  • Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. The eclipse goes under the knife to become better than ever. Being the perfectionist I am, no detail is left spared.

    This series is insanely detailed. Cinematography is crazy too. The 3g community needed this. Thank you 🫶🏽

    This video is UNBELIEVABLY well produced!! The time you took to set up your camera-work and focus on every small detail is super appreciated! I love that someone is making content of this caliber for the 3G Eclipse. Also I'm pretty sure my filler neck bracket is also filled with dirt and rust, so I'll have to inspect that some time!

    You're rear strut bar is exactly how I did mine and caught shit for from people in the 3g group. Good video man mine was way rustier, I just dropped the whole rear subframe and had to cut it apart from there.

    • @DrewMestel
      @DrewMestel  Před rokem

      I'm glad I'm not the only one! It looks clean and OEM that way. It's great. I like when aftermarket parts look like they were meant to be there.

    Pleasant surprise video :) you’re build was a huge reason I bought a 3g eclipse and got into manual and modding cars… realized it’s a lot harder than I thought and kicked off building up my own tools and buying and reviving a 2002 wrx. Can’t wait to see this restoration 🎉

    I stumbled upon this series after seeing your comment in another video. I'm absolutely looking forward to watching/following. I've got the convertible version of the same car. It's in similar condition so I am thinking a lot of your experience will apply to my own. Great video quality. Keep up the good work!

      That's an excellent question. Ideally as fast as possible. I would like to add to the series every few weeks.

  • @wildwolf3938
    @wildwolf3938 Před 2 měsíci

    Are there any tips you could give me for restoring the correct height ratio and camber when using cheap coilovers for my 3G? I've been driving on them for a year but shrinking the front coilovers to no exposed thread and maxing out the rear coilovers to their full exposed thread gives my ride more height in the front than the rear and the camber on the rear wheel, because of how low the rear is, is either too positive or negative (I'm not sure). Is there any way to add height to the rear coilovers and fix the camber?

    • @DrewMestel
      @DrewMestel  Před 2 měsíci

      For the front SPC essentric strut bolt kits in tandem with camber strut plates on top should give you plenty of range of adjustability.
      For the rear, rear upper control arm camber kits allow for adjustment out from the top to reduce negative camber. Or, you can simple get longer bolts and add washers to move it outward on a budget. That's about all you'll need.

    Now you just need to run across a suitcase full of money and turbo it

    • @DrewMestel
      @DrewMestel  Před rokem +1

      Haha eh... perhaps that would be a waste of money. This will be a VIP style stance car when completed and has a low mileage bone stock 6g72, meaning going turbo isn't worth it. If anything I'll swap to the 3.8L and do an N/A build. I already have some parts for that. 👍
