Hey everyone,
I am currently in a position to get a 96 Eclipse GSX. I'm going up to central jersey to check it out, drive it etc etc before I make the decision. The car is very clean and from pictures looks pretty well kept, It needs some work but Challenge accepted.
1996 Eclipse GSX 5 speed, its got a 6 bolt swap, 16g turbo, greddy type rs bov, apexi turbo back exhaust, fmic, 6 puck clutch, greddy PRofec B spec 2 boost controller, AEM wide band A/F guage, Alpine flip out. Its un-tuned right now at 8lbs, runs and drives fine as his daily. He's asking 3600 for it. What concerns me is the timing belt of the 6-bolt mainly, I know they need regular replacing but I'd like to have time to learn it all hands on before NEEDING a new one right away. Anything I should pay attention to or look for?
Let me know, I have an 02 3G GT right now.
