The story:

Tah started this model a while back, toghether with the first F'n'F Supra. Sadly, he never released any of the two models, eaven though he finished the body on both of them. Tah let the models rest for a while, before thinking about them again. Then one day, while I was speaking to Da_Motax, he mentioned that Tah and him had been talking about the Eclipse. He said that Tah wanted to release it, but that Tah didn't have time to release it himselfe. So Tah decided to give ask me if I wanted to finish the model for him. And as I have known both Tah and Da_Motax a long time now, I snapped up the model double-fast! I had followed the model all trough it's modeling, so I know where the grounds lay, and what I was getting. What I got was a completly finished model, less the wheels and interior. I offered Tah a full movie replica interior, but he said that he didn't want me to use to much of my time on it, so we decided on a "GT Style" interior (dark interior, with very tinted windows).
Sadly, the Eclipse took a long rest on my HDD, because I was getting along with my Honda Civic. But one day not long ago, I got a kick, and felt like finishing the Eclipse. Maybe it had something to do with me watching F'n'F three times in a row, with no pause. So I used a while on the rims, ADR 8,5X19", so they looked good under the arches, and went with the overall quality of the rest of the car. After that, I went on with the "GT style" dark interior. That didn't take much time, so it was straight on to the tuning and .ar constructing. I gave out a BETA to a selected group of trusted people, to get some feedback. I fixed some bugs and minor faults, and that's what's sitting on your HDD now(hopefully). None of you, except the BETA testers, have ever heard these sounds before. The engine sounds is the second thing I "borrowed" from GT3, I've edited them so they sound great in game, if I may say so myselfe.

I hope this story hasn't been to tedious, the reason I wrote it, was because not many people know about the backround, and how it came to life again. Please enjoy.
