Silver Member Username: KaerfplSpencerport, NY USA Post Number: 468 Registered: Jun-06 | It was a 1998 Eclipse GS. The engine originally wasn't turbo'd but, the previous owner of the car installed a new turbo, intercooler, air filter, and i dont know if there was anything else because I never got the chanse to look. He also installed a carbon fiber hood which had working air vents and a carbon fiber rear tail lights. It had 81,400 miles when the car went... |
