ill buy this off u for the 500 u paid for it plus the 6 k for the parts u picked up lol 6500 would be worth it in my mind to make it look good i would ditch the fast and furious look though just do to i dont like replica of cars but in all this would a good looking car in all black or dark black charry paint
Freddy I freaking love you as content creator but man oh man you have a lot to learn from samscrac segues, ps keep up with the weekly videos love your vids
"Do you see any problem here?" We got no engines Ted" 😂
What do I need to do to accelerate my hair loss? Just buy a bunch of "project" cars?

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.
#Facts i was there he paid cash
Motec System exhaust XD
Oh look, it's 2019, so good to see you again
Haha motec exhaust. And remember he wants it all now.

Tavarish: "Nothing on this car is screen accurate." Also Tavarish: "I want it to be perfect." Still Tavarish: "All these inaccurate parts I bought are close enough."
Yeah… 😂🤷🏻♂️
My thoughts exactly.. wtf lol 😆
Right??? Haha what a turkey
Rich people🤔
Looks... like a $500 car.... it's really good $500 car. You could flip that turbo for $500 and you have a free car. And I must add if anyone plans on spending $40,000.00 on an eclipse please come to me for all your parts and needs. For $40k I will put you a 500hp ls1 and a $20k AWD transmission in any 4 cylinder car and keep the other $10k for my pocket. Xp
at least the 12 gear transmission is movie accurate.
😂👍
Was about to say that lol
That's funny right there and accurate
Kinda like a 400rd magazine in a movie gun.
I put a semi transmission in my car and I love it. Nothing like hitting 30 mph in 6th gear
Rolling through 12 gears like that was probably the most authentic part of the car to the movie! 🤣
I was gonna just make a comment about this 🤣
And in under 10 seconds 😂
Dammit you beat me lol I came here to say based on his demonstration it was the most accurate representation of the movie car of everything
Beat me to it by 7 hours. I'm way behind.
I counted more, haven't watched an episode since. Rumour has it they can now fly....... garbage
Can’t wait for this to be finished so you can granny shift and not double clutch like you should.
Double clutching is a term for and old 18wheeler ask me how I know lol old clutch u double pump no a race car thing by no means
Big facts 🤣
Yeah I keep trying to get someone to answer that question. What in the world does double clutching mean???
@@Randscaping when you press the clutch twice for a gear change, first putting the car in neutral and then in the next gear
Thank you @Peter0x44. Definitely sounds like something that, without enough practice, really could add significant time to your shifting.
the biggest problem with the front and rear bumper: you're not going to get a kit for early 2nd gen Eclipse to fit on late 2nd gen eclispe. the head lights changed shape, and the reverse lights changes placement on the rear.
The shifter is accurate because F&F has unlimited gearbox
True story 🖐️😂🤣

Like terminator 2's xr80 trail bike with roadranger gearbox lol
LOL true
@@jamessouth4776 yeah seems like this is a normal movie thing
This is a faithful recreation of what 18 year olds in the 2000s did to their Eclipses after seeing the first Fast And Furious
So true.
@@donniedarko4954 what kind of Joe Biden gibberish are you speaking?
Door handles break so easily. I've had to replace mine 3 times each on my 96 270k mile AWD. Been a real good car. Possibly the only one they made destined to hit 300k miles.
It's funny I've come across this comment as ive literally got the door handle issue on my project Eclipse 😂, drivers door won't open from outside, but opens fine from the inside.
Any suggestions for a solution, or do I just start looking for a replacement? 😄
Honestly I know that Paul’s Eclipse wasn’t even that good, I just love the atheistic of the car, the way the green and the blue go together with the black on the hood. Looks so clean in my opinion
Instead of “Danger to Manifold”, try “DANGER! THIS CAR HAS MOLD!”

