Ok,I have a 1990 GSX Eclipse that is sitting in my driveway right now. I am loosing time and interest in it.
With the economy the way it is, I will be loosing money on selling it (unless someone wants to make an offer...)
I figure the only way that I can start gaining interest in this car again is if I build it for competition. Drag racing isn't completely out of the question but I am not going to spend a fortune on buying a forged internal set for it... then a transmission... then whatever else breaks
So Autocross i think would suit it best but what would be the ideal build for it?
What turbo?
*I am thinking a E16G or 20G turbo
Suspension?
*It has KYB AGX with sportlines on it plus some polyurethane bushings
What Cylinder head?
*It has the stock 1g head but I also have a 2g head with a Evo 3 intake manifold laying around. I also have a set of HKS272 and hopefully soon some valve springs to go with that.
I have no idea which one and I keep getting mix results when I ask this question...
Tires, rims?
*I am trying to find a set of RX-7 rims for it because they are wide and are 16" which I have been told still fit over the Evo brakes. Right now I have the 2 piston front brakes.
Brakes?
Um... I have the 2 piston front brakes... don't know what else would work... Evo?
Strut bars?
Do they do anything?.. I have heard mix opinions. I have one on the front of my car.
I am hoping people can chime in and give their experience and advice for engine, suspension and tire advice.
I just want to see if I can make this 1g handle. At this point it doesn't even need to be street comfortable...
Or i might sell it... which ever comes first...
