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 the 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 ending)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 fun. 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 a couple months at home now because I left for the military and have not had time till now to post this listing again. 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, in the military, I'm short on time, don't have the time to part it out so, although worth less to sell, I'm selling her as a whole no exceptions.NOTE: ALL PICTURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN AFTER MOTOR DAMAGE, SO YES, IT IS STILL THAT CLEAN AND TAKEN CARE OF. Must sell, please make offers, I can negotiate a bit on price or what goes with it. SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY!!!I am selling this vehicle locally and reserve the right to end this auction early.
