    This is loosely what my car would look like with the Bomber bumper and Cf hood wth the scoop. I already have those skirts. I'd rather not lose the little vent by the front wheel when i do the widebody, I'm guessing i should just move it? either way, the car would look pretty sweet.

    Here's a link to my build page.

    Finally put money on another motor for the Eclipse. once Friday gets here we'll go pick it up and hopefully order the balance shaft elimination kit. Then i get to wait for the new header, balance shaft delete kit and (hopefully) a new intake. I HATE the look of the stock tubing... THEN maybe we can drop it in. Think I'll look for a car for Sarah while i'm at it. I've just about had enough of the damned Accord...

    It's a four door, automatic, champagne colored and needs a little work. Plus, it's not mine or Sarah's And i never had much love for the Accord. I'd rather an EG6 or EK hatch, NSX or Del Sol.. We want something sporty. She wants an Eclipse, Mustang or 3000GT (in that order of precedence.) I'd rather she get a 3000 so i can do the whole RHD and VR4 swap. But i guess a 4G Eclipse isn't too bad... lol

    I had an older accord and loved it but yes the Ek hatch is actually number one on my list of cars I have ever wanted. For some reason I never thought I would have one due to everyone jacking up the prices on them but I got a project. I like your ideas on the 3000GT (GTO) that would be pretty awesome to do the rhd on one. Sorry I cant really be on the same page with getting a mustang though,lol unless of course it was a nbrand new shelby cobra for some reason I like them a lot.

    If we settle for a Mustang ( I kinda like them too) I'll shoot for getting her a GT, Black with Silver stripes and Black leather. Then i'll ask to 'borrow' it. lol. Mustangs aren't ALL bad, just the V6's. lol. I think the GTO conversion would be killer. Plus, can you really argue with a twin turbo V6 AWD car? I think not. lol

    Hell, the first gen even has automatic adjusting chin and rear spoilers, as well as self adjusting shocks.

    Woohoo! the Missus just approved me to get a new intake and balance shaft elimination kit. So as it stands, i have a header, Intake and balance shaft delete kit coming. Wish i could get the CF hood and a new bumper... Now i gotta bust my butt and try finding her an Eclipse or GTO. (my car will still stomp hers. I'm freeing up about another 20 HP lol)

    Well it is definitely not there because of the sticker it is most likely due to the fact that it is a Malibu, lol.

    more like my own stupidity and rushing things. lol. What happened was the intake gasket went and my antifreeze mixed with the oil on my way to my auto mechanics class. once there i pulled the intake and drained the crank case. then one of the guys accidentally knocked a bolt down the crank sensor hole, causing me to go underneath and retreive it. due to the fact that all the antifreeze mixed with the oil i decided to check a couple of rod bearings to make sure they were ok. thats where i ran into problems. I must not have tightened one right and had to rush the engine back together. in the end i called a shop to come get it and put it back together for me since i was leaving for basic training in a few days. i forgot to tell them about the rod caps. it knocked on start up and when i got it to an ex-girlfriends house so her dad could work on it, i had to move the car by running the engine. the motor seized on me.

    I have no idea why, but for some reason I've been thinking about this bumper tied in with a wide body. Does it look good, or just stick with the one i have?



    I'm kind of thinking stick with the Bomber.
