Most of you have seen my car. if you havent, ask a few people, and they probably can vouch for it. I have decided that now might be a good time to part ways with my baby… ASKING $9,750 Red, 5spd, moonroof, gray leather, 95k (w/ 2k on the new motor) The Good Stuff… Engine: freshly built 6 bolt 4g63 bored .020 over (500 miles of progressive breakin and 1500 miles of regular driving) fully machined and balanced wiseco 9:1 forged pistons 1g rods clevite 77 bearings ARP headstuds cometic headgasket comp street/strip grind cams (equivalent to hks264s) ferria valves all new turbo plumbing resurfaced 6 bolt flywheel with new act 2600 clutch Turbo and Fuel: Big16g turbo Greddy big fmic and piping apexi avcr digital boost controller RC 550cc injectors walbro 190lph fuel pump apexi safc a/f controller Exhaust: apexi n1 3" downpipe apexi n1 3" exhaust ported 2g exhaust manifold ported 2g o2 housing Suspension and Rollers: tein flex suspension (fully adjustable coilovers and struts) fully aligned by goodyear new dunlop sp sport fm109s all the way around stock 17x7 2g gsx wheels Stereo: pioneer 7400mp cd/mp3 player pioneer 4 way 5 3/4" door speakers pioneer 6x9s kenwood 600watt amp mtx 10" subwoofer in sealed truck box in the trunk Exterior: it is in superior condition for the car being 8 years old. i always keep it waxed and washed. it has been garage kept while i have owned it. there are a few minor blemishes, scratches and dings, but nothing noticeable. the paint still shines very nicely. Performance: last year it ran a 12.8@108. this was a on a stock motor. i would estimate that it would realistically run a 12.5 as it sits right now. with more fuel support and a different turbo setup, the motor should be able to handle 400whp+++. the motor was built by myself under the close eye of don at hybrid connection. it runs well and pulls very strong. the car has been tuned to perfection by mike at innovative tuning. The Bad: the transmission has a small fluid leak. It hasnt been pinpointed, but i have had hybrid take a look at it and it is believed to be a seal. it leaks slow enough that it needs to be topped off about once every 2 months. there is a check engine light currently. the cel is becuase the egr and evap emissions are not currently hooked up. all of the sensors needed to hook these up are plugged into their wiring harness positions, but need to have vaccuum lines routed properly to work. as of right now, they are bypassed. i am asking $9,750 for the car as it sits. it runs awesome and pulls very hard. i will be sad to see it go, but i have some financial goals i have set for myself, and i would like to attain them. thanks, sam please, if you are interested, pictures will not do the car justice, call my cellphone and you can see/drive it for yourself 😃 228-7406 ---

> [@Carnut](#): > > WTFFFF??? after all that are you kidding me…also you are at 9.0:1 compression ratio. its a long story don… ill give you a call. i have some financial priorities right now. the reduction in price is because i realize what blue book is on the car, and i am not going to try to gauge people. i would like it to sell for what i have asked for it, or relatively close to it. with that said, the motor swap was something that i wanted to do for a learning experience. i did spend a pretty good chunk of change on it, and hybrid helped me out with it BIGTIME. however, it would be unreasonable to ask to get all my money out of it. make me offers people… [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-97-eclipse-gsx/2031.md?page=2)
