1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS

1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse Description

1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse with Black exterior and Light Grey Interior

This car had been my daily driver for the past three years but time has caught up with her and now it needs to go. I still drive this car occasionally but do not use it as my daily driver anymore because the clutch has started to slip and the car is consuming more oil between oil changes.

Pictures are current having been taken recently.

Issues:

• Clutch is starting to slip, it can still be driven but it is rather worn and you need to be light on the accelerator

• Shift lever is held together with racers tape and hose clamps. It works pretty well but still, you’ll want to replace it

• Engine uses oil, about a quart every 1,000 miles.

• A/C bearing makes noise (A/C does work)

• Passenger side door latch broke (you can open it from inside)

• Sunroof does not work. It doesn't leak, it just won't open.

• Rear interior has been removed. I used the car to haul around parts for a race car and didn’t need the rear seat so I removed it. It worked sort of like a hatchback pickup truck

• Rear strut is blown out but it doesn’t seem to affect handling

• Tires are 225/50-16 and have good tread but of mismatched brands (2 Michelins, 1 Falken, 1 Fusion)

• Paint is fading in spots and the previous owner appeared to put something gritty on the top part for whatever reason.

• Radio pictured is not included in the sale

There are some good parts on the car and the car is from California so it does not have any rust issues on the underside.

• Newer Kevlar timing belt and serpentine belt (at 145,000)

• Silicon radiator hoses

• New value cover gaskets

• Magnecor 8.5mm spark plug wires

• New MSD coil pack

• New radiator (at 145,000)

• New alternator

• New tie rods ends

• New catalytic converter (at 145,000)

• Comes with a set of 4 17 x 9 Drag Wheels (See Pic)

I drove the car back from Los Angeles and it was dependable and fun to drive the whole way back.
