everything is there on the engine except the turbo, oil and coolant lines for the turbo, lower intercooler pipe, exhaust, and the front motor mount(which ended up being in the trunk).

as of 1/17/04!!
after struggling with the drive axles i finally managed to pull the engine! everything looks good!

UPDATE!!! as of 2/8/04
i decided to say screw fixing up the 7 bolt motor so i went out and bought a 6 bolt motor. that should arive within a week or 2 then thats getting all new pistons, rods, and a lightened crank! for the head i will be porting + polishing it and running 272/272 cams, with 1mm oversized valves and dual valve springs!!

Looks great so far. I was wondering which tail lights are those on the white Eclipse? They look sweet!

Ill trade you my car.....oh wait u dont have the gsx, sorry. Haha im just playing. U are better off with the reg gst then the spyder. My car may look cool and all and it might be fun in the summer but these cars come with lines and lines of problems. The tops leak and ruin electronics, really bad frame flex, sounds like a twisting tin can, etc. If i was to get another eclipse i would buy an early model gsx. Come check out my ride sometime, lata.
