Well as some of you know I sold the Talon a few weeks ago because I needed a DD. I was looking to get out of the DSM game, so I went after a friends srt4 well that didn't workout out. So I got a hold of Andy about my old 90 gst, well he needed the money to fix the GSX so he said he would take $950 and I was like hell yeah I want to get it this weekend well I couldn't because I had to go to a cookout so I told him it will have to wait... So I was riding with Justin the night before the cookout and he told me about this 2g gst he was looking at but I didn't think much about it... Well the next day we were talking about a friends Talon and he said he wanted that so I asked about the GST and he said I could get it if I want. So I was like hell yeah and had him drive me by there but I couldn't get a good look so I went back later that day with David. I walked about 100-150 yards to get a look at her but still didn't get a good look because she was behind a fence... Well me and Justin went back a few days later... And I talked to the guy about it and he said he wanted $800 for it... Well we went back to look at it and she wasn't that bad but I asked if I could get her for $500 and he said yeah... So I am going back Friday or Saturday to pick her up!
It's a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST........Auto...  But hey $500!! She runs but the seals on the turbo are bad... So she will need a new t25...(Just so I can get her on the road)All stock with a fart can... There is only rust on one strut tower... Her she is... Some asshole tried stealing the side skirts but they just clip right back on so no big deal...   She needs one TLC but like I said $500!!  But she has an ugly blue interior w/ blue leather seats... Witch is going to be pulled! -------------------- Dakota D.|1995 Mitsu Eclipse GST

Instead of buying a new turbo, I would try rebuilding it. Rebuild kit are under $100 and it's a pretty easy job.

Well I picked up the GST Saturday :dancenana:
Here are some pics... On the way home... Thanks for the help David...  At home and really dirty!   How the **** can you let a car get this dirty!?!?     All of those pics are from Saturday and Sunday... I do not have any pics of my progress because my cam is broke... But I have replaced the turbo pulled all of the interior and painted the dash black. Cleaned the engine bay and buffed the car... I am getting ready to change the oil and take her around the block... I have a triple pod on the way w/ boost/oil press/trans timp. I already have a MBC... -------------------- Dakota D.|1995 Mitsu Eclipse GST

very nice find! A good project, but also a lot of work. Remember that most 95s have an eprom ECU. As soon as you can, pop that thing open to make sure the caps are good.

went over today and helped him finish gettin it runnin. Pretty nice car and definetly a good buy for $500. After a jump, the car started right up and ran fine. needs a few vacuum leaks fixed but other then that it sounded like it could be a strong running little car.
Nice find. p.s. I still want that valve cover!!!!!!!! -------------------- "One of the most Crazy and Undecisive Members in central Illinois"

Well here is what has been done so far...
Replaced most of the vac and emissions lines, Oil change, new plugs, put my valve cover on, pulled all of the int out and re-did it, buffed the car., put two decals on her (shocker, got boost?) tomorrow I am going to replace the rest of the lines and maybe take her for a quick spin around the block... -------------------- Dakota D.|1995 Mitsu Eclipse GST

That car cleaned up really nice! I'm sure it was some work but for that price, I'd say you got a steal.

$500? Man, you really did get a deal. Assuming you have a '95 Eprom in there, the ECU alone is worth $150!
