not bad i can dig it

Drewski0523 · 09/08/2011, 09:48 PM

looks nice man

18027 · 09/08/2011, 09:56 PM

Moar Pics!!!!

Did you buy it already modded? Or have you been piecing them together and building it yourself?

edit: Didn't see that dc sticker at first. That needs to go. I'd also remove that license plate cover....It just gives the cops a reason to pull you over and check you and your shit out.

Corey16 · 09/08/2011, 10:03 PM

Not too bad, I like it. It seems nice and clean.

drunkoffjuic · 09/08/2011, 10:04 PM

Very nice!

More Pic please

tracer9191 · 09/08/2011, 10:04 PM

Bought it from a friend like this then added the fog housings and the HID's in them. Need new engine mounts so probably Prothane's. I want to do other things like get new coil-overs for the front, maybe a lip?

Oh and another pic! Got a few more too...

Mattt · 09/08/2011, 10:07 PM

wow

beautiful car. not feeling the DC sticker but eveything else is good!

finesse49ers · 09/08/2011, 10:16 PM

I agree with all the comments above, this is a very nice 3G. What is the name of this color you painted the car to?

tracer9191 · 09/08/2011, 10:22 PM

The car is the original burgandy that came stock. The car has everything tinted and then was wrapped in vinyl over the hood, roof, trunk and spoiler. It looks different than any other 3g I've seen. Only problem, 2 weeks after I got the car, an employee kee'd the hood. still don't know who it was...

That's Ultra Red Pearl? Wow, I forgot about that color, almost looks brown sort of. You have it looking good.

tracer9191 · 09/08/2011, 11:00 PM

finesse49ers · 09/08/2011, 11:16 PM

^^^^^^^^^^

Now it looks like Ultra Red Pearl

.

rsingh12 · 09/08/2011, 11:26 PM

wow car is really clean and nice man keep it up and welcome

KidKobe210 · 09/08/2011, 11:33 PM

Looks great man. Good job

Blacked0ut3G · 09/09/2011, 12:22 AM

Ive, never seen such a red like that!!! It looks Awesome!!!!

patriotred01 · 09/09/2011, 12:13 PM

Very nice. How is the vinyl holding up? It makes me wish mine was Ultra Red Pearl.

Chad · 09/09/2011, 12:20 PM

Simple and clean. Very nice.

errol12061 · 09/09/2011, 01:09 PM

i would hit it if i was a car

ccarrillo717 · 09/09/2011, 01:59 PM

A 2011 with a beautiful car! Some un-edited pictures would be nice as well

tracer9191 · 09/09/2011, 04:14 PM

The vinayl is holding up alright but I may eventually get it redone. I get bird droppings off as soon as I see them but even with this effort, it still leaves small marks. These pictures were all shot in raw mode and then edited in HDR mode in the editing software. I simply makes shots look beautiful. DC sticker will be coming off next.

I may be opening a can of worms, but any suggestions on performance mods that are sub $1K?

$1,000? A tune along with a pretty much useless aftermarket intake.

Oh, I see you already have one of those.

wright06jhs · 09/09/2011, 04:51 PM

Wow, very nice car.

iMonster · 09/09/2011, 05:03 PM

headers are a good option, something like RPW or something along those lines, stay away from megans, i have megans and all i have done is fight them.

rsingh12 · 09/09/2011, 05:11 PM

lets get some pics of underneath the hood

grfft3r · 09/09/2011, 07:18 PM

Nice car man. From pic angles I thought it was already lowered with the 18s.

. That sucks about the employee that keyed your car, it's funny how jealous people will react. Take care of it!!

Well right now it is lowered with the 18" filling out the rest of the wheel wells. Right now its on Tein Basics in the back and stock shocks and lowering springs in front. I have the front set but one of them looks like it came off a car that was in some sort of an accident as its pretty bent up. I might end up getting some dampening coil-overs or something for the front.

Oh and the last photo from this shoot....

Westm1121 · 09/09/2011, 09:23 PM

looks really nice, I like the rims

Drewski0523 · 09/09/2011, 09:34 PM

You want to replace those stock struts ASAP. They were not designed to handle the lowering springs and will cause other things to wear and go bad.

Besides that for <1k there is nothing "performance" you can really do. All the bolt ons for this car are for show and sound really.

As soon as I can find a decent affordable set for the front I will put them in. I'm sure it has to do with needing new motor mounts as they are not meant to handle all the bouncing I get now.

So besides engine swaps turbo charging it, what other performance things would help? And I know I will have to spend more than 1K on them.

Drewski0523 · 09/09/2011, 10:00 PM

For performance, speed and power your looking at engine swaps and FI, not much else

For handling, you need to lower the car properly, there are plenty of threads on the recommended lowering spring/strut combos out there, and plenty of threads on rear sway bar/endlinks, rear strut bar and motor mounts

chavezeclipse · 09/09/2011, 10:05 PM

there's cams but they are expensive. Maybe brakes, you got evo brembos or at the least diamante calipers for the front. good set of headers is kind of worth it (really it's mainly the cats that clog it up). If you do exhaust don't expect gains, just sound. You could do a rear sway bar fro handling or a rear strut bar.

04MOJOGT · 09/09/2011, 10:06 PM

Good looking 3g. Love everything about it.

Oh sorry, I did see Tein Basics on your mod list. I just didn't know what it was

Maybe get a black front grille. I think it'll flow with the theme.