"Craig Lieberman" the technical adviser of the original "FF" films, has his own YT chanel. He goes into depths, on the history of all the cars and also the films themselves.
He probably experienced a mild stroke when Freddie uploaded this.
Craig also has a website that gives all specs and mods to all the main cars.
@@scotty3281 That website is very underrated. It's a literal encyclopedia for those cars.
Wow really....
Always thought roof scoops were some kind of lightweight, roof replacement air induction thing, when AC and fans and all that crap had been taken out for weight savings, so there was moving air and positive pressure inside for hot weather or something. Never really thought much about why they just disappeared.
Some mid or rear engine cars have roof scoops that lead to the engine bay but yeah other than that they just act like an air brake. I believe subaru had a functional roof scoop for one of the wrx rally cars.
@Reaniman99 the 666 series cars had a functional roof scoop on the 22b
Looks like a fun project to sink into. The engine shown in the movie is the Chrysler 420a Dohc that was also used in the neon and it was a front wheel drive just go find a cheap one with the cheap engine and your set.
Adding on hear you added that to the end of your video.
" I never close a project car door without first opening a window" - A lesson everybody learns the first time they get locked out of a project car
My 944 has “central locking” of indeterminate usability and sure as shooting did this to me on the first day I owned it.

@@benjones1917 if they all do it it's a feature not a fault 😂
If you guys were rocking 80s cars you could just jack the car up and reach through the floorboard to open the door. And none of us should be saying anything until we've locked ourselves into a hot dead car in August with power windows and all the interior handles are broken.

