HOT's 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX
It's about time I made a thread in regards to my car. I finally decided to get her all cleaned up and take some pictures. I've had my car since November of 2004. This car turned me into a complete DIYer. She has come a long way since I first got a hold of her. I bought her with 70,010 miles out of Connecticut.
Mod list on the car:

Intake:
Exhaust:
Fuel:

Electronics/Monitoring:
The Bad:
I haven't posted many pictures of the car since I installed a lot of my mods. Here are moAr pics!
