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 Ghibli dies by 2024, replaced by smaller Quattroporte EV

Fri, Aug 12 2022

In March, when Maserati divulged some of its electrification plans, the automaker's head of product planning said: "We strongly believe that there is a future for the sedan, but probably not for two sedans. One will be enough to meet demand." The company made it clear which of its two sedans would get the nod by letting the world know that the next-gen Quattroporte sedan and Levante crossover would get electric powertrains only. We have a timeline for the demise of the smaller four-door, Maserati's Australian general manager Grant Barling telling Australian news outlet Drive that "The Ghibli will move into run-out phase into 2024." Assuming international markets are on the same timeline, that gives Ghibli intenders two years to stump up the cash for the mid-size Italian thoroughbred. What's good for the Ghibli, but bad for enthusiasts, is that the BMW 5 Series competitor won't cross the Styx alone — it's taking the Ferrari-sourced F154 twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 with it. In Ghibli Trofeo trim, that engine produces 580 horsepower, 538 pound-feet of torque, and an engine note that will let every creature in the underworld know, "I'm coming."  And yet the Ghibli isn't going away completely. Barling said, "The plan is for the Ghibli and Quattroporte to become one. So the Quattroporte will become a short-wheelbase [model] – Ghibli-sized, but called a Quattroporte." Seems Maserati likes the Ghibli sales volumes but Quattroporte brand recognition. The Ghibli made up 33% of Maserati's global sales last year while the Quattroporte only accounted for 7%. The former nameplate returned in 2013 as a four-door sedan after being a 2+2 grand tourer hardtop and convertible as well as a four-seat coupe, while the Quattroporte has been on sale as a luxury sedan continuously through six generations since 1963.  If there's an ICE engine to keep the Maserati sound alive, it will be the twin-turbo 3.0-liter Nettuno V6 launched with the MC20. The Folgore electric trims will be responsible for the other side of Maserati sound, starting with the GranTurismo Folgore debuting next year with three motors and around 1,200 horespower.   Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Maserati special editions celebrate the end of the V8 at Goodwood

Wed, Jul 12 2023

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is ready to cheer anything with pretensions to velocity, equally respectful to new hooligans trying to seize the day and veterans that have had theirs. Maserati's brought both to the 'sceptered isle, sometimes demonstrated in the same body. The house of the trident will start shutting down V8 production next year, bringing an end to 64 years of eight-cylinder Maseratis going back to the 5000 GT of 1959. The Ghibli 334 Ultima and Levante V8 Ultima special editions commemorate the sunset, both powered by the departing twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 making 572 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque. The sedan gets the "334" designation of its top speed in kilometers per hour, known as 206.3 mph in non-metric lands. That's three miles per hour more than the Ghibli Trofeo's top speed as shown on Maserati's retail U.S. site. Performance and aero updates include a new carbon fiber spoiler, special tires made from a new compound, and 21-inch Orione wheels. The sprint to 62 miles per hour drops from 4.3 seconds to 3.9. The automaker calls this car the "current fastest internal combustion engine sedan in the world," and it's going to climb the Goodwood hill. Each special edition gets 103 examples. Maserati hasn't discussed regional allotments nor how to make a reservation. The rest of the Italian showcase in Lord March's back yard revolves around the new. The GrandTurismo Trofeo with a Nettuno V6 will be there, the 542-hp V6 stepping further out of the shadow of the V8. The battery-electric GranTurismo Folgore takes a bow as well, as does the Grecale Folgore. Artsy types will want a look at the GranTurismo Prisma, a one-off based on the Nettuno-powered GranTurismo Trofeo. Revealed a few months ago, this tips a cap to 75 years of the automaker. Artists hand-painted the body with 14 colors that nod to classic Maserati hues, then hand-painted the names of classic models like the Indy, Mistral, and Amaranto, applying more than 8,500 individual characters. Finally, a GranTurismo Folgore and an MC20 Cielo will join the Ghilbli 334 Ultima making a run up the hill. The MC20 Cielo is returning for a second run after a debut jaunt last year.
