My friend had a '00 GT V6 10th Anniversary that he turbo'd. It was a decent car, faster then mine, but nothing over the top. His car was just totaled about a month ago from being rear ended. He know has a S2000. Also, another guy I know that was actully bringing my first friend to get his S2k had his turbo'd 3rd gen catch on fire and burn down. It kinda remined me of 3rd gen RX7s.

BTW, your car looks clean.

Thanks guys. I would probably buy the GT version, old one was an RS. Only paid $14998 for it brand new.

Nicely done Eclipse. That design is much better than the
current one IMHO.

I would have actually purchased an Eclipse if I didn't have the budget for an IS.

But then, maybe not, because I heard that they don't last as long as they look.
