if its not a turbo then dont worry about it.

My eclipse has just about everything you could possibly have done to it. I dont want to list them all so i will just list major ones
upgraded turbo
ported/polished head w/all ARP head studs, head bolts, HKS metal head gasket
evo engine swap
stand alone managment system
3 inch turbo back exhaust w/ no cat
2 3/4 inch intercooler piping

you get the idea. Im pretty sure my yfz would kick its butt in 1/8 mile since im only front wheel drive. But i know the car would win in the 1/4

Do you have the body modded too? Or is it a sleeper?
That's a sweet car. The Eclipse has always been my favorite import car.

i kno i dont have a Yami but i have raced a Caprice w/ a 305 engine,a chevy truck,a dodge ram,i 03 toyota carolla,nissan sentra,and a 400ex,the only 1 who came close to me in 500ft was the 400ex,we ended up neck and neck,if we would have raced further he would have got me slighty on top end

I raced a awd eclipes with alot of mods not sure of the exact build...but we raced about 500ft I toyed with him most of the length but but right when I was shifting to 4th I clutched hard and pasted the finish line on the back wheeles[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I've also raced a cj5 w/a 327 on a muddy hill climb...but now that I have some hoosiers for the back I'm really looking forward to spanking some imports "I really can't stand cars with coffee can mufflers I think import cars sound like poop...no offence to import drivers it's just not my thing"

IMPORTS ARE THE BIGGEST FLUKE I HAVE EVER SEEN DO YOU PEOPLE KNOW HOW SLOW YOU ARE REALLY GOING AND HOW STUPID YOU LOOK WITH ONE OF THOS BIG WINGS ON THE BACK

I raced my 02 Trail Blazer with my Stock Raptor and Smoked it in a 1/8. Then in a 1/4 there so close. I have also raced a new Grand Prix GT and the same results but I also beat it in a 1/4 by about 2 quad lengths. We then lined the Trail Blazer and that up and the Trail Blazer beat the Grand Prix pretty easy. Trail Blazers are fast for SUV's

Also raced a Jaguar XJ8 or whatever and beat him in a 1/8 but not even close in a 1/4 he smoked me. But I had to bust my Sled out and smoke him because it pi**ed me off

i agree, a kid on the bus thinks imports are the best thing ever. The fastest import at a local track only went like 60mph in the 1/8, while my dad's f-150 4x4 with flowmasters ran 65 mph. A kid on my bus thinks there's no way a banshee can keep up with an import, even though i'm turning 7.9s in the 1/8 at over 80mph.
