Yeah, I think it's the same guy. This dude just sold his 3 for an AWD GSX. Bad car, but ugly car.

A hell of a lot...took my friend's dad's new R32 for a spin last weekend. The pull on that car is insane, beautiful finish as well. You can read my review here:

wellguys hate to say this but more boost and complete exhaust will make it beat a r32. cuz my friends runs very high 13's stock. and hes only got 40 more hp fromt he factory then i do.so new turbomanifold,downpipe,complete 3 inch exhaust and turning the psi up will handle a R32. escpeciall if i have nothin but my drivers seat, dash and carpet and door panels.

i got a better idea get ze, headers, exhaust, intake, and stand alone ecu. that should put it much closer. Stand alone systems get rid of your vaf setup:D lots more power to be tuned into ur car.
oh wait you said eclipse.... stronger drive train and more power

Well guys i went and raced my friend in his r32. he beat me the first time and i came home removed my stock cat and ran 2.5 inch out the back and put a k&n air filter and beat his 1/4 mile time.
When he beat me when i was completely stock he ran a 14.4. I went to the track last saturday night after my exhaust work and k&n filter and ran a 14.3 at 99.08 mph on bad plugs and in need of an oil change. So im gonna give my eclipse a tune up and get a boost controller and see how bad i can beat the breaks off that r32. later guys.

Why in the world would you race a turbo charged car, or any car for that matter, that is badly in need of an oil change? Crankwalk anyone???Originally posted by BucktownMx3:
