Brian's 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX
Here's the story behind my GSX:
After spending 3 years driving a 1996 GS-T with 322whp@20psi, 92oct. And going through 5 tranny's in 6 months. I'd had enough of FWD, It was fun from a roll. But lacked everywhere else.
So a GSX was in order.
The new car had to have/be.
- White
- 5spd
- In Good Shape
- 1995 so that it came with E-Prom ECU since I knew I'd be using DSMLINK Engine Management
I wanted the car to be Identical to my GS-T, that way I could swap as much over to the GSX as possible, and so that no one would know I'd made the switch. However it turned out to be more difficult then I was expecting
So a Few helping hands and Moddifications were needed. Here is how the car ended up.
