KeeleDesign : 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX

Then I'll look stupid!

Most people DO think it's RWD... mainly because that would make more sense. A 3600lb car with 240hp and 280lb-ft stock is not very well suited to a FWD drivetrain! If the car was RWD, I would really love it. For now... I consider it my beater.

[KeeleDesign]

Were the cars that got 30mpg AWD or FWD? FWD I could definitely see, as MRX managed to get about 32mpg with his turbo F22 (driving mainly out of boost). I know most AWD cars get lousy gas mileage in stock form, let alone when they're making double the horsepower! I suppose tuning can help a good deal in that area, though. Still, the STi, which weighs only a little more than the AWD DSMs, makes 300hp, and is AWD turbo, only gets about 19-21mpg! .)

yeah, they are identical to my setup, awd 1000 cc injectors evo3 and so on.. making around 400 whp at 30 mpg when not WOT. so lets pray i can master my tuning abilities.. We are going out today to perform an all day road tuning session.

carbon creation makes this vis style c/f hood that i will be getting in the future



bad news to you deev and to all, mostly to me..

The redline atf has done something majorly wrong to my tranny... this is not good at all. it's overheating and now slipping. I am far from impressed.. now i have to buy $88 worth of AMSoil and flush the tranny and hope it's still salvageable... i dunno... i am frustrated by all means..

if i cannot get it to relive i have anotherone someone on a forum is gona sell me for $250 plus shipping..
if i have to do this i will be purchasing these iteams from this site.

A/T boost controller..
Vary shift firmness instantly with the turn of a dial! The A/T Boost Controller works by intercepting the signal between the TCU and transmission, thereby giving the driver the ability to select the shift quality that is appropriate for the given driving conditions. This 3 inch X 4 inch black box can be mounted in the cockpit or under the hood and provides the user with four different levels of shift feel. The A/T Boost Controller works in conjunction with a shift kit, a performance transmission or as a stand alone unit with no other modifications.

and as of now i have a larger tranny cooler on it's way.

I know this stuff is pricey and i really don't wanna let go of all that money,, but the only good part is for the most part the tranny will be alot stronger and last for a verry long time. shifting how i always wanted it to.
needless to say this is not what i wanted and i am pissed at redline right now. 1 of 2 things happend,, they sent me the wrong stuff or.... a freak nature accident a snake or some animal crawled up in my tranny and did this....
i dunno i have alot of thinking to do.

update:
flushed the tranny again, and replaced with amsoil and so far everything is fine, we'll see after a 2 week trial period.

this big intercooler is causing heat problems that i am working on right now.

tonight i removed the cruise control and have to get a non cruise throttle cable for her. i cut the front bumper more open and hacked the reinforce ment so now the entire intercooler is getting air, as is alot more stuff.

this weekend i will be removing all the egr and evap canister and stuff... the cel will be thrown but i'll tell the comp not to search for it AND RECALIBRATE ANYTHING IF NESICARRY sorry bout the caps...

I have been blacking alot of stuff out. and have her running really strong, I'm gona be racing a buddy of mine who just got a wrx sti. this weekend we're gona go at it.

[KeeleDesign]

just got to searching the website my boss bought the parts for this car,, quick link to slowboy racing the intercooler was $900 the dnp header was $600 thats crazzy... no tellin how much really was invested..

[CoPilot1]

there have been a few guys on SQC that used redline, the 5spd guys had good luck with it, the auto guys not so much

[KeeleDesign]

dude, it's like it didn't have the right consistancy for my tranny... a buddy of mine with an audi s4 highly modified, used it in his 6 spd and didn't like it either, and it smelt burnt when replaced... i was unaware of all this or i wouldn't ever have bought it.

[KeeleDesign]

tonight just got done removing all the egr valve and charcole canister, etc.. all the emissions stuff... walked out and bam we had 8 inches of snow and ice... so i went to the local hang out plaza for 21/2 hrs doing donuts and flying around taking turns with all the trucks out their... i was the only car out all night, and i was getting places others couldn't even attempt lol... it was fun but the cops told us to stop..., i even went home got my wife and went back out. lol

[KeeleDesign]

[Smokinspeeds]
