Yeah. There was no 1g Eclipse or Talon.... That is why I am making one out of a Ford Probe.... There was HOWEVER a REALLY big scale 1991 Eclipse I believe... They are now rare...and expensive..

Here is the block after I pulled the manifold off...

I said it was turbo time.... But a little shabby. :/

Exhaust side:

Intake side:

What color should I paint this thing (the manifold)??

Bottom:

I was thinking aluminum.... or maybe chrome (well.... the closest thing I have to chrome...).... Maybe flate black.. I don't know..

Any ideas?

For the diecast Eclipse? Because those are HARD to find.... I just spent like 10 minutes using Google and nothing....

If you mean the Probe kit, not too hard to find....

I started on the front bumper.....(Just for refrence, I'll repost this picture):

Now to let the Dremel recharge........ :/

Worked on the front bumper.....

Still needs work....

Yes I know it is kind of sideways and uneven but, believe it or not, this is my first time messing around with a bumper like this....

Thanks for looking!

ive seen them on ebay every once in awhile. the ones ive seen are smaller then a shoe box so not to big. But i think they usually go for a pretty penny.

I remember when i used to do models. i also used to take apart hotwhhels cars and redo the interiors with needle brushes

I believe the scale on the one I am talking about is like... 1/16 Bigger then a shoe box.

I did alot with the front clip tonight. I still need to cut out where the fog lights WOULD go, or find out what I am going to do in that area... *Will have pictures tomorrow*

Now, I need to know which intake manifold to use...

The Magnus Motorsports one (I believe it is),

or this Vemon one

UNLESS someone has a better suggestion.... (And the turbo is huge...) just a side note...

Thanks.

DSMINMN · 03-09-2010

Yeah, I know, the pics. aren't the greatest....

Here is the turbo...

Still working on the hot side....
