This is now my build thread...


Hey what's up guys I just got my 01 GSR last month after my 01 eclipse was totaled. Here's pics.. she's all stock but I plan to go all motor. So far my only mods are 8k HID's, system (cuz it came out the eclipse lol), Mobil 1 full synthetic oil, and K&N oil filter. I also was wondering what is the best intake to get since i'm going all motor. I've been thinking about an Injen short ram or a AEM v2







My eclipse before the accident

Damn that teg looks fucking mint! Nice buy, take good care of her. The fact that its a GS-R makes it all the better ^ ^

Thanks man. Yea I was surprised to get one in such good condition. I have a friend who has a RS he's doing the GSR swap and boosting it and he should be done with it by August he says. I think he's going to join the forum too

Thats a sexyyyy damn car!

Intake... Injen SRI
That GSR best bet is high end power.

Thats a good upgrade from that Eclipse ;)

Well the eclipse got smoked by the homies 06 k24 Accord lmfao but I used to pull on another friends modded v6 stang. I ended up with that eclipse after my 96 mazda mx-6 (2.5l V6) took a dump on me.. I invested alot into that car including a new ECU after a local shop kept selling me bum alternators that ended up frying the ECU so I got tired of throwing money into a car that really wasn't worth it. So I picked up my Eclipse for $4000 with 84k miles. I was originally looking at a 98 GST they had on the lot but it was in really bad shape. Because they didn't want to lose a sale they sold me the 01 eclipse for the same price. I had plans to get a Evo 8 head and go turbo, but then i realized that wasn't gonna be worth it either lol The only way to do a evo swap the right way on a eclipse like that is to get a full 4G63 long block which isn't cheap! I had Eibach sportline springs, advan RS replica rims, AEM CAI, ebay 4-1 headers.. It was cool while it lasted. Then I got hit by a f-150 and I wasn't gonna settle for something else I didn't really want you know. All I searched for were GSR's,, DC5 type s, and I almost got a FA5 civic SI, but the finance company was really fuckin me over, so I didn't get that. I found the teg paid for it cash and since I've had it I can say that it's a blast to drive. Getting on the freeway is always fun :) I like how ricers try to rev at me or laugh when I pull up to a light just because I'm still stock. These guys in EG's and EK's don't realize their SOHC doesn't have shit on me.. unless they went to Bisimoto! lol I know honda/acura kinda rival mitsu but I'd take my GSR anyday over going back to that eclipse.

lol yea probably is. So many people called about the car even as I was signing the papers! I had saw the car on a Friday right before they closed put a $200 deposit to hold it for me and came back first thing Saturday morning with the rest of my cash haha :) I had lost 2 DC5's because people got there right before me so I wanted to make sure I didn't lose this!
