My girl and I's friend in Spring Hill has a black Eclipse, which I rode in and took some photos of, man it's freaking quick. Hopefully he'll join here and he can explain his setup better than I.

Here's the pics!

I agree. Most 3rd gens look like piles of crap.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. Its an 03 GT sportronic. Here's a little info on my setup.
A.A.I. Turbonetics T4 turbo kit
A.A.I. Front Mount Intercooler
Turbonetics Evolution Wastegate (Recirc)
Turbonetics Raptor BOV
A.A.I. Manual Boost Controller
Greddy E-Manage
440cc injectors
Rezlo custom highstall torque converter
Mazda Miata battery
62mm Rebored Throttlebody
Magnecore wires
Deyeme front and rear MM
Tranny cooler
3inch Injen SES catback exhaust
AGX KYB shocks
Eibach prokit springs
Nitto Extreme NT555 235/40 18
Greddy 60mm boost/oil pressure/EGT gauges
OZ Crono evolution lightweight 18in rims

Here's my current dyno numbers @9.5psi on a junkyard motor. Original one is being fully built and expected to make atleast 600whp.

There is still room for improvement at that boost level but my engine started making a ticking sound so we left it at that. Later on we realized it was because the car was a quart low on oil due to a bad oil seal in the turbo burning up oil. Im going to have that fixed friday and redyno it @ 12psi and attempt to beat the national 3g auto 1/4 mile record of a 12.95 that was made by a supercharged eclipse with pistons and nitrous running 363whp @ 18psi.

If your referring to the slight damage I have thats all thanks to some jackass woman driver in orlando who instead of making a u-turn decided to cut across a fiew lanes and barrel ass into a abc liquor parkinglot

Handles as good as it can on full aftermarket suspension. But ofcourse fwd cars ALWAYS suffer from understeer
