BIGGEST FAILURE.....EVER

I haven't posted in ages due to the fact I contracted an eye infection going to the off shore station and I had a few issues with the R32 build.

First off, I'll spoil my surprise here and now, The engine was supposed to be a 2JZGE VVTI out of a SC300 the build was going smoothly until when we got the chassis on a lift ,the lift malfunctioned on us and dropped the car...bending the cockpit upwards so the build was halted and I thought...

Fuck it....

I'll sell what I could get of whats left of it and move on, sadly the R32 was sold to a good friend of mine who has the resources to fix the car and it's going full racecar, for all the parts I sold I amassed this.

Profit

R32 Shell : V$3000
2JZ : V$1550
Suspension : V$900
Miatas SR20 : V$900

Total : V$6350


I got an offer for the Nismos for like V$1500 but I'm not gonna sell them.



As a replacement car and one that is much more common in LA, I've bought is a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT from a used dealer downtown, it's on Connecticut plates so I need to get the car registered here and get an emmissons test, I got it for a steal at V$3000 due to it being being hit in the rear earlier on in its life , the car is in pretty good shape since the previous owner did repairs before hand.





How can I go from a R32 to a Eclipse ?

Well unlike the R32 this has 6 Cylinders because it's the GT model
and I always wanted a Eclipse the 1995 GSR is to expensive for me and those are rare to find and some DSMs aren't that reliable
so I settled on this the only downside is the FWD I may do a AWD conversion soon.

The car itself has no issues really, just some loose bearings and some minor dings in the bodywork other than that the car is perfect.

I'm going a stance route with this build after getting a lot of inspiration from Phantom's RSX.

It's going to be tasteful and not to showy, probably as this goes along those words arent gonna be in my vocabulary.


Don't worry the Miata and Mustang are still getting my love.
