VR4 little sister

[icepikbiker]

first of all YAY. im the first to post in this catagory. lol

second im sad to say i do not own my 95 3kgt N/A anymore, it was a very sad day.

third i did pick up its little sister tho, i am now a proud owner of a 94 mitsu. eclipse GSX. i dropped two cylinders but picked up a turbo and AWD.

so now i have a new platform to learn about. i have done a couple "mods" in the 3-4 months i have owned my GSX and i have already learned quite a bit about the car.

if anyone has any questions about them ask away and ill either post up what i know or i will find what you need to know.

here she sits when i brought her home for the first time.

after a few weeks of cleaning and finishing the work that was not completed by the guy i got her from.
free intake "hacks"

A little color under the hood, thats when it turned into my IRON MAN project.

the cruise didn't work so i just took it out, weight reduction.

Vacuum reduction "mod". less problem areas.

Clearing out some carbon, seafoam is the best.

Nice! I had a '92 Talon TSi FWD 7-8 years ago. That little thing was a riot -- I ran 13.9 @ 102MPH for less than $50. Hacked aircan, open downpipe, cheapo manual boost controller at 15psi was all it needed.

ballermj23 - i traded my 3kgt for it. my old 3kgt need alot of work to run good. but i was asking 2500 for my car when i was selling it.

HellBringer - i have not taken the GSX to the drags yet but maybe someday. when i got it, it was slugish and didn't spool very well but the guy i got it from said it was a pretty fresh rebuild so maybe the rings were not quite seated in yet but its been running like a camp now with the vacuum reduction and air can mods.

Nice! I don't see many 1G Eclipses around here, it looks like it's in pretty good shape!

The timing belt looks like the oil pan bolts are to long. The 2 bolts in the front of the oil pan should be shorter than the others.

ya thats my project for tomorrow, need to check them cuz thats what everyone has been saying.

i'm debating about going AWD DSM for the winter versus picking up an NA 3K. I just hate driving a 3K in the winter in Grand Rapids, MI. Nothing like attempting to "plow" the roads with your front bumper and fwd.
