  • Eclipse turbo burned not once not twice but three times

    First off let me say my girlfriend hates when I race people when she is in the car.
    So anyway we are coming back from a college film fest movie thing.
    I get stuck at a light, when a 97ish or 98ish eclipse pulls up next to me, I thought it was just a stock one at first. Checked it out it had rims, then looked inside and saw his a pillar gauges. Just about that time he revved it. Not to be out done I revved back louder.

    Then light turns green, 1st run he just spun his tires really bad, I spun mine a bit too much too, not my best launch but better than his. BEat him by alot that time.

    Next light, we both came to a stop and a second later the light turns, now after this light is a long straight before you hit another light. This launch I did pretty good and so did he. His bumper was at my drivers side door, but once I got into second I pulled on him, I was just under 90 when I shut down and hit the breaks and he was 2 or 3 cars back.

    3rd light I ask if it's a stock turbo, he said yes. Light changes and we go at it again for 1 block and i was like 1 car ahead. Then the next lgiht was green but we were behind other cars. He asks "what you got in it" I say "just a litte 6"
    And we give each other the head nod as his lane starts going a bit faster.

    His back bumper gets to my front bumper, and I was going to switch lanes and follow him when I look over my shoulder and see a cop. So I speed up just a bit to jump in front of the car on the other side of me, then signal right, and bust down a side street.

    It's bad enough to get beat 3 times, but to get a ticket on top of that, ouch.

    I hope the cop was gentle cause the guy didn't seem 1/2 bad. And his car wasn't ricy, it was very tastefully done from what I could see.

        It means risking the life of someone who doesn't want it risked his RETARDED. Besides, do you love this girl? is she important to you? what happens when you **** up and she gets hurt. I have no problem with racing, but I never would race with my GF in the car.

          Yeah I love her.
          And no she isn't scared for her life, she just thinks I'm going to get arrested. True I almost might have gotten a ticket or car impounded, etc.
          And if it had gotten to the point where we were having to dodge cars, no of coarse I wouldn't have done that with her in the car. I'm talking about a 5 lane one way street, where the only cars were behind us.

                I'm not really sure...
                I just bought it recently, I'm pretty sure it has an aftermarket exhaust, I haven't crawled under it to inspect it. Rims with 245/50/16front and 255/50/16rear. The thermostat I suspect is a 180degree that's where my needle stays all the time, unless this is normal stock. And possible something was done with the EGR, or it could just be malfunctioning there is a whole 'nother thread on that. Honestly I'd really like to know what is or isn't on the car, but I'm no mechanic and have no clue how to know for sure.
