Yeah, I saw this on DSMtuners earlier this week. Great idea.. surprised nobody thought of it before.

Yep, those are the wheels I was thinking of. They were on the 2gb (97-99) GSX and the first couple years of the 3g. Thats awesome you've got a set brand spanking new! Like I said, if they end up not working for you I'd like first dibs.

You won the 17's, huh? Are those the 2gb GSX wheels? If they don't work for you, I just might take them off your hands..

I had a great time, guys. I'm so glad I got my car up and running in time. It was nice to bring my own car for a change.

I took quite a few pictures too.. have a look if you like... Factory MOD '08 Picture Gallery

Its going to be close, but I should have my car done by Saturday. I just need to finish installing my HRC FMIC and replace the cracked oil filter housing. It might be a late night Friday, but it would be worth it if I can get it all done. I'm hell-bent on bringing my car this year!

You know what, thats a good idea. Even if Mitsubishi doesn't plan one, we could have an "unofficial" cruise or something.

I'm going again this year so I'll see you all down there.. I'm coming from Champaign though so I won't be able to join the cruise.

I saw it last night and flat out loved it! Best superhero movie I've ever seen..

I rode down last year with a buddy in his 1g. I had a blast and I didn't even bring my car! I definitely plan on going again this year and hopefully with my car this time.

Hey, whats up Curt. I've got relatives up in the Twin Cities that I'll be visiting some time this summer. If I'm up in MN when this is going on, I'll be sure to stop by. BTW, how close is Rogers, MN to Minneapolis-St. Paul?

If I don't make it to the cookout, I'm sure I'll see you at Factory MOD '08.

Wow, thats awesome.. great work guys!

$500? Man, you really did get a deal. Assuming you have a '95 Eprom in there, the ECU alone is worth $150!

those guys are crazy.. looks great!

sweet video!

When I click on the thumbnails, all I get is some weird code in a new window instead of the enlarged image. Anybody else having the same trouble? Just want to make sure its not only me..

Oh shoot, I guess it ended Sunday.. sorry about that. I didn't notice.

You know, this might be the perfect opportunity for you to pick up the new FP Race manifold. It'll cost you a little bit more than a 2g mani but it will be well worth it IMHO. Over on DSMtuners, they are on their third group buy and Rob is selling these things for $175. That is just a steal!

Here is the link to the GB thread... FP Race Manifold - Group Buy #3

Oh God, that looks hot! Very nice Kapoosh!

What wheels are those? Advan RS?

I don't know what it is about this GSX but it sounds great. I think alot of it is the cams he is running.. just a hunch. Eclipse GSX w/Tial external WG

Where did you find this?

I was just watching Top Gear on BBC last night. They were running the Veyron at VW's test track in Germany and they maxed it out at a top speed of 253mph! Freakin' crazy.

I'm sure most of you have seen it, but here it is just in case... Top Gear - Bugatti Veyron

Kinda ironic but I was just reading one of my old issues of Sport Compact Car today (February 2004 issue). That issue covered the 2003 Ultimate Street Car Challenge and one of the cars competing that year was a '95 Eclipse GSX owned by Roy Narvaez. Roy's DSM shod with Hoosier R3SO3 tires finished second at the drag strip, first around the road coarse, and ended up finishing second overall. Not too shabby.. I'd say the tires worked out well for him.

Here is a video of John Mueller piloting the GSX to the win at the California Speedway road course...
