Little about my self I'm CJ have owned a few Mitsubishis in the past an 03 3g eclipse and an 91 Montero( first vehicle). Have always been into cars but mainly trucks and was looking for something cheapish, good on gas, etc as I finish my two other project vehicles and sell my huge diesel. And found a 97 eclipse for $700 bucks and went and picked it up. Guy didn't even know it was a gst!!Only thing that had even been done to it was fender well was cut out on the pass side for the intercooler, and rims other than that bone stock with all factory parts.
The bad: leaking rack and pinion, clutch kinda works, shifter was sloppy, broken tail light, broken bov, small oil leak from filter housing. and a few other nit picky things on my end.
bringing it home.
can see the broken tail light in this pic
and the stock engine bay complete with shotty bov fixed with jb weld or something
Got it in the garage and got the tail light fixed first thing on it the next day. also have another set of stock tail lights i bought for 15 bucks and just waiting to get them in to try some things out with them.
Got the new ngk 7131 plugs in it and took out some shotty e3 plugs and noticed my wipers were all sorts of jacked up and found this, got one on the way from cali as its cheaper than any local yard could match
Now fixing the broken wire on the filter housing and getting it to stop leaking
ordered a extremepsi intake kit and ngr bov to fix the broken stocker and keep it recirculated instead of to atmosphere and did the bcv mod while i was at it.
still waiting on my srs cat back exhaust to get shipped will be a week on monday since it was paid for. Decided to not use the stock flywheel and ordered a fidanza aluminum flywheel from extremepsi along with the oem release bearing, bearing clip, and oem rear main seal( might as well do it while its apart) which all those parts will be in this week. and how it sits currently waiting on the above mentioned parts.
