hello, the names andrew, i bought this eclipse gsx for 1000 dollars 3 weeks ago although not the prettiest it was in running and driving shape. drove it for a day then the tuner bug bit me in the @$$! i wanted to make it into a project. my goal is to transform this car from an auto to a 5 speed, do all the matenience, and give the old beast some more umphh while im at it. as well as a paint job... i have aquired many parts in the last couple weeks with many more to go. i already hit a couple speed bumps on the way. i bought a 5 speed trans from a 96 and a transfer from an early 96. didnt know it at the time turned out the trans was from a late 96 and has a 57t ring gear. when i needed one with a 58t to fit my new transfer so now i have the trans tore apart until i locate one. i guess i have a long road ahead of me. this seemed like a great site so i decided to join. i think the car will be worth it in the end tho
