eBay Motors: Mitsubishi : Eclipse (item 320230134177 end time Mar-26-08 21:00:42 PDT)
Looks cool. Anyone have any more info on this car, or ones like it?

well thats interesting....lots of work done inside...

Well it is a claimed drift car...
But I wonder with all that fabrication, why not switch the engine from longitudinal, to latitudinal (I believe those are the correct terms?) to eliminate the t-case, and eliminate a non essential moving part. Thus less resistance and more power to the wheels.

They are probably selling it as is cause they ####ing broke it.

Interesting. I'm loving the flat black paint on it. Looks stealthy as hell.

Yeah! its one sick ride, but wondering why they are selling it...

Thats what I was thinking....




Although I must say, I have always wanted a RWD 1ga. I must also say a good flat black paint job is not cheap or easy. And although it's low light and just pic's, it doesn't look like too bad of a job.


Either way I wouldn't bather looking at it unless it was a local car and I could go drive it.

Those guys are in my neighborhood, I wonder if I could take it out for a spin...mmm?

The front end looks so "Mad Max".
I like the cage work though.

I'm not sure who's car it is, but I'll bet the guys over at Road Race might be familiar with it.

the cage work, fender flares, and center console was the only things that caught my eye. I dont like the front end at all.

I plan on getting another set of junk awd front axles and t case to try this at a latter date.

You mean transverse (The stock setup, engine mounted side to side) converted to longitudinal (front to back, V8 style).

Does that say GS on the back of that car?! Was that originally fwd?!?!?

If you click on the "get vehicle history report" next to the VIN it says GSX. I found that some early model eclipses just say GS, and turbo/intercooler etc below that.

I've always thought RWD just "fit" a 1ga. I'd like to do it, but if I did, I would make the engine longitudinal and throw out the original tranny, tcase, and diff. I would no longer fear timing belt jobs Sometimes I get sick of traction... The grass is always greener.

Yes awd is amazing, but rwd is a lot of fun to play around with. Too bad most people here have such a stigma about it, but I suppose they are entitled to their own opinions.
