To start with a little back ground, I've had this vehicle for around two years now. The vehicle is beautiful inside and out and low miles for the year. There is no rips or tears in the leather and all the paint matches on the outside and still holds a wax very well for a 15 year old car. bottom of front bumper has pant scuffs and digs, I never repainted that when I got her because when lowered it scuffs anything and everything anyways so there was no point to repaint bottom. Although she looked beautiful there was a number of mechanical issues like a bad fan, rubber hoses on oil returns and oil leaks of the worst kind (the ones you could never easily find and seemed never ended)
I replaced the hoses, as well as the oil leaks all of them. Then the MAP Sensor went witch screwed everything up. The MAP sensor was replaced and the car wouldn't retune and wouldn't start. So it ended up sitting at the garage for about 8 months wile I just got frustrated with it and didn't touch it but to clean it every now and again. Finally we figured out that the computer might be bad. We sent it out along with the chip and a new computer to find out the chip was bad not the computer. However, I had the new ECM Link/Tuning Chip Installed in the new computer. She ran but I didn't trust Her, and I didn't want to do the tuning myself, so I towed her 2.5 hours away to PSI PROFORMANCE. They put a new fan in, new wiring, and another new MAP Sensor that they would be able to tune.
Then It was Time for the DYNO. Wile there, I had PSI PROFORMANCE Tune and Dyno the car. As in the pictures below, at the time of this first tune She was running 253 ft-lbs of Torque and 275 HP. About 100 over stock on just those few motor upgrades.
I ended up bringing it back a few days later, the day I left it started idling funny and it sounded like there was an exhaust leak. By the time I got back there the exhaust leak was horrible. It also sounded like there was a boost leak, witch was thought to be there the first time but wasn't found. The exhaust leak from turbo to manifold, basically the worst spot ever for power. And the boost leak was found from turbo to intercooler, THE absolute worst spot for boost and power. After their tuner/dyno guy had those fixed he re-tuned it, he didn't do the dyno again (for that's $500 for tune and dyno there) but he estimated the car was now pushing about 300HP and 260 ft-lbs of torque. He had me take it for a ride before I left again and literally with those two things fixed, it sounded like a whole new and stronger car compared to what it did just two weeks prior, amazing how much little air not circulating correctly can hold something back.
After this tune the car ran great for about 3 weeks I did not drive it daily for during the summer my Mustang is my daily car and the Eclipse was just for show and fun in the sun. And the compliments were always appreciated, got them every time I drove it. After about 3 weeks the motor finally blew, To Much Power For its Own Good. The vehicle does not Have upgraded cams, (witch he said I needed to push more horsepower because without the hp hits a brick wall at 300) no upgraded intake manifold or headers also for more hp but this is because I wanted to upgrade the bottom end first. However I didn't get there in time and the rods blew rate through the bottom of the motor (shown in last picture)
I cleaned up all the oil from under the car, cleaned the motor and checked the parts and everything seems to be ok. Turbo, Intercooler, etc. (the expensive important stuff) Its been sitting for 2 or 3 weeks now because I've been procrastinating on selling her and reluctant to do so. However I leave for the military in a month and she has to go. It is worth more if I parted it out I know that, anyone who knows cars knows that, and I've had many offers on the turbo, intercooler, rims, exhaust, etc. However, as I just mentioned I'm leaving soon and don't have the time to part it out so, although worth less to sell, I'm selling her as a whole no exceptions.
I am selling this vehicle locally and reserve the right to end this auction early. Shipping is responsible by buyer.
Thanks For Looking.

