PRICED TO SELL!!!  I am offering up one of my pride and joy's that I literally poured my soul into building. I am selling her because it is time to invest my money into other business ventures. Let me be straight up from the start... the objective of this build was show and go! As you can see from the pictures. I did NOT build her to sit up in my garage or be trailered everywhere like a pretty pretty princess... no... this thing was meant to drive amd that's exactly what I did with it. So, if you're looking for a trailer queen with 100% perfect paint, then look elsewhere for a car. If you are here for a beast that you plan to track, drive and smash folks on the freeway in and not have to worry about a pebble here and there scratching up the paint, then Ernestyn may be the girl for you (name subject to change with ownership of course). 

The wrongs:

1)  Because the doors are motorized controlled, the car does require two batteries that need to stay charged when the vehicle is not being operated, thus, I will include 2 battery tenders (already hooked up to the car) that you will have to plug in to an outlet source.
2)  The mileage reported will be wrong... The car had approx 72k miles on the orig motor before I pulled it. The 4G63 head is the original one that came with the car, however, it has been customized as well, and paired to a 4G64 block (better bottom end power). 
3)  The driver power seat dies on me so eyou may need to get a new one, a new seat motor, or get a regular manual seat (IMO - manual seat is much better than the electric)
4)  As mentioned before, there are wear and tear marks on the rea bumper, hood and driver side skirt (please ask for pix if you're concerned and want to see the damage)
5) Cruise control has been removed to make way for speed/power goodies
6) OEM driver steering wheel has been removed, thus, no driverside airbag (I sold the oem steering wheel, but one can easily replace the MOMO aftermarket one with an OEM one.)
7) The passenger side window goes up about 80%, might need a new window regulator

Other than that, this car is flawless. Built by Road Race Engineering in Santa Fe Springs, CA. They have handled everything mechanical on this car for me, hence, her awesomeness! I will list her spec sheet at the very end of this intro. 

QUICK INFO: She puts out 328awhp on 91 octane and 525awhp on 110. I was going to convert to E85, and RRE quoted me between $1500-$200, and an estimated increase to 650awhp easily. 

PLEASE NOTE: there is a "half and half" Christian theme plastered all over her, this was to signify the One Man (the car) with Two Natures (Spirit Nature and Sin/Flesh Nature), so you may want to sand the black off of the rear light and front driver side marker lamp, change the tint to one color, powder coat the wheels to match and change the headlights to match (I have both complete sets of black headlights and chrome headlights. Only problem with switching the headlights to match is that I installed Acura TSX projectors into the headlights, and that was not fun to do. Also, the hood has a very unique mural on it that I WILL be removing once sold, as that mural is personal and will be put onto my next vehicle. I can have the hood painted silver or black or whatever color you choose, or I can leave it primered, your choice.

NOT BEING SOLD WITH THE VEHICLE: I will be keeping my sub woofer and box, and the amp that powers the sub. Possibly the headrest covers (I have seat covers installed) or all of the seat covers if you don't like my taste, but the headrests have "KOG" stitched into them, it is a car club's insignia that I am part of, thus, I will need to keep those.

ANY QUESTIONS: Please email any questions you have PRIOR to bidding. Car is being sold AS-IS, no warranties. NO returns. SERIOUS INQUIRES ONLY!!! A down payment of $500 will be due within 24 hours of auction end (non-refundable), and the balance will be due 1 week (7 days) from auction end. No exceptions. If any of these deadlines are missed, I will relist the car and give negative feedback... NO EXCEPTIONS!!! Below, I have included Ernestyn's Spec Sheet... for your pleasure! :) Happy Bidding, and believe me, you will enjoy this car as I have!

