It's getting a new clutch at the moment cause he fried his last one...i was there...the smell was rancid...anyway, here it is.

1996 Eclipse GST Spyder

I'm not 100% sure on all the mods, even though i've put most of them on for him, i just did the work for him, but if you're really that interested i'll give him a call on the specifics. He's got intake, cat back, bov, turbo timer, lowered(obviously), and those big ole 18" rims(not sure on the brand). Anyway, this is gonna be my quick car for a few summers. I have a few plans of my own for now. Anyway, here's the car.

Just your run of the mill DSM, but it will be fun to have.

Welcome the the land of DSM's

muahahahahahah!

When "others" leave, more will come.

looks pretty nice, and I like the rims...but if he burnt the clutch don't you wonder how else he abused the car? are you sure its reliable?

I know how he abused it, the only way he abused was because he's god awful at driving stick. Other than that though he really didn't drive it all that much, probably about 3000 miles tops. I have the complete service history of it from the local Mitsu dealer to, i think it will be reliable enough, it's only setting me back $7K. Anyway, thanks for the replies everyone, even from you civ my little Savage friend.

do an AWD conversion.

The mounting points are identical in the spyder and gsx iirc.

That would make a fun project but i would have to put way more $$ into it than i want to. I suppose if i get stuck with it for some reason i could do that though.
