As of recently this car has been sold! It has been a great pleasure to own, drive and build. Unfortunatly I grew tired of her. I can only hope the new owner "Jared" will get as much pleasure out of her as I did. Congrats Jared, and enjoy!!
My New car Is a Lincoln LS. I will post pictures of her when I get some.

This was my "99" Mitsubishi Eclipse.Its the Special 10th Anniversary edition with the OZ package.As you will see I did a lot of motor work, performance wise. It had a bunch of miles but they were mostly highway.Or at least it did, until the timing belt broke.Thats when I totaly rebuilt it.It took two months but when it was done,It was well worth it. enjoy the pictures,And the tunes...And please dont forget to rate my ride!!!

Believe it or not,This car had over 148,00 miles on it, and still ran great.It just wouldnt die,or even get sick.It never left me stranded.Until the timing belt broke,I never had 1 problem.These two shots above are after motor work..

06/15/06 The Timing belt broke at 148,000 miles.My mechanic took my head and block to the machine shop for resurface and to bore the block .20 over. I just about restored it to new.I already replaced cv axles,New wheel bearing hub assemblys,Head gasket,valve cover gasket,Water pump,belt tensioner,timing belt,clutch,Clutch master cylinder,oil pump,and pistons.I put in all new valves, springs,clips, and gaskets.I went with stock oversized pistons and rods cause I shaved the head.I also took this opportunity to hone my intake manifold as well as put some headers on it.It ended up running right around 5 grand, But she was like new.Ive got a few picks Below.....(UPDATE)..Blew my trany 2 months after the rebuild,So add another 1,500 bucks and a rebuilt transmission to the list!!!

The pic above is the motor before timing belt broke.You can see the rusty color on the left where the head gasket was leaking.What a shame,I went through a lot of trouble to polish the heat sheild for the old exaust manifold, but its in the trash now..Didn't need it with the header.Below is after timing belt broke....