Maserati Levante shows Kubang inspiration in leaked images
Fri, Feb 19 2016One of the most anticipated debuts at next month's Geneva Motor Show comes from Maserati, which is set to show its first crossover. A major part of the brand's revival, the new Levante will be challenged to strike the right chord in an increasingly competitive segment. That's not the new Levante at the top of the page. It's the Kubang Concept on which it's based. The leaked shots come from the Dutch Auto Week – like our Autoweek, but taller – and include six shots that we're betting were in a tin labeled "Do not open until March 1." They provide a great look at the new crossover from a range of angles, and include a shot of a very, very red cabin. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. We see a great deal of Kubang concept around the headlights, although it's clear Maser's designers evolved the Levante's grille to better match the Ghibli sedan. It's more chiseled and strong, part of which can be blamed on the chrome slats – the Kubang's grille slats were just black. The rear fender and shoulder lines look like they've almost been lifted straight from the Ghibli, while the roofline and rear window give the impression that Maserati is favoring sporty looks over any real utility. We're unable to post the leaked Levante images here, but we'd strongly suggest you give them a look over at Auto Week. And stay tuned for the official info on the Levante, when it gets its grand debut early next month. Related Video:
Maserati will field a Formula E team in 2023
Sat, Jan 15 2022Some Italian flair is coming to the Formula E grid. Maserati plans to field a team in the electric motor racing series in 2023, becoming the first brand from the country to do so. The automaker is returning to single-seater competition for the first time in more than six decades. Maserati ran a successful Formula 1 team in the 1950s and its two-seater MC12 took 14 titles in the FIA GT sports car series between 2004 and 2010. Maserati plans to take what it learns on Formula E tracks and feed that back into its Folgore EV lineup. “Beyond this piece of history, Maserati Formula E will be our technological laboratory to accelerate the development of high-efficiency electrified powertrains and intelligent software for our road sports cars," Stellantis Motorsport senior VP Jean-Marc Finot said. The automaker will enter Formula E as the series shifts to the Gen3 car, its lightest and fastest vehicle to date. Formula E and the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) said the Gen3 will be the planet's most efficient race car. They claim the EV will produce at least 40 percent of energy used in a race via regenerative braking. Â
Maserati dedicates MC20 prototype to Stirling Moss
Wed, May 13 2020Maserati is paying tribute to Stirling Moss, the British race car driver who died on April 12, by wrapping one of its MC20 test mules in commemorative camouflage. The mid-engined sports car is due out in September 2020. It's a fitting homage, because Moss logged thousands of miles behind the wheel of Maserati race cars like the 250F (which he called one of his favorites), the 300S, and the famous Tipo 61 Birdcage. It's difficult to add retro-inspired styling cues to the camouflage applied to a prototype, but Maserati pulled it off well. It added simple, eye-catching red graphics of the racer's name to the MC20's rear end and over its wheel arches. The rest of the car is plastered in a Maserati-branded black and white wrap, though there's a red trident emblem on the roof. On a secondary and more lasting level, the images published by Maserati give us a better look at the MC20 — a name that likely won't be retained for production — than previous spy shots. The four round taillights fitted to earlier prototypes have been replaced by a pair of seemingly production-bound horizontal units. We can see the outline of its rear window, and the vents that let hot air escape the engine compartment. The rear panel is held down by four pins. Its front end remains relatively well hidden, though we spot a grille that's low and wide. "Sir Stirling Moss would certainly have liked the new MC20," Maserati summed up. It also reaffirmed its commitment to returning to "a leading role" on the racing circuits, meaning we'll likely see the MC20 driving flat-out on some of the world's greatest tracks shortly after it makes its debut. It was scheduled to break cover in May, but its unveiling was pushed back until September due to the coronavirus lockdown measures. When it arrives, the MC20 will inaugurate a twin-turbocharged V6 engine developed in-house and allegedly tuned to deliver over 600 horsepower. Unverified rumors indicate a hybrid model will join the lineup a little later in the production run with at least 700 horsepower on tap. It will be the first in a long line of new Maserati models, including the next-generation GranTurismo (which will again spawn a convertible) that will be available with an electric powertrain. The coupe will arrive in 2021, while the roadster should appear by the end of 2022. Related Video:   Featured Gallery Maserati MC20 Stirling Moss Spy Photos Maserati Luxury Performance stirling moss