Bah! I'd kill for hair as good as Freddie's is -- or even will be in 15 years.
Unfortunately for Freddy, he is biologically Dominican. We tend to lose our hair the same way he’s losing his right now. I’m 16 and I’m savoring my good hair for as long as I have it
I used to own a 1995 Eagle Talon ESi. I rebuilt the motor, transmission, upgraded exhaust, and upgraded everything else on the car. It was sweet. I had to let it go, but I want to get another Talon or Eclipse and build it up again. Great video Tavarish!
The Talons were so underrated man I miss mine. That’s thing was stock except minor stuff I did and it was scary how much speed it had.
I had a 97 Dsm Gsx turbocharged eclipse with the 5 speed and absolutely loved it. I have to say it’s what launched my love of cars and tuning
Car: *Blows up in the movie
Tavarish: "IT'S MUCH WORSE THAN YOU THINK!"
Totally accurate 12 speed transmission.
Needed a break from my arcades. So I binged your vids! Amazing stuff bro! 🤘
Crazy how Tavarish went from rebuilding a knock off F&F eclipse to a freaking flooded McLaren P1. Dudes a beast
"super popular" is an understatement. Back in the early 2000s I was driving around with a DSM group in my SRT-4 and a lot of people asked why I decided to cruise with them, and I'd always joke that I was just following them around and collecting parts as they fell off so I could build a DSM of my own 🤣
Tavarish: ...had a 6 speed manual and all wheel drive...
Me: watching cartrek 4 again on the tv at the background
The roof scoop is not supposed to be pointless. it's either to give you air in the cabin for the driver because of ac delete and window delete or for a radiator in the trunk to make room upfront
First time watching your channel. I've been a gearhead since the '60s. American muscle and Japanese tin. You might want to look into JDM. In 2019 I bought a 5.0 engine from a Lexus GFS V8 with the 6-speed transmission with complete wiring harness for $2,200 from JDM. Located a adapter for the trail gear 4.70 twin stick transfer case. Then stuffed it in my 85 Toyota 4x4 straight axle. A friend of mine airbrushed a little sleeping Mojave mule on the tailgate.
I guess it's just a shame we'll never see that SL get finished
or the gallardos roof
or the 355 rotary swap lol
or the porsche 996
Looks like instead of finishing anything he's selling them off😒
He is already tired of loading a car on a trailer.I think sema 2025/2026 is feasible.
Shame
Love the video sir! This is the condition of every DSM I’ve seen for sale in my area for the last 10 years or so. 😢
Happy to see you're doing well, Tom. We miss your videos!!
Try to buy one that's not like that these days. 🤔
Maybe the prices will finally come up then. I picked up 6 2g GST/GSX's last year for 3k, already made my money back of them but I'd like to make flipping DSM's more worth while lol
@@christiannieves4380 I challenge you to buy a 90s eclipse that’s in good condition for a great price
This car was a Good Try by some amateur kid your being too harsh on the Lad
I been thinking about doing one for a while now. Got a 96 GSX for 1500 been completely unmolested but been in a barn for like forever and a day. Got some axis se7ens 18x7.5 on a 240 I got as a project. But man this Makin me really reconsider taking on the job now.
I usually like these videos by the end. But Tavarish's "hello" from the inside of the car won my like.
Imagine the person who did this build watching this video of their car lmao
They would cry because the body kit cost twice what he bought the car for let alone getting it painted!
@@SKOMPAS PAINTED?
'My other projects that will get finished.' Freddy, I'm not gonna hold my breath waiting for any of them to be done.
He's bad as Samcrac....lol
I love these Eclipses because I had a 1999 as my first car in Highschool.
Now by the time I was in Highschool, the car was 10+ years old, but it was still super cool.
It had a diamond plate floorboard & a Super Airflow Converter 2 installed.
It had mostly cosmetic upgrades like headlights & tail lights, gauge clusters & dash kit.
It wasn't much more than stock & most of the "upgrades" were fairly basic, but it was super fast for a 16 year old kid lol.
Mine was the front wheel drive turbo, unfortunately not the AWD.
I still really miss that car.
If I'm ever a rich guy, I will probably go out & fix up an awesome 95-99 Eclipse.
Fun fact actually for everyone that don't know that purple car is the one Michelle learned how to drive in this car because she didn't have her license he is absolutely lucky having that cat
"Why would there be a roof scoop on a tuner car?" Umm, back in those days all the big horsepower guys ran scoops. This was because when you did an engine swap, especially one of the crazy swaps(like the vq35 to vk56de) there was either no room for, or no way to hook up the A/C. And in some cases they deleted the factory A/C to lose the parasitic draw on the motor(good for a HP or two, I guess). Either way, it got really hot in a car running a V8 where a V6 used to be with no A/C, so you ran a scoop to allow cold outside air in. A couple guys I knew had an umbilical setup that used the scoop to pull in cold air for their helmets.
Just THANK YOU! That's one of those burning questions I had since... forever!
Not very car savy so that's a shock and a relief
@@jorgeirizarry5971 You ever driven in a V8 car that was originally designed to be a V6? Without air conditioning, since you can't find a way to hook up the pulley to the compressor? I have. I can still remember the radiant heat coming through the cutouts for the pedals. My old V8 350Z would go from room temp to 150 degrees in about 10-15 minutes with just normal driving. You could cut that down to about 3 minutes if you were running it hard. A funny quirk about most of the imports I have owned, they are insanely well designed. To a fault. In My Z, you could have both windows down and do 85 MPH and the wind in the cabin would not be excessive. I talked with one of the designers of my car and he said that they spent weeks working out the shape of the windows and the mirrors to prevent too much air coming in, even if you were going really fast. Now I didn't run a scoop on that car, since it didn't have t-tops or a sunroof, and I would have to hack at the roof to make it work, but having run vent scoops before, I would have run a scop in half a heartbeat if that car had come with either, as it was miserable to drive. The tiny amount of drag vs a very real risk of heatstroke is a good tradeoff. We just installed a roof scoop on the corvette fourtwo, for pretty much the same reason. Eventually I ran a bunch of fans and ran ducts to CAIs behind the fenders, but that wasn't as good as a roof scoop in my opinion.
@@jorgeirizarry5971 The point of roof scoops is to have airflow into the cabin.
@@jorgeirizarry5971 In this case it's for airflow into the cabin. I'm assuming the popularity of it is due to them being on Rally cars, which was in a somewhat of a renaissance at the time.
@@jorgeirizarry5971 I get what you are saying, and most factory built cars with scoops were mid engined, BUT that doesn't change the reason that tuners used scoops, which was to keep the driver from passing out due to the unholy heat generated from an engine swap that was bigger than factory. While this particular eclipse might not have needed a scoop, I do remember a few GSXs from back in the day that absolutely did. There were some insane people in the tuner scene back then. I still remember that lunatic with a honda hatchback with a rear mounted LS(X I believe but it could have been one of the other LS variants). There was an eclipse that ran in my town that was running a supercharged V8 and had most of the hood cutout with no visibility(due to the engine and supercharger sticking out. Both of those cars ran scoops, since the honda didn't feel like running piping all over the car for AC and the GSX didn't have room for the compressor. My earnest belief is that the people that made the movie went out and saw what was running and just made a car that looked like it, not realizing that in that particular case it wasn't needed. I've spent a lot of time under the hood of a lot of cars, I even worked on some with actual mid engine scoops, and a few exotics with faux scoops, in particular a certain mclaren with the scoop option(that wasn't attached to anything. There are more use cases in this world that don't fit your narrow beliefs. I would have hated to run either the honda or the GSX (or the fourtwo for that matter) without a vent scoop, as the cabin temps get extreme, and opening the windows introduces as much or more drag than a scoop.
Ever think about how Brian lost his floorboard and then picked up Toretto in it, so he would had to put his legs around the gaping hole in the floor while he drove
Yeah like a flintstones car
Never been up north? Usually its the other side though.

