32722, NEW LINK and INFO for 17k drag eclipse project! Posted by drageclipse420a, Jan-14-04 01:38 PM
For the record, I'm not out to prove anything to anyone, I'm not out to compare my car against anyone elses. I'm just someone who wanted to build a stage 5 and got kicked out so I couldn't finish. That's IT! NOTHING MORE TO IT! So to all the people talking trash about the car...quit wasting your time. Every mod can be visually verified except the engine internals for which I can show a receipt from Triad Engine. Every mod can be priced online and you'll find many prices are BELOW retail.
I'm sure some people would have taken a different route in modifying this car and maybe know places to get better prices than what I paid or perhaps better parts! Well, more power to you. Wish I had met you earlier. Unfortunately, what's done is done and the car is for sale. No, I will not part it out...it's too integrated.
Here is the NEW link:

PS-hopefully 2g99RSNC will come over here and check it out so he can tell you first hand. Until then, don't assume.

I love this mod:
Altezza Tail Lights: $260
I bought a pair over 2 years ago for 120 shipped (and have since given them away *shudders*)
what Im wondering is that since he doesnt even have a turbo kit on there, how can it be stage 5? (that of course is in addition to the 2.2Ltr bore. know it has the axel/nitrous, head, and internals to be a stage 5 IF it had a turbo, but quite frankly it doesnt.
besta luck selling it, I'll inform the winning bidder of the blatent fruad after the auction.

The time I bought the altezzas, the retail was $300...this was over 2 years ago. I figured $260 was a good deal at the time. If you check around online and go to manufacturer websites, you'll find there is not a single price listed that isn't lower than retail at the time I bought it and in many cases currently.

The car's bid when you last checked on the original auction was $3,000. I did have a reserve price though. I sure as HELL would not take that low.

Prices have dropped a good bit since I bought these items almost 2 years ago...and the rims 3 years ago...the rims aren't even made anymore...they're very rare.

Common sense, education, and logic are appreciated when making posts on what I had hoped would be an educational message board.
The ad says "stage 5 drag project". A project as defined by dictionary.com is: "That which is projected or designed; something intended or devised; a scheme; a design; a plan."
Usage: "A project is something of a practical nature thrown out for consideration as to its being done. A design is a project when matured and settled, as a thing to be accomplished."
Note the definition indicates something that is intended, designed, or planned, not something that is completed. Enough said.

Agreed with the above. Some of you need to pay attention to what he's posted like 10 times...
I don't even know how many time's he's said he is IN THE PROCESS of building a car to "stage 5" specs (even though you really shouldn't thing in term's of "stages").
Stop calling him out for shit. He's backed it up, and another member is apparently going to check it out. Let it fucking go already.
And to the seller... this really isn't a good place to try and sell your car. After all, the reason we're all here is because we ALREADY have a DSM.
EDIT: editted for typo's and clarification. Word.

Ported/Polished/Bored out to a 2.2L and balanced (Compression 8.6)
Hell If that's possible I better bust out the Dremel :P
The rest of the car looks great. I just wanna find out who lied to the poor guy and charged him for boring his motor out to 2.2L

So I misused a word. If I knew so much about cars, would I have had to pay 3 shops to modify it for a ridiculous amount of $? I don't even have tools, lol. I've been corrected about the usage of stroked/bored many times already. I just forgot to correct it on the relist on ebay. And another person said it really can't be stroked to 2.2L only something like 2.143...can't remember the exact number. All I know is that the kit was called a 2.2L kit. If I was deceived, oh well...too late. All that matters now is that the car has to be sold ASAP.

I didn't think it would be, but hey...I'm desperate. The car really needs to be sold this month since I have to move out by Feb 5th.

my problem with the listing is he says its a stage 5 project when its not, to say its stage 5 ready is VERY misleading, I could post my car on ebay and say its stage 5 ready all you gotta do is get everything to upgrade it from where it is now. Thats exactly what hes doing. If he stated it was an eclipse drag project car, thats a whole nother story, but he's using the "stage 5" as a selling point.
having low compression in a NT car isnt good, and most buyers wont know this, I only chimed in at the completely re-cock-ulous "retail prices" the fucking dealership doesnt even over-charge THAT much.
and since hes so dictionary.com happy here ya go:
FRAUD: A deception deliberately practiced in order to secure unfair or unlawful gain.
relaying FALSE info about prices is FRAUD, and I will contact your high bidder. thank you please drive thru
PS: I hate kids that live at home while dumping "$16,944" into a car. If you had that much loot you should have saved it up for the real world!

