I heard it was the cool thing to do now a days. So I figured I'd post some pics of my beater.
Took me forever due to money issues, and the car not running my life. I'd rather go out, get drunk, and get bitches home than work on ratty ass DSM's. Anyhow, it's running good, can keep up with 600's on the highway on low boost and pump gas, and should go pretty fast on slicks in a few weeks.
Car = 96 Eclipse GST, 61k on the body, 400 on the new engine. Most mods are covered here except for the secret squirrel stuff:

I will post more pics in the next few weeks. The car has only been hosed off in the above pics, first time in 3.5 years. Since then, I've put about 15 hours into the paint and to say it looks immaculate is an understatement.
Also mounted the wideband inside, and finally got a full 3" ss exhaust fabbed up for it, instead of the turndown downpipe I was running.
Needs a few things still, such as fender rolling, suspension (going to fancy coilovers), and an alignment, as well as new brakes (ordered). After racing bikes up to 165/170mph this weekend and just have the brake pedal hit the floor it's not very reassuring.
Enjoy.
