Well its time for DSM Number 3!
1995 Eclipse GSX, Manual Transmission 130,000 miles.
I will be swapping my block, SCM6152e, and all of my mods into this car and will finally get traction. Pictures are below, i know it looks like shit but after i am done with it it will look completly different. I will be repainting the whole car a really dark shade of Gunmetal. and likely be doing a 2gb conversion. (i can pick up 99 front bumpers for 49 bucks in san diego.)
I managed to pick this baby up for $1000.

Here are some pics.

LOL here we go again. At least this car is everything i could want in a dsm. Manual+AWD+2g= what i should have done from the start.

Tomorrow is D-Day, Im picking up the car. Im going to have to change out the radiator at the guys house. But then she will be running mint and tom will have a GSX!!
My plans have sorta changed as far as modding it. I have decided to leave the 6 bolt out for a bit and build the internals in it. But in the meantime, the 7 bolt is going to be maxxed out. SCM6152e, Magnus, FMIC, 950cc injectors, DSMlink, etc, will be going on the 7bolt and when that finally goes ill have a built block waiting for it.

Comes with the board for the rear hatch too... that thing's loaded. Nice deal for a grand.

Im going to swap my lift rods from my GST (that were originally on my GSX LOL )

Can't complain for a grand! Too bad it has the bondo cracking in the rear, but still it's only a grand!!

Yeah i kinda laughed at the bondo. But oh well. Its a project. Im going to redo all of the body work and repaint it a really dark shade of gunmetal. (Like 2 shades up from black) Hopefully it comes out well.

So i picked up the car tonight. Replaced the radiator and oh my god the car runs soooo smooth. I love it. Its quiet because of the stock exhaust but two things:
1) Have you guys ever seen or had a 2g GSX with NO SUNROOF? This one doesnt have a sunroof which kinda pissed me off but at the same time i kinda like it because i have NEVER in the history of my dsms seen a GSX or GST without a sunroof.
and 2) while swapping out the rims to my black painted rims i noticed that all 4 rotors are Slotted, Pretty nice score if i must say so myself.

All in all im really happy.

If I were to ever get another gsx I'd make sure I got one w/e a sunroof and then I'd do a targa top conversion! Do it up man!
