Ok a bit about this car and me. This 1997 eclipse I bought as a project car with a blown motor... So i did a lot of research and found out that this model of a car has problems with the crank (they call it crank walk) which means that the crank throws out the thrust bearing which leads to engine failure... so after countless hours of research I discovered that the first gen (1g 6 bolt) engines have a better block design that prevents crank walk... so after I found the the right block i started to looking to making the perfect engine I knew that I need a 7 bolt crank since I wanted to keep automatic (since auto can hold up to 500hp with right mods). After more research I found that Manley Pistons and Eagle Rods will the Lightest possible combo... Once I got all of the bottom end put together I had to do a lot of custom work to get the to get the engine in... including the custom motor mount and pull system.. then I went for upgrading the turbo system I picked up a 05 Mitsubishi Evolution factory turbo and aftermarket manifold with downpipe... Both were customized to fit. also upgraded the intercooler to 500hp rated one with custom 2 and 1/2 inch piping and aftermarket BOV or blow off valve which is causing the the engine to idle rough.... can be fixed with a tune also needs new speed sensor. also the top was in bad shape and I didn't like the color so I got it replaced with a new black one (looks way better now)... now about the suspension I didn't like the ride height so I decided to lower it and the only company I could trust was Eibach... so I got the Eibach Pro-Kit springs with KYB GR-2 struts all around... then I did a full brake job and changed the wheels and tires... I got the 18 inch Motegi MR7 with Brand New 225/40 Toyo Tires in the front. So that is about the my project car and heres about me. The reason I'm selling my project car is I am getting married and I need money for the expenses and I ran out of money to complete this project.

1g Block with 7 bolt crank
Manley Pistons with Eagle Rods

Marchionne threatens to move Alfa production out of Italy
Fri, 12 Jul 2013Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne was unsurprisingly frank when asked by reporters about potential investments in Italian manufacturing for Alfa Romeo and Maserati, giving the Italian government the ultimatum, "Italy should decide if they want [Alfa Romeo's relaunch] to happen here or not as Fiat and Chrysler have several alternatives." Them's fightin' words.
Fiat's issue with the government stems directly from its courtroom clashes with the Fiom labor union. The two are currently embroiled in proceedings over longer shifts and shorter breaks, as Fiom has so far refused to sign a new contract citing revised labor laws that it says are anti-union.
According to Bloomberg, Fiat will be spending over $2.5 billion on development of eight new Alfas and six new Maseratis, in a bid to wrest some of the luxury pie away from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. But that's only going to happen if the government is willing to play ball and make life easier on Fiat.
Alfa Romeo 8C, Maserati Quattroporte and Granturismo models recalled over rust fears
Mon, 20 May 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced Maserati and Alfa Romeo are recalling certain Quattroporte, Granturismo and 8C models over potentially faulty tie rod ends. According to NHTSA, 2005-2008 Quattroporte, 2008 Granturismo and 2008 8C units may have been assembled with tie rod ends that have insufficient corrosion protection. As such, the components may rust, weaken and potentially fail. If that happens, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.
Maserati and Alfa Romeo will contact owners and replace the tie rod end assemblies once the recall gets underway in June. All told, 7,438 vehicles are impacted by the recall. You can read the full NHTSA notice below for more information.
2014 Maserati Ghibli S Q4 [w/video]
Wed, 12 Mar 2014For one reason or another, this is a car people stare at. They might be drawn to its curvaceous shape riding on immense wheels. They could be intrigued by its gaping, blacked-out grille which houses an equally outsized trident logo, or doing quick calculations about the last time they saw a car wearing the name Maserati. It may be its sports-car-like proportions mixed with achingly long, four-door bodywork that draws their eye.
Or, and I urge you to consider this theory carefully, the people taking notice of this Maserati Ghibli S Q4 might simply be newly alert after hearing the sound of its exhaust ricocheting off any solid thing nearby as I drive past grinning like a certified asshat. Did you hear an Italianate engine song careening through your Ann Arbor, MI neighborhood, in the black of the early morning, just a few weeks previous? Sorry, guy, that was probably me.
I spent a week hammering this all-wheel-drive Ghibli as hard as I dared in the last truly miserable stretch of the God Awful Winter of 2014. I can honestly say that I enjoyed myself, shocked at both the frank way this new challenger luxury car went down the road as well as the attention it garnered in the process.
