Well, I've finally figured out that as a 16 year old, I can't really have a super fast car. To much money for insurance, repairs, and gas. I drive a lot more than I used to and I'm starting to see it in the gas im using. I'm actually doubling my driving for the week, making it difficult when gas prices go as high as 3.50 for 93 Octane(thank goodness it went back down)
Car: 1993 Eclipse GSX ~The bad~ -Two rust spots (both in the rear fender, one side is worse than the other but they both can be repaired) -Exhaust leaks (super easy fix, but I just don't have the time or resources) -Pwr antenna doesn't work (stuck up) -Weathering strip on door comming off (another easy fix) -ABS disabled. The hydraulic pump went out, and it cost to much to fix -Clutch will need to be replaced if you plan on boosting any higher. I had it set at 15 psi, and I was in 2nd gear around 6000 and it slipped. So it was higher in the gear, but I freaked and set teh boost controller back to stock since it is my DD. -AC doesn't work -102000k miles. ~The Good~ -Boost and A/F gauge in A-pillar -Datalogger on a Palm IIIe (I'd have to find) -Custom O2 Dump (buddy welded it, it sounds nice, no leaks) -2G Ported Exhaust Manifold (not installed) -TurboXS boost controller (set at 10psi (I play it safe)) -Magnaflow 5in muffler(bought when I was in my ricer stage...yes it's just the muffler) -HKS "hiflow" intake. -HKS TT -Just got timing belt/water pump done. The back speakers are blown, but I'll throw in the 6x9's that I have in there now. the only thing is they don't fit exact, so I don't have my side panels on because they won't fit on with the 6x9's installed. Car runs good, never had any problems with it. Newer pads/rotors. I'm kinda just gauging interest. I still want a "semi-fast" vehicle, but I don't need a rocket like I had planned on building this one to be. I was interested in maybe a earlier Civic hatchback with a swap, or even stock with a few mods. I am taking otu the sound system that I have in my car, unless the car your trading has one in it. I have 2 kicker comp subs, (cheap amp), and a pioneer deck. If you have a good reliable car, let me know. I would like it to look pretty decent since I consider my car to be in good shape, besides the little rust spots. More info on her: I am the second owner, purchased her last year from a guy in Bloomington. He worked at Mitsubishi (still does I think) and had her since she had 2 miles on her. She has black leather, like top of the line everything, as in power everything, moon roof, etc. He babied her, and so have I. She was actually sent ot Japan to get the first recalled transfer cases. It was like their guinea pig car. So its got some history behind it. Um, a guy scratched my fron passenger fender over the weekend, but itll buff out (no really it will) its just a little streak of white. Not sure If I missed anything, just ask. |

QUOTE Honestly, not sure. Don't you have like 50 million cars anyway? QUOTE when you figure that out, let me know. MY car lot quanity is of little concern to me. Cars are a lot like women, and women are a lot like cereal  . Now would you want to wake up every morning for the rest of your life and sit down to a big bowl of Corn Flakes? Maybe you like corn flakes a lot, and that’s great. But at some point your going to be walking through the store and see a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch on sale. Hell get crazy and buy yourself one of those Varity packs with so many choices you’ll blow a freaking head gasket trying to decide! 10 boxes of cereal, 10 cars, 10 lonely women in need of a night of companionship. You can never have to many..............Can you? And on that note if you decide to sell the car please PM me and let me know what you want to let it go for. Very interested but I don’t have a trade for you.

Pics? runs great, needs a new trans because it pops out of 2nd, I can provide the new trans installed or unistalled. 2 tires are bald, but I have brand new oem rims and tires in my garage for it. Might need an axle, I can fix that too. Hopefully the tires will fix the alignment issue, if not, that can be handled as well. Motor is a SOHC VTEC 1.6 liter. Overall, the car runs great and is a fantastic DD. Has got me back and forth from work for the last few months without a flaw. Any minor issues could easily be dealt with by me or by the buyer at time of purchase. Overall, I would say it is a fairly solid, quick little Civic (motor swap plus I-H-E makes for better than stock) plus it has a rare leather interior. |

What were your plans with my GSX (just wondering)? What mods does it have? Miles? I'm very interested in this, where are you located? I have NG-drill tomorrow from 8-4ish, but I'll try to catch you on AIM some time. |

I have NG-drill tomorrow from 8-4ish, but I'll try to catch you on AIM some time. to drive it. Not planning on making it into a speed demon, I just hate Handus with a passion. The car is a 1992 Civic CX hatch with about 135k on the odo, 110k on the motor. It has a D16Z6 SOHC VTEC swap, Eibach pro-kit springs, all leather interior, Apexi N1 exhaust, intake, and a header. Other than that its pretty stock. I am located in Bloomington. |
