Amazing work and you guys are killing it. Personally I HATE the look of those swan neck spoilers but I like how you did the chassis mount instead of having it stick up from underneath the car and wrapping up. Can't wait to see what you guys do next on this!

[@FreeMatter4TheBlind]

You mean Swong neck.

[@jacobmiller7786]

Please continue to do the outros like that. I loved seeing the raw footage.

[@bigfatcarguy1827]

Love the wing concept, not sure about the wing itself though. I guess i need to wait until the car is complete to see the overall look

[@SoloLups]

Damn rickie is such a genuine guy, also always looks like he enjoys what hes doing, this gives me good vibes every time i watch a video 😌

[@hectorZeroni123]

I don’t understand why people give these vids a thumbs down. Like these dudes working they a** off and having fun doing something nobody has done to an eclipse. Big THUMBS up to the Throtl team!

[@nmoncur]

This build is going to be awesome, but damn I wish you guys would have started with a less-clean donor. Makes me sad to see such a clean GSX cut up. Still awesome work

[@YourUserNameSucksx10]

That's what I said too They gonna rebuilt everything why not get some trash mild or trash gsx. They already rebuilding the motor. This gsx was still close to mint

[@csr801996]

it makes sense to start with a clean car because you dont have to fix a 1000 little things that are wrong with a beater car. the gsx isnt exactly a supra or skyline as far as desirability goes imo

[@RunningSolo]

@@csr801996 exactly 💯

[@squid2j2]

@@csr801996 What you mean ? Theyre literally rebuilding everything on the car so it dont matter if the donor is messed up or not lol

[@csr801996]

@@squid2j2 the body was mostly what I was talking about. It's a straight car so they don't have to fix a bunch of dings, you'd be surprised how much labor rust repair and dings take to fix.

[@JoeyBonzo]

"You're a friggin wizard dude" couldn't have said it any better lmfao

[@kruxi_cro]

I love those fabrication series, just like Mickey said, Lego sets without instructions. Btw. maybe you should extend that sandwich plate to follow the curvature of the trunk

[@jessellsealy7888]

Respect the ingenuity and hard work. It's really interesting watching you guys build the wing's support system... but I really hate the look of swan neck wings. Sidenote: loving the bonus clips at the end now.

[@vraven-tc6cg]

97' eclipse was my very first car. These videos are making me want to own one again.

[@BrokePremiere]

I can’t wait to do a build like this. Once I get enough flip content. I’m definitely doing my childhood dream build like this.

[@marcusgoile4979]

The factory wing is so iconic tho 😩

[@butlike8988]

Bruh you never seen fast & furious? The factory wing isn't on that car....

[@marcusgoile4979]

@@butlike8988 this wing wasn’t on the fast and furious either was it?!?

[@butlike8988]

@@marcusgoile4979 Did you not watch the video? Lol.. When they introduced the wing all the way in the beginning they said it's a 'modern' take on the F&F car because while the movies wing was popular at the time, this one is popular in todays car scene. Also the title of the video series clearly says MODERN F&F build.

[@marcusgoile4979]

@@butlike8988 you clearly haven’t read my comment 😂. I just said the factory wing was iconic. And it looks like you’ve taken offence

Loving all the new episode endings

Mickie: swan Rickie: swong Eclipse looking like throtls own Frankenstein's monster. Excited to see what it'll be like after its done

[@brandondorado6762]

Lol and me over here spend a whole year looking for an oem bumper 😭 damn love the build keep up the great work

[@guanijk619]

I have faith in you guys but seeing the Eclipse butchered like that is more painful than when Johnny Tran blasted the green one. #ripgsx

[@da1ace]

Wish they had picked up a trash gsx to do this to.

[@loudd]

Me personally i'm tired of seeing my favorite car turned into a green hunk a shit. Every KZbin channel or car channel or website or garage or anything like that is always building one of these fast and furious reps and it's awful.

[@pedrorodrigueziii4859]

Of all the projects you guys have done, this is the one that I would ABSOLUTELY love to own. Had an Eagle Talon TSI in my younger years and I'm a huge Fast and Furious fan. This build is pulling on all my 90's kid heart strings. Well done Throtl! Also, Cobalt SS, GO.

[@_Johnny.B.Goode_]

Yes right along with you Pedro. Owned a 95tsi and an RS-T. Miss being around DSMs. This by far is my favorite series.

[@viduranga9832]

Can we just admire how clean that cut was in the rear bumper

[@mickeyandrade3435]

Thank you. 😃

Ricky you are an artist. Crazy fabwork Man. Cant weit to See the finished car.

