Let me start by saying I'm glad to be back in the game!
I just recently picked up a 1997 Eclipse GSX with a spun rod bearing and after a few months of looking I am very happy with what I found
The Good, dsmlink, 900cc injectors, afpr, fmic, evo3, fp manifold, mishimoto radiator, full 3" custom exhaust, prosport boost gauge, tuning laptop and chord, Clean shell no accidents, eibach springs "pro kit"
The Bad, Rust spot near back hatch on pass quarter panel, hood is trashed, headlights are pretty bad, front bumper is cracked, clear is pealing on driver quarter panel. I plan on taking care of all this before I drop the 6 bolt in "which is already in the process of being built."
A quick rundown of parts I already have,
Engine
6 bolt, 2g head
hks cam gears
kelford 272 cams
Arp studs
Oem composite HG
Poly bushings
Gates Timing belt
Bse elimination
new water pump OEM
New oil pump OEM
acl race bearings
OEM crank pulley
Tuning
DSM link v2.5 "for now"
980cc injectors FIC
walbro 255 "rewired"
fuel lab afpr
Exhaust
Full 3" custom turboback exhaust with stock magna flow muffler
Garret 52 trim turbo
Turbonetics t3 manifold
tial wastegate 38mm
5 bolt t3 02 housing to stock d/p
Body
New headlights, front bumper, sunroof and in the process of finding a new hood.
Plans on making a HD front lip along with this stuff. I'm also going to be preping it for paint and fixing the rust spot in the rear.
I don't really have a HP goal but I'm going to start at around 400 until I can get the right transmission to handle more. With that being said let me start by showing you my new project. Let me know what you guys and gals think!!
