Ive posted pics in the "post your car pic page" thread since aquiring this car a little over a year ago showing progress of my tear down and rebuild in all aspects of the car.

Im not gonna repost all the pics Ive already shown you, but you can see them all in chronological order in a few places

Add me to facebook or follow me on Instagram, I'll add you and follow as well (robstar666)

Here are some pics of the latest developments of my money pit

Beautiful but I still liked your 1G better I followed you on instagram tho!

My 1g was a hack compared to the attention to detail you will never even see that I have put into this build. Its been a long haul but when its done, it will not only look good, but it should be able to handle some pretty intense punishment The final phase will be finalizing the eclipse conversion. Paint and hole filling I can smell the finish line. Its close.

I'm just biased to 1g's haha. I've been watching since your tear down and I'm thoroughly impressed at what your doing It will be all worth It when you get that big smile on your face during the first test drive

Rob beautiful work, definitely liking the sexy shoe setup!! I am looking at doing some gold calipers too, wish mine could be brembo though

*crank
*sputter....sputter.....sputter.....
BANG!
Fire
Extinguish fire with tears

But really, I'm sure that won't happen. lol

Still want to see this in person on stands or on rubber.

Finally started one of these! Follow our blog to watch Rob and I complete for who is most OCD on there projects.

Nice! Will the paint on the Fuel assembly stop it from rusting/corroding?

Mike, you've been OCD on you project for years, it'll never be done!!!

Rob, car is looking great.

It's powder, and I'm sure it will last at least another 10 years with no corrosion

This is the only car that comes to my mind if I ever bought a car magazine featuring a 2g DSM. Well, this car and Ron Korolak's.

Amazing work Rob

Awesome job on this thing from the pics we have!! I can only imagine the time and sweat in this

Ever seen John Freund's 2g?

It's been really nice to see someone put the time and dedication into it that you do Rob. There are far, far more hack job dsm's out there sadly but there are a few of us who have the passion and resources to do it right the first time.

Hopefully you bring get out to the shootout with this, I want to see it in person.

I haven't seen that car in person, but I followed the build thread on Tuners. What a car.

Just because Rob's a huge picture whore, doesn't mean he's got the only clean DSM around

I'll see the success in these these projects ONLY after I see them run...... properly

Seriously, I could get to work with a media blaster, powder coating gun and a camera , but honestly I got more faith in Rob than Mike D

can never have to many clean and fast 2G's!!!

Fair enough Reza

Engine bay the day I first tore into it.

Should of cept the talon bumpers....IMO

Are you gonna remove the talon Trim on the doors?

I dont want a talon, other wise i would have kept them.

Full conversion meaning, YES, removing trim from doors, filling hatch holes and gsx high rise wing.

Too bad Ryan...er I mean Rob! LOL

Sorry man, I love 1G talons, but nothing in my eyes is sexier or more desirable than a 2GB Eclipse. Its been (in a sad way) a dream car of mine for a while.

Guess there are more mods than just me who can see your terrible ability to write the English language. LOL!

Rob did you maintain factory crash beam at the rear? Are you going to change the airbag to a Mitsubishi logo'd bag?

You guy's are gonna give Jay a complex. Looks really good Rob. Even though I am a 1gb lover.

Looks pretty much the same as it does now. Can't see why it's taken you so long







Kidding, of course, but gotta say once again - what a beauty! Just waiting to actually see/hear her run one of these days!

I did use the crash beam had to make some brackets to hold the bumper in place on the top and under side so it sits at the right height and is not floppy at bottom

I Also have a complete black 99 gsx interior, from dash, door skins, seats, and belts, and of course the air bag ( and I even have rare black leather 99 spyder visors )

Is that the only thing which makes them rare? couldn't you just grab some black leather at a fabric store and put it on?

I could have, but I didnt,

Lol you guys.

Are the spyders visors the same dimensions as the hard tops? Typivally, soft tops, have smaller visors, smaller windshields too I think.

I absolutely love the attention to detail on your car Rob.
I seriously want to do the same with mine but right now I just want to drive the damn thing instead of spending more money.

The hardest part about owning a DSM is defining cut-off points of modifications for a season. Last year I faltered and ended up with too long of a list I didn't get back into her until June.

This year, I should be earmarked for early April!

POLL:

Yes OR No......





MIGHT I ADD, this mod would be purely functional, even though I think it would look good as well, pointing DIRECTLY at the upper rad hose.

Purpose??

In case you want to see what it looks like installed on a 2gb:









It's on the wrong side, but at least it'll give you an idea. I actually thought of doing that very thing to direct the air into my intake box, but I'm very weary in cutting bits of my car up. It does look good though and will work in directing air where you want it.

I like it.

PS, thanks G.

NP, the guy in the pic used rivets to bolt it down in case you were wondering. Figured it would help since his exterior is almost the same as yours.

Edit: Oh and notice why I used my body kit for that specific reason

(yeah I know it's a kit, but it works incredibly great for what I need it to do).

Im not so worried about intake temps but rather heat soak. I carved out the floor under the air filter a little bigger, and Im going to use your valuable tutoring on making a box info for the containment of the intake. IMO, its enough.

Your kit does a nice clean job of covering the rad air flow issue i think

So keeping coolant temps down on track days are on my mind with the build coming to an end. I have to finish these ideas now while the car is down and I have the space to experiment and execute.

EDIT, he could have at least used black rivets....ya?
