- I've wanted an eclipse for over 20 years. I was never really been in a place where it made sense to get one until now. I purchased this GS-T for $800 running and driving. Once I began to dig into the car more I discovered an Evo VIII block that was junk mated to a DSM head. It became easier to get a new engine so I am in the process of rebuilding that now. The car has had a rough life and needs a lot of TLC but she is coming along nicely and I am loving the process.
