props! that is quite an extensive mod list on the Eclipse, what do you have planned for the 8?

by the way, you should loose the license plate bracket on the front

dsm_alpha

ya license plate frame is already off the car, did that a couple days after I got the car. The 8 is gonna be a daily driver for a bit, and I wanna get used to the car and learn more about the rotary before really modding it. Eventually prob set it up more as an auto-x car than power, the eclipse is much easier to get power out of
