-Front ball joints
-Drilled/slotted rotors

Next two months:
-Turbo back exhaust
-Intake
-BOV
-Coilovers
-Short Throw Shifter
-New Front Bumper

 

Nice daily. Looks to be in good condition.

 

Nice Op, it makes me miss my '97 GS-T spyder. Give Road/Race engineering a call or look on their website for parts. These guys are very knowledgeable and helpful. http://www.roadraceengineering.com/

 

any plans for rims? Dont see them on your list.

 

Fun daily! Congrats.

 

nice! if it was the GSX it would be a great winter beater

 

what i plan on doing is painted them black and getting wheel spacers. i dont wanna go to crazy with the car.

GSX are pretty hard to find. i looked on autotrader and there were about 4-5 GST/GSX within 300 miles from me. plus the GST is better on gas, lighter, and heard GSX have alot of drivetrain problems.

 

113k... i dont trust mitsu's with that many miles. gl man

 

Ive seen people on the dsm forums w/ 200k orginal motor. just gotta take care of it. i plan on doing alot of maintance to it.

 

97-99 gst are very reliable if you don't race it or mod it. trust me. i know

interior looks super clean. just be glad you found a completely stock on. very rare.

 

Nice daily! Congrats.

 

great car! i had 2 gst's.. 95/91.. i'd pick one up if i had the chance.. they are reliable cars.. i had my 95 up to 140k miles before sometime actually messed up. regular maintenance is the key with all cars.

 

i learned how to drive stick in these cars.. my cousin had one back in the day when i was like 13 or so.. it was fun to drive!

 

I used to have 95TSI AWD. Same thing, except I had the awd. Definitely a fun car, and with just a boost controller and turboback exhaust, that thing will be a blast to drive.

 

i plan on ordering a turbo back next week. im also thinking about getting a 16g turbo upgrade good for 350hp. With all the money i put into my Z i could prolly have about 400-500hp in the eclipse.

 

ok, now it won't be so reliable. **Cough...crankwalk..**cough

 

My first car was a 98' GS and I gave that car hell for 20,000+ miles and sold it with 123,000 miles on it. Very good car if you keep it up.

 

yea yea lol. too late i already ordered the exhaust. ill plan on doing some internal engine work before i go with a upgrade turbo setup.