Just got the silver one from grillcraft it's actually a solid sturdy piece and fits great. I would recommend that in the 5 piece kit from carid.com. They had a great price for it

rsingh12 · 09/09/2011, 11:50 PM

With the grand you have I would just buy new coils for the car and then spend the rest on maintenance. D2 and Megans are the most common ones for the car and a lot of reviews have been made for these.

tracer9191 · 10/03/2011, 11:20 AM

Just emailed Tein about the bad coilover and to get a quote on the price of a new coilover. HAHA WHAT A JOKE. They told me that a new front coilover for the 04 eclipse would be $410. They do offer a maintenance service which is $75 to replace seals and everything plus the cost of repair to the dampener. I guess that is what I'll go with as I would like to keep it Tein.

(Oh, and just got finished with another photo shoot so more pics will be up soon)

thahnic1080 · 10/03/2011, 11:47 AM

teins finest lol how did that happen

DAT_3G · 10/03/2011, 12:01 PM

It's weird because I always think to myself that there are hardly any 04's out there because I never really come across any. 04's and 05's seem kind of rare, maybe 3G sales were down during the last two years of production.

Nice ride though.

What are you talking about? There are plenty of 04-05's out there. Just because you don't come across that specific year model around the area where you live doesn't mean that there isn't a lot out there.

Now you see why Tein has a bad rep on this platform.

Secret powers

DAT_3G · 10/03/2011, 04:39 PM

I have a 6th sense when it comes to Eclipse model years.

Nah but seriously what I meant was on these forums I don't see a lot of 04's and 05's, but it's probably just because I'm new here, Also, occasionally I'll do a Craigslist or Autotrader search for 3G's just to see what's out there, and I hardly ever see anything higher than 03's. But maybe it's just my area or maybe people are still holding on to their 04's and 05's.

UnderIllusion · 10/03/2011, 05:09 PM

Damn, very nice looking car! I love this color!!! I would love that same color on my Z

iowa_gts · 10/13/2011, 12:49 AM

There is my little baby, trace I hope your taking care of her

love what you have done to it bro!

That would be because you DID see it. I make the trip from Cedar Rapids to Ames every two weeks about to see the GF. On another note got a few more pics of her around town.

Must go lower!

And this last one is just edited. Looks kinda weird but cool at the same time...

New parts on the car:
-After dealing with super annoying squeaking and other noises from the engine bay, I have Prothane mounts on the way for this baby!

-Headlights are now 35w 6000k HID's (I like 'em better IMO)

-Interior lighting has been replaced with LED's
-Reading lamps now cool white
-Guages and clock pod red
-Need to install HVAC red LED's still

(Sorry for the crappy pics but taken from my phone, Also, I am getting a counter weighted shift knob but since an Acura type knob doesn't fit, I need to get one off the internet. So the cheap light up one will do till then)

wolf0491 · 10/21/2011, 12:33 AM

love this eclipse though ;]

Yoder · 10/21/2011, 09:27 AM

Very nice car, I wish my 04 GTS came with that kind of a paint job on it. Instead I got the black and it soon got cancer...

04blueEclipse · 10/21/2011, 09:41 AM

Hey it's nice to see a fellow Iowan on here

I like your ride!

Drewski0523 · 10/21/2011, 09:55 AM

Nice. I like the red LEDs and am thinking of doing the same. Also have prothanes that I'm putting in soon.

rsingh12 · 10/21/2011, 10:42 AM

Beautiful car sir. May I suggest wrapping the fog lights in yellow film, so that it will look really good when the lights are off and also it will give the light output a more yellow color. To me the 3000k look really golden.
This is what the fogs would look like with the yellow film (look at the maxima in the middle)

Fritz · 10/21/2011, 10:59 AM

Car looks real nice man

just wondering are your brakes painted red? or are they powder coated candy red? I would love to have my brakes match the color of our car but dont want to have it a bright red.

I think I will end up putting some laminex over them to make them a little more yellow. My friend has laminex over his fogs in his IS300 and it looks pretty good

I believe that the calipers are just a high temp red brake caliper paint that can be had at any Autozone or car part store. I will have to check to make sure as it was iowa_GTS that painted them

rsingh12 · 10/21/2011, 09:41 PM

Yeah they look great when the fogs are off too and the yellow would compliment your car very nicely

tracer9191 · 10/26/2011, 02:47 PM

Well apparently I have a friend at my local community college. He/she likes to park right beside me and from across the lot it looks like my car has gone missing....dick

Maybe brakes, you got evo brembos or at the least diamante calipers for the front. good set of headers is kind of worth it (really it's mainly the cats that clog it up). If you do exhaust don't expect gains, just sound. You could do a rear sway bar fro handling or a rear strut bar. __________________ charles whitney aka chuck nasty 2001 eclipse gt: hybrid clutch quiafe lsd custom 3" intake halo projectors evo enkei 17" rims 245/40 g-max 6g74 swap w/UIM/TB tein s tech kyb agx cmf headers poly mounts evo brakes UCS tune custom 2.5" exhaust csf 2 row radiator rear strut bar battery relocated to trunk 22mm rear sway bar ss brake lines nice sound system

D2 and Megans are the most common ones for the car and a lot of reviews have been made for these. __________________

HAHA WHAT A JOKE. They told me that a new front coilover for the 04 eclipse would be $410. They do offer a maintenance service which is $75 to replace seals and everything plus the cost of repair to the dampener. I guess that is what I'll go with as I would like to keep it Tein. (Oh, and just got finished with another photo shoot so more pics will be up soon)

Nah but seriously what I meant was on these forums I don't see a lot of 04's and 05's, but it's probably just because I'm new here, Also, occasionally I'll do a Craigslist or Autotrader search for 3G's just to see what's out there, and I hardly ever see anything higher than 03's. But maybe it's just my area or maybe people are still holding on to their 04's and 05's.