As someone that owned a 1997 Eagle Talon that had both door handles break and had to route a wire hangar out the window to open it, and once had to climb through the trunk when that slipped out once...I had flashbacks.
When he was talking about the parts, I kinda expected a "overnight parts from Japan" reference.

Right now the big big money is in cars of the wealthier older generations movies. If he waited till we are all 30+ we can dump stupid amounts on these cars. Once I’m out of college I’d gladly put myself into horrific debt for one of these cars.

@29:53 The scoop was functional when you deleted the sunroof and custom modified the headliner. It was meant for dry, track racing only(obviously).
“We got no engines do we!” First thought when I seen the engine was not there lol
Same
As a autoglass technician, I'd VERY gingerly take the og screen out and preserve it, that way you can install a new aftermarket screen and make it look right with the number and still have the original part. Though the work in taking out any screen whole is nerve breaking and extremely tedious, but it's absolutely doable, only the generic moulding would need replacing
As a dsm owner I started laughing when the door handle broke lol 🤣
Had a 97 Eclipse for quite a few years. Been threw about 4 driver side and 1 passenger side. The last one i greased the springs and hinges prior to installation. Seemed to help. I feel your pain.

Wow, cars from F&F!! I've been looking for a normal video with the original Eclipse for a long time!!! Thank you! Sick!!! I have two red & two blue same new Sparco belts 8-) But in movie it was black, I guess...
Let’s be real though, the ad revenue and sponsorship would have justified the build.
The shifter movement is accurate to the movie though 😂😂😂😂
The actual movie car was a fwd Rs with an automatic. There's a documentary on the vehicles vs what was represented in the movie. You nailed it brother

After spending $900 bucks in a week buying used turbos to replace them just to blow up the next day I just decided to sell the car. A few months later I saw the guy who bought it at the gas station and whatever he did he actually managed to fix whatever was causing it because I couldnt figure it out nor could the mechanics at the dealership I worked at either.

Coilovers is the entire kit including the shocks, springs and purch.but if it's just the purch and springs then it's called sleeve overs because it slides over the shock as is.
This is honestly in better condition than 90% of these eclipses of this era. Yes this car isn't accurate to the movie but I feel that you over exaggerated the condition of the car. The paint and bodywork (for being a fiberglass kit) is really good I feel. This is definitely salvageable, I redid one in worse condition on my channel, on a budget.
Dont Tell My Wife
One of the greatest line
in the whole car Community 😆
You need to go do a follow up/rescue and this boy back on track
This body kit was actually made by a company called Blitz, although the one on the car was almost certainly a knockoff from Robocar, who made cheap replica body kits in the early 2000s
11:58 well wait a minute.. That is actually movie acculturate. Paul Walker shifts like 29 times in 1/4th mile lol.
@@mikeivoyloff1656 wtf
Who said that race was a qtr mile at the beginning
if you want a movie accurate eclipse, you have to get one of the base models either a gs or rs because the movie eclipse didnt have a 4g63, it had a 420a
I've got a 4G63 GS lol, the bonus of having a European Eclipse is that we didn't get the Chrysler lumps 😂
I bought 2 DSM's, a '95 & '98. First one had the 4g63t IN THE TRUNK also,and the second one had broken door handles on both sides and I had to climb in through the trunk.
1995 and 1996 had the reverse lights half moon shaped next to the license tag but the 97-99 had circles on the outsides of the bumper when buy a body kit for a 95-96 they come with the circle light cases for the outsides of the bumper to change the 95-96 to the newer style. So that car bumper is designed to use the new 97-99 circle cases but in the 95-96 location next to the license tag. I owned about 11 of these cars over the year's. My favorite was my 95 Talon had the GST eclipse setup turbo 2wd not the AWD also got it dirt cheap with a modified 1994 eclipse / talon carbon fiber hood on it smh

