J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

My 97 Eclipse GSX Spyder that began as a mitsu purple, 2.4L, SOHC, N/A, FWD, Automatic in 2008. It is going to be a Arctic White, AWD, 2.4L, DOHC, Turbo, Manual, with minor mods

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

Impressive. I wouldn't even want to guess how many hours you have into this!

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

Good to see you on here.

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

Nice car! Hope to see you around the area this summer, I live in St. Cloud

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

Very nice. That is how I bought my 98 spyder new as a 2.4 auto.

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

Why not just have gotten a manual shell and save some time? They are really easy to come by and pretty cheap...

Then keep the 7bolt 2.4L, throw on a 7 bolt turbo head, awd.... muahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

it wasn't really that hard to convert. i bought a donor gsx manual. used all of those parts for the swap. juust another thing to add on my list of things i've done

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

o no Doubt! yeah i'll be Praying to be around this summer. i really want to hit up the DSM meet in April!

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

ok so it has been a WAY long time since i have updated this. but the car is up and running. the only problem i have run into was leaking oil pump gasket and the transmission axle seal on the passanger side. other then that everything is working great!!

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

ok so its been a while since ive updated to this forum.. im currently in the process of doing a engine bay shave, semi wire tuck, brake line tuck, and powder coat some more parts. ill update it once again once i get this part of Lucifer done.

Bump

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

Why did you bump your project thread?

Neat project.

You should get Evo Brembos!

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

Looks good man! I agree, get some evo brembos, I can hook you up with some too :)

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

You should get this thing done so someone actually drives their awd spyder other than kerry when he had it. I love the white with black top

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

This. Unless running on hopes and dreams counts. *cough*Blageo*cough* :lol:

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

i do actually drive this thing. lol. but them my ambition to do something overwhelms me and i dig into it! i drove it last year to one of the cars and coffee events. but that was about it. and im hoping to get it done for Proving Grounds!!!! So if you see my car there. just drop by. im sure ill be around it! :) and what would a evo brembo conversion cost me if ya have everything for me?

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

i thought it would bring it up to the top.. but i just firgured out if you just update it, it brings it back up to the top. :) learn somethin new everyday!

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

just got the e.b. shave done. along with some powder coating, wire tucking, and brake line tucking.

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

no one has anything to say??

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

What is a "e.b." shave?

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

^ Engine bay duh...:wink:

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

You were at the Proving Grounds correct? I remember right before I left I rolled up while Brandon was checking out your car. (I had the red 2gb GS-T). Nice car BTW!

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

I love the shave and tuck! Looks really good. Only thing I would like to see if new nuts on the shocks and upper control arm. Go to a junk yard and take apart an interior and use all those nice clean bolts to replace the underhood ones. It sounds dumb but it helps a ton.
You ever get that wiring figured out?

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

Or you can simply just buy new ones. They're not that cheap.

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

Oh. Too many acronyms already, no need to make more unneeded ones LOL

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

thanks guys!! and i know i just thought e.b. would be self explainitory. lol. but no i havent even started the clutch safety switch or reverse switch.. but i do have everything to do it.

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

yeah ill look into buying nice cleaned up nuts :) ..... its those little things that make it look that much better!! Thanks!!

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

and yes i was at proving grounds!! it was nice to finally talk to a group of people at a show that appreciate good work and have some good advice to watch out for and what to recommend for parts!! :) thanks a lot guys!!

Re: J Vo's GSX Spyder
 

Well its been a while since this thread has been revived. as im currently working on the 240. this is the last update for a while. since i last posted on the spyder there have been things small that ive done to her. i purchased some hids, awesome sick stickers. some more carbon fiber. fixed some pesky leave (which involved me re timing the whore). lowered/rolled fenders. found out the head gasket is out. I donno must have messed up somewhere doing the rebuilt. o well learn from your mistakes. cleaned up the dash a little (de whitening/shaving). here are some pics. its a little dirty.
