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

France's Macron says Renault-Nissan partnership is a 'jewel' to be strengthened

Wed, Jun 26 2019

TOKYO — French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday called for further synergies and alliances to strengthen the Renault-Nissan partnership in a global market. "The Renault-Nissan alliance is a jewel in the industry," Macron told French expatriates in Tokyo. "We created a giant which we must not only preserve but develop synergies and alliances to strengthen it in the face of international competition." His comments appeared to leave open the possibility both of a deeper integration of the 20-year-old Renault-Nissan alliance, which has been shaken by the scandal over its former chief Carlos Ghosn, and tie-ups with other manufacturers. Last month, Renault and Italian-American group Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) announced they were in merger talks. But the discussions were called off after FCA grew frustrated with the role the French state was playing, especially its need to secure agreement from Nissan over how to move the merger forward. Since the break-off of the FCA talks, Renault executives have been looking to rebuild ties with Nissan, which is keen to reduce the influence the French state has in the alliance via its 15% stake in Renault. Renault owns 43% of the Japanese automaker, which in turn holds a 15%, non-voting stake in its partner. Nissan on Tuesday threw cold water on hopes for a quick fix to strained relations with France's Renault SA , saying inequality between the partners could unravel their two-decade-old automaking alliance. Macron said on Wednesday France would remain vigilant that Carlos Ghosn's presumption of innocence and the former Renault-Nissan leader's rights to defend himself in a Japanese lawcase are respected. "It's not up to the French president to interfere publicly in a judicial case," Macron said. "Japanese justice is independent." "We will be vigilant, just like with all our citizens across the world who have to answer to the law, through consular activity, so that the defendant's rights and presumption of innocence are respected in that case."

Mitsubishi ending US production

Fri, Jul 24 2015

Mitsubishi is closing the doors on its US production as part of a "strategic move," Japan's Nikkei news service reports. According to Automotive News, the company declined to comment on the factory, and instead said it had "no plans to stop selling" vehicles in the United States. That's not what we asked, folks. According to the Nikkei news, the company is in the process of finding a buyer for is Normal, IL factory, which it opened as part of a joint venture with Chrysler back in 1988. The facility currently employs 918 UAW workers, whose jobs Mitsubishi is attempting to save as part of its negotiations with labor reps. The Normal plant is the only Japanese production facility with UAW representation, Automotive News reports. Normal is responsible for production of the Outlander Sport, building nearly 70,000 examples last year. Production is continuing on, according to the vice president for the local UAW Local, Kyle Young. "We haven't heard anything," Young told AN in a phone interview. "We're supposed to have negotiations coming up" in August. It's not clear how much the Mitsubishi will be selling the Normal plant for, nor is it clear if any parties are interested in picking up the facility, which contributes around $120 million to the local economy each year.
