So here is a pick of what got the ball rolling on the purchase of the eclipse

A guy ran a red light and t boned me as I was turning left!

And here is a pic the day I test drove her.

Nice to see your ride thread started. I now have an eclipse for the same reason you have one. Other bad drivers.

Nice start on mods. Keep up the good work.

Thanx guys. I have some wheel spacers coming In the next couple of days. Hopefuly that will further the already great handling!
I told the ol lady when I bought the car,that we wouldn't have to worry about sinkin money into it. Then I stumbled onto this forum!.... Lol.

 

[ashort]

...hehe...you've been bitten by the bug!

I don't lean on mine very hard, but I doubt you'll see an improvement in handling with spacers. There is always a difference when you change geometry like that, adding spacers should make that part (front or rear) of the car more prone to slide instead of roll, but lowering is where the huge and noticeable handling improvement was for me. Car is so much more readable and confident in the corners now.

With spacers, go for looks. Accept that there will be a handling improvement that you probably won't notice.

Ya,I got them for the stance and look more than anything. Figured going 1 1/2" or so wider would help contribute to handling, but ehh... I'm just happy I finally got rid of some of that 4x4 status!

Just received a goody today.

I have to say,this LSD looks a lot smaller than what I thought it would be,but he'll is it heavy. Package slip said it weighed in at 74 pounds!

 

[fabguy]

Mmmmm LSD. Nice. You'll love it.

 

[disillusions]

So jelly on that LSD.... :drool:

 

[Itsa mitsa 08 gt]

Got a dirty picture for you guys!

Was a little worried about backing the tent trailer up that embankment,but she made it!

And here's a pic with her all cleaned up and a new pair of shoes!

I know it's a pretty common rim,but I got a good deal on them and the stock ones were driving me nuts!

 

[Itsa mitsa 08 gt]

So today my bearings for the LSD came in. Hopefuly my diff and this beauty right here will be in the car in the next week or two!

And another pic of the rims

The clutch is a clutch masters stage 250 with a aluminum flywheel.

 

[fabguy]

Nice. Have to be excited to get all that installed.
