 GT now.

I'm sorry to hear about your GS and I'm glad you weren't seriously hurt, that sounds like a bad accident. The GT looks good (I would say clean but it's really dirty haha). Clean it up and take some new pics when you get a chance. I'm sure you'll have it looking like your GS (or better) real soon.
They are stock evo9 wheels. I picked them up for $300 last fall. Currently using as winter wheels cause the person before me spray canned them. thinking about cleaning them up and having them powder coated this summer.
Nah, I gave the 03 up since at the time I needed a car asap so I had to take money from the insurance company to buy another. I would have rather had the car sit until spring and fix it. I took the stereo system out, swapped springs out, and swapped the wheels out. Those are all going on the GT.
Love the evo 9 wheels! Ive tried to find them for myself but lowest price i found was 600 lol. Are they on your newer 3g? or do you have plans to put them on?

I too had to cut my little shifter linkage bushing out - it was completely seized on there. The big one popped right off.
A word of advice because I have the exact same exhaust - make sure you wash under your car really well after driving in the rain or salt/snow. The eBay ad states it's stainless, and maybe it is, but it's a very shitty percentage or weak alloy of "stainless". Mine is rusted at the seams on the muffler and along the bottom facing the road surfaces.
Thanks for the tip. Hopefully the exhaust doesn't see another winter with snow. I had the car lifted up today and noticed that there was some rust spots on it already. haha oh well only $125
I hear ya haha. That's why I wasn't too bummed about it, it's only $125 for a 3" exhaust; but that also means you know it must be low quality. Nevertheless, I absolutely love it and I think it sounds just as good if not better than a lot of friends' Apexis and Invidias.
By the way, what is your Avatar from? I keep seeing her everywhere. Tryin' to hit that. :lol::lol::lol:
Love the evo 9 wheels. If I could get rid of my 8's and find a decent set of those for a good price, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Clean car, my only suggestion would be to get rid of the headlights. They are probably the worst ones available for the 3g. Go with Sonars or Depos. I like! Keep it tasteful :yesway:
I plan to powder coat them either bronze or black. And yeah I already sold the headlights, took a lost but oh well. I have the sonars from the last eclipse but they have broken tabs so I'll prolly just fab some tabs on them and put them on.
Been thinking about putting a new clutch and flywheel in. I'm going to be getting a fidanza flywheel. Now I don't plan on doing a bunch of power upgrades so should I go with a Exedy Stage 1 Organic clutch or just get the Exedy OEM replacement clutch?
