This is my 2001 RS-Turbo. I wasn’t going to make this thread until the car was finished to where I want it but if that is to be the case then I would never be ready. So nevertheless, here she is. I bought it back in early 2010 with 82k on the clock. I have always wanted a third gen Eclipse since they came out when I was ten years old, but after getting one I was disappointed in the “performance” of the stock machine. Now I’m stuck playing this modding game. Here is how she sits now, and instead of making build threads in the very near future, I plan to document and chronicle everything in this Member’s Ride thread.

And just for shits here are some videos. No they don't show its true potential but that isn't the point. I love the sound of my 3G.
I'm terrible at taking pictures and that is a skill I'd like to polish. I'll post up some pictures of the progress that has been made to get it to where it is today. Stay tuned for the near future :ninja2:
