1G 1992 Eclipse GS 1.8L car swapped to a 2.0T (blown turbo) (Car still runs) (FWD) Was a 1.8l car so cheap insurance Car is far from perfect body wise, clean fenders decent front clip, but RUSTY from there back, Interior is very clean, AWESOME 5 Speed TRANS (about 3k invested in trans alone, I think it is a Shep stage2 FWD ($2500) built but not positive) Evo forks, double syncro's the whole nine yards in the trans, Fidanza Aluminum flywheel and Fidanza 3.2 clutch kit New brakes all the way around, It did have that stupid DSM idle surge crap, but was a great daily driver sleeper car $1200 OBO CASH ONLY

Its in St Cloud if anyone wants to look at it I'll get pics if there is a demand for em

Here are pics, ps there is no radio or front speakers in the car, and the tach will cost an extra $200 if you want it, dash tach does not work or it wouldn't be in there.

Hahahaha.

And I doubt there is $4K in that tranny. My Shep Stage 3 was $1900. And the "stage 4" is about $2300-2500. Wait, you must have a dogbox in there?!! THAT IS AWESOME!

I'm not gonna lie doesn't hurt my feelings what you think and i was purely going by what I was told when I bought the trans (I bought it used with 5k on it since rebuild)(he was prolly including how much it cost to get it installed) And I didn't pay 4k for it, but its the best shifting tranny i've ever felt so I do believe he wasn't lying that there was a ton of money dumped into it. I'm not trying to sell the tach, I'd prefer to keep it, I'd prolly let it go with the car for $150 I paid $220 for it. If the car don't sell I'll keep it and throw a turbo in it or part it, no need to be nasty. The clutch and flywheel have maybe 500-1000 miles on em (just past break in) since I put those in. Cost on those alone from Summit was $700 ($242 for the flywheel and $425 on the clutch before tax) that alone is the majority of the price of what i'm asking for the whole car, if it comes down to it i'll pull it apart and keep what i want and sell the rest, I really don't think i'm being all too ridiculus.

Oh btw do some research before you go and bash someone, from the description I was given this should be a Shep Racing stage 2 FWD trans which is $2500.

Heres the link in case you can't find it on your own.

The guy I bought the trans from bought it for the motor, the guy he bought it from said he just dumped 4k in the transmission 5,000 miles previous, which would make sense if he paid someone to install it..... He had sent it to a guy in OHIO, imagine that Shep Racing is in OHIO, doubt anyone from MN would bother to send a trans to OHIO unless it was going to Shep, and from the description I was given (evo forks and double sychro's in EVERY gear) it should be the stage 2
