My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

My brother is moving to Florida. Look what he's leaving behind! I scooped it up for the right price.

It definitely needs some work, but should be fun to have around once I work out some of the kinks ;)

Comp 101200 cams
Big 16G w/ 10* clip
FMIC
2G MAS
660cc injectors
Apexi full exhaust with 5" can on back
S-AFC2
AVC-R boost controller
Gauges up the wazoo
JVC deck w/ 12" sub
17" 2G GSX wheels
came with extra set of rims and snow tires too!

I just can't decide whether or not to hang onto it or sell it. We'll see once I fix it up, but it sure is a looker!

I must say not too bad scheides! Looks like the body is in pretty good condition too besides the drivers side fender. What kind of work needs to be done on it?

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

looks like a nice car man. good find

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

sweet! any more pics?

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

I don't think I've ever seen a 1ga in that color. Nice pick up!

Are those scratches on the front bumper? Anyways, I'd say keep it!

Fix up the body inperfections, maybe paint the top black, then she would be HOT! Put a talon center piece in or just remove the plastic piece and let the radiator breath!

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

Lookin good! Keep it, Get rid of the EVO :)

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

If he got rid of the evo he would be back at square one again with having to deal with all the probems. Problems come with an 18 year old car. Thats why he bought the evo.

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

Nice find. I love 1ga's. What exactly is wrong with it?

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

Nice! Aside from the fender and door, that's a clean car! Wanna trade interiors?

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

Be a man, keep it. Everybody should have a clean 1G.

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

^wise words spoken.

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

Looks great, but the responsible side of me says sell it! It has nothing over the Evo IMO, but plenty of cons. You bought the Evo to avoid the DSM headache.

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

I know that car it was at my place for a while. it needs a little more work on it and it would be a good d.d. for some one

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

Anna or Ali? ;)

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

ali has my old 92 (when I get it put back together)and I know anna will not drive a stick

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

Scheides, you should let Dan borrow it for a week so he too gets the bug!

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

If you sell it let me know scheiderman. I'm sort of in the market for a DD.

BTW good buy son.

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

What is wrong with your EVO for a DD?

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

I want it.

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

it is a great car I just put it back together for chris and ian

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

Ohz noz! I agree with kracka!

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

HAHAHA That's rich man! Evo is here to stay, it is way to practical, and practically way to fun!

Very true but yes, look at it! It's a little rough around the edges but it sure makes me smile every time I look at it! With my brother moving to Florida, it keeps part of him here with me. I'll fix it up, and then in a while probably put it up for sale at a nice price. If someone agrees on that nice price, they can have it. If not, it will stay right where it is!

I don't have any more pics at the moment, the car is filthy from sitting outside for a while. I'll clean it up, probably show boat it around a bit, maybe bring it to the dyno day even :)

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

sell the gsx wheels? haha

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

Looks nice man. I say keep it. It's fun having something on the side that you can tinker with, not worry if it's running because it's not your DD, do experiments with.

But I must ask, what's the "right price"?

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

Evos are the DSMers Retirement home. lol

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

Only the Eclipse came in that color if i remember right. Looks nice, sounds like its got a few go fast mods!

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

Was that an FMIC on it? Or is my monitor that poopy..

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

Yes it has a FMIC, and the color is custom. You really have to see it in person to appreciate how cool the color is!

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

It'd make a good winter bitch.

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

Raises a valid point.

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

It would be a great winter car

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

or race car with a gt47r on there :D

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

lol, yet another valid point

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

gt-k 1000 FTW!

I think thats what its called.

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

No reason a person can't have a clean fast DD and a clean fast weekend car :) I say keep it! ...and trade interiors with me ;)

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

seems like the car to put that big turbo on you keep talking about.

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

yeah come on scheides... you got the dd with the evo... now time to push some serious numbers out of this bad boy... plus its a 1g, which imo is racier than a 2g.... DO IT!!!! it's only peer pressure and that seeems like the cool thing to do these days :D

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

Little bit of progress today! Yanked out the dead slimline fans and managed to squeeze in one of the stock fans (tested to work!) in, figured it'd be better than nothing. Also took the driver's side fender off to see wtf was up with the door. Found a nice big break in between the two bolts of the lower door hinge.

Called TKR and asked him if he could do some quick welding on a sunday. Thankfully, he obliged!

Hughes contemplating the idea of owning a 1G again:

After a little adjustment, door shuts *perfectly* now!!

Bent out the fender and temporarily re-attached it. The car is looking straight again, but the fender still needs a bit of work on the bottom. Another day for that:

We also had hooked up a basic MBC from DB Performance, the car had an Apexi AVC-R which made boost totally irratic, I've been telling my brother to get rid of the thing for years now. Finally the car pulls 18psi from boost onset to redline, no muss, no fuss. If only my evo were this easy!

Got home and the car started overheating, the fan was not coming on for some reason. But it was cool enough out today to cruise around a little!

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

Not a bad 1G at all! When you sell it I think it will make someone very happy :)

Re: My new ride! 1990 Eclipse GSX :)
 

Sell it to me for cheap :)

Looks good, great find!
