Spotted on my way back to work. You'd think there'd come a point when you'd look at a vehicle and decide you were afraid to drive it...

I saw this specimen driving around in Wilmington, MA the other night and first thing that came to mind was "pfft, that's stupid." then seconds later "That's the best looking 4g eclipse I've ever seen." Still incredibly ugly and stupid, but the best looking of an ugly bunch nonetheless.  So I did a something search to see if I could find a similarly tarted up eclipse for the thread and lo and behold I found the actual car, and the guy's "build" thread on his car club's website. Enjoy. http://club4g.org/board/members-rides/30540-khaostactics-biohazard.html bonus pic:

veedubfreak posted:Adding a ton of weight and spending a stupid amount of money on an item that really does take away one of the largest aspects of an old car really does alter the major factor of owning an old car. And honestly I do somewhat feel the same way about some of these old rear end cars that are basically nothing but a brand new car with the shell of an antique put on top of them. As you said, 100% coverage is excessive, which covers the weight point. Other products that do the same job cheaper addresses the cost point. Not all cars are about engine noise, not all nvh reduction is about silencing the car. Sometimes it's reducing the myriad rattles and buzzes inherent in the design of the panel work. I'm not mad, should I have used smiles to indicate this?

I feel like there's no reason not to stick some technology in it to keep it from sounding like a small plane. I have a 51 ford coupe body over a 96 s10 and it has plenty of generic sound dampening biz in it. before it sounded like it was ready to take off, now it just sounds like a throaty v6, because that's what it is. I agree that spending $$$ on dynamat(TM) is needless considering there isn't anything special about it compared to other similar materials but I'm all for being able to listen to the stereo without turning it up to 110.

I knew I shouldn't have clicked on that "build" link, but I did. Good to know his first "mods" were this: "Couple of months in and I put my first mods on, Gas cap and matte black tails."  Then, I noticed the scissor jack holding up the car while changing springs.

And it looks like there's a red jackstand laying on its side underneath the motor, probably borrowed from that truck in the back.

Well granted the clear ones it came with, like most clear taillights were pretty awful. Which is odd, because aftermarket tails almost ALWAYS look shittier than the stock ones.

Oh god it doesn't stop. The dual spoiler/wing, the other Eclipse with a moustache and a loving banana sticking out of the grille, and then I saw the guy was around 19/20 when he started doing all of this. It made sense. EDIT: He sold it actually a few weeks ago. Now he has a Z28 and a "Swevo". Can someone with more car jargon know-it-all chime in with what the heck that is?

Sorry, but how the gently caress does this exist for more than a day on a public road? Doesn't a cop drive past this and laugh loudly before pulling this over and having it towed?
