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

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution's curtain call will come with more power
Thu, 28 Aug 2014We love the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, but by this point, we've accepted the fact that the its days are numbered, despite the noticeable back and forth that accompanied rumors of the vehicle's future for so many months and years. And while the Evo's coming death in 2015 is pretty sad, a report from Automotive News claims that the road-going rally machine will at least be leaving with a fairly substantial bang.
According to AN, Mitsubishi will send off the Evo with a Special Action Model. Limited to between 2,000 to 2,500 units and destined exclusively for the United States, the Evo X SAM should boast, most notably, a bump in power for its 291-pony, 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder. There should be a few other performance tweaks to accompany the increased output, although it's unclear what those might be. AN claims the limited-edition model will drop during the last six months of Evo production, some time next year.
AN's report was confirmed to us by Mitsubishi spokesman Alex Fedorak, who said that, yes, there will be "a US special edition in 2015." We've asked for additional information, but all we've heard back, so far, is that mum's the word. Here's hoping we won't be waiting too long to get official details.
Mitsubishi NA gets new president and CEO
Thu, 06 Feb 2014Last week, we told you that Mitsubishi will be getting a new global president, with Osamu Masuko stepping aside in favor of Tesuro Aikawa. The executive changes at the Japanese automaker are hitting closer to home, now, with official word that Mitsubishi Motors North America is getting a new president and CEO, as well. Effective March 1, Ryujiro Kobashi will take over for Yoichi Yokozawa, 49, who has been in charge since April of 2011. Yokozawa is headed back to Japan, where he will assume a spot in the company's corporate planning offices.
Kobashi, 53, has been with Mitsubishi since 1983 when he was fresh out of college. Previous to taking the top job in North America, he was installed as corporate general manager of the NA office at Mitsubishi's headquarters in Japan, where he coordinated regional operations for the US, Canada and Mexico. Before that, he held posts in planning, marketing, advertising and public relations for the company.
Kobashi takes over the company's North American operations at a pivotal time, when the region is finally showing signs of life after a prolonged period of stagnation. As Automotive News notes, Mitsubishi only sold 62,227 vehicles in the US in 2013, but that figure still represents an eight-percent increase. Its crossovers, the new-for-2014 Outlander and the two-year-old Outlander Sport have been selling relatively well, and the affordable Mirage subcompact is a new arrival at dealers.
1,400 Mitsubishi vehicles lost in shipping tragedy
Thu, 06 Dec 2012A cargo ship carrying 1,400 Mitsubishi vehicles from Japan and Thailand collided with another vessel off the coast of Belgium and the Netherlands yesterday. The 485-foot Baltic Ace was carrying cars from Zeebrugge, Belgium to Kotka, Finland when it collided with the 439-foot Corvus J. While the Corvus J sustained damage during the incident, it is not in danger of sinking, and its 12-man crew is currently still on board.
The Baltic Ace, meanwhile, went under. Three ships from the Royal Dutch Sea Rescue Organization, two navy vessels, four helicopters and one coastguard aircraft spent the evening searching for survivors, but rough seas and high winds hampered the effort. Eighteen of the Baltic Ace's crew, including the captain, were rescued after being found in life rafts, but six remain missing. The search for survivors has officially been called off.
The collision occurred in one of the busiest shipping lanes in the North Sea, and the managers behind the Baltic Ace said they believed human error was to blame for the incident. Dutch police are currently looking into whether or not they can investigate the sinking despite the fact that the collision took place outside of the country's territorial waters.
