Damn...lost one...
Damn...lost one...
Got a call today from a buddy that says a guy form my school wants to race me. I said sure, why not so I went out to meet them at a straight stretch out by the local water park. Its at least 1/4 mile and it perfect for racing.
His Car: 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS- 5 speed, SS headers, Down Pipe, 3" Apexi Cat-back, High Flow Cat, Ebay CAI, Apexi Safc II, newer Performance Clutch, and Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel.
My Stuff:Crane #14, RHR head decked .030" & P&P, Magnum valve springs, AMM intake mani, Kirk longtube, Dynomax 2.5", Moroso SpiralFlow in the tunnel, MPx udp, Lorenzo 60mm tb(last one eva!), MPP PCM, filled mounts, relocated battery, Apexi Safc,cut down shifter
60 mm tb and Safc are not on the car yet.
We raced once really. The first race, my car would NOT go into 2nd....Im gonna look into that one. Smelled horrible and burnt.
2nd race. I bogged a tad on the start but he pulled one car by the time I was into 2nd gear. He pulled another 1-2 cars until I was in thw middle of 3rd and then it was basically done. It sucked cuz there were alot of people there. ABout 20 people actually..so kinda emabaressing but oh well. I dont think he has lost a race yet, so Im not alone.
I was just amazed how hard it pulled and ran through its gears....ANyone else encountered one of these?

an 02 eclipse is only 200 horses... small v6, its much heavier than your neon and yeah you could take him, not that much harder. get that second gear shift taken care of anyway so you can have a fair chance at it.Jordan2.4 wrote:They are rated at 260ish HP stock.

I already take the tiburon GT's and the mercury cougar v6's. those are only rated at around 175 horses. then there's the v6 mustangs and camaros, I've taken them out too. I don't take them by much, barely a car or so, but its a driver's race between me and them. although the camaro I raped pretty badly. power to weight ratio ftw

For some reason I thought I read that it was an 06' (4th gen). I really find it hard to belive a 3g with bolt ons got you so bad. You sure he is not on the bottle? Mid 14's at best is all he should run with those mods.NinjaneonTurtle wrote:an 02 eclipse is only 200 horses... small v6, its much heavier than your neon and yeah you could take him, not that much harder. get that second gear shift taken care of anyway so you can have a fair chance at it.Jordan2.4 wrote:They are rated at 260ish HP stock.
