I've always like those wheels he's got. Christina, you have the best looking year of dsm by far. Plus you got a good color. Just ditch those stock bling wheels. Black wheels w/ a polished lip and window tint and your car would look evil.

I dont know. those black wheels with polished lip are too commonly done now. You have to find a rim that no one else has. that way you are unique

Very possible Chris. As for a 2nd gen Eclipse it's difficult to be unique in a popular car. Try being unique in a Civic, I guarantee you somebody somewhere has an identical car.

I bought a beater with a heater today. It will get me around since I pulled the motor fully out of my GTP today. I had replaced the chipped piston in the front....never realized there was one in the back. It shattered while on the drag strip. then bout a halfway down the track...the rod went through the oil pan. you can follow my oil marks for a good eighth mile down the strip. I did however get 2 runs in before this. first run was a 13.69(bad launch), and then the second I got a 13.46.(drag radials) On the last run I managed a 2.02 60ft...then boom My parents told me I am on my own for this one...I dont get a dime. I am doing my turbo swap, turbo S2 cam, OR pushrods,roller lifters, MLS head gaskets, ARP everything. I'm taking my time on this, doing everything right. I'm even buying the diamond forged pistons that have been coated....instead of the stock hyperneutectic bullshit. I am happy!!! I can build my car the way I want!!!! and it is under way!!!! My GTP will be down for I'm guessing 3-4months. I'm doing everything I want on it. when I go to tune it...I'm using local dyno shop. they are cutting me a huge deal. 60bux hourly unlimited runs. this thing will be prime. I do have pics of the blown motor.....will post soon. anyways my beater: 1990 Plymouth Laser RS Turbo Red, body near flawless 5 spd 123,600 miles on it new clutch/brakes/tires/belts all stock except for a K&N cone, and a T2 turbo I bought off a friend out here for cheap. He bought his car he always wanted. I will have pics up tomarrow. Best part about buying it off your friend....I have done most of the matinence on it...and I get it for 500 bux. I drove it today.....turbo is LOUD. I cant wait till I get it in my GTP. when the GTP gets up and goin again. Laser will be in for a full list of upgrades. I admit, this thing was, or is faster than my GTP with the 3.4 pulley and intake. I cant believe how quick this thing is!!! Ben, you and I will have to race when I come back out. ahh heck. the other Ben as well!!!

You bought a plymouth laser as a beater? I would suggest you sell it as quickly as possible, because you now have 2 cars with potential that will SWOLLOW all your money.

yeah, you say it has 123k miles, is near flawless, but its a beater? sounds more like a serious car than that thing you call a pontiac...i say this laser is your car, and the gtp is now your beater...

I know I'll be sucked in. here are pics of my blown motor: this was an under car....after it was towed home. this was fluid around front exhaust manifold. oil/coolant/gas mixed had to show a preview of the turbo in the bay motor stripped. all that was left..was drain coolant. liquid on the starter...........more in the back Motor was taken out today, and tore down. I will have those pics soon

DAMn that sucks...wheres the hole in the block, and yeah that turbo doesnt look too bad, but ive seen the way you drive, you have enough foot in there to blow yourself up...the turbo might be the best or the worst thing you can do for that car....good luck witht he new engine...
