My first turbo car - eviltoast

1990 eclipse gsx. Had an upgraded TD05(H?)turbo, spiral header (ugh), and upgraded 12v fuel system. Made really decent power even though the power and was meh. Had it about 3 months before I made the executive decision to sell it before I killed myself.

Had a full 3” turbo back from magnaflow that was loud as hell.

Bought it in 2012 for $1200 with 143,xxx miles on it. If I had it today I probably would have kept it. The interior was immaculate except for a couple cracks on the dash.

    It amazes me how Mitsu screwed it up so badly in subsequent generations of the Eclipse.

    How a company that made the Starion, Eclipse, Lancer, 3000GT and a bunch of other performance trims of their other cars dropped the ball so badly .

      They definitely went boring after a while. To be honest I think the other big Japanese manufacturers were able to modernize, but Mitsubishi never could.
