Old photos of how the car looked like without any modifications (click on image for larger version):
How the car looks after upgrading to 17x8 Konig Villain wheels and Bridgestone Potenza RE730 rubber. I also have there the result of an unfortunate encounter of one wheel with a metal-plated curb, during my precision-driving days :)
The Ground Control coilovers and the problems I've had with them, outside of the harsh ride and excellent handling, which were to be expected.
Some photos of the exhaust system upgrade and of the Road Race Engineering shop where the install was done.
This is the Water Injection Kit that I tried once, it's used for cooling down the charge somewhat during hot summers (remember the turbo compresses air but it also heats it in the process). I guess you can also see some engine pics there.
For comparison, go to the Far North Racing site for an SCCA "Street Modified"-class Eagle Talon AWD (which is the Eclipse GSX's twin sister). Here's a teaser: 3.6 seconds 0-60mph, 12.5 seconds 1/4 mile and an amazing 1.656 seconds 60-ft time.
