what maintinence? this car had everything done that could be done.
not to piss in your cornflakes…
but it is a heavily modded, heavily boosted DSM
This is PERRRRFECT for someone who knows what they are doing and can fix it when it busts.
Case in point: how much have you paid hybrid?
the car is rock solid as it sits, and if you drive it like a little old lady and get on it every now and then, it probably wont explode or anything
but if you pound the living piss out of it on a regular basis then, like any other car, its gonna assplode.
the car is a fucking steal though. You just need to get moving selling it though. To my knowlege its only on a few boards, that simply isnt enough. I guarantee if you spammed like 50 forums, or tossed it on ebay, that thing would be gone in like a week.
It was the same thing with my blue maxima. I posted it on ubrf, and a few other local sites, and got shit. I was asking like $9k, and the highest offer I got was $4k :bloated: I realized I needed to do something else, so I canvassed every forum in sight and it sold very quickly. You need to do the same…
Im still amazed youve been sitting on it for so long, that thing is sooooooooo clean and soooooooo fast. And built right.
my issue was that id be draining the ol’ bank acct to buy it, and being about to start grad school, thats not a position I want to be in. Ive managed to go thus far w.o any debt, and id like to keep it that way. I love the fact that I can walk into work tommorow and quit, and it doesnt fucking matter if I dont work for a few months. Thats a fucking good feeling… Thats my primary reason for passing on it. If I can hold out on spending any money for the next 3 years, I know it will pay off when I finally graduate…
3 more years. thats it. and i will buy my porsche turbo. Thats all I want out of life. $70k. I think ill be able to do it…
man if your getting a porsche turbo to hell with the eclipse,lol
dont kill me steve but is true, + i dont mind you hanging on to the car cuz you know if i ever get the chance to get 9k that thing would be in a drive way the same day.
but i must say i cant believe you still have the car, that thing should of been gone a long long time ago, i think ppl just dont like you 
i think you give me the car to sell 
hmm…piss in my cornflakes…
ive really got nothing to say to that. thanks?:gotme: argh, im too tired…dont even want to get into what/why i paid hybrid either… this thread sux. someone delete it.
In the grand scheme of things, Steve’s car isn’t that heavily modded at all. The setup is pretty mild, and already has the extra insurance of a semi-built engine and built transmission.
Edit: Sorry forgot you listed the mods on the first page…
thanks for that post. i couldnt find the right words to say to the “piss in my cornflakes”. hmm. i guess ill relist the mods again.
FS:1997 Eclipse GSX RED 5SPD
Ok just updating the ad because there are so many pages of nothing…
Bought this car last october, didnt drive it in winter, and as far as I know, it never has been. You wont find rust anywhere on it. Its a fast fun car. Reason im selling is because im moving in with my GF and can no longer
afford a nice car with a payment and insurance.
I dont have HP numbers or Track Times of my own. The person who owned it b4 me ran a 12.5 in the 1/4mi with this car, thats the best I have. This car is somewhere in the neighborhood of 320-350awhp or so i was told and is tuned for 23psi.

2 main things that I bought for the car are a new Transmission and a new clutch.
The Transmission in this car was built from T.R.E. and the link to the specs is here: http://teamrip.com/awd.html scroll to the bottom to the remanufactured AWD transmission. It was babied for about 600mi, and moderatly pushed for 400mi. Its never been launched or abused. I dont drive it hard. If any of you saw my first ad, I had a problem with 3rd gear, that has been fixed, it just need to be broken in.
The clutch that I purchased was an Exedy Stage 2 clutch which was just broken in and is holding the power very well.
Some other Miscillaneous parts and jobs that I have bought or had done are a new Radiator, steering rack & alignment, and slave cylinder
Here are some pics of the car after it was detailed from Diamond Detailing. Granted the pics are about a year old and were taken while the previous owner had it, the car still looks just as beautiful; a lot of people cant believe its a 97.

The blue book value for this car is just above 6k with 100000 miles which has gone crazy down since the time i purchased it. Since i was un aware of that my asking price has gone considerably down from 11.5k. With all of the mods in this car including rebuilt motor and tranny, I am looking to get 9500 and am pretty firm.
PM me if you’re interested… If anyone wants to take a look at it, I will be available all day today and friday…
Thanks for taking a look… Again.
Steve
added some picx…
9k ne one?
trade and cash. offering again. but i know u dont want it.
if this car has been repaired as extensively as claimed, this thing is a steal at 9K
buuuuuut i bought another DD so no eclipse for meeeee, sorry dude…
I am tempted but I cannot do 9 
Edit: unless u want to trade for a 240 with an SR and an Explorer lol
damn steve!!! 9k?!?!?!?!
argh!!!
damn minimum wage dead end jobs
lol, tell me about it…its almost not worth selling.
^ your right, you should keep it lol. take it off the road for a while? save the insurance money for the rent?
dont have another car to drive…
put GSX in storage and internet race it for a while, get a beater, and pay like rediculous cheap liability on it while you get on your feet with the loan on the car (if you even have one). then you can look for a better paying job and when you get it just put the GSX back on the road as an infrequent driver and keep the beater for “DD”. FTW
this car is just too secksie
