Just recently purchased tell me what you think!

1997 Eclipse GSX (AWD,TURBO)

Test drove it for about two hours across town for my mechanic to look at it runs great! a little rough around the edges but mechanically sound! Anyway let me know what you guys think.

nice! looks like mine! silver 97 gsx aswell keep her up to date with maintenance and she wont steer you wrong. atleast i hope!

Nice ride. Beware the front shock tower rust on the 2G's. Oil spray is your friend, especially in the snow belt.

 

[directorque]

looks great weclome

 

[greezy]

Thanks guys took a few months to track one down

Welcome to the DSM game Looks like a nice one you've got there.

Enjoy the GSX looks good imo.

thanks guys!! been a 2g dsm fan since they first came out since the wife sold her car i gave her my benz and decided i wanted something fun!

 

[Tanro]

Looks clean as hell. Good deal in my opinion. I payed half that for a rough but daily driveable 2ga gst.

Gonna be doing a 2gb face lift followed by GSX wheels and then if my 1g talon parts car allows and AWD swap. Dunno yet if the AWD parts on it are compatible with second gen. Not really worried about it until the new 6bolt and 2gb facelift is done.

Welcome! Silvers seem to be verrrryyy popular, . I have one

 

[greezy]

i was hoping for black or red but was not patient enough. I love the silver though, i am around you im at iliff and parker.

Car is bone stock, first mod is probably struts but im in the process of updating all maintenance (spark plugs, head gasket, A/C, Timing belts, etc).

 

[manny correa]

sounds good! so whats your overall goal? street/strip gsx? or just dependable daily driver..

 

[talondave]

Nice! One of my friends just got a mint one owner 96 Talon Tsi awd Auto (86,750) miles for $900 bucks!!! The 40 year old man did not know what he had!

Wish I would of seen it first

 

[brandon1239]

Like you I wanted a RED one sooooooooooooo bad, go impatient myself!

not sure about the complete plans, but going to do small mod by small mod. Anyone tell me how much it will cost parts + labor for replacing a head gasket.

It won't be cheap. I'd say more than $1000. You'll have to call around to local shops to get an accurate quote. Try to find a shop that fixes DSM's. That way, you won't have to worry about it not being fixed correctly.
