1st one in Canada to have it. Our supplier only had a couple show up in the first batch and I got my hands on the first one out the door and had it installed the day it arrived. I guess I got lucky but my store has great relations with the distributor for Eclipse here
Yeah, these rims werent that cheap. With the BFG g-force rubber mounted, balanced, lock nuts ect... shipped to my store cost me $3,009CAD. But it doesnt help that our dollar is only worth like 0.82 on the USD. Anyhow, I dont care much, I love them and how they look and besides I get to right this stuff off through the store lol.

Thanks alot man, really appreciate all the nice comments on my ride. Yeah, that damn idle thing is driving me nuts. I think I may be getting closer to the problem and this to me is very interesting. I remember now that this problem didnt arrive until after I had my centerforce dual compression clutch and lightweight aluminum flywheel installed and from that point on this problem has been there. So I did sooooo much researching and testing certain things on the vehicle to try to figure this out and from the findings that I have now it seems as if the lightweight aluminum flywheels can definitely cause an idle issue even stalling the car and when many performance mods are done to the same car the problem basically can amplify itself as such in my case. I dont know enough about the flywheel to understand this theory but it doesnt hurt to have a look at it. I am going to try to find a cheap stocker flywheel around here shortly and when we install the OTTP rotated mounts and axles and the other jazz we got I might try swapping the flywheel and see what happens. I dont think it can hurt to try because Ive run out of options here.

Ohh, lol.
Yeah, its a sick unit but a few things Eclipse should have done compared to the AVN6620 is keep that damn 7 band parametric EQ rather than just putting the 3 band EQ and not having the dual zone due to SD drive navagation kinda suck in some applications too. The nice thing is that the ipod harness is just a harness and doesnt require the extra module, also this one can charge my iphone as well as ipod video playback and the built in bluetooth w/external mic is great rather than the gaudy mess of modules/wires in the old add on parrot set up with the 6620. I also really like the touchpad for making calls and not having to touch the phone at all is sweet. The navagation part is amazing as well, soo much further advancement over the 6620 so all in all basically I would have been much happier if they would have went with the 7 band par eq and also further in depth sub controls rather than just sub gain and x-over-on/off.

That is the best thing. Also, its even much better than the hard drive nav aka AVN7000 because its even faster response time and soo easy to update it as well by using your computer to upload updated mapping onto an SD card and so on. I love how there is no VSS wire and how it tracks your speed via gps signal, its very accurate which is nice. So many new vehicles are such a pain in the ass to find the vss wire that we stopped installing that feature on most newer vehicles.

Do you have the ipod cable yet? They havent arrived yet at my distributor so Ive been going nuts without it. If you know where to get one now mabye send me a pm and let me know where I can pick one up in the mean time. I know the US gets there hands on this product before we do in Canada so if thats the case then Ill buy one from down there for my demo car and wait on the backorders for the inventory units.
