Background: I bought this car on Halloween 2015 for $900. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it besides it being yellow. All that was done to it was an Injen intake and a cheap eBay muffler. First thing I did was paint it the color scheme I wanted(black/white) and I began to tinker with it. I started with small mods, like redoing the exhaust, emissions delete, etc. Then I went on with handling, new control arms, lowering, strut braces, and the Prothane kit. I still wasn't happy with it, I felt like I needed more power to get through the corners. So I fitted the car with a Big 16g and all supporting mods (750cc injectors, -6AN fuel lines, highflow fuel filter, 3" exhaust, SAF-C) really trying to get the car the right ratio of power and balance. Mind you this is still very much a street car and I prefer to keep it as a semi daily. The car came with Spruce cloth seats and a gray interior. Not a fan personally. I got my hands on some 99 Eclipse full black interior with leather for cheap. I almost have the car right where I want it but not quite. I need to stiffen up the drivetrain a bit more and have just a few more ponies to play with.
