I Built My Dream Car In 4 Months!

Coming up on 1 year since this project I figured I would make a 10 minute build video since I wanted to do it before and never did. I sold the car last year thinking I was moving far away and couldn't keep the car. I hope the new owner is happy with it and loves it as much as I did.

** ATTENTION! ** For the people asking me for the color code. It is FH1. For everyone that said they want to see more of the car here's the full build kzbin.info/aero/PLkLzjS5-NHqmB__7Ja1Sbzxq9RgRra2DH

[@Viper3048]

I LOVE that color, it looks great. I sprayed mine in the Dodge color "Sublime" and added holographic metal flake to the clearcoat. It was a real looker! Sadly haven't had the car in years and I regret selling it. It was my first car.

[@garycolman4381]

Any chance you want to sell?

[@RedHeadAvenger]

I'm a shade tree mechanic but have no exp with turbos. Looking to put one in my 2001 GT Spyder. I can do most of it myself just not sure how to get all the sensors and hoses. Nor do I know where to look as far as setting it up. Any thoughts?

[@christianotto3910]

pro trick : watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.

[@mrvapor4791]

Did you find it in the Box Of Awesomeness..

[@gustavomaratao]

My man this is actually insane. The amount of knowledge and skill that went into this. The car is absolutely beautiful. Love it bro keep it up.

[@zombeesama1169]

wish i had the skills....

[@DramA525]

I wish too. I’ve had 2 DSMs and haven’t got either to work

[@zombeesama1169]

@Boosted B18B1 yep, millions to a billions not that many.... why the salts?

[@bobbymaner4113]

Well said

[@datualigram17]

for real im jealous with that knowledge

[@djzomb1]

You took the whole "built not bought" to the max. Thats one bad man right here. Big respect.

[@jihnelsantodomingo]

This generation of Eclipse is absolutely TIMELESS

[@screwbles5697]

Bro, this was my childhood dream car right here, everybody sees this body style and feels nostalgic. It is, it's wonderful.

[@animativepivot5378]

Though I really love the design of this old eclipse I just feel like I'm more into the newer eclipse design

[@kcgfy81]

Shame the Eclipse is now a crossover 😒

[@nicko9725]

2nd Gen Eclipse was the best.

[@MLife1000]

I agree the 2nd Gen was my child hood dream car. I have a 99 GST and at first had a 95 Non Turbo RS model.

[@ricks_toys]

"I need NOS, Harry. The big ones, and I need it by tonight"

[@tuonglukim8973]

No Brian, I've seen you drive... you got a heavy foot.

[@digitalradiohacker]

Dude, I almost HAD you!

[@screwbles5697]

Classic.

[@marlonelmorefreedomisoursn9744]

One of my favorite lines LOL

[@trophy182]

Brian Earl spillner….sounds like a serial killer

[@swift__]

Dude the amount of work that went into this is fucking insane, and all under 6 months?!?! Your a monster, paint, electrical, mechanical, everything you did was primo man. Super super badass man. Lol I can’t get over it, just crazy. 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Your on another level dude 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@Ailurus]

Im just getting into car builds and mods. I have no clue what you did or how you did it. All I know is that I want to do it lmao The car looks great bro.

[@kaisercontrolsyou3636]

lol just watched one of your vids

[@kidsvillacorta9301]

Wow I didn’t know you liked cars

[@XavLump]

same😂

[@msyoiyuuko]

Dude same

[@RalseiSmokinAFatBlunt]

Same fr

[@samizzle99]

4.5 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy crap bro, as watching this I was thinking it took you somewhere around 2 years to do all that. You sir are amazing.

[@michaelsookoo3927]

Did this man just did the electrical, upholstery, paint job and mechanics 😯😯😯 👏👏 amazing

[@SuperHonkyPodcast]

I'm almost 38 years old and these Eclipses ruled the streets back when I was in Highschool.

[@4g63ALLEN]

I’m 38 and I own a 97 GSX

[@Slashoom]

Yup. All it took was one GST or GSX to break everyone off. Was nutty, every time.

