Modern Automotive Performance: Your source for DSM performance parts!

Car is for sale. Looking to get into 4x4/some dirt cheap sleeper build.

If you're interested I'll sell the car, I also May sell parts off of it. Just let me know if you want something. I'LL TRADE FOR A STOCK WRX

This is my 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse. This is my first car and I never want to get rid of it. When I bought it I was too excited to actually look at what was wrong with it and ended up buying a heap of junk. It got to the point that I had dropped too much money into it to sell for a gst or gsx and I wanted real performance. so I put together a turbo kit peice by peice and eventually got to where it is today. I've never been one for body kits or wings. I painted it with Championship White paint to contrast the rims on it and called it a day. If you like it then rate me up.


custom made Turbo kit is installed and running great, fixed my oil drain line that was leaking and got my wastegate dumped back into the exhaust (page 5)
