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 :)
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"?

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 :)
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! |

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