1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder N/T Vehicle Profile & Build Thread
Showcar Build 

Here’s my ‘97 Spyder I just picked up, starting from a blank slate on a street/show build. First step: new wheels, tires, and coilovers going in today! Next step will be deep clean and paint touchups. Pics are prior to any mods, blank slate.

Background
Deciding if I want to stick with a white/black color scheme or do a full paint job in a new color. More mods to come as I decide what to do and if my business continues to grow and allow budgeting for this.

Priority Item: Engine is burning oil like crazy, so need to rebuild it. Toying with idea of adding a turbo, but not sure if cost is worth it, I’m not racing anyway. Is it easier to add a turbo if I’m rebuilding engine anyway?
