something i have noticed since i got a 3g was alot of people who owns one dogs it out and dont support trying anything new. alot of you wonder about na builds, motors swaps, awd conversions, and so on and so forth. but everytime a good idea comes up you shut it down. that is how the honda community got so big. they tried anything and everything and didnt consider ideas stupid. i wish people would try stuff and stop dogging on our cars when you have no idea what you can do with it. im personally getting ready to build a n/a 3g that will have at least 300whp. if not that.. im trying a 6g72 mivec.. if people start doing this stuff then companies like hasport would make motor mounts and whatnot. my main point is if we want our 3gs to go somewhere then we have to be the first people to support it rather than dog on it like its no good.

look man, people on here do research. we are not stupid high school kids with civics, (even though some of us type like we are 12 (me)) we have been through everything to do. there is not too much new that we, on this board, or the other one, have not done. as far as swaps go, search. ask. more then likely we have gone over every aspect of every swap. if some newb ask about a swap, and someone says its not worth it. ITS NOT.
there are no new ideas!
what program would you need it in?

That's essentially my plan...plus the RPW intake manifold, a P&P (package with the cams from RPW?) and higher compression pistons. I just need to win the lottery... :lol:cpltk2 said:
I'm not really interested in doing what pretty much everyone has already done (FI) because I'd like to be different. Honestly I feel my car is reasonably quick already with intake, headers, and exhaust (no, obviously it's not a 10 second car...I don't care), and I think going the whole 9 yards with N/A will be more unique, interesting, and possibly valuable to the community as a whole as well.

Hmm, I know we don't have the aftermarket support of the civic, but just what else do we need?? There is a great turbo kit for both I4 and V6. The I4 is close enough to the 4g63 to take it's share of aftermarket parts from there, and there's a built shortblock for us V6ers if you want to push more. Hopefuly the ECU is next. I ain't need no more boltons, that's for sure. Everything is there, for most of us expensive, but it's there if you want performance, and reasonable performance on this FWD platform. Just my .02

I have also noticed that people have become cheap. I for one, know that if you spend a little bit more, you get higher quality. I knew when I bought this car it didnt have as much potential as others, but some people think the name "Eclipse" means all wheel drive and fast. Oh well, I know some people are still into buyin quality parts!

Hey I know how you feel about people doggin eclipses. Pretty much all of my friends have hondas or acuras and all they talk about is VTEC. But why do they make so many parts for the 2g eclipses and not so much for the 3gs?