[@CiteshGaming]

The out-takes at the end are the best. Will share and like every time for more of these

[@chadhawkins2493]

Personally Not a fan of the swan neck mounted wing but definitely a cool way of mounting it. Tubular rear subframe is going to look sweet. keep the videos coming. Cant wait to see in house engine building videos!

[@Yo_AB_Breaks]

I'm glad Rickie acknowledged how fucking crazy this looks right now. Looking forward to the final product. Because I have zero imagination and this looks fucking nuts.

[@kusanagisensei5987]

Not a fan of the swong wing but the video was still interesting to watch :)

[@supastr33t]

Go gigalo! Remember to wear a mask when cutting fibre, I wanna keep watching you a long time!

[@Alwayscorrect12]

Ricky in his sunglasses looks like a hyper-competitive little league coach

[@juancantu5521]

Hey, I trust you guys with this modern take on the Mitsubishi Eclipse ! Awesome, I say do more on these vehicles from The Fast & Furious ! Great Job.

[@docbeastman]

This is coming together nicely. Wish I could get my gto vr4 to you guys for some of that fab 90’s jdm magic 😆 🍻 🏎💨 one day my liberty walk gundam will be done. Sending love from soco to socal. Keep crushing it throtl 💚

[@scottsopko7220]

My car has almost all the same parts. Good job throttle. That tubular rear subframe 100% should be coming from Volk metal craft. Order everything they make for 2g and you won’t regret an ounce of it.

[@huckhuckhuck]

Holy hell that intro volume levels are INSANELY high. You need to tell the editor to check the levels, bout blew my ear drums out.

[@willsanctuary6626]

Fair play building the brackets and supports, that looked a real headache

[@mammoth-puppy3246]

I don’t know why, but I erupted with laughter when that model put the sticker on the window. Nice placement 👍

[@mickeyandrade3435]

😂😂😂

[@Gnomig01]

I'm obsessed with following this car. cant wait to see it finished!

[@SPEGYnMERBLES]

Hate to be that guy (I know not my build), but the wing mount could’ve been so much cleaner!! submerge it, GT style, with two slits in trunk instead of deck top bolt in mount

[@guitarsify]

I think they did it this way so you can still open the hatch and use that space...assuming they seal up that gaping hole they made

[@austinbob7291]

You are building my favorite generation of eclipse awd

[@jdmfreak22]

That ending with the bloopers made.my day :)

[@kennynorris4381]

What y’all do is literally my dream I would love to build cars everyday ..... one day 🤙🏻

Throtl ViP squad Good morning Rickie Evan Mickey Rick Quinn Victor Shawn Big Jeff awesome Mitsubishi Eclipse content it was awesome hanging out with you guys 🔥👍😄

[@ExtraButta]

Well... this is one of the most ingenious ways to have a properly fitted swan neck AND still close the hatch. Questions though.... can you lock it?

[@mickeyandrade3435]

Yes, if the latch is present.

[@j86alvarez]

Love the Ricky and Mickey duo can't wait to see this baby done.

The "swong" neck counter had me cracking up! 🤣

Glad they went with the famous Swong Wing.

[@Promisedland_garage]

Ricky being in full time is special cause he brings the latin's taste to the channel, Viva Puerto Rico🇵🇷 You guys killing it

[@gdk4l807]

that’s why he’s my favorite member. i’m mexican but it’s still good to see a latino on this channel do amazing work

[@nicolejhondelacruz9339]

My man Rickie. Please consider wearing a respirator or n95 mask when cutting composites, cf or fiber glass. You can't get any good high performance aftermarket lungs out there buddy

[@olivergregory2889]

This is gonna be the best build yet

that swong neck flush chassis mount was a genius idea. I havent seen anything like that

I hope it's a Volk Metal Craft subframe you guys are going to use.

[@nanatzaya]

You guys... You know it's the US when two car dudes walk up to showcase with fricking Mika Hakkinens 1996 helmet in it and completely ignore it. 🤣 Still loving the content though. 😁 Can't wait to see whats gonna happen to the front. There's gotta be a massive splitter and some canards to achieve aero balance.

[@KennyMinigun]

This car seriously starts to be FREK opponent

[@mobilechaosyt]

Not so excited about the space between the swan necks. They look really close and out of place in relation to how tall they are and how wide the wing will be. I think you all compensated with the short wing but will not look right when you get the real wing.

[@MrNismo121]

I see alot of metal work going on. I'm curious if you happen to make sure the passenger side floor doesn't fall out like in the movie.
