Hey all,

I'm picking the following car up tomorrow evening:

1998 Mitubishi Eclipse GSX

Engine:
DSMlink version 3
2.4L (Eagle rods, Wiseco pistons, 8.8:1)
1G head (ported, polished and gasket matched)
Forced Performance FP HTA GT3582R
Forced Performance dual valve springs
Forced Performance FP3X cams with adjustable cam gears
Tial 44mm external wastegate
SFP exhaust manifold
Polyeutrethane engine mounts
ARP head studs
Felpro headgasket
Magnus intake manifold
RRE 3" downpipe
Apexi 3" catback
Setrab oil cooler
Apexi Skyline FMIC

Fuel:
E85
Walbro 255LPH in-tank
Bosch 044 in-line
-8AN feed and return
Aeromotive FPR
Aeromotive stainless fuel filter
FIC fuel rails
FIC 1250CC injectors

Drivetrain:
Shep Stage 4 transmission
Shep 4 spider differential
Limited slip rear end
PPT twin disk with Isuzu slave

Suspension:
Tein Flex with EDFC
RM front sway bar
RRE custom rear sway bar
Suspension Techniques bushings
13" Baer Claw brakes
Stainless steel brake lines
Rear strut tower brace
17" Motegi Tracklite (flat black)
Goodyear Eagle F1 225/45/17

We have it idling, but that's about it right now. The car has been sitting and the ECU used for another car since then, so no tune currently exists for the car.

I'm wondering where you would go to have it tuned down in the cities. Everyone has their opinions but I'd like to hear yours. I know the basics of tuning (I am proficient with HPTuners) but I don't feel like learning on this car.

And I'd like this to happen ASAP, of course (this weekend?) :beer:

DB in Rogers is the main place where most of us go, MAP is also another possibility. Nice shop, I just haven't used them personally.

Swing by DB Performance. Shane will hook you up for sure. Other shops would be Modern Performance and RS Motors.

Get tuned ASAP!

Are you picking up that silver one up there?

That is a badass fucking car. Also hi again, you must really like me.

Make an appointment, there's usually a wait.

They say the 23rd is the soonest I can get in. I don't think that will work, unfortunately but I'm guessing it's the same everywhere else because of the time of year...

Anyway, yeah I am buying "GSXTacy". I'm going to daily drive it.
