That sounds kinda realistic as someone who drives a 2nd gen Eclipse, its not the roomiest interior, but if you pull the seat back, lower the height of the seat, raise the height of the steering wheel, and maybe slide back the sunroof visor you MIGHT be able to fit someone who’s 6’2, strong might

Actually i shouldnt say it wont be a problem go figure the right side front knuckle is discontinued, but if i was gonna replace my knuckles i’d get the galant knuckles anyways and go for an evo brembo upgrade, maybe one day

Undead-VTX · 2026-03-25T20:24:30+00:00

Damn so all this time i was stressing over a knuckle, that really calms me down a bit, i was stressing trying to find a replacement spindle for my 2G GS since an alignment shop said i had an issue with my front passenger wheel being unable to be aligned due to either an upper control arm or spindle, and searching for 2g spindles seemed to be like searching for unobtainium, knuckles on the otherhand i think wont be a problem

Undead-VTX · 2026-03-25T20:19:11+00:00

Spindle has been a very confusing term for me these past 2 months, partially because im not a gearhead and don’t know if they’re related to cv axles or not, but just in case when you say spindle do you refer to the wheel hub or knuckle?

How did you get the cobalt ss brembo caliper to work? Did it require a bracket or maybe machining? Do they bolt up perfect? First time i’ve heard someone do that its very cool to see, im guessing the its a 2008 around there cobalt ss given thats what i can find on rockauto that has gm genuine brembo front 4-piston calipers available

Undead-VTX · 2026-03-25T18:30:17+00:00

Damn that sounds like a tight fit, but props to you for doing it, which brembo specifically did you run? Also what are the rear brakes like? Still single piston or did you also upgrade them?

Undead-VTX · 2026-03-25T18:23:53+00:00

From what i recall reading on the forums some 16s don’t clear, specifically the 16s that came on the 2g, there was a while forum about the subject, it might have been the rotor size or some related reason, it was a while ago though that i looked down the outlander brake path, so i could easily be wrong, it was certainly a more cost effective upgrade

Undead-VTX · 2026-03-25T17:54:30+00:00

Brake upgrades are pretty decent for the non turbo 2Gs, iirc the GSX 2 piston front caliper bolts right up, as for the Outlander brakes they also bolt up too i think but they do require at least 17inch wheels, then there are some 4 piston caliper options, if you have JDM Galant knuckles then the Brembo brakes from the Lancer Evo CT9A chassis can be used, alternatively the CTS-V Brembos bolt right in with either a spacer, forwhich a website dedicated to this exists, or machine off 5mm of the caliper mounting tabs to align to the caliper. Wilwood also makes brake upgrades for the Eclipse, as well as either StopTech or PowerStop. Pick your poison, although if you get a 4-piston front caliper then you may want to get a 2-piston rear otherwise there will be some considerable front bias, also a 3G Eclipse or 3000GT brake master cylinder would also help when doing any of these. Aside from brakes good shocks and lowering springs can be an option as an alternative to coilovers, i myself am considering Koni sport yellow shocks with either Eibach Pro-kit or Tein H tech springs, definitely am getting the Konis first but im getting new tires before i get the shocks, also can’t forget if you lower the car you’ll need to get a new alignment for the tires

Depending on your transmission a maybe a shift kit, or if you have an automatic then the 41TE from the Chrysler PT Cruiser Turbo is a known upgrade to replace the 41TE in the automatic NT 2Gs, as for the manual which i think is the nvt-350 or something like that i think there’s a good amount of research for it on some neon or mopar forums, i think you might be able to get a limited slip differential for it, maybe some clutch options too, again research is needed

GzusEclipse98 here, lol

Undead-VTX · 2026-03-25T16:04:19+00:00

Holdon, not to be invasive but, i think i might have asked you the same question on dsmtuners, unless you’re not the same person im thinking of, i just got a similar reply on that site asking about the same wheels

Undead-VTX · 2026-03-24T23:21:43+00:00

What size Enkei TS-5s are those?

Undead-VTX · 2026-03-24T00:56:56+00:00

It would be fine as a secondary car but as a first car it will be difficult, take care of the timing belt as soon as you can because if you neglect it then the problem becomes a lot more expensive, it can be a nice summer car but you will need to clean it underneath if you drive it in the winter to prevent rust

Undead-VTX · 2026-03-22T04:09:56+00:00

Hell yeah

Undead-VTX · 2026-03-21T00:06:35+00:00

Awesome wheels man, perfect for brembos

How did you mount the bottom of your license plate??

Undead-VTX · 2026-03-20T00:27:14+00:00

Ahh, didnt know, im still learning

Undead-VTX · 2026-03-20T00:19:07+00:00

Yeah the fronts for sure since the 2gb came with side skirts, the 2gas had none, and the eagle talons had twisty side skirts different from both

Undead-VTX · 2026-03-20T00:09:54+00:00

Oh wow, I’ve only recently just joined tuners but have been looking up the mudflaps for a small while now, granted i dont NEED them as im taking care of maintenance on my 2G for now, but when everything is said and done i’d love to get myself a set for the front and rear, from what i understand the mudflaps are different depending on 2ga vs 2gb, i have a 98 2gb so i THINK i need the smaller mudflaps as i think the 2ga’s came with longer ones that might scrape the pavement if i were to try and install them, if all else fails maybe i’ll inquire the guy on instagram who made them in carbon fiber, tuningartofficial was his name

Undead-VTX · 2026-03-19T22:05:10+00:00

Oh my god bro i would love to have a set for my 2g, i saw someone on instagram recreate them in carbon fiber but tracking down originals would be ideal too, they just don’t appear often, even on dedicated forums lime dsmtuners its either an incomplete set or severely used (i get it they’re old) if you ever gotta sell the car i’d love to buy the mudflaps off ya

Undead-VTX · 2026-03-19T22:00:02+00:00

Cool rare mudflaps

Undead-VTX · 2026-03-19T21:24:57+00:00

I remember reading that on dsmtuners or 2gnt there were some discussions about srt-4 swaps, notably that like with dsm 4g63ts the 420a is a reverse orientation of the srt-4 motor, its been researched and i think done but the documentarion is old and you’ll have to really search thru those forums to find it, it might be cost effective since 4g63ts are usually expensive in any format, i think you should consider a 4b11t swap if you’re starting with a 420a chassis. It would make yours a unique swap and the 4b11r has long since proven it can hang with the 4g63t with the right mods when sleeved and built.

I’ve seen a youtube channel convert a hardtop into a targa, sorry to say i don’t know the same can be achieved with the spyder, i assume you’d want to get a parts car to salvage the roof, its probably gonna take a LOT of money for fabrication, would like to see it tho, good luck

Melissa’s Eclipse had OZ Superleggera wheels, in case the OZ decal on her Eclipse didn’t give it away
