1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T

Well I've decided to sell my long and never ending project. I've owned this car since 98' and have garage kept it pretty much 98% of that time. This car has never been in an accident and has a clean title. I'll even say this is probably one of the nicest DSM's in the nation, definitely one of the cleanest. I've taken time to do exactly what I wanted to the car. That includes powder coating almost every piece under the hood (gloss black) or polishing. Tons of attention to detail was used on this car. It will make a great street/strip car as the only eliminations are A/C and cruise control. Honestly I can't even remember everything that is done but the list below is what I do remember.

1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T Silver Minden Pearl
52,028 miles on chassis
207 miles on motor (true 2.0 4G63T) using only Brad Penn oil

The car made 418.3 WHP and 293.2 tq at 20 psi on a Dyno Dynamics loaded dyno also known as the "heart break" dyno. You can add 20-25% to that number and get what a Dyno Jet would read. There is a lot more in this car, and I was looking making 500+ on that same dyno, but found out the single walbro fuel pump wasn't enough. The car hasn't seen the track since 2001, so this current setup has yet to be abused.

I've been told this car is a bitch in the snow is tht true?

[97GSTAT]

@Ori3ntal3Xpr3ss At the current state of this car I would not drive it in the snow. Mainly because it's my toy now. But I did daily drive it for about 6 years without any real issues. Where I live also doesn't deal with crazy snow amounts, maybe 6-10" every once in awhile. If any thing that would make it a bitch to drive in the snow it would be the ride height. The front bumper sits low even stock.

Im Saving up the money to buy one i just love this car.. Serious Does this car any problems that i should be aware of ? like problems with suspension or something.. Please let me know in the comments and thanks.. and whats the perpuse for selling ??

[97GSTAT]

@jonathan5850 Hi, and thanks for the interest. The car as whole is perfect. The only "issues" it might have is the need of a bigger clutch and a bigger fuel pump to push past 20psi. This setup has yet to be abused to it's full potential. I was planning on running around 28-30psi, but the single 255 walbro wasn't enough to go past 20psi. Still tons of room to grow. I just added my for sale description to this video, and it list everything I could remember over the car.

[fastandunreliable]

damn this thing is a monster... clean as hell. good luck, and hope the new owner takes care of it as much as you did.

[Indianmalujl]

[98eclipsegst1]

[Ty2052]

i got a 92 180sx sr20det if ur down?

[sk8rxpbdude]

i cant imagine this selling for 14500. it is a great looking car and clean as hell. selling a gs-t is hard and to get anything out of them is harder. if it were a gsx with all of these mods i could see maybe 10 at most. i wish you luck.

[TurboTss21]

Crazy how clean it looks. Amazing car.

[97GSTAT]

@sageninja123 I just added the whole story over the car to the description. I'm asking $14,500 obo. This isn't your normal DSM. :)

[sageninja123]

@97GSTAT i just picked up a completely stock 2g gs-t 2 weeks ago, that needs some work. but how much are you selling your car for?

[97GSTAT]

@sageninja123 Thanks! It's for sale. ;)

[sageninja123]
