    Default 1995 Eclipse RS-Turbo Built: Cams, turbo, bottom end, and cylinder head

    Posting this for an old friend in Augusta. This car has high dollar parts and is a steal for anyone who buys it. Andy is just getting out of the game and no longer has the time or will to tinker on it anymore.

    Vin: 4A3AK34Y1SE2326421
    162k on Body - 4k on motor

    1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS-Turbo

    Here is the story guys and gals: I purchased this vehicle in 2001 and made slight modifications to it over the years. After a few years, my modifications were not enough, so I purchased Hahn’s turbo system for it. I had some fun with it and then decided to go to the next level. This is when it started to become more of a frustration than actual enjoyment. I rebuilt the motor and changed the turbo setup. I have put a lot of money into the car itself, but the motor as well. I am tired of trying to put more money into it. I am getting out of the car scene as it is too much money, work and time. I am selling the car as is.

    The car currently is not running. I noticed the head gasket was leaking coolant and decided to change it. I had the head checked and everything checked out fine. I assume that it was just issues with the actual head gasket used. I changed the head gasket on it and evidentially it did not seat well. I drove it down the road and had to have it towed home. I know this car has a lot of potential and most of it being untapped. I have built the motor to handle a great deal of horsepower as you will see from the list of modifications. I did not really cut corners putting this thing together. The chassis has 162K miles and the motor has about 4K. Manual Transmission.
