Well, I threw this quick video together in 5 minutes, just so people knew that I do have my eclipse lol. Sorry it is poor quality, it was taken with a 4.0mp point and shoot camera. Would of gotten video on the high boost tune too, but the gentleman whose driveway I was standing in to take the video came out and the convo went as follows:

Him: What in Gods name are you doing?
Me: Filming some video for a school project (obviously a lie), I apologize.
Him: Well, did you want cops to be part of your video?
Me: No sir, we'll leave.
Him: Although, I don't think any cop would be able to catch that rocket.
Me: *chuckle* yeah, it is pretty quick.
Him: Son, if that thing had wings it'd taken off.
Me: *chuckle* Well thanks for giving me a chance to leave.
Him: Yeah, Yeah, get lost.

Hahaha, I thought it was pretty funny, he was probably mid 60's and hard of hearing (just to add to the visualization).

Nice :buttrock

Nice

Where the heck are you? You're like in the middle of nowhere :]

Hey, your still going to let me track your eclipse at PIR right? :shifty

If your number is higher than 0 when I ask how many 10s cars you have piloted......then, YES ;).

thats sick

When the weather is nice and I have my good tires on I'll take video of my scheduled races (on a private road mind you). So far the challengers are:

Ariel Atom
F430
1G Talon
93.5 Supra
RX7

They will be taken with a better camera too :).

If your number is higher than 0 when I ask how many 10s cars you have piloted......then, YES ;).

:(



edit: You going to post when you do the races? I want to watch.

I used to have an eclipse too. It only made 270 whp @ 16 psi *shrug*....not much of a track(auto x) car....even drag racing was a joke as it just burned the tires off all the time. I always loved the way those eclpse spyders looked, nice car.

Thanks!

Abbot: Yes I'll let you know when I race. Though, I don't think they will all be on the same day.

Why'd you build a vert?

Why'd you build a vert?

Because it is rare and I can:D.

Also, when I get a 10s timeslip I will OFFICIALLY be the FASTEST Eclipse Spyder in the world:cool!

damn mang. let me you when you head up to PIR, i want to witness that.

hows the twinscrew on the m coming?

How much power are you puting down?

Are you converted to a 1g bottom end?

Definately interested in the specs.

I don't know a soul here that doesn't like DSM's, cars are so damn cool.

mitchelrl
Smartass.

Anyways, nice video but getting into the 10s with a FWD car is going to take quite an effort... just guessing from that quick video I bet you're only running in the mid to high 13s on 10psi...

Bfowler - I will be running as soon as the track opens for late night drags. I'll make sure to post up when I am going. Trinscrew unfortunately has been pushed back as a couple of my businesses took a hit. But I am hoping for the first of April. Until then I will just be doing suspension and brakes.

Mitchelrl - I will be dynoed within the next month. But as it sits the predictions (made by very knowledgeable tuners who have driven it) say 15psi is in the 440-460 AWHP range and 30psi is 600+AWHP. Yes the motor started out as a 4G63 (1g). Specs = I will finally build a list (in some time) because I have been asked over and over. My only answer now is that nothing under the hood is stock. This is my 7th and LAST DSM, hence why I put all my pennies into it :), so I guess you could say I love them too ;)!

jrhaile - It is not FWD. It was converted to AWD. My builder actually marked out the 1/4 mile (a place where he takes all his cust. cars to tune). He said with a flagger and stopwatch HE was pulling 12.2-12.5 on the 15lb tune with the street tires and pump gas. I just put ?? in the video because I have no proof yet.

***I know it hasn't been said yet, but if anybody has a "yeah right comment" please just hold onto it. I am solely making predictions right now off of peoples suggestions that have been in the game a very very long time. I'll have proof as soon as the track opens***
