Update. I went to the track last night and for the first time I used slicks. My first run I did my personal best of 8.80 in the 1/8 mile still with a shitty 60ft. Here is a pic of the slip.
![]() And here is the vid inside the car. YouTube - Chato's Turbo 3G Eclipse first time with slicks After that, My clutch gave up, and now I'm looking for a better clutch.

Here are some pics of the new wheels I got. They are Greg Weld drag stars 15x8 0 offset. I'm going to use these with some M&H 24.5x8.5-15 drag slicks.

Finally, I ordered a Comp stage 5 4 puck clutch and a Fidanza steel friction insert replacement. I'll post pics when they get here.

Well, I finally got the new clutch in, and all I can say is wow. This new Comp stage 5 clutch is great. The pedal feels like stock, and I can't wait to break it in so that I can see how hard it grabs. Here are some pics of the old one.
![]() The tranny was filthy and it stunk like burned clutch. ![]() The old flywheel friction plate looked pretty bad. Good thing I bought a replacement. ![]() Here is the old ACT clutch.

yeah bro that kit is too ricer lookin. eclipse especially the 3g's look best with that clean oem/jdm look to them. all those blitz and aftermarket ricer lookin kits dont look good at all. a simple lip and some rims and headlights and taillights would look good. check out my eclipse bro and i like your headlights

quick question? Is the stock oil pressure from the car good enough to feed the turbo at the same time or is another oil pump recommended so that the car itself and turbo gets the oil needed?
thanks guys!

Hey Chato I have a few questions for you; Where did you find the Stage 5 Clutch for the 6G72? Also I have had the weld wheels idea in my head for awhile now since we have the same lug pattern of a mustang, how good does the 0 offset sit with the body?

How old is your clutch? and how much have you abused it? If you are planning on drag racing with your car a lot and you have 300+whp, you should get a puck clutch instead of a disk clutch.

I do plan on drag racing this spring and it's just shy of 300 right now. It should be over 300 once I get it dyno tuned.

My ACT disk clutch lasted me 2 years of abuse. If you are ready to change your clutch I definitely recommend you to get the Comp stage 4 or 5 clutches. The Stage 5, which is the one I have, feels great. The pedal feels soft almost as it was a stock clutch, but the engagement is fucking amazing.

It sucks for daily driving only if you don't like the way it engages. It engages hard as hell, but that's what I was looking for. You can always slip it a little bit, but it is a little harder to slip it because it grabs like a mofo. BTW I love you and thank you for taking care of the cars.

Thanks for the comments guys. I put the stock front bumper back on because I got sick of looking at my broken kit every day. I will post pics of the car when I finish the new 2009 look.

That is one hell of a car man! You really did a good job building that one. The new Weld Drag rims looks really tight too! How about posting some pics with the slick mounted.
