Default Spanish Tuner
Forgive me if this is Bar material, not Pub material but..

A self-proclaimed expert Mitsubishi tuner in Spain has a "special" go at tuning an Eclipse. Hilarity ensues

Make special note of the word "special".

It's well worth it to read all the 52+ pages. The thread has already accumulated over 2 million views, from car clubs all over the world.

Just to sum up some of the ingenious tuning methods that you'll witness (for the lazy readers out there):

hand filing singh grooves into cylinder heads
drilling multiple holes into the flywheel
covering almost every component in cheap, dodgy paint (think bushes, gearbox)
creating a frankenstein clutch (for almost no reason....)
incredibly bad TIG welding.... everywhere
edit: oh and a one piece exhaust

Must be a thing with mitsubishi drivers. :togo: Just a bit of proof that a little bit of knowledge can be dangerous.

I loved that airbox too.

Site was dropping in and out when I looked at it before. I think it must be the 1.3million hits the thread has now got (most in the past few weeks).

I'm surprised the clutch or the flywheel didn't make a break for it up through the dash... anything to escape that car.

I'm just astounded it took the beating of a track day (or atleast a few laps). Lucky Mitsubishi builds it tough, though probably not for this reason.

Went from an (apparently) 14 sec stock time (recorded for other stock cars) to 16 sec e/t. That's some skilled tuning right there.
