jhoffner · 05/12/2006, 10:58 PM

some good things on there, like the wheels, but I stick with my opinion of the blitz kit and state that I don't think it flows at all with any car it is made for.

Sintec · 05/13/2006, 02:41 AM

The only thing I care for on the entire car are the headlights.

SlOwFaCeKiLla · 05/13/2006, 11:01 AM

don't look too bad!

LUNAR · 05/13/2006, 12:41 PM

Dont like it. Bodykit =

, tailights =

and it needs a drop asap. Fix those three things and then it should look pretty good!

Chato · 05/13/2006, 01:23 PM

I've just dropped it but I need to take new pics. What's wrong with the tail lights? I love my body kit so that's not going to change.
Thanks for your opinion though.

BEISSEN · 05/13/2006, 01:51 PM

Ok 90% of people here hate Clear/Silver Altezzas they are just plain ugly and cheap looking with the color car you have get a set of Black or CF Tails and it will go much better and everyone almost will thank you for it hell if you were close to me and well if I was back I will sell you my 03 Tails for dirt cheap.But I am in Iraq do no access to them right now.But to each their on on style but I would say get differant tails at least.

Smooth S70 · 05/13/2006, 03:03 PM

body kit needs to go...and drop it

agreed. generic kits like these that are made for 100 other cars are lame. it doesnt flow with the 3g body lines one bit.

Yeah that kit is killing your car. Man please get a different kit. It would look soo much better without it. But it does look better now that you dropped it.

stylez · 05/14/2006, 08:14 PM

Hmmm, looks like every other eclipse with a blitz kit IMO. I like the headlights, thats about it. The wheels are ok.

Chato · 06/09/2006, 07:34 PM

I can't wait to install these stuff. Hopefully after that I'll get the turbo kit.

04MOJOGT · 06/09/2006, 08:07 PM

Nice wheels. The car is very shiney. I could live with the sides and rear of that kit but the front is just a mess PERIOD. Change just the front to a different kind or something and it would look alot better. Send me a Pm after you install that Flywheel and clutch.... Im interested in how that combo works on a stock engine..... thats if you install it before boost.

metzgerhund · 06/09/2006, 10:58 PM

Sorry dude, but the only thing I'm liken is the drop and the color.

permalink · 06/09/2006, 11:02 PM

Please get rid of the body kit. The wheels are ok. The drop is good.

BEISSEN · 06/10/2006, 10:19 AM

Yeah get rid of the kit no matter how fast it its its just a fast turd.Get a WW or SS kit at least or torque something to get rid of it.

Majend · 06/10/2006, 05:30 PM

the drop looks pretty good but the wheels look pretty small in the wheel wells, the wheels themselves are pretty cool buy maybe a bigger tire would help. i really don't like the tail lights for a few reasons. first they look cheep and second nothing else on the car is black and then there are these chrome taillights, it just doesn't fit. the reason i don't like the body kit really only has to do with the front end. with that front end and many other full front end replacements is that the front wheels well no longer is simetrical (please excuse the spelling) because they never hang right, also the bottom edge isn't parallel with the groud, it is turned up which in my mind is a very ugly thing and only cheepens the car. the rest of the kit looks ok but since it isn't molded on it looks a little out of place, since it is really obvious where the kit ends and the car begins. it looks like you have put in a lot of time and effort into your car and i hope you are open to other peoples opinions. to each his own this is just my two cents

Stiles05s · 06/10/2006, 07:52 PM

Dave88 · 08/12/2006, 11:38 AM

You should try to figure out how to get those wheels to be flush with your rear fenders or try to get wheels that will be, because it doesn't look too good, imo, when it's sucken in like that. Looks really weird.

Chato · 09/20/2006, 10:43 PM

2 Bad news for me.

First, the copper head gasket that came with the engine rebuild kit that I bought didn't fit.

Second, the wiseco pistons that came with the same kit were too big and they were hitting the head. I'm so mad right now.

Here are some pics of the pistons and the head gasket that never fit.

Here you could see where the pistons hit the head.

icemanrld19 · 09/20/2006, 10:52 PM

get a thick headgasket... man that really sucks

Chato · 09/20/2006, 10:57 PM

Now, I have to get a hold of the guy that sold me the

engine rebuild kit and get my money back. Thank god that the guys from Tearstone performance solutions

had some new CP pistons and rings in stock so I should be getting them soon.
Thank you Bobbi and Russ

Russ told me that the stock head gaskets are as good as the copper ones so that's what I have now.

The stock MLS head gaskets are much better than those copper ones. Even after learning more about the Cometic MLS head gaskets (which are primarily only used for the VR-4 pistons to make up the piston compression height difference) I am still leaning that the stock head gaskets for this engine are still cream of the crop from what we have to choose from. After talking to other shops that build engines around the country they don't like Cometic either.

I've never heard of anyone having problems with the stock MLS head gaskets that are running boost in this community. I have heard problems with both RPW and Cometic head gaskets though. It's all personal preference I guess from what you prefer that's why we keep the Cometics available to customers on the website.

PharmEcis · 09/21/2006, 03:24 PM

That stroker kit is for the old 12v 6g72 found in most chryslers. That is why the pistons have only 2 large valve reliefs cut into them. Also why your head gasket is way off.

Ooops.

You cut your wiring harness to pull out the motor and trans? Didn't you remove the axles before pulling it?

I hope you are sending your block off to the machine shop for a professional to check the clearances and let it get everything it needs. Otherwise you just spent a lot of money on pistons that aren't going to go anywhere. Also, don't expect to use the stroker rods w/ the CP pistons. It's not going to work.

PharmEcis · 09/21/2006, 03:37 PM

Hrm... I was under the impression it was a stroker kit because the parts look like what come w/ IPP's kit.

I see no crank though so I might be off. The pistons are definitely for the OLD 6g72 though.

What about your rods? You might have to ditch those too.

It's actually the HP engine rebuild kit from IPP. I bought the Crower rods from slowboyracing.com so the rods should be fine.

CloudINC00 · 09/22/2006, 01:05 AM

The indents on the pistons, are they even lined up with the valves?
