#117576, "GI: Built 99 Eclipse GS"


          

So I am making this thread to see what kind of interest I could generate for my car. The car is a 99 Eclipse GS with a shitload of mods, all listed below. Body is in great condition, with no major dents and almost no rust. The front bumper could use some fresh paint due to a lot of highway miles, but other than that, its in great shape.

The motor is brand new and only has about 6K miles on it. Clutch is also brand new (CM Stage 4) and only has around 600 miles on it. Tranny was just recently cracked open and resealed with a new input shaft seal and axle seals. Also just recently changed the oil pan gasket and replaced the OPSU.

The car has absolutely no major issues, and almost all the work on it was done by myself, so I stand by it. The only two minor issues it currently has is a slight whistle under boost because it needs a new IM gasket. Leak is minor, and idle is not effected and car holds 16psi through redline. Also, there is a veryyyy minor leak coming from where the tranny meets the block. My guess is that its either the rear main seal or a tranny leak. Other than that, the car is problem free.

Below is a link to my cardomain page which has pictures as well as a detailed mods list. Please let me know if you are interested. Serious offers only.

I don't know man. I am tired of the little things. I have had the car for a long time and really enjoyed it. I just think I might be ready for something new. Kinda want to get an old Z06 Vette to be honest..

I love the car man, but I just think it MIGHT be time for something new. I am not dead set on selling it, as it is a great car, but I just want to see what kind of interest may or may not be out there.

The newer ones do have that massive 7L motor, but I like the look of the C5 body style better. Also, the newer ones are a little out of my price range.

I have been doing some looking, just for shits and giggles, and I am seeing 2004 C5 Z06's with around 20K miles on them that are selling for around 25-29K. And the trend I am seeing is that they were all owned by old men who used them only on the weekends, they lived in a garage under a sheet for their entire life, and they never saw rain or snow.

Seems like a pretty sweet deal to me!

Whistle noise was fixed. Turned out to be loose TB bolts.

Also looks like the fluid I was seeing may have just been residual. The leak may have been resolved when I changed out the oil pan gasket and OPSU.

Anyone??
