Well i've had this car since christmas but I'm just now ordering parts for it and fixing it from what i call, "The Winter of Destruction".

Over the course of winter i ripped the bottom of the front bumper off (snowstorm on christmas eve going to work), went through 3x transmissions, the clutch has slipped once or twice during a quick 2nd to 3rd shift, the muffler fell off(shitty welds), and the rear diff has developed a decent whine on decel.

Well ive been getting parts here and there and just got my job back so the modding is back on. Heres a list of whats already done and some info on the car,

1990 Eclipse GSX
230,000 on shell
30,000 on Engine
Trans has no 1st or Reverse as of now (New one going in next friday)

Mods....
Engine has 272 cams thats about all i know, when i bought the car the guy said he bought a built motor from some other guy lol, the recipt is just for the installation of the engine.
Aftermarket HKS boost gauge
Basic 1g Free mods
Test pipe and reinstalled Canister muffler

Parts ordered as of today...
3" Catback
3" downpipe
Xtd Stage 4 clutch kit
Full Polyurethane suspension bushing kit

Heres Some not so good pics i took tonight and a vid of my exhaust

I also picked up a rear diff and cleaned it all up cause i was bored turned out very Halloweenish lol, i had a left over can of Chevy orange so i used that on the cover and left the cooling fins polished, and used por15 and some flat black over it on the housing.

thanks for the compliments guys, and ya andy that bumper is the best $5 bucks i ever spent lol thx again man.

My bushing kit should be here on monday so ill probably get started on it on Tuesday, and update with more pics. I'm undecided if i want to use any more orange on the suspension components since i ordered the energy suspension bushings, which are orange as well.
It would match but i dont want it too look too tacky lol.
