Posted by MITSUracer123, Jun-02-09 09:48 PM
Hey guys im new to the 2GNT site. I actually been looking at it for like 2 years but never posted. So thought i would put up my new 2G. Its my 3rd one so far.
So hears the story, i picked it up for $500 as you see in the pics is the whay i got it. I know no one will like the body kit and no one on Tampa Racing like it either but it came with the car. And its all molded together. No body lines at all, and needs some body work due to Its all fiber glass and cracking.

1996 Mitsu Eclipse RS
7,200 on motor
10:1 JE pistons
Eagle rods
Crower Stage 1 Cams
Headman Header
GS-T axle back
Custom short shifter
AEM short ram
Front and rear motor mount inserts

Wow are those clouds in the pictures or just blemishes. Either way it looks weird.

Damn. All that work and you kept the '96 smiley front end and hazy headlights...

Oh and loose the painted drums. No need to call attention to the fact that you have base-model rear drum brakes.

Agreed, I painted mine black to make them dissappear as much as possible.

Looks nice. I would change the headlamps, front bumper, paint the rear drums black and throw a coat of clear over the tail lamps.

hmmm not my cup of tea, but it looks good. As staded above, either paint the drums black or throw some discs on there. I did and it was damn worth it. WHAT is that thing next to your air filter?? Oh yeah,and you NEED to do a 2GB conversion.

Thanx guys. The reason for the 2Ga bumper is that i bought the car and it had no bumper due to it being ripped off, it was a blitz fron bumper though. And i needed one fast so i got this one ceap and fast.

I have been doing many things to make it beter than when i bought it. i just resently put in a new trans cuz 3rd and 4th gear syncros were bad and had a bad input shaft bearing. New trans has the neon diff in it too. Yesterday i was putting on the new header and cleaning out the TB.

On the brakes subject i already have disc conversion under way. im collecting the parts i need. All i have right now are the calipers and pads and rotars. All i need now is backing plate and brake lines. So anyone who has backing plate let me know plz! No clue if awd and fwd backing plate/ebrake assembly is the same.

ill post intiour pics soon. thanx guys.

Not bad. Where are your window cranks? I have a set if you need em they are painted blue but not hard to repaint. Also do I see 3 switches below the radio? What are those for?

well the car had some sort of electris windo motors installed but they went bad and i guess he took them out and i use visegrips lol to roll them up now.
the blue switches are what he used for his inside blue lights. which i removed. i resently used the switches for my wet ZEX kit. i put a 75 shot on it a month ago.

And yes i know my insde paint job sucked for that door, thanx for saying it in a nice way.
