SO yea I thought I was gonna stay away from dsm's for a while, but just couldnt pass up buying a car, that I've been wanting for a year now. Im bored, so why not shout out what I got. Pics will come tomorrow, after it gets shined up.
Its a 1992 Eclipse GSX, 5 spd. Went and picked it up today from John here on mitsustyle. It's white, with black top, and 17 inch gunmetal rims. Black cloth interior, and what I believe to be a factory moonrooof! Got some stuff in it, nothing crazy, just a simple set up. Heres the mod list-
act 2600
recently rebuilt tranny
b16g
SAFC
FMIC
660s
walbro 255 rewired
battery in trunk
Blitz BOV
Ported 2g Exh mani
Ported 2g O2 housing
Full N1 exhaust 3" turbo back, no cats
boost gauge and MBC
Intake manifold spacer plate
17" gunmetal rims with good rubber
2g mas w/intake
Thats just copied from the pm, so Im sure theres stuff here and there. Deal with it, is that it needs a new ebrake assembly, and its got a leaky oil filter housing, nothing big. Plans for the next couple days are to give it some fresh brakes, have the guys at primo powdercoat and shave the valve cover, install fans that are not in there, and have a set of hks 264's that will be going in. All in all, Im very happy with the set-up, and im sure it will be some fun.

If I remember correctly, I think it has a full Apexi N1 exhaust on there instead of the Bushur one. Should be easy to figure out by looking at the exhaust to see if it is a bluish purple color. The car also has a fairly new (low mile) ACT 2600. I bought the car from someone a few years ago and all it had done to it at the time was the exhaust, the 2600 and a recently rebuilt tranny. It had a few issues and I have not actually even driven the car. I had most of the aftermarket crap just sitting here and decided to throw it on the car as I already had it. I also pulled the head, put in arps, a new copper sprayed hg and did some other maintenance stuff before trading it away.
He probably could have made more selling the parts off the car instead of selling it to you, but he just wanted to get rid of it.

Yea I did notice that it was an N1 after looking at it closer. He did mention the rebuilt tranny and the 2600 now that I think about it. Im ordering up the brakes today, and will start tearing it down soon. Ill take some pics before I rip it apart, gave it a MUCH needed bath last night just for fun...haha
Oh and I think I remeber putting in a 2g MAS when it was my friends car. You can check by what MAS is on there. I soldered the plug and crap on so you couldn't tell by the wiring.

Yep, has an intake to go along with it..yet another thing to the mod list haha.
Hard to say as most of the stuff was done as my friends car a while ago. I remember soldering the MAS stuff on for him. He was a mechanic and kept it in pretty good shape. His work did the tranny and QPR did the valve seals, EGR blockoff, and intake mani spacer. Reason it didn't have the headliner was because james got one at a junk yard and it was one without the dam sunroof...

Yea I tracked a headliner down, waiting for the guy to get back to me. Need to clean out the drain offs for the moonroof, it was dripping a bit last night.

A little update, sorry I'm being slow on pics, havnt been near my computer in the past couple days. Worked on the car all day yesterday. Swapped oil filter housings, installed the hks 264's, swapped some eibach springs onto some struts, redid the timing, and started her up. Ran good, cams lope nicely, but the leak wasn't from the housing. Gasket where the oil pump is, seems to be bad, so it's leaking a whole lot. Just gonna pull the motor and do all the seals while I'm at it.
