Ok a bit about this car and me. This 1997 eclipse I bought as a project car with a blown motor... So i did a lot of research and found out that this model of a car has problems with the crank (they call it crank walk) which means that the crank throws out the thrust bearing which leads to engine failure... so after countless hours of research I discovered that the first gen (1g 6 bolt) engines have a better block design that prevents crank walk... so after I found the the right block i started to looking to making the perfect engine I knew that I need a 7 bolt crank since I wanted to keep automatic (since auto can hold up to 500hp with right mods). After more research I found that Manley Pistons and Eagle Rods will the Lightest possible combo... Once I got all of the bottom end put together I had to do a lot of custom work to get the to get the engine in... including the custom motor mount and pull system.. then I went for upgrading the turbo system I picked up a 05 Mitsubishi Evolution factory turbo and aftermarket manifold with downpipe... Both were customized to fit. also upgraded the intercooler to 500hp rated one with custom 2 and 1/2 inch piping and aftermarket BOV or blow off valve which is causing the the engine to idle rough.... can be fixed with a tune also needs new speed sensor. also the top was in bad shape and I didn't like the color so I got it replaced with a new black one (looks way better now)... now about the suspension I didn't like the ride height so I decided to lower it and the only company I could trust was Eibach... so I got the Eibach Pro-Kit springs with KYB GR-2 struts all around... then I did a full brake job and changed the wheels and tires... I got the 18 inch Motegi MR7 with Brand New 225/40 Toyo Tires in the front. So that is about the my project car and heres about me. The reason I'm selling my project car is I am getting married and I need money for the expenses and I ran out of money to complete this project.

1g Block with 7 bolt crank

Maserati orders explode, 22,500 through September

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

Last year when Maserati revealed a plan to sell 50,000 units globally by 2015, it seemed like a pretty steep goal for an automaker that had sold just 6,300 units for the entire year. It turns out that goal may be a little on the conservative side. Through September, Automotive News Europe says the Italian automaker has already racked up 22,500 orders mainly on the backs of the redesigned Quattroporte and the all-new Ghibli, and there are still more new products in the pipeline.
Back in August, we heard that demand in China was playing a strong role in Maserati's big numbers in 2013, and this doesn't even include the upcoming Levante SUV, which Maserati CEO Harald Wester expects to add as many as 25,000 units to the mix when it goes on sale in 2015. According to the ANE report, the Quattroporte is still the most popular model with almost 10,000 orders so far this year, while the smaller and more affordable Ghibli is performing quite well with almost 8,000 orders; the aging, but soon-to-be-replaced, GranTurismo models have about 5,000 orders.

Vastly Upgraded Italian Speed Sedan Kicks Off Brand Renaissance
The sixth-generation Maserati Quattroporte is big - and not just because it's 6.5 inches longer than before with a wheelbase that stretches 4.3 inches beyond its predecessor. The new Quattroporte is big also because it's a huge deal both for its segment and for Maserati. Just as FoMoCo is finally chucking $1 billion at Lincoln MoCo, so too is Fiat investing 1.2 billion euros ($1.55 billion at the time this writing) in Maser's future hopes of achieving the larger success we all have wished for it. And after a thorough drive over the intensely challenging mountain roads of France's Mediterranean coast, we can't deny that there's finally reason to put some faith in this long overdue investment.
The much-applauded outgoing Quattroporte enjoyed a reputation of being among the very fastest executive sedans of its day, all while delivering the sportiest overall ride and handling, even in base trims. Yet there was constant corporate-level dysfunction that kept all Maseratis from getting important upgrades or receiving much-needed investment support. So, the outgoing Quattroporte has up until now sort of languished nobly, largely resting on the laurels it earned when it launched way back in 2003.

Maserati and Zegna to roll out limited-edition Quattroporte in Frankfurt

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

Back in April, Maserati announced a new partnership with men's clothier Ermenegildo Zegna. We wondered at the time how a Maserati could possibly get any more stereotypically Italian stylish, but now the Modenese automaker is presenting the answer in this fresh take on the new Quattroporte.
When the doors open at the Frankfurt Motor Show next week, Maserati will unveil the Quattroporte Ermenegildo Zegna Limited Edition concept car. That's their name, not ours, and if you're wondering how a production vehicle could be turned at once into both a concept and a limited edition, well... we don't know, either. Maserati says that it previews a production version to follow next year.
So, confusing nomenclature aside, what are we looking at here? For starters, there's a special platinum-color paint finish with tiny aluminum flecks and a gloss-black primer to give it that extra-deep luster. And the interior has been upholstered in "moka" and "greige," with leather seats, door panels and headliner and other surfaces finished in Zegna's own textiles.
