Hey guys I might be getting back into the DSM game soon. The one I'm looking at has a knock. Who do you guys take your DSM to for diagnosis and work done? I'm ok with general maintenance stuff but I am no expert at diagnosis and definitely not comfortable with tearing into the head or block.

How much were you looking to sell it for if you don't mind me asking....?

Shoot I'm looking to getting this one as soon as I look up the worst possible case for this smoke issue....98 Mitsubishi eclipse spiderPretty dam clean $2700 lol now just hoping that infamous smoke isn't a tragedy :hellyeah:

no pics of the car?

1998 Eclipse GST-Low MilesI found this very beautiful DSM just now :thumb:looks like a perfect 10 all around. the ad says it runs perfectly fine, and at that price, you'd expect it as well. BUT what threw a red flag in MY mind was seeing the coolant canister behind the driver seat...

Alright I'll hit you up after I look over a few things and get home.

well besides the bads you have listed up there, is there anything else wrong or things you suspect may go wrong in the near future? trannys arnt as expensive as motor to replace and this car isn't far from complete.I've done up DSM's in worst condition than this, that ended up looking...

wow is that up there what it looks like right now? like complete? or does it look like the bottom pics where its taken apart?

If you don't believe me go to craigslist up and down California, and count how many you can actually find.... on top of that count how many are actually decently priced.ofcourse they're not as rare as the Supra's and RX7's but still.

I just found this GSX.... I know they're rare and all, but isn't the seller asking too much for a car with a bad motor??? :confused:1997 Eclipse GSX

Bump

Before I start and you guys flame me, I realize NOW that what I did was completely my fault for trusting a stranger... :sosad:As a few of you guys know I sold my 95 Black GST(in my avatar) back in January of this year, I let it go for $500.Anyways the deal was $500, as is(cause it needed a...

oooooh Ok I understand what your saying. For example the crank HP estimate of a stock car from a manufacturer will NOT be exceeded, however a slight bit more of that HP will actually make it to the wheels correct?thank you for explaining that :applause:

DD stands for Daily Driver. meanning your everyday car you can drive everywhere with no problems.here's the deal dude... IF your going to keep your GS/RS, either buy a slightly used engine or rebuild yours, you should NOT build it or "hook it up". You sound like you don't even know how to...

just be patient. it will pay off in the end $3,800 is just pretty much "DD & ready to go" kind of money, you know?