Refreshed Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross spied, loses Aztek-style rear hatch

Tue, Jan 28 2020

Despite being the brand's freshest model, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is already getting a styling update. The subcompact crossover prototype shown above has a mildly updated nose, and a significantly revised rear hatchback to give it a more conventional look. The rear of the car is the biggest change, so we'll start from there. The current Eclipse Cross has a controversial hatch with slanted main window and a smaller upright window lower down. Detractors liken it to the Pontiac Aztek. This updated model removes it altogether, in favor of one large slanted window. This also helps the back of the Eclipse Cross look a little less tall and blunt. The taillights are redesigned, too, to accommodate the new hatch. They don't span the full width of the hatch, and they might not extend up the rear pillars anymore either.. At the front, changes are more subtle. The headlights that extend off the grille look thinner, and may now simply be running lights, while the larger lights underneath may be the main headlights. The grille also looks more squared off in the lower section, similar to the grilles on the new L200 pickup and Mi-Tech concept. This prototype looks close to production-ready, and since it's just a mid-cycle refresh, we're expecting it to be revealed for the 2021 model year. It will likely continue to come with a turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-4 engine, a CVT and either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Related Video:    

Nissan, Mitsubishi Motors unveil light EVs for Japan

Sat, May 21 2022

KURASHIKI, Japan — Japan's Mitsubishi Motors Corp and Nissan Motor Co unveiled their first jointly developed light electric vehicles (EVs), aiming to draw more Japanese drivers to battery-powered cars by offering low-priced micro models. The two Japanese automakers, part of an alliance with French carmaker Renault SA, were once considered trailblazers in Japan's EV market but have struggled to attract customers and face challenges from fast-growing newcomers such as Tesla. "I'm confident that (the new vehicles) representing the alliance will be a game changer for electric vehicles in Japan," Nissan Chief Executive Officer Makoto Uchida said at an unveiling of the new models in the western Japan city of Kurashiki. The automakers are hoping to leverage their presence in Japan's unique market for micro "kei" cars, which account for nearly 40% of cars on the road in Japan. The three companies' alliance early this year detailed a five-year plan to invest $26 billion on EV development, including kei cars. Nissan, which produces the Leaf and the Ariya electric vehicles, will offer its first light EV, the Sakura, starting at about 1.78 million yen ($13,891) after factoring in a government subsidy, and with a range of 180 km (112 miles). Mitsubishi Motors, maker of i-MiEV electric cars, will release the "eK cross EV" starting from about 1.85 million yen including the subsidy, also with a range of 180 km. Both automakers said they would start selling their new line-up of electric "kei" cars this summer. "People who used to think that EVs are too expensive will become a little more interested in EVs and will be willing to give them a try," said Riho Suzuki, Nissan regional product manager.

Japanese automakers welcome North American trade deal, fear what's next

Tue, Oct 2 2018

TOKYO — Toyota, Nissan and Mazda welcomed on Tuesday the revised North America trade deal that left Japanese automakers unscathed, but they may face a bumpy ride when Washington and Tokyo hold new talks on over $40 billion of annual U.S. auto imports from Japan. The United States and Canada reached an agreement on Sunday to update the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement after Washington had forged a separate trade deal with Mexico in August. The updated deal effectively maintains the auto industry's current footprint in North America, and spares Canada and Mexico from the prospect of U.S. national security tariffs on their vehicles. Mazda, which ships cars to the United States from Mexico and Japan, called the deal a "big step forward". Nissan, which makes the cars it sells in the United States locally as well as in Mexico, Japan and other countries, said it was "encouraged" by the agreement. Toyota, Japan's biggest automaker, said it was "pleased" that a basic deal was reached. Other automakers were not immediately available for comment. While the deal has removed the risk that the disintegration of the pact would have posed to automakers, bigger risks loom large for Japanese firms as a chunk of the roughly 7 million cars they sold in the U.S. last year were shipped from Japan, and a trade deal between Washington and Tokyo has yet to be agreed. The United States and Japan last week agreed to begin fresh trade talks, with U.S. President Donald Trump seeking to address Japan's $69 billion trade surplus, of which nearly two-thirds comes from auto exports. Washington is also investigating the possibility of slapping 25 percent tariffs on auto imports on national security grounds, although it has agreed with Japan to put any new tariffs on hold during the talks. Analysts say the United States may take a tougher stance on auto imports from Japan than from its neighbors. "If Japan requests an exemption from the 25 percent tariffs under consideration, Washington could propose a more strict cap on imports than it agreed to with Mexico and Canada," said Koji Endo, senior analyst at SBI Securities. "That would be a risk." This could be a big blow to Japan, as the United States is a key source of revenue for Japanese automakers including Toyota, Nissan and Honda. The U.S. market accounts for a quarter or more of their annual global vehicle sales, and of their total U.S.
