damn that will be so awsome. get some video!!

[jayi12-15psi]

well, if your specs are the same for the eclipse as in the states, I believe it has about 200 hp, compared to your 255. I don't think there would be too much of a weight difference.

[Insanity-74]

It wont be a problem for you Bud, you`ll beat him easily. Video footage would be good to see. Let us know how it goes.

a '99 eclipse GSX is AWD, and the GS-T has same exact motor (same stats) but it is FWD, i assume he is talking about the GSX

[rockstarbass1]

eclipse gsx is the same thing as a talon tsi. and it being awd will give him the advantage, especially on the launch.

[popstar]

ok the Talon tsi, as i understand your saying is a turbo and AWD !!!!!
with what 200bhp ??

And my GT-4 turboed 255bhp !!!!!!!!

is a JMD eclipse/talon the same ? anyone know ?

Thanks mate

hey i did the bridging of the intercooler and but the box in the front arch was already removed........... 6 tanks of benzin and i've seen no change in fuel or proformance....... so my baby was already bridged somewhere or need some work somewhere else !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[prompt]

a 97-99 GSX is about 100lbs lighter then the 95-96. I have a 96 GSX and they run 14.8's. If he is a good driver and has the 97-99 he should be able to run a 14.5, but if he has fe/i/bc then i would say your gonna lose.

the GT-4 is also AWD with more HP and torque, so there is no way the talon(eclipse) could take him, unless of course you REALLY suck at shifting, lol.

[darksecret]

I've owned and hang out with people that have DSMs, they're easy to mod but if the Eclipse is stock you'll smoke it, but if he put a 16G on it you might lose or tie.

[rockstarbass1]

well most of the time if they have the 16g turbo, they have more done then just that (well the guy i know with one does) and his is fast. but i dont know much about cleicas seeing i just got mine, and this forum is a lil smaller then other so im learning slowly

popstar

there is no such thing as a JDM eclipse/talon

they were all made in the USA for the USA

the 95-99 models have 210hp when stock, the 90-94 are 180hp i think

[darksecret]

I think the GSX and TSi AWD had about 10 more horsepower also to compensate for the added weight. (Like 10 hp will make a difference with 300 lbs.)

[dustin15brown]

If you don't smash him you need to do the following.... turn off the car, get out, grab an evelope, write my address on it, and give me the keys to your car

you lie. I had no clue they were only released in the states. So what, the Lancer was all Mitsu had over there?

wow. no wonder the eclipse was such a piece, it's made in the US.

You`ll only see a difference if there was a problem in the first place. Check your error codes and see what comes up - slightly off topic there, noone else will know what we are on about.
Good luck with the Eclipse (not that you`ll need it), hope you show him the way home.
