FS: *** SHPYDER for sale ***

[Shpyder]

It is time...

I thought I would post it here on AF, before anywhere else. Maybe one of the brethren migth be interested. I have tried to include as much info as I can think of right now.

Ahem. Okay.

Up for sale is my 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GS-T, 5-speed.

VIN: 4A3AX55F4VE020804, title: clear, registration: renewed CA.

The body has 128,815 miles on it, as of this posting. The transmission is stock. The fuel system stock. The motor (head and block) are completely new.

Other new things: starter, battery, clutch master and slave, ACT 2100 clutch w/ resurfaced fly, turbo, front brakes w/resurfaced rotors, plugs, wires, and K&N.

Here are the specifics, and I have reciepts and proof of 90% of the work.

NEX SS coilovers: no damping control, height adjustable only, w/ Revo Tecnica camber kit



That's the gist of it.

The major bad:

The car broke down recetly, as you all know. It was the master and slave clutch cylinders, I just replaced them. The car runs fine now.

The "I-can-live-with-it" bad:

Cosmetically, the car is in great condition, but the soft top was vandalized. I have it ghetto-patched, and it does not leak, but looks yuck (see pics). There is a small ciggy hole near the rear window by the previous owner.

You will need a new shift-boot, mines coming lose.

Also, though I have not yet smogged it, I'm almost sure it will fail CA smog regulations.

The FMIC, being tube & fin and thus a little more delicate, looks worn from freeway driving: lots of dings and cuts to the fins.



I am asking for $13,000, no trades or part out requests please guys! I would much rather sell it to someone within the DSM community is is cognisant of what these cars are capable of, in terms of both performance and problems, than someone else. Give me a best offer. I know I want to sell it for as much as I can, and I know buyers want it as cheap as they can, so I am willing to reach reasonable compromise if anyone is really interested.

PM me. E-mail me or call me (PM for number).