[@davidwray3424]

And let the generation that loved 90's start saving all of them! Every generation restores cars from their hayday and I'm glad to see a lot of 90's cars getting saved and loved once more! Love it and gives me a little kick to get back on my 97 AWD and get her finished up!

[@stvteoutdoors9756]

people can buy a new car and put a 1k hp set up and it gets millions of views and thats no small feat, BUT THIS is the real content true car guys like and adore. amazing job bringing the old girl back with some tried and true sweat equity and knowledge!

[@giftedcracker]

i wasn't crazy about this color when i saw the thumbnail, but ended up liking it in the end. This was extremely satisfying to watch, beatiful machine.

[@isaiaharechiga8924]

Badass build bro! It’s always nice to see a Dsm saved🙌🙌

[@jakepiper2240]

In the feelz! I miss seeing this car on the channel. But I enjoy the new WRX content! Keep up the good work man!

[@godkingeldiablo3520]

This is by far the most gorgeous GSX I have ever seen!

[@ethr95awd]

makes my brain hurt how much work you put in to this. fantastic!!! (former 95 talon awd owner)

[@gochi6542]

Looks like a lot of love & know-how was put into this car that’s really dope. Great video 🔥

[@R1CKYB0BbY]

I just want to say that I greatly appreciate your dedication and devotion on your build bro. 🙏🏽 I always wanted this car as a kid but nowadays.. none are in good shape. 😞

[@El_Restaurador]

Such a professional job, simply amazing.

[@djranlove]

You did an incredible job! You've actually motivated me to get started on restoring my 1st gen. The fact that you did this by yourself is nuts, you've got mad SKILLZ!

[@grominwithrob1339]

Man, thank you for doing this car some justice. So many of them fall victim to a horrible fate by hack jobs.

[@brandonhughes882]

Nicely done. Love that gen eclipse, especially the gsx. I can't imagine the amount of work to do all that, let alone in 4.5 months. It's always great to see people with that kind of passion for cars.

[@RussianzFight]

very well put together. great job! no cut corners, took his time with everything and the details. just marvelous.

[@Therzza]

Nice job man...the only problem with these “10 minute” vids is it doesn’t commute mountain of work that goes into a project like this. Much respect!

[@derrickjoness]

Bro you absolutely killed it good job!! I wish the GSX was easier to find for sale

[@theresiaschendzielorz21]

I can't even fathom how much time and energy it would take to build all this knowledge... I love you

[@CommanderCronus]

As a former Eclipse owner, this video warms my heart. Beautiful piece of work. Thanks for sharing.

[@Snail2G]

This inspired me to actually do my own body paint. Was debating on taking it to a shop but fck that. I have access to all the tools lol

[@RedHeadAvenger]

Same. That paint has me in awe.

[@marbaz5583]

How did it go?

[@aldovargas8289]

Pretty sure I watched every single upload you did of this build! Very good work, I love your videos

[@StreetInspired1]

Thank you for your support!!

[@sharpshotta]

Cody’s a genius. Been wanting to build a gsx forever and here’s the video..

[@Simon-ik1kb]

I do not know how youtube decided to recommend me this video... I guess because I keep watching those Forza gameplay videos :D Anyway, I know zero about cars. Im even bad at playing car games, but this video is awesome. This is pure magic to me. I cannot imagine doing this stuff myself. This video is a perfect example of a person who found himself in this life. So much respect for that!

[@MoJoNinjaGarage]

That car came out really good dawg!

[@GusLopez7]

Niceeeeee🔥🔥

[@andresgomez606]

Que lo pintes el tuyo de ese color dice

[@robertosanchez120]

el Gus ya me vi con el eclipse que acaba de comprar

[@jovannivalencia6289]

I am beyond impressed. Not just with the car but your talent and knowledge. Beautiful car

[@SafeShifter]

You are my Hero!!! What a build! And the color is on point

[@EATSLEEPJD]

It was clean!

