Hey PNW'ers!
It all started when I was 17, and was trolling for a cheap car. And found a 93 eclipse N/T for $400 [because it was stuck in 3rd - Turned out to be the TCU failed] 150,000 miles. Got me to all my friends houses in Tacoma and Everett, and I literally drove 3rd the whole way for months [I didn't even care]
Then onto a 92 GSX, in dealership condition. Literally [for a $900 car I traded him]. I didn't have a job, so I sold it for $600. It only needed an input shaft seal [it leaked like crazy]
*Pictures are deep in my hard drive! Haven't found them yet.
Next up: 95 Eclipse RS. 2.5" Cat-Back, euro tail lights, imported crate 420A with 40,000 miles on it, and I went through 3 5-speed transmissions [kept locking up on me!! And the notorious 3rd gear grind / pop out]
After she was traded for the previous 92 GSX,
I got a 98 eagle talon. 213,000 miles. looked okay. It really was terrible other than the fact it would drive in a straight line safely.
1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS, Turbo
115K on body
in 2005: New clutch, block boiled / new mains / crank grind / new bearings / bored over / new pistons / head milled&3way valve grind with receipts
Rebuild miles unknown =[
I got it for $800!!
Runs beautiful. Interior is wonderful.
The hood flew up and smashed the windshield, and its just ruined. The hood bump smashed itself in! Make sure your hood is latched
