[TonyRSX]

nice...so which would you rather be riding in?

[Alan®]

honestly man i like em both but the tC was an auto and i hated it if i had both cars with the same mods id stay with the eclipse. i love this car though i had to drive it back from VA beach and it drove like a champ so i'm really liking this car.

[DR_Imports]

what mods have u got in mind for this one?

[Sport1.3]

Nice House

[quickdodge®]

tC looks much better than that Eclipse. Later, QD.

[Sammich]

im with QD on this one, my fiancee has the eclipse and it is some ugly ass shit. should have kept the TC

[dizzle]

agreed.

[OneSlow5pt0]

i like it more than the TC,but i like the 2G more than the 3rd

[Tech5]

Ummm tc loks better ..but my opinion ..which are like ass holes I dont like nether But good for you getting another ride better then walking

[Kyle]

Thats a nice present and a hella nice house in the background. Make a clean 3g, they are rare. Look at club3g, Imbosile linked it to me once, it's awful.

[imbosile]

ah nice nice, i dont know how many regular posters here own 3G's, i havn't seen many

and like kyle said, definitely check out club3g.com if you havnt already, you can get into some group buys and save yourself some money

[gtikid]

Nice house.....

[AnthonyF]

sig and name change playa! nice color

[Hektik]

liked the TC better...



When I first read the I thought you were talking about a 3000GT... then I came in here and was dissapointed.

[Alan®]

im with QD on this one, my fiancee has the eclipse and it is some ugly ass shit. should have kept the TC

would have but like i said i got kicked out the car was in her name but i was makin all the payments so i lost 8k between the car payments and mods

Thanks man as far as the house goes we just closed on it last week my dad designed it from the ground up ill post some pics later when i get a chance. As far as 3g ive already been on there im starting to get more active on that forum and definitely taking notes. I definitely plan on doing this cleanly like i did the tC. I gotta get the windows tinted next week this heat and the leather are absolutely killing me.

yea man my dad has had this car for about 5 years now and this was actually supposed to be my first car but i got a 2g eclipse instead then my mom totalled it and i got the tC.


sig and name change playa! nice color

definitely man i love this color

[WTF?]

good looking car i had mine about 4 months and i love it

[GSRteg®]

Damn just kicked you out huh.

[SpecV_Scott]

I'm not a big fan of the 3G Eclipse, but I'm glad you have those wheels and not those hideous 6-spoke ones that came on most of them. I'm pretty sure the wheels you have were leftover from the 99 GSXs, but they look cool on the 3Gs. I remember when they came out, the fully loaded 3Gs had those wheels.

[IndianStig]

so you're mom totalled your car, forcing you to make payments on a TC and now she takes it from you?

keep this one away from her! lol, i like it, i wanna drive a 3g, everyone rags on em but I think they're alright. NICE HOUSE FOREAL THOUGH! Perfect driveway and looks to be ample garage space!

[Turbodude06]

Looks like a clean car to start with, those V6's are torque little motors.....

no in order she...........
kicked me out
reported the car stolen
had the police come to school to try and arrest me
backed into something causeing the exhaust to shift its position burning a hole in the bumper

then drove it to myrtle beach and back with a busted sway bar link rubbing the inside of the wheel and tire with 5% life left on the brake pads

went to the dealership to give them the wheel locks today and didnt even want to go back there and look at the car cause it makes me sad cause i cant get anything off the car not even my wheels or 15" sub box and amp so....

As far as the house goes i am uploading those pictures right now so they will be up in a bit

havent really been able to do much with the car had to replace almost all the speakers in the car so i went with alpine type r's all the way around im not gonna run an amp with these so.....

yea they really are i was actually really happy with the way the car picks up speed once i really started to beat down on it. the car has an idle problem as it sits which really isnt too bad though. the cars actual idle is supposed to be about 650-700 rpms but idles at close to double that and after driving it around town when you pull up to a stop light and put it in neutral the car bounces between 1500-1k rpms but its not spiratic its actually very timed the SES light is on and i just havent been able to go get the codes checked cause i work pretty much all the time.


plans for the car:
Window Tint
Speakers installed
Rota P45 r's
Greddy or tanabe exhaust
Injen Intake


And that will pretty much be it for a while. I'd love to get more done on it but i have about a month left before i go to college at which point my dad is making me quit my job as he wants no distractions while im at school so I honestly probably wont even get half of that stuff done on the car. I have my girls birthday and my dads birthday two weeks apart this month and i have to put 1k away between now and the time school starts so. We will ahve to wait and see i will defintely be getting the window tint done next as red with black leather gets hotter than you can imagine and maybe the exhaust after that who knows parts for this car are about double what i payed for stuff on my tC.

[sprix!]

Congrats.... as long as you like it, that is all that matters. Not bad. You like the V6 I take it?

[Alan®]

im not gonna say that becuase she is still my mom but she is definitely not perfect and none of us arebut its how imperfect you are that defines just how crazy you are

[Kyle]

I mean horrible when it comes to cars. But what did you do that made her decide to kick you out or take your car and whatnot.

[Alan®]

nothing man she got into a fight with my old man thought i took his side and kicked me out

[Kyle]

Umm wow. Thats messed up. Id be mad if someone took my car and didnt even let me get my wheels or system back. Its nice that you have a new car though.

[NISMO998506]

But you will have problems at 85k so get rid of it while you can!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE ONE AND HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WTF?]

go with greedy exhaust its pricey but sounds danm good......... mines 100K and not a single problem out of it yet and for the past 4 months i have been driving from north carolina down to GA at least every other weekend

[IndianStig]

go get those fucking wheels dude, thats alot of money.


call the popo on her, stolen wheels and subs, ahaha.

nah but try get em back, sell them and get wheels for the eclipse along with that greddy exhaust.

[CSquared]

Your mom sounds like a cee ue next tuesday.

/thread

edited not to offend... and also... do you have reciepts for anything you put on that car?

[Alan®]

nope and i will probably get the greddy

[ueyedgr8tness]
