You most have the most awfull traction problem of all time.

A 9.4 @87mph = A 14.66 @ 109.62mph

My advice to you is buy some slicks you 1/8th mile time should be in the low 8's.

i think we all have traction problems.. I wish there was a golden fix to the traction issues from these cars besides slicks.

gmhatr · 09-02-2004, 01:32 PM

ya but the reaction time is .888 and 2.8-3.1 60' time I peel till about mid 3rd gear.

When you make enough HP to trap 109 mph. Slicks are the only answer.

Drag radials are ok but even then you are cheating yourself out of ET.

Reaction time has nothing to do with your ET or mph.

I dont care how much HP you make a 2.8 60ft is drivers error.

Slicks will make you very happy. You could easily pull a 1.80 60ft. Every tenth you knock off of your 60 ft is worth 1 1/2 tenths at the end.

I dont care how much suspension work you do. There is no substitute for slicks.

88fivepointoh · 09-02-2004, 04:23 PM

i agree about the slicks.. I wish there was another way around it, but yea it is the answer...

200k5oh · 09-02-2004, 06:06 PM

i honestly dont think theirs even a super charger for the 4G (4cyl eclipse), the 6cyl however does have atleast 1 kit and they are also crawwlin junks. why build the 6cyl when you can do the turbo 4cyl.
if it is a turbo 4, first and second gen either gs-t, turbo fwd or gsx, turbo awd, it can be sitting stock and find 13's with a home made boost controller running 19lbs out of the stock turbo and a few other little things if ur smart.

jimdrechsler · 09-02-2004, 08:08 PM

his is a 6 banger and he has an intercooler for oil or something. he is getting the stage II for next year. he also has custom headers and full exhaust. looks like its done right. BUT he has no traction! we may go to track next friday for a friendly race.

88fivepointoh · 09-02-2004, 08:33 PM

go to delta sonic, get the 103 octane gas, and Please PLEASE kick his ass at the track.. Please.. put these import fanatics to bed. please.

bmxmon · 09-03-2004, 12:05 AM

those cars are running 12's and 13's stock?? Maybe i should buy an eclipse............haha, jk. Thats pretty dang quick though. I would guess though that they are paying a bit more for that then a mustang with mods would. Pretty cool thing about those that my small engines teacher was telling us. He was saying that "rice rockets" as he calls them, have to rev high to burn out, relying on their horsepower to make them spin. Kinda like a chain saw, you have to rev it high for it to cut wood, and keep it high, or it bogs down quickly. On muscle cars, you can burn out in lower rpm because the torque does it. Just thought that was kinda neat.

jimdrechsler · 09-03-2004, 08:54 AM

yeah the supercharger was like close to 4 grand it hink he said with the headers. i am thinking of getting one as one of my last modifications!! i think i can et a stage I vortech for under 3??

THe kid that owns it is a cool kid. if i win or he loses he wont be one that would make excuses or care really. which is cool!

88fivepointoh · 09-03-2004, 12:54 PM

Cool beans....

MidNiteBlu 5.0 · 09-04-2004, 01:50 AM

The new ones are POS's. Even with a supercharger I doubt it will run that great.

The older Turbocharged ones are the ones you have to look out for. It isnt uncommon for the Eclipse GSX/Talon TSi's to run mid/low 13's with just minor upgrades such as intake/exhuast and a boost controller.

You think its a coincidence that they all sound like weed whackers?

Back to the original subject, weed wackers in hand.

"How fast is an Eclipse with a supercharger?"

MY answer:

Traction or not, He's not nearly fast enough to play with us.

Fat0eknee · 09-04-2004, 07:29 PM

exactly unless he somehow got a gsx awd conversion and 18 pounds of boost he wont cause any problems

nastyn8 · 09-05-2004, 03:58 AM

Smoke his ass and smoke it good!!! I hate foreign cars. Especially an Eclipse. I wouldn't piss on one if it was on fire.
Good Luck!

88fivepointoh · 09-06-2004, 05:50 PM
