Car looks very clean, looks like previous owner took great care of it, any interor pictures and under thehood? Also why do you say motor and tranny have 15k? Do you know why they were replaced?

Nerdbird · 11/24/2012, 05:12 PM

Looks like it's in really good shape. but please tell me you are going to take that fugly licence plate frame off.

NateDawg · 11/24/2012, 05:21 PM

Very nice pick up.

And it is cali spec (all 03-05's are cali spec).

ccarrillo717 · 11/24/2012, 05:23 PM

Is your name from The Rug Rats

BassDrop · 11/24/2012, 05:29 PM

Real clean dude. Nice future mod list too. Can't wait to see progress.

Reptar · 11/26/2012, 07:51 PM

bishi- previous owner said that was about how much they had on them, i'm not positive but i want to say he blew something but thats not very specific

... i also want to say that a lot of the mileage on the new engine/tranny is from him driving from ny to cali then back, i dont think he drove it around too much recently and it hasnt seen any winters. yet.
nerdbird- eh, it amuses me. but yeah eventually that and the rest of the hideous black license plate holder thing are going to die
nate- thankyou .. and thats what i thought but i wasnt positive x)
carrillo- go through a webby song first but yeah you could say that
bassdrop- thanks !

Reptar · 11/26/2012, 07:56 PM

annnd some wonderful iphone pictures of my interior .. i apologize for the shitty lighting. ill put up some engine pics later when its nicer out.

yes, my shifter is covered in rhinestones .. girly girl over here .

thahnic1080 · 11/26/2012, 08:22 PM

For some reason i was expecting a green 3g haha.... You have a GST??

Interior looks good. What audio upgrades do you have in the works right now?

Also check out Treehead's ride. I would have to say its the cleanest white 3g on the site and he has some things you are looking at doing in the future. Pearl Pony the White 3G

Reptar · 12/04/2012, 05:50 PM

Thahnic- lmao I could see why you would think that, but I actually hate green .. And yeah it was the only one with <100k+ miles on it on Craigslist from Buffallo to albany, hence I had to drive two hours/ 220 miles to even see it. I've heard they're not rare though? It just seems like no one wants to sell them if that's the case.

Nate- I checked out treehead's and it is very nice looking ^-^ and I ordered pioneers to replace all the factory speakers and got a sub, I still need to make a corner box though. Either that or my friend whose helping me wants to integrate it into the thingy (excuse my lack of proper terms) that covers the trunk on the inside.

I did a fiberglass corner enclosure for mine. It was pretty easy. mine came out a little rough but it's nice. I'd recommend you do that.

Are you talking about integrating it into the floor or the plastic panels?

My friend was wondering about putting it in that removable thing that sits behind the rear seats that kindof separates the trunk from the rest of the car? so not really the floor or pannels lol. idk how to describe it >< personally i would rather make like a fiberglass corner box for it, ive seen the how to for that on here. which, hopefully, won't turn out to be too hard. I'm just putting the 6x9s and 6 3/4s into the original spots.

The cargo tray? There's no way that would work. A sub is too heavy to be supported by that. Subs have to be enclosed in a box unless it's a free air sub which sound absolutely awful.

Fiberglass boxes are actually pretty easy if you have patience.

Red Sun · 12/04/2012, 06:13 PM

Very clean stocker you got there missy, I love that color too.

Probably the first time I've seen someone use "him" to refer to their 3G

It's the 21st century man. Might not be a missy.

Or maybe it's finally time to admit we all drive chick cars here,

thats what i was thinking, its already knocked loose thanks to me stuffing my car full of idiots ._. im actually rather creative and good at geometry so itll probably go okay with getting the right volume and making it and such

haha well id feel weird referring to my car as the same gender as myself

and thankyou, i cant decide if i want to keep it white or get it painted/wrapped black..

BassDrop · 12/04/2012, 06:29 PM

Just research it a lot. I used a 12" sub and it called for a little over a cubic foot of airspace.

EvolFilms · 12/04/2012, 06:45 PM

I'm pretty sure T was referring to the fact that you put 03 GST (as in GS-Turbo) as your vehicle under your avatar instead of GTS.

Nice.

I hope you are also getting a decent aftermarket headunit also. It will make the sub install a lot easier and sound better.

