Hey everyone. My name is Kimberly and I just joined the forums. I have an 03 eclipse...haven't done any mods or anything to it yet....just curious of options and stuff. I didn't know if anyone ever met or how this works exactly..Hopefully I hear from ya soon

welcome to the board Kim I hope you enjoy the board and if you have any other questions feel free to ask. If your looking for options for your 3gen Eclipse I know neweclipse.org has some stuff. As for meets there is suppose to be one in Cordova i believe coming up I don't know much about it off the top of my head someone else here will. There is also a car show in Decatur on the 25th but I don't know if a lot of people from here will be going except me (sorry spy ).

Hey kimberly03, Welcome to the boards. I have a 02 dodge stratus which is pretty close to being the same. They use that same engine parts but they use different body parts. Let me knwo if you need any help!

Welcome.

Hey, thanks for the welcome. I've got a buddy who is in neco - a cougar car club...and he loves it. I'm not sure what kind of stuff I want to do to my car... I have no idea where or how to begin either.... But, I am interested in it. You mentioned a meet or something in Cordova. Where is that? I'm close to St. Louis...and I know Decatur is a 4 hours from me or so...Do most of you guys live up that way? Or is anyone closer to me..?

Kimberly03, how close to St. Louis are you. Me and Mike live in St. Louis.

I live right across the river...in Granite City.

We were just there last sunday! STLBLKMSP and I live on the West side (Mike throws the Gansta Sign "W")! We went to belview. do you knwo anyother people that have 3g's?

Startig out can be the most difficult thing. Just be careful and not to cared away with buying mods. You can bury yourself in a hole pretty quickly and not realize it. If you like the way your performs now then, go with appearance mods. If you like more power then start out with performance mods. I started off by lowering and putting new rims on my. Here is where you can see before and after pics.

Welcom to the boards, Kimberly.
I know a guy in neco. He lives up here in Washington. He has a white '02 Cougar w/ hella stereo mods done. He is a student at SIUE.

I drive a GS 5-speed. Wasn't sure if I wanted a manual when I bought it...but
Now I love it!! I get compliments on it..but when I tell guys it's a stick, they get excited. What is it with guys and stick shifts? What color is yours Speedracer?

Hey JBONE, what chapter of neco does your friend belong to? Gateway or Land of Lincoln? Just curious so I could tell my neco buddy.

my 3g is maroon with black leather

Mine is Titanium with black cloth interior