Vehicle Description
You are bidding on a 1995 Eclipse RS with almost $17,000 in modifications. I bought this car to build a 10 second drag car with 500+ HP. It is fully built for a stage 5 turbo (30+ psi), has 500HP drag axles, a racing limited slip, and a Standalone fuel management system and is currently nitrous equipped (100shot NX) to hold me over until I got the stage 5 kit. The nitrous is on a TPS RPM sensor hooked into the MSD so it hits at 3000 RPMs and shuts of at 6800 RPMs in every gear for flawless engagement...
*******************
At what point in that paragraph did he say it was a stage 5 eclipse? No, he said it "built for a stage 5 turbo".
And he even goes further to say that it is "currently nitrous equipped to hold me over until I got the stage 5 kit."
Malenko you need to read the wording, because it pretty clearly states the truth.
PS: I hate kids that live at home while dumping "$16,944" into a car. If you had that much loot you should have saved it up for the real world!
That comment is pretty fucking ignorant. Period.

cereal5, I didnt wanna turn this into a big hoo-ha because quite frankly I dont care enough to.
Mitsubishi Eclipse 3 Doors Stage 5 Drag Project! $17,000 in mods!!!
THATS the statement Im talking about, listed in vehichle description.
as for my comment being "pretty fucking ignorant"...
first off ignorant means not knowing, I think you wanted to use the word rude. And I speak form the truth. I stared modding my car living at home, my mom told me it was time I stopped dropping my money into my car and saved up. Im sure him being given the boot wasnt sudden unless he did something dumb to piss them off.
ignorant rude, what ever, doesnt matter. If he was workin some place and got laid off and thats why he was selling his stage 57 prepped eclipse it'd be a different story.
let him "fight" his own battles or whatever, we disagree on this point and neither one of us are going to change our minds about it, so lets save some bandwith and time and just let it go.

No, I didn't piss my parent off. He's always pissed on his own. Actually my dad went through a midlife crisis, married a 25 yr old woman from Ukraine with a kid, got her pregnant, and now has 2 kids living here and then there's ME. I no longer fit into his dream life screwing a girl 3 yrs older than I am and having a new family. THAT IS WHY HE SAID I HAVE TO LEAVE. Am I happy about it? No. Am I mad about it? No..a little sad, but the fact remains, I HAVE TO MOVE OUT. I no longer fit into his life. That's how life goes. People go through different situations, people make different decisions, that's why everyone is different. My dad told me to stop modding my car a year ago and you know what I told him? HELL NO! IT'S MY CAR! That was MY choice, and now I'm paying for it.

If you would take a few minutes of your time, you can find prices higher than those on the internet. Also, contacting my high bidder would be obstruction of solicitation AND slander. This is illegal and charges can be pressed if the buyer chooses to back out of the sale and you have indeed contacted them at that point. This is the same as standing in front of Old Navy and saying their products are bad and not to buy them...they would have you arrested immediately. I'm NOT playing. I WILL sue you for the reserve price of the car if you interfere with my auction in any way.
I didn't come here to argue with you. I came here to sell my car or find some avenue of getting the word out about the car so SOMEONE SOMEWHERE could buy it and hopefully complete it.
Your commments are rude, innappropriate, and uncalled for. I'll be talking to my lawyer to give him a heads up on the situation. One email for you, one big check for me. Sounds great. STAY OUT OF MY BUSINESS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Okay...you're defending a person whose intention is to sabotage me selling my car and inadvertently affect my financial situation because he has a difference of opinion? Hmmm...sounds like something isn't quite right here. You, in HIS defense TRY to ban me from the board because I defended myself. I have been direct, but fairly friendly on this board considering the responses to my posts. I can't say I'm in the best mood right now, but unlike other people will NOT take it out on someone else without giving careful thought and consideration as to my responses. I'm sure there are other board members that would have done as I have.
Would you want your ebay auction tampered with? I don't think so.