Dont Forget that Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines. And on top of that, he just went into Harry's, and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS. And a Motec System Exhaust !
For the og wheels you can also get the lenso s7's,they are essentially the same,learnt it when i built my replica
Correct, most of Axis wheels were just rebranded Lenso wheels.
Not gonna lie, all of the rational and logical talk on why this would be a hard build was not expected and somewhat downer-ish. Yeah, it would be expensive but i was super looking forward to this project. Im glad i can still see the build on youtube. That being said, I love the channel, and good luck on the coming builds!
i remember drooling over the Blitz bodykit in the back of tuner magazines in high school.
From the doors forward (not door glass though) you can get parts off the Dodge Avenger or Chrysler Sebring first generations from the 1990s because they were the same car save trunks instead of hatches. Yes the door handles were crap on all of them.
I'm 65 right now and I've had "male pattern baldness" since my mid 30's....

This is my favorite video you have done. Still remember going to the theater with my friends, within months of us getting our DL, and thinking our cavaliers were hot shit. I regret nothing
Had a cavalier that thing ran forever
Dude I had a 92 Talon that was AMAZING!!!! Was post turbos getting popular here, and products were damn near impossible to get. Factory boost gauges were actually vacuum gauges.
Motegi FF7’s we’re a popular common tuner one piece wheel from the early 00’s. You could get them catalog at your local tire shop! They went like hotcakes! They’re not bad, but definitely not correct for a car like that. Good effort!
When you spend so much time and money trying to recreate a screen accurate car, then go to see the actual screen accurate car, and find out it is also not screen accurate? Reminds me of the nightmare people have with The General Lee and K.I.T.T from Knight Rider. Trying to restore these iconic cars with accuracy, when there have been quite a few made over time, is virtually impossible.
The actual movie car is not an actual representation of the car that they are “showing” people get lost in these cars. I personally am a fan of these cars, I just think that people are taking this wayyyyyyyyyy to far!
The perfect replica does not exist!
The original car that Universal “rented” from the owner had a roof scoop. It was silver and was well known in the show circuit in the late 90s. I personally saw the car in it’s original form at Import Showoff Invitational at Anaheim convention center.
Blitz Japan designed and manufactured their own body kits in the 90s. They were the originators of that side bumper kick up valance look.
Robocar was actually a motorsports/accessories shop in LA during the time.
VIS racing is who made knock off body kits such as the one on the Eclipse. They offered “Blitz Style” body kits for many imports and some domestics at the time.
Man those cars at the end are so cool. If I ever get rich I'd love to remake the 350z from Tokyo Drift, easily my favorite car in the series. Thanks for the cool video!

"This yours?"
"Yeah, I'm standing next to it"

It's been 3 weeks you didn't upload how I spouse to sleep at night.
Your videos are like grandma's stories that you can't sleep without it.
That 12speed gear box is very accurate to the fast and furious films they have endless gears 😭😭😂😂
All of Tavarshs friends are currently moving to New addresses so they don't get a free car
My nightmare is me one day thinking a build like this is a good idea.

Original car was not a turbo, it was running the mitsubishi 420A NA 2.0 Liter DOHC, Similar to the the 2.0 DOHC used in the Dodge Neon, many neon owners actually used the 420A to turbo their cars because of the location of the intake and exhaust manifolds. Stock Neon Motors had the intake up front exhaust out back and the 420A reversed that. Both engines shared a lot of parts like cams, sensors, etc.
That's....special.
Also obligatory:
"Almost had me? You never had me...you never had your car!"

I'm a car guy, but I could never see the attraction of F&F. I'm glad you passed the buck on this one.
It became massive after the 4th movie. Even thought the first is clearly the best.
At least it's got the Authentic 17-Speed Manual Transmission like the movie. That's gotta be *worf sumtin'!*
I was 18 when the first movie came out. Saw it in the theater and was hooked. Saw it 2 more times.
honestly his hairline has been making more progress than the McLaren
2:57 Car Trek series 4 playing in the background on the TV. Nice
