#105736, "GI: Highly modded 96 NT eclipse"
May-14-07 10:06 AM by 96NTeclipse

          

I have finally decided to sell the eclipse. I don't need two cars and I need the funds to finish my last semester in college. I want to see if there are any takers on here first before it hits EBAY since this site has been a great help and I have bought and sold many parts on here. The car has 138,000 miles on it and 12,000 miles on the complete rebuild. All of the following mods and new parts were put on it at one time. I bought the car with a bad engine and built it up with the following:

Mods: (all new when put on car unless otherwise noted)
1. AEM V2 cold air intake
2. 60mm Modern Performace Throttle body
3. Intake is drilled and threaded for direct port nozzles (included)
4. Crane #12 nitrous profile cams
5. Crane Valvesprings
6. PT cruiser lifter and lash adjusters
7. Head is ported to the point that casting flash is removed and valve seats have been blended. Exhaust is smoothed, Intake is port matched to intake ports on head.. new valve seals were installed.
8. .20 over Ross forged 10:1 compression pistons
9. Eagle forged H-beam rods with ARP rod bolts.
10. Engine rotating assembly has been fully balanced and blueprinted from the AFX pulley all the way to the flexplate. The bottom end was assembled by respected engine builder that builds many of the limited late model and drag racing engines of the area.
11. ARP Head studs
12. AFX underdrive crank pulley
13. ARP main studs
14. MLS headgasket
15. 160 degree thermostat
16. Polyurethane engine bushings on the large bushings and the others have been filled with black windshield urethane. The engine is so well balanced that the vibration on the steering wheel is minimal.
17. DC sports ceramic coated header
18. New catylitic converter
19. Apex-i N1 complete cat back exhaust
20. MSD ignition coil
21. Accel Blue spark plug wires
22. 190 LPH in tank fuel pump… Has been rewired and all connections have been soldered for reliability. PLENTY of fuel pressure for the N2O kit.
23. Apex-I SAFC
24. SPEC Stage III clutch
25. Transmission filled with Royal Purple syncromesh synthetic fluid
26. Phantom Grip
27. B&M short throw shifter (set at 35 percent reduction… 50 percent is the other setting)
28. B&M T-Handle knob with nitrous activation button
29. Brass Bushings in shifter cable to replace rubber ones (shifter feels like it is directly in transmission)
30. Polyurethane shifter bushings to attach shifter to body
31. Three guage pillar with Autometer fuel pressure guage, nitrous pressure guage, and Air fuel ratio guage.
32. Direct port nitrous kit (NOS brand).. Kit is not fully hook up and has never been used. I'll include everthing in the kit but I don't have the aluminum tubes to run from the splitters to the nozzles. I also may be missing a few small tube fittings and ferrulls. But I have extra 6 steel braided lines I will include. Nitrous pressure guage is teed into the main N2O line from the bottle and a 4 steel braided line runs up to the guage.
33. NOS remote bottle opener (solenoid style)
34. Russell Steel braided clutch line to replace rubber clutch line
35. Russell Steel braided Brake lines to replace all 4 rubber clutch lines (brake pedal is really frim!)
36. 4 Tokico Blue shocks with lowering springs.
37. 17" Konig Imagines with blue anodized hex type lug nuts
38. Full Energy suspension Polyurethane suspension bushing kit. This coupled with the shocks, springs, and wheels makes the car handle like a racing cart!
39. Camber correction kit
40. Turbo eclipse rear wing
41. Pioneer DEH-P6800MP CD player
42. Mercedes SLP style front fiberglass fenders
43. Dash lights have been replaced with brilliant blue LED’s that really glow in the night

Now here are some parts that you wouldn’t call mods but were nonetheless replaced when the engine was built and installed 12,000 miles ago

1. Water pump
2. Oil pump
3. Clutch master cyl
4. Clutch slave cyl
5. Starter
6. Alternator (old one wasn’t bad but didn’t want to replace it if it was)
7. Radiatior hoses
8. heater hoses
9. Timing belt.. all timing belt pulleys… and tensioner
10. Front and rear crank seal
11. New front O2 sensor
12. oil pressure sensor
13. Both axles have been replaced with remanufactured ones from NAPA
14. Grey interior Carpet.
15. Both outer tie rod ends and the driver side inner tie rod end.
16. Both rear brake calipers ( bleed screws were seized and had to replace with new calipers.
17. New front brake pads
18. New shifter boot
19. Keyless entry system has been installed
20. Side windows have been tinted with 35 percent tint
21. New alternator belt and powersteering/AC belt

Now here are some things about the car that needs attention. The drivers seat lumbar is torn and needs fixing. The rear wing needs sealing and it leaks a little when it rains. I thought it was the back glass and sealed the back glass with black urethane. But it seems like it is the wing instead. The Air fuel ratio guage has a loose wire and needs to be traced down because the LED is hung on rich. The drivers side door ground effect has come off and it is because the tabs have dried up and torn off. I still have the trim and will include it if you think you can still attach it. My dad backed into the rear bumper and it needs fixing. You really can’t tell it too bad until you really look at it. But it will require a lil fiberglass and paint to fix it. The hood prop just needs bolted on to the body. I have misplaced the hardware that attaches it to the body and have not had time to go to the boneyard to get more. A power steering hose is leaking and will eventually need to be replaced. You have to add fluid to it periodically. And last thing I can think of is that the board that usually covers the spare tire is drooping because of the weight of the N2O bottle. It is no big deal but it is sagging down. There is no spare tire (weight reduction)

Few other tidbits is that the power sunroof works like new, and it had new Falken Z rated tires on the front and half worn Yokahama Z rated tires on the back.

That is all I can think of right now. I will take pics of it if anyone thinks they may be interested. I am going out to wash it again and shine the interior up a little bit before I do. I am asking $5000 for the car and everything I have to go on it like Nitrous accessories. That is less than half the cost of just the mods and new parts that I put on it. The car is located in Northeast Mississippi.

Car is now on Ebay. Reserve is much lower than the price I put on here. I believe I have fixed the leaking rear wing also. the rubber washer around the bolt hole was torn and all 4 have been replaced.
