This is my 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. I bought it on Monday July 14th, 2008. When I got the car it ran but the clutch was slipping, ball joints needed replaced and a few other things. This thing is just sweet on turns since its AWD, it just hugs that Rd like nothing. My goal with this car is to Stroke it but for now im doing a basic build so I can dick around. The stroker kit with HKS parts is still my goal.

 

What it looked like when I first when to see it. Thats where it sat for almost a whole year.

July 24 with the help of my dad and grandpa I put my clutch and tranny in. It was a pain in the ass to put back together but with their help I got the job done. It had snapped tranny bolts inside the block and drilling those out was another pain in the rear too... the clutch that was in there looked fine but there was that gap in the tranny.

9/6/08 I installed my 97-99 eclipse front bumper. I used spray cans to paint it so that why it looks kinda shitty, but it is still car paint just injected into a can.

 9/16/08 My HKS BOV arrives in the mail

9/18/08 I custom made the 1G flange to fit into my 2G stock plastic shitty pipe. It works fine, but I wish I could vented to hear that HKS sound. The car seems to be running a hell of lot better with this HKS BOV.

10/5/08 I was bored and, since my car hasnt been running for a while cause I took the turbo and oil feed line out, I took my ECU out just to see if it was EPROM. Well I had a feeling it was and it was, Chyea!! that made my day cause now I know I can run DSMlink on my car.

 

10/9/08 I went down to slowboys to get the right oil feed line from my car. well the car runs dam good now since I also upgraded the turbo. My friend said it was a T28 but I dont really think it is just because its similar to a T25. I can tell how it was machined inside and the number are diff from the T25. It seems to pull better but idk, something tells me they look similar but oh well it pulls good for stock. now that its back on the RD I will be taking it to my friends house to pull the motor out and rebuild it. I will be starting tomorrow so ill probably have some pics. well here are some pics I took today of the turbo.

Very nice ride���Please come and check out our 1984 CJ-7, We Call B.O. "Blue Ox" It was hand built with help from Randy's Off Road Connection in Marysville, WA. Clean this thing up and you will win trophies at the local truck show. The front and rear axles were built by CURRIE ENTERPRISES. They both are 6 LUG DANA 44's w/ 11" brake kit and 4:56 gears. The Jeep also has Curries heavy duty rock crawler tie rods, drag links and steering box brace kit. The rear axle has the DETROIT LOCKER and the front has ARB AIR LOCKER. It was lifted 6 inches with Curries rock crawler springs that are connected to the frame with welded Currie spring hangers. ���NO LOW HANGING SHACKLES HERE" We get the power to them thru curries balanced custom rock crawler CV drive shafts. It rolls on Mickey Thomson rims W/ 35" SUPER SWAMPER SSR's. I also had them sipped for more wet weather/ winter traction. I keep her riding smooth with RANCHO RS9000 shocks. If it gets stuck I can pull her out with the Warn HS9500I winch. The paint is glacier blue with black interior Water proof bucket seats and full custom roll cage.

I'm not a big fan of Japanese cars, but I am of people who upgrade their vehicles wisely. You obviously know what you're doing and anybody would have to respect that. Which do you prefer the Mitsubishi Eclipse or the Ford Talon?
