    Still searching for a 2G Eclipse auto GSX or GST for myself. Gettin antsy. Almost considered selling the H3 or the VX. Its that bad..............


    Problem is, most are rough. The nice clean ones are across the country and are 6 or 7 grand. There are some around me for a couple thousand, but with lots of work needed. Upon my extensive research I'm leaning towards maybe getting a clean 2G shell and then building it up with a 6 bolt, etc.

    Leon R, what's your opinion on GS's? I may settle for this, since GSX's in nice shape are much more rare. Maybe throw a Hahn kit in it after I build up the 420A to hold the power.

    I am a total 4G63 and AWD fanatic, so you will not find me near an NT Eclipse . Take the extra time and buy the real thing!

    On a related topic, my AWD Talon is almost ready to go on the market...

    Who owns a Mitsubishi Eclipse?

    I own a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT
    So does my sixteen year old sister.

    Cool. Does that say something about me, or about her?
