In the last year, my car project has been derailed by the rest of my life. In the background of the pic of my car in post #1, you can see my DD on jack stands... I ended up having to replace almost every part that bolts to the front passenger wheel, with almost NO exaggeration. My wife side swiped the curb at about 25 after over correcting for a truck coming into her lane. Broke the lower control arm, spindle, axle, and sway bar link. Bent to the point of replacing the engine cradle, strut, rack & pinion, and both passenger side rims. Also wasted both passenger side tires. So, my project budget took a back seat to that nightmare.

On a brighter note, I have made some progress on what I have affectionately been calling the "Mitsundai" as far as the gathering of parts goes:
^^I got to turn this^^
^^Into this^^
I also got a Mitsubishi turbo ECU and had ECMLink do their magic on it:
^^GM MAF to Mitsubishi MAF (Thanks to ECMLink)^^
^^To connect to ECMLink via OBD port^^
I am going to have to change the engine wiring harness to Mitsubishi (or at least most of the plugs) because at first glance they look the same but Hyundai changed them just enough. This will probably save me money in the long run, I have had a few parts that were fun to find b/c they were Hyundai. Eclipses grow on trees around here, not really a problem to find anything for them.
Hopefully, I have as little trouble finding the time to work on it this year as I do those parts... More pics and (hopefully) more progress to come.
