Hi, my name is José and I am a 23-year-old folk from Portugal. I have always had a passion for cars, and especially for the sleek and stylish design of the Mitsubishi Eclipse. When I finally saved up enough money, I made the decision to purchase my very first car - a 1997 2G Mitsubishi Eclipse GS. I was ecstatic to finally have my own set of wheels, and couldn't wait to start driving it every day.
However, I quickly realized that owning a car also meant taking on the responsibilities of maintaining it. I found myself constantly fixing small issues, but never gave up. Instead, I embraced the challenge and used it as an opportunity to learn more about my car and improve my mechanical skills.
As I drove my Eclipse GS, I felt a sense of pride knowing that I was the one keeping it running smoothly. I may not be heavily modifying the horsepower, but I am improving its reliability and ensuring that it lasts for many more years to come.
My 1997 2G Mitsubishi Eclipse GS may just be a car, but to me it represents so much more. It's a symbol of my hard work and determination, and the results of my dedication to keeping it in top condition. I am the one writing its story, and every mile I drive is another chapter in its journey.
I have big plans for my 1997 2G Mitsubishi Eclipse GS. My goal is to transform it into a true sports car, capable of delivering thrilling performance on the road. To achieve this, I plan to make several modifications to the car's engine. First, I will turbocharge the naturally aspirated 4g63, giving it the boost it needs to unleash its full potential. Additionally, I will install a sport air filter to improve airflow and further enhance performance. These modifications will take my driving experience to the next level and bring my car one step closer to my ultimate vision.
Along with turbocharging the engine, I have other modifications planned for my 1997 2G Mitsubishi Eclipse GS. One of my goals is to convert the front-wheel drive (FWD) setup to all-wheel drive (AWD), which will improve traction and handling, especially during performance driving. Additionally, I am giving the car a thorough infiltration and rust treatment to prevent any future corrosion and maintain the car's longevity and appearance. These modifications, along with the turbocharger and sport air filter, will make my Eclipse GS a true driver's car that will provide an unforgettable driving experience.
