- Story behind the car:
I have been looking for a 2g Eclipse for a long time. I imagined the "perfect package" for myself: it had to be red, leather interior and automatic transmission. I've been looking for my target over a year, hoping for a GST/GSX to show up. But nope. Sadly, this car was never officially sold in my country. After looking into every corner i could, i had to realize that getting a GST or GSX in whatever condition would already be a challenge. But that did not stop me from getting one. Then one night i was checking the local car sales website and i spotted this GS with 420a. Not exactly what i was looking for, but it matched my "perfect package" requirements.
Plans:
Few minor things has to be repaired/changed. Everything that i found will be fixed. Nothing major, luckily.
For the engine, i will put a turbo on it, at first around 8psi of boost. Later i will upgrade the internals and other components to support more boost. My goal is ~250 HP.