[@Lychnuchus]

Everytime I see a video like that I'm like: "where'd you get the money from and how did you learn to do this"

[@StreetInspired1]

Built might have cost roughly $10k and was money I saved for years from my hard earned paychecks.

[@dorenciobarnes2390]

That color was very bold. The finished product looks amazing. I would have said no to that color, and bam, you pulled it off. Amazing work.

[@Chromico]

Man, what a great example of saving a car that is timeless in a lot of peoples memories. Nice work.

[@kenrobertson7524]

What color is that it's

[@gtrsquadboii3912]

I will literally pay you to redo the body and frame and paint on mine

[@Viper3048]

Reminds me of my first car, a 1999 Eclipse GS OZ Edition with a 5 speed. It was slow as hell but it looked great. My dad has a body shop and we took the entire car apart and fixed the dents and dings, resprayed it "Sublime" which is a lime green Dodge color but the hood, roof, decklid, and spoiler were painted black to give it a 2 tone look. I also sprayed the stock wheels black and installed aftermarket halo headlights and tail lights. Back in the day I used to constantly get compliments on it. I miss that car. Thinking about finding it and fixing it back to the way it was.

[@estful6753]

The amount of work that went into this is crazy, thank you for this vid.

[@aureusstudios1721]

Haha I love the car! It’s getting a new tune and AEM ECU soon! Thanks again

[@austinknowles2151]

Ehhh idk about that, congrats on the new car but I’d suggest researching a little more on that AEM ecu, usually there’s either not enough support or you often get bugs. But if your tuner suggested it then probably get it, my personal opinion, go with haltech.

[@StreetInspired1]

I'm glad you're enjoying it! The car does have an eprom ECU so you could get DSM Link much cheaper most likely than the AEM ECU. Also If you want a stand alone I would highly recommend Haltech!

[@cruner99]

What is the value of a car, just like this one? Considering it's basically a "new" car after all the work that was put into it. Subbed

[@geoffnelson64]

Unfortunately they almost always get parted out:( I've seen it happen to a lot of 2g's... just more $ that way.

[@Viper3048]

I would say one in this shape will bring about 10 to 15 thousand. A rough one that still runs will cost around 3 to 5 thousand. A decent condition car can be had for about 8 grand.

[@flipboi952]

Jesus you literally did it all props man. Watching this makes me miss my 2g.

[@Reaching2Sky]

Your video about the tail lights inspired me to do the same with my 94 Ford Probe GT. Thanks men! Such a beaitufil car you have.

[@naterandomguy5509]

it’s almost impossible to find these, what’s the best was to find a gsx?

[@SaySayXIX]

GSX are pretty rare just keep searching

[@germanresendiz3778]

Every 90s tuner cars with manual Transmissions are super fun and timeless

[@skit.]

I'm blown away with how good it looks!!!!!

[@spacetownman7350]

What a beautifully transformed machine. A beast, without a doubt. Kudos!!!

[@darrianleonard3260]

One of the best build videos I’ve seen in a long time.

[@zachs.4153]

That paintwork is insane, all the years ive messed with cars ive never been able to do it. Amazing work

[@owenmurray4243]

you built this car literally perfect. I honestly think you've made the eclipse one of my favourite cars now

[@austinpetemo]

This is easily the best eclipse I've ever seen. Great work.

[@montecristo3548]

What a beautiful transformation, so much hard work. Congrats my dude

[@GangStar_6]

This build reminds me of my father and I back in the day. I helped pick this car with him at the dealership.

[@zaineamihai100]

I am legit impressed on how the whole project turned out. Keep it up my dude!!!

[@boboso7238]

Great work with this car! That was an awesome transformation and the fact you did it all it home makes it that much more impressive.

[@jcrossan1210]

Man thats gotta feel amazing taking it on the first successful drive. Good work!

[@vBunz]

seriously so clean. i love this build

[@BadgerGT500]

So clean, that interior came out flawless

[@midnightstalkerman]

Although this style build with the loud colors is never something I would do, the amount of time, planning, work, and perseverance in the build is nothing short of impressive. Very clean final product. I love the interior on the car. Very clean and functional. Well done!

