First kill of 07 in the books, mid 90's boosted Eclipse
Found an 96ish Mistu Eclipse today while out and about, he was sporting the usual ***** high wing, coffee can sized exhaust, and Altezza tails, but the front mount intercooler made me think there might be a good race in this guy. I was making a right onto the road into the direction he was traveling, he was the first car waiting at the light. So I roll out in first, punch it thru 3000rpm, slid into second and let the tail do a little waggle just to let him know, he bites, comes flying past me w/ a rev and a BOV, we struggle to find road and a light, finally we get lined up. Check traffic as the green is coming up, we're good, I stall at 2200rpm, he's ready too, we take off, I leave with barely a chip, just a dead hook, and I'm 3 cars by the time I rip into second, I stay in until 50mph, he's still not pulling, so I call it quits. He drives by w/ the usual ***** flyby, I throw a rev. He defintley went for the launch too, but gears, converter, and posi made the win today, I'm sure from a roll he'd may have pulled me, but that wasn't the race we had. Good times...

Awsome race, maybe now he can see that 8 cylinders is the way to go. I am sure he has dumped thousands of $$ into that import of his and he still gets smoked by stock Camaros and Trans ams.

please don't get me wrong but something doesn't add up to well here. even if he didn't get the greatest launch on you his car should have fairly easily taken yours. he should of started to pull almost right away even more so if he had any mods.
so my thoughts on this is that the story is either B.S. or you just beat a broke down wore out car.

Its funny how you talk about beating this boosted eclipse so easily when I made a thread a few days ago about beating a civic si and you said that you don't think its true that I beat him and that he probably would have pulled on you.So if a civic si with 197 hp would have pulled on you how the hell could you beat a boosted eclipse.

damn canadians
with different car types
that or maybe thinking of the talon brand I donno. but as I know them at least the eclipse used rs/gs/gsx/gst
the esi/tsi and so forth where more for the talon version.
I'm assuming you are refering tot he base 4 cylinder N/A model.

Re: First kill of 07 in the books, mid 90's boosted Eclipse
For what its worth, I respect those DSM cars, I particually like the early TSi cars, I wouldn't mind building one of those some day, absolute great bang for the buck. And my comment on the Civic thing stands, from a roll I probably wouldn't stand a chance with one, and the ride you have would seem to be less built than my already mild build. Flame on...

Re: First kill of 07 in the books, mid 90's boosted Eclipse
Actually I would think our cars are evenly built.I have an edelbrock performer rpm intake with a modified ccquadrajet,an msd ignition coil,wires, and cap & rotor, and a dynomax 2-1/4 true dual exhaust with headers,glasspacks,and no cats.You also have a mild cam that isn't much better than stock, and my 3.23 gears are better for racing from a roll than your 3.73 gears.So I could see how you could have trouble at high speeds and top end when I don't.

They all had 4 cylinders. It wasent untill 99 i think that the eclipse was offered with a 6 and they also changed bodystyles.
I believe him. My friend has a boosted civic si and he spins horibly through 1st and most of 2nd. 60ft is 2.6 or something. My stock wornout 305 would pull a few cars on him in the lauch but he would blow by me quick.

Re: First kill of 07 in the books, mid 90's boosted Eclipse
nah it's cool. and if nothing else it wouldn't be the first time different car sub types would be used between the two places.
kinda like the SiR vs the si here in the states for the honda products. we don't have the SiR here.
