Here's my 98 Eclipse RS 5spd I picked her up back in February of 2011 for $850 with 190k with a new timing belt and clutch. I got it as my first car since I've wanted a 2G DSM since my bother got his 96 ESI back in 06. The car now has 220,420 miles and the only thing that's went bad on it is the water pump other than that its been the most reliable car in my house.

one question; how much you have spent in all the "reconstruction" and "un-rice" process?

Thanks! I've put about $753 into the car, that's not including a few part that have been needeing to be replaced down the road. It'd be a lot more if some of the parts didn't come from my brothers old 96 esi.

Quite the transformation man. Nice story for a change.
