hey juelznyc, welcome to the boards! if you got questions, we have answers. first thing I need to know though, is are you going for SHOW or GO? you want fast, but you want looks too... you have to decide where to go first.

stickier is indeed a word at least as far as we are concerned.[sm=smiley8.gif] all the the hp in the world is useless if it's not kinetic see, we car guys can use edumakated words too.

Howdy all, if you just bought this 98' rs and need advice on easy GO mods...check out www.2gnt.com....is specifically for non-turbo 2nd generation eclipses and talons. They have a whole page dedicated to where to start on mods and such...really simple to navigate!
