Underhood shots coming right up. The engine bay was a big selling point on this car for me. Haven't done anything to it yet. Excuse the Hyundaii valve cover. Don't know how the old one could've rusted away with how the rest of the bay looks.
Here's a short vid of startup, idle and some revs...
Yes I could imagine doing this sort of thing at some point in the future, I do plan to alter the apparance of my tails. Personally I hate the european taillights but I've seen white Eclipses make them work, might be the same case with black. I'll have to ask around and find out all the legal...
So for anyone whom it may still concern, there's a 97 euro GS parked outside my window.
Can't say I chose to go with n/a because there wasn't really an option. The GS-Ts are rare and at the moment out of my budget range, forget about GSX (thank you for the offer Kryndon but I wanted to go with...
Thanks man. Your car looks tight as hell. I did consider importing from the US and it still sits somewhere in the back of my mind. I'll scour the little we already have in Europe first though. Probbably will change my mind with time but I'f I'm ever making any more power than stock, I'd be fine...
Whoah. That was some brutal honesty Texan style to go with my morning coffee. Thanks.
The Lancer was a 93' 1.6 bought in Austria after being in a minor crash. My family put 200k kms over the 23 years we have owned her. Loved the car like family, we all did. Learned to drive in it 2 years before...
Hope you guys had a kickass weekend. I know this thing is dragging on more than most people are comfortable with. For that I'm sorry. Not being able to just drive to the car and having to rely on photos and questions is not making this easy.
Got a new candidate if anyone is still interested...
The white GS-T is gone. But for real, was that what passes for good condition with these cars? My old man who's a mechanic and spent the last 10 years keeping our late Lancer on the road moaned like a badly shot buck when I showed him the pictures.
Anyhow the search continues. The red car looks...
Been stumbling over a cheap-ish GS and never really paind any attention to it. From the photos it looks to me that it's in a very good shape rust-wise. Engine bay looks clean. The car has some rice to it, the mileage is far from okay and probbably was "raced" at some point in its lifetime but...
Here are some more detailed pictures of the white GS-T from Berlin. The car is far from pristine but probbably the best you can get in Europe unless you wanna spill 10k for a rust-free GS. Waddya guys think?
Locke did point out the driver's seat and the hole rusted into the hatch under the rear...
Hella thanks Kryndon.The choice has been made. I want a GS-T for a number of reasons:
1. I want a turbo version and a conversion is miles away from my league at the moment, so GS is out of the picture.
2. I plan to put the car in a garage the day snow hits czech roads until the day it melts...
Yep, as far as I could see there is no other way to reach you set up. Now there's the good stuff we're talking about. I take it she's still available? Do I pirvate message you or do we let others witness this miracle? :D
If you read the thread you know there's one thing that leaves me...
Holy hell mate. Can you het a photo of your car so we know you're not trolling? If it's really you and the car is not gone yet, let's talk bussnies.
Don't know what you mean by get out. Wrote you two e-mails already with no response.
Well, the guy still hasn't replied so I guess the GST is gone. Looks like when a cheap-ish import pops it's head out it gets smacked away in a few hours. I'll wait on for some time but I'm seriously staring to consider importing form the US. Just the other day I found a riced out GST for 2,500...
That still leaves me with the question of US/Euro taillight interchangeability. However since all GSX/GS-Ts are US imports, it's an issue I'll have to tackle no matter what. Miles better to wire some turn signals than to turbocharge a GS I guess. The GS-T guy hasn't responded yet. I'm going to...
Yeah I'm feeling it. Just wrote the guy with the GS-T, hopefully I'm not too late. There's one last thing. I don't know what's the deal with Germany and Netherlands but it seems to me they get a free pass whe it comes to turn signal color. The GS-T is not the first I've seen with red turns...
Alright. Big update time I guess.
I have settled on FWD turbo. Driving around town like a madman, doing some pulls and racing on the highway (maybe have a nice autobahnn trip) is what I want from my car at the moment.
You can notice that none of theese include the need for AWD. If i wanna get...
How much of a hassle is it to facelift a 2GA provided I get the headlights, the bumpers and whatnot? Don't really know how there are 2GAs past 96 but looking at them, they have much better mileage/price ratios.
For example:
2GB - '99, 124K, 9000 €...
Yeah I'm fixed on eclipse but thanks for pitching in.
This might seem petty and it probbaby is but is there more than 1 style of bumper on the 2gb? The two red ones in the pic appear night and day to me. Is the one in the middle different (more drawn out) bumper or is it simply the height...

GS-Ts are almost as hard to come by and pretty much the same price.
This one being an exception, but the low price/low mileage just screams crankwalk in waiting and I think the owner god damn knows it...
Thanks. Good question. Should've included that in the post i guess.
Believe it or not I want to daily it, which in my case however is pretty much weekend*1,5. I don't drive all that much since I almost live where I work.
When it comes to racing there isn't much to do here apart from the...
Been in love with the Eclipse and Mitsu's in general since I was a kid. Now that I'm starting to have some money and time to spare I think the time has come to get one and baby am I excited more than is probbably healthy for the human physiology.
The first dilemma is which one and that's where I...
