Performance Question About old school eclipse

If you havent noticed i'm new here.Let me explain my car situation first, I love Mitsubishi, My main car is a Chrysler Sebring lxi v6 auto (mitsubishi Engine) It has blitz body kit, cold air intake, custom duel exhaust, lowering springs,17 inch black rims,5% tint,ground wire'n kit,Ecu chip,Throttle body bore,platnium plugs and wires,spoiler,sony xplode,2 12's ,orange underbody, da da daaa
anyways the point, I quickly noticed the 3200lbs Sebring with 170hp was not a racer, and i loved older eclipses, i'm only 18 and found a 94 eclipse 5spd 1.8liter for $500, in almost prestine condition, no bumps ,still shines no rust, but needs a coil. I bought it and wanted to race it around here. Before you think anything, i know it has 92hp and weighs 2500lbs and it can be "fast" But up here theres nothing real fast. The fastest car in town is a 14 second subaru. Most cars are from 15 sec. to 17. I just want to keep up ya know.
Now i need sugestions, first let me tell you what i have, or have done so far,

First I stripped the inside,Took out the panels, carpet, seats, The Dash,heater core,ac, EVerything, the only thing in the car is a light weight race seat, steering wheel, and shifter, next week i am hooking up the new speedometer and tach.-so i cut some weight

cut the springs(I know Iknow)

Then i took out the power steering, ac, belts, units, and pulleys, also the air box went and so did the windsheild washor resiovor
put in a cold air Intake

Now my plans, tell me if it will work,Advance the timing, try the throttle body spacer,2.5 inch pipe all the way back with a high flow cat into a fart can,(i found a set of headers on ebay it says will work for the base but i'm scared)

Lexan windshield and side windows and a cheap fuel cell(cut down more weight)

Front and rear strut bar

Looking for a underdrive pulley, unless ones for the 2.0 will work, and ecu work somehow

I have a msd style ignition i want to get out in when they fix my coil, its a sport compact 6a, then some good plugs and wires with it.
but what all do i need to install the ignition?

ANd later on like thins winter slap on a body kit and maybe nitrous.

I know what your thinking, why would someone try to make this slow car fast, but i got to use what i have, unlike most kids around here mommy and daddy dont buy me a new 06 civic.
so please help, any suggestions

thanks in advance

I am willing to take some critisism

if my mommy or daddy( which i dont live with) gave me a civic, i would sell it because they are slow. but anyways, its gonna be kinda har d to get a N/A car to go fast, but id say intake, headers, exhaust. i dont critize anybody. id say forget the body kit because there is like only two out there that fit the 1G's, ( but thats just me).

lol
i hate hondas, my buddie got a 04 4door 4cyl.auto ivtec accord from his mom, i think my sebring could beat it but it has a broke flex pipe.
i just want to make this underdog car get up and move, plus it was the best deal i could find

well all in all how much money do you plan to spend on it?

If i remeber correctly the fastest n/a eclipse can only run about a low 15 sec. And that was with the 420a. With your motor being an even smaller engine there really is no way to make that fast without a turbo and some internals. But its all gonna have to be custom done because its will be pretty impossible to find a place that makes a turbo kit for that car.

Get a hedder and just leave it open, no cayt. Forget the throttlebody spacer, its a waste of money. Other then a motor swap thats as far as your going to be able to get. Be careful when advancing the timming, too far foward an you will bend a valve and need a new head.

well that sucks, even weighing nothing at all it will never run 15s i'm guessing

thats a tough car to make fast, especially when it was never meant to be in the first place

i know, i just figured the cars around here dont really runs anything under 15s so i would have a chance

where do you live?

Elkhart,Indiana, Most people roll in civic with an air intake and fart can and thats it. So if i can beat a civic with that i should be able to keep up around here, atleast until i can get something alittle better like a 420a eclipse or something like that


Also how do you put in a msd in this thing?

lmao, aww man I needed that.

i'm confuzed

not just the 420a engine if thats what your thinking lol i meant a 95-99 eclipse

Another Question is , everyone talks about boring they're 4g37 where do you get it bored at? I work at a metal shop is they're anyway i can do it? Pretty much i just need some direction

Boring and honing the cyl is for resurfacing the cyl walls so new rings and be added for better seal.

I knew that you ment a 95-99 eclipse 420a, thats why its so funny its also very slow. Thus slow-420a.

o, i didnt know how fast the 420a is.
Where or how do i bore it

basically u have to drill out like .20" and thats boring .20 over ..and no offence but you really dont knwo much about cars do you? i understand that you have bolted on things to your sebring but you baught an eclipse and thaught it was going to be like F&f fast? get a 2nd gen eclipse GSX or GST for a base motor then mod that one.. those motors are known for like 11's but even that is after @20k+ motor work... and the general rool of thumb around here is

if you spray your gay
if you spool your cool

N20 does nothing in these cars.....

The 2g engine that you want is the 4g63, not the 420a. The 420a comes in the GS and RS 2g ecplipes while the 4g63 came in the turbo model eclipses. The GSX is the best model to get with the AWD turbo

I dont know much about cars, thus is why i'm asking questions, and no i did not expect it to be fandf fast, who the hell said that? Its my first 5 speed 4 cyln. car, i wanted a high 15 sec. car, not a 11 sec. car not a nice ass car, and for $500 i couldnt pass it up