Nice

Reminds me of my GTS when I first got it

rsingh12 · 12/05/2012, 09:07 AM

Nate, I ran out of rice

Nerdbird, I do like rice krispies (I can't say krispies in person

)

Reptar · 12/08/2012, 03:39 PM

nate- i didnt even realize that i put gst down instead of gts xD

Reptar · 12/22/2012, 06:43 PM

haven't been on in a while, but this particularly amused me so i had to post it ..
finally got a fair amount of snow (white christmas yay) and i decided to go mess around in it, not having really driven in snow before..

and right behind where i was drifting / doing doughnuts someone managed to crash their car into a ditch. i found it rather ironic

Reptar · 01/21/2013, 11:08 AM

finally got some brake upgrades! drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads

painted 'em black

and now i just have to wait for the weather to warm up to figure out what im going to do with my nasty looking calipers

ThaCrow · 01/21/2013, 11:30 AM

Those are some sexy ass rotors. Sweet. Cool name btw - Reptar! lol bad ass...rugrats

MrJvcksxn · 01/21/2013, 03:34 PM

Pictured reptar driving something with a bit more head room.. Car looks clean though.

Whats coming after the rotors?

drunkoffjuic · 01/21/2013, 03:38 PM

Its got to be the angle that shot is taken, but those rotors look huge!!

But why paint them black? the paint to just going to rub off the first time you apply your brakes. Plus the paint could in-bed itself in the pads and rune them.

Menace · 01/21/2013, 03:58 PM

that is exactly what I was thinking

Ahaha I never even thought of that .. & thanks.

Right now I have some audio upgrades sitting in my basement waiting for it to warm up, although I still need to get a new stereo and make a corner box. And I'll be sound deadening when I put in the new speakers, I figured it wouldn't hurt to do it all at once. I'm also thinking about getting some led tails and halo projector headlights I just have to figure out which ones are both the good ones and ones I like

They were definitely bigger than I thought they would be, and it'll keep the center part where the pad doesn't rub against from getting all nasty and rusty. Hopefully ... I've never heard of paint ruining pads

I got em from summit racing, I think it was around 180$ with shipping/handling and delivery, whichever they call it same thing. My friend has basically the same rotors on his tbird and they are soo nice. The pads I got with his 25% discount from autozone

37Eclipse · 01/22/2013, 09:55 PM

So I got some enkeis for 55$ apiece. Granted I only got two and somehow they got separated in the mail and only one made it today ..

Reptar · 03/31/2013, 04:00 PM

Plasti dipped my bumper & roof this weekend.

The bumper pissed me off beyond belief, as the tape wouldnt make a smooth line but after another 3 hours i got it to look decent.

And then as if the bumper didn't piss me off enough i decided to do the roof, which I'm debating if i wanna get it painted gloss black or just leave the dip on it for now.. Either way 12$ made my car look quite different

Reptar · Today, 12:52 PM

Small updates: LED tail lights are in my basement waiting to be taken apart so I can put some red film in to cover the icky chrome. FD-05s are finally on. Up next is going to be some coilovers

Of course, the one time rochester actually provided some decent lighting for pictures I didn't have a decent camera

but here are a few

Horsepower v horse power lol

ccarrillo717 · Today, 01:02 PM

Bumper looks horrible, should of kept it white and only done the roof

iHamzaDev · Today, 01:18 PM

The front bumper doesn't look too bad. If you get some aftermarket turn signals and headlights (Sonar or Depos), then that might match the front bumper. Good thing though, you can peel it off anytime you want.

Reptar · Today, 01:37 PM

I actually dislike the roof more than I don't like the bumper, mainly because of the texture. Ill probably eventually get the roof professionally pained high gloss black.
And yeah I've just been debating if the black turns are going to be too dark, or if the slightly lighter black ones which I dislike more would be a better option just for visibility reasons

I think it looks good. IMO the bumper looks out of place and looks like the mod people do on the 4g eclipse with the bumper. Other than that looks clean, have fun with it.

And then as if the bumper didn't piss me off enough i decided to do the roof, which I'm debating if i wanna get it painted gloss black or just leave the dip on it for now.. Either way 12$ made my car look quite different

FD-05s are finally on. Up next is going to be some coilovers Of course, the one time rochester actually provided some decent lighting for pictures I didn't have a decent camera but here are a few Horsepower v horse power lol Last edited by Reptar; Today at 12:58 PM.

If you get some aftermarket turn signals and headlights (Sonar or Depos), then that might match the front bumper. Good thing though, you can peel it off anytime you want. __________________

Ill probably eventually get the roof professionally pained high gloss black. And yeah I've just been debating if the black turns are going to be too dark, or if the slightly lighter black ones which I dislike more would be a better option just for visibility reasons Sent from AutoGuide.com Free App
