97860, FS/GI: 1998 Widebody Eclipse RS-Turbo Posted by eclipse982nrRST, Sep-05-06 08:45 AM
I am thinking about selling the Eclipse within the next month or so. I just dont have the drive to work on this thing anymore. I am getting sick of throwing the money and time into this car. Its a great car, but the time just isnt there anymore.
I have thousands of dollars in this machine, and I willing to let it go for $14,000.
Its got a fully built head, fully built bottom end, Neon 3.55 trans swap, Widebody kit, HOK paint, Carbonfiber hood/mirrors, Amazing turbo kit pieced together including the Garrett GT35, MSnS, huge intercooler, Greddy BOV, everything. I am also including the old fuel/turbo setup with the car, which is the Turbonetics 60-1 Turbo, SFMU, SAFC, and FCD. The car is capable is high boost, as I ran 25psi on this summer. I am not willing to go any lower, and I am giving anyone from 2gnt the first shot at it before it hits ebay possibly next weekend. Its been fun, but I am getting tired of it....
I am also including the fiberglass speaker box for the hatch which includes 3 12" subs, 2 7.2" LCD screens, and an xbox, fiberglass box for the rear seat that holds an n20 bottle, 3 amps and 2 6" tv's.
Will not go any lower on the price and I am willing to drive 100 miles to deliver.
Thanks. PM me for pics.

My advise Mike, at least put it on a Dyno. You will regret selling it and not doing it. Trust me I know!
Good luck, sorry to see you sell it. Buy an AWD and I will ban you... :thumbsup

Dude! Mike! Why do this? All the work, all the sweat. Yeah, I've thought about selling mine too for an e-46 M3 or an evo. I didn't though. Keep it. I've told myself I will never sell mine cause I will never get out of it what I put into it. The cars your baby man. I know it means a lot to you. Just buy another car. Why not have two?
We need to talk- Rob

400whp? Come on Mike you asking this amount of horse to be too easy. Your not going to get 400whp in the time table your asking for it. The MS takes time to tune no matter how good you are. You need to give it more time and patience. That turbo can do it I am sure but the MS and you will need a little time. Give the MS 1 year and if you cannot see improvements in tuning then I will help you sell the car. 400WHP has to be worked for, it cant be easy. I am not saying you didnt work for it but the tuning work is a whole different universe. You are going to open up doors you didnt expect and certain aspects of the MS will make that car feel new to you once again. I understand with a child time will be hard but its a great sunday hobby.
Do you want to be another SIUECLIPSE?

Yeah, cmon mike! Listen to your car, talk to it, it will tell you how much it appreciates being different colors, and facelifts, and... ok, don't ask it, might be a bad idea. I have two cars, I debated selling both of them and getting one really cool car when I fried my pistons, but I stuck it out. I don't think it will ever leave my hands. I got it brand new in 99' it has 55k miles on it, and I've had too many good memories in it.
I mean cmon, it could beworse, it could be a wrex!
