I am the second owner of this eclipse and have had plenty of fun with it.  It is currently sitting around because I am not around to drive it.  When I bought it in 2007, it had a dent in the passenger side fender, door, and hood.  There was a massive amount of rust under the rear deck lid.  Once I had time, I tore the thing apart, and replaced the hood, fender, and hatch.  I took the third brake light out of a gs wing and fabbed it into the gst wing.  Then I gave it a new paint job with white and orange pearl mixed over a bright white base coat.  Once I decided on colors, I had pin stripes painted on as well as the cars name, "evil" painted on the bumper.  At that time, I also replaced the rear hub assemblies and all the brakes.  Now both of the fenders are a bit dinged up, after a few years dealing with city parking, and the windshield has a nice crack.  There is also a bit of rust under the hood and a small spot by the gas refill.  The tranny needs some work, but I have been driving it for almost 4 years with no 4th gear.  It has worked for me and if I were to keep it, it would be my next project. 

I have recently replaced the headlights with aftermarket halo lights.  The turbo was rebuilt in Summer of 2011.  The water pump and timing belt were replaced this past November.  This car also comes with 18" Antera 3 piece rims with summer tires.  2 tires probably only have 1 summer left on them, but the other 2 have some good life left.  The stock rims are currently mounted with winter tires on them.  When I got the car there was already a GReddy blow off valve, Apexi turbo timer, cold air intake, nology plug wires, and a 3" magnaflow exhaust.  The 3 aftermarket guages down the A pilar are the boost guage, air/fuel ratio, and oil pres. guage.  Wires from subs I used to have are still ran to the trunk, they just need to be reconnected.  The head unit installed is Alpine. 

With the new water pump, timing belt, and rebuilt turbo, this car is ready to keep going.  Like any 15 year old car, it takes some attention and fixes every once in a while.  Anyone who has owned one understands.  It's a fun and quick car and it is definitely hard for me to let it go. 

Winning bidder is responsible for pickup or lining up shipping.  Full payment is required at the time of pickup in cash is preferred.  I obtain the right to end this sale at any time I see fit.  Thanks for looking.

I wanted to to post an update with a couple things I have thought of concerning the condition of the car.  The driver side door has some damage(body work) that's not very noticeable and still opens fine.  A clip on the passenger side door handle has broken off, so the handle is loose, but stays on the car and still works.  The hatch "shocks" probably need replaced soon as they don't always hold up the hatch.  The sunroof rattles when it is open and you go over bumps.  All it needs is tightening, but I forgot to do so before I left.  The upholstry for the inside cover for the sunroof is starting to come off.  There are "racing" seatbelts installed, but still have stock belts.  The passenger side racing belts' clip is broken.  The driverside seat has a tear in it.  I'm not sure you can see it in the pics.  A couple of the summer wheels that come with the car have a few spots where they hit a curb, but the chrome rim can be replaced since they are a 3 piece rim.  That is all I can think of.  I want to be as honest as possible, so please, if you have any questions, let me know.  Thanks

PSA shares rise following FCA's breakup with Renault

Thu, Jun 6 2019

Shares in Groupe PSA, parent company of automakers Peugeot, Citroen and the DS brand, rose on Thursday as analysts considered the possibility that Fiat Chrysler could turn back to PSA after withdrawing its $35 billion merger offer for Renault. "Both parties have acknowledged the need for scale or [mergers and acquisitions] and may pursue other opportunities. If Nissan was an obstacle (to an FCA-Renault deal) PSA-FCA discussions could resume," wrote brokerage Jefferies. Back in March at the Geneva Motor Show, rumors started swirling that PSA was interested in a potential merger with FCA. Mike Manley, who took over at the helm of Fiat Chrysler following the death of Sergio Marchionne, had indicated a willingness to look into potential partnership options. Of course, that was all before FCA proposed a merger with Renault — with that deal now off the table, attention naturally turns back to PSA, which is also based in France. "We expect both shares to react negatively but see FCA having wider strategic options and Renault shares more downside risk near-term," said Jefferies. According to Reuters, PSA shares were up 1.5% at the time this was published, making it the top-performing stock on France's benchmark CAC-40 Index. Renault saw its shares slump 7%. Shares for FCA fell 3% in early trading on the Milan Stock Exchange. Considering that FCA said in its statement confirming the withdraw of its merger offer with Renault that "political conditions in France do not currently exist for such a combination to proceed successfully," we have to wonder how keen the company is to begin negotiations with another French automaker like PSA. Those thoughts were similarly voiced by Bernstein Research analyst Max Warburton, who said (via Forbes), "Expect PSA to rise on unrealistic hopes it may be FCA's next date."

2014 Mitsubishi Lancer to shrink

Wed, 24 Oct 2012

The aging, oft-forgotten Mitsubishi Lancer won't get a replacement until sometime in 2014, but a new report states that the next-generation model could be a relatively drastic departure from the car you see here. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation President Osamu Masuko told Australian site The Motor Report that the new Lancer will be smaller than the current car, going in a different direction than the vast majority of other automakers.
"The new Lancer will be a very new car, and will be sized somewhere between the current model and its predecessor," Masuko-san told The Motor Report.
There are both pros and cons to this decision. On the plus side, a smaller car means the Lancer will likely have a weight advantage over other vehicles in its class. That said, Mitsubishi will need to find ways to maximize interior space and create efficient packaging in order to still have its compact sedan remain competitive with strong offerings like the Hyundai Elantra, Chevrolet Cruze, Ford Focus and so on.

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV US launch delayed over battery shortage

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Mitsubishi resumed full-scale battery production in August after a five-month shutdown due to a safety investigation. Supplier Lithium Energy Japan has been delivering 4,000 battery packs each month since September, but that's apparently still not enough to fill the overseas inventory pipeline for the Outlander PHEV and i subcompact EV while launching the Outlander PHEV here in the US. So instead of the previous tentative launch date of Fall 2014, the plug-in hybrid's Stateside on-sale date has been pushed back until 2015.
That's according to Automotive News, which also notes that Mitsubishi has sold 11,300 plug-in Outlanders this year, though that number reflects the production stoppage over the battery issues. As of April, battery supplier LEJ will be able to supply 5,000 packs per month just for the Outlander, but company president Osamu Masuko has gone on record saying that production will have to rise above that in order to make the US launch.
Every Mitsubishi dealer (and hopefully a fair number of consumers) will be looking forward to a crossover that, for the moment, doesn't really have natural rivals. The Outlander PHEV can drive 32 miles on electricity alone, has a top speed of 75 miles per hour in EV mode and offers all-wheel drive with a towing capacity of over 3,000 pounds. The model should get an impressive MPGe rating from the EPA when it finally arrives and it figures to be a bellwether for the plug-in Outlander Sport and Pajero utility vehicles that are expected to arrive after it. Hopefully 2015 will be its year.
