2000 Eclipse GT, the car has a few mods to it already and is going to get more really soon.
As of right now it has

03 front conversion (not complete)
6G74 3.5 swap
Full polyurethane motor mounts
Injen CAI
Apexi exhaust
Pioneer head unit
Kicker speakers all around
clear turns signals
Carbon fiber tails
Projector heads
Alloy gas cap
Painted the radio bezel
Thats about it for the mods so far, I plan on getting some new rims in about 2 weeks, megan racing lowering springs.
Im also wanting to get a HID kit for the projectors, tint the turn signals in the front some, tint the reverse lights, and re-tinting the windows.

but for now heres some pics

I noticed you're using the rear valve cover for your front?

The eclipse looks good bro! I like that version of it instead of the new ones. Any plans of lowering it?

Eclipse looks great, once you get new wheels for it you should put the eclipse wheels on the G, I have it on mine, and I love them. The G is clean, just get it painted.

No im not, this is the 3.5 diamante engine, there valve covers are all black because the originally have a plastic engine cover covering the front

Well i would but the Eclipse rims are bent all to hell, the last person that owned it must have lived on the curbs and in the pot holes...lol
and yes the G needs paint, shes sleeping in the Driveway right now, its not been driven for a couple months now i need to get insurance back on it.

I want to eventually do that swap to my 6G72.. Thats the first 3.5 swapped eclipse I've seen.. We have a member on here that has done that on his 8G..

I love it, my eclipse is way more aggressive then my G. To me driving the Galant then getting in the Eclipse and taking off it makes my galant feel like a 4 cyl!!
I would suggest this swap to anyone. After i find me the 5speed swap im going to look into getting another 6G74 for the G

How simple was the swap, direct fit? What gave you the most trouble?

id say getting the Check engine light to stay off is the main thing. My Eclipse is one of the only ones that is running on the 6g72 ECU, injectors and many other parts with out the CEL. Also had a little trouble out of the throtle cable sticking at first too but its all good
Everything else is mainly direct swap, my suggestion is when you do the swap try and find a donor diamante that has the pretty much completed front end available incase u have any problems.

What's the advantage of using the 6G72 ECU as oppesed to using the one from the Diamante?

From what i know, 01 or higher ECU from the eclipse is flashable with the baseline 3.5 tune or better. Ive never know of anyone using the Diamante ECU so i dont even know if it will work in the Eclipse
