VX partner car -- How many own an Eclipse???

Looks like opportunity to me!! They are devastating sleepers!!!

DSMs stopped being sleepers in the mid 90's . That is when people realizes what they are capable of.

I literally have seen 40+ mitsu heads with bent valves, but this one takes the prize! Usually you can just swap the head and call it the day. What were you doing when the belt went? Did you try starting it? Ever figured out what caused it (often, it is caused by siezes balance shafts).

The engine was rebuilt by a reputable shop that specializes in DSM's here in Vegas several years ago, we had the Buschur Racing Balance Shaft Eliminator Kit installed and a few other small mods. It actually happened while my dad was driving it to drop my Niece off at school, it snapped from a stop sign, from normal driving. We, as in my brother, dad, and myself use the car as a backup, so we have been babying it... Just sucks its down when I need to use it! just a few weeks before that happened, I installed a new radiator too. But at this moment, it still looks cheaper to fix than the VX...
