1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse Turbo Description
I am the original owner of this 1997 GST 5 Speed with a 6-bolt swap. The 6-bolt is a somewhat coveted red-top from a GVR4. The engine has fewer miles than the chassis. The chassis is clear of rust. The only spot of rust I know of is on the sunroof and it is small. I have another sunroof that will be included that if rust free. The interior of the car is in excellent condition. Mechanically the car is in very good condition. I say very good and not excellent because the water pump seals need to be replaced, in particular the o-ring at the input. Parts cost for this is minimal (rockauto.com). The exterior is where the only real problem lies. This last winter I hit a patch of black ice and banged into a barrier at 10-15mph. The damaged area is shown in the pictures. The vehicle has many additions, some performance others not. The list of these is as follows:
New Walbro 255 Fuel PumpNew Aeromotive Fuel Pressure RegulatorNew Fuel Injector SealsNew Plug WiresNew Act 2600 ClutchNew Act Lightened FlywheelNew Rear Hatch StrutsNew KYB Struts - AGX (Rebound adjustable all 4 corners)New Ground Control Coilovers (Springs made by Eibach)

And there's more... I'll be adding things as I remember them.
The car rides very well and corners great... some would say it's harsh... I think it's great. I have all the paperwork from when the car was purchased, even the window sticker. After nearly 20 years of ownership it's time for something new. If you do a vin check you might see three owners listed. At one point I had moved to NYC (didn't need a car) and signed the car over to a friend. I am the first and (I guess) third owner according to records. You can do a VIN check at vehiclehistory-dot-com if you want. It's pretty clean.
I will not ship this so if you are not able to pick it up in person you will have to arrange for shipping.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

When the clutch/and flywheel were put in I had the transmission checked. It is in excellent condition and has new fluid... BG Synchroshift.