[@axelerickson]

Well done my dude. Not how I would have done a lot of things, but your knowledge and persistence paid off. Good job!

[@jreal6773]

Props to you my guy! This was quite an undertaking. Restoring an iconic car to a pristine condition like this takes dedication, a big wallet, and a whole lot of time. 3.5 months is quite a feat! Enjoy the ride bro! You, and your car, definitely deserve it!

[@kylewillis439]

Ive only watched this episode thanks to the youtube algorithm but awesome work! This man is a master!

[@splashurberrys]

No lie best build up I've seen in so long

[@ezama1]

I’ve always wanted to do something like this especially on a gsx this is truly inspiring insane work man good job!!

[@timwing4379]

Man, that ended up looking REALLY good for a driveway paint job! Seriously, nicely done!

[@mcbridemotorsports5788]

Glad to see people are still trying to keep DSM's alive. First one I bought in high school back in 98 was a 5spd 96 GS. I ended up putting a turbo kit on it and eventually the trans gave out. So I sold it to a friend pretty cheap, When I was in the Army in the early 2000's I bought a 99 GSX, I dumped a lot of money into that car. In 05 I broke my back and was Medically Discharged from the Army. I sold my GSX during my recovery, to this day I regret letting that car go.

[@davidk4190]

i really admire you dude. your one smart person. really nice work

[@torello928]

Love it bro! Patients, knowledge, determination 👏💪 you are more of an inspiration than you'll ever know

[@pimpc442]

Nice ride, always loved the late 90's Eclipse GS-T, or GSX. Much respect on this build.

[@takashimatta]

Car looks beautiful and clean, and then when the boost kicks in... Epic.

[@xanderm7553]

You did a fantastic job, somthing to be proud of for sure.

[@Andrew-po6ou]

one of the cleanest builds

[@DragSlicks]

Amazing just amazing I absolutely love this can’t wait to hopefully be able to do things like this some day

[@741852justinnn]

this deserves millions of views, awesome job wish i was this mechanically inclined !

[@spambryan17]

Dang. Beautiful. Always been a fan of 90s eclipse

[@RioSkynaTV]

this build is beautiful, i love the interior

[@bramriccardi6844]

Dude you are a legend for doing this all bij your self

[@michaelskiff7790]

Beyond gorgeous! Absolutely amazing build!!

[@jacobsledge2200]

Brought back so much nostalgia!! Thanks for doing this!

[@brophymusprime593]

Great job man. I'm a dsm guy and really appreciate the details. Clean 2g my guy. Enjoy.

[@xavierthigpen2008]

This car is literally my Lock Screen I love this color n car I’m gettin one here shortly🖤

[@11696Ron]

This build is so clean.

[@jaykaye8666]

outstanding job, looks brand new

[@spoke1183]

one of best looking cars yet so simple

[@sodamiclown2102]

My hat off to you my guy!! So much respect!!!

[@08letsgotribe]

Cool video man! I always loved the look of the Eclipse and the Talon tsi. My sister actually bought a 99 GST brand new.. Literally drove it home from the dealership. We all piled in to let my mom drive it and we ended up getting in a bad crash. 2 minutes from home. My sister was having a mental breakdown after owning the car for an hour. If I could find one in Ohio that didn't have rust all round the shock towers I would totally pick one up. I can see these bringing be money when we get older. The style is timeless to me.

[@Dark17B]

Well this is another reason winning the lottery would be nice. Beautiful build, patience and upmost knowledge. Absolute bomb color choice and probably my favorite personally. I'm sure the price was a steal regardless for the new owner!

[@on_another_level5661]

Bro...you are one talented young man. Props brother, well done.

[@kataz4108]

dude knows so much this is sick

[@Bob_the_builder420]

Your painting skills are insane! The eclipse looks amazing!

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

Wow. Came out nice. I like them color. Glad you took the old wiring harnesses out. I just bought a 95 Eclipse i plan on building

[@charleswolfe3395]

Nice work. It really shows that you take pride in what you do.
