So ive decided to start a build thread to gauge my progress. I still have a lot to learn but im motivated because im tired of paying other people to work on my car when i can be doing it myself and also for more satisfaction. i helped out putting on my suspension and brakes so ive learned quite a bit. its actually not that difficult as long as you do it in the right steps.

as my title states my goal is to have an autocross worthy car and maybe in the distant future a car for road racing. so far i have just done the suspension and brakes.

right now i have a 2nd gen eclipse turbo but im thinking im going to sell it and just get a used greddy 15g turbo kit and rebuild the turbo

parts already on the car:

tein green springs
kyb shocks
si rear discs new rotors and pads
ex knuckles new rotors and pads
7/8ths master cylinder stock brake booster
wheel bearings
ball joints
drags wrapped in cheap tires for now
new battery FTW

parts i have:
exedy stage 1 clutch
garrett t25 from 2nd gen eclipse
y8 transmission
d15b head
y8 block with spun bearing (got it for free not sure if im going to use or not)

parts i need: ( if you have any of these parts let me kno!!)
p28 ecu
some kind of tuning device (not sure what im going to use yet)
greddy soch kit
running z6 block
head gasket, im gasket, belts, hoses, etc.

here are some pics from a while back ill update them tomorrow i now have stock headlights and no lip (someone stole it lol, i ended up liking it better without it...)





only question i have is will the stage 1 clutch hold up on a greddy turbo kit?? im only looking to get 180-200 hp on a stock block.

 

"Stage 1" doesn't really mean anything. How much power is that clutch rated to hold?

 

Those springs are pretty soft to be autoX'ng on them.

 

if its gonna be auto-x you need to concentrate on handle & suspension before you make power

most important suspension upgrades is better shocks and springs and a rear sway bar

 

Most important thing is seat time!

You need to drive the car to figure out what you want it to do for you.

You are going to find the limits of those springs pretty quick.
