I agree with the engine mounting. I'm not an eclipse expert but that engine should be going straight. Someone got screwed.

The motor is the way its supposed to be, its not a hard conversion. Its just like the Mazda 323 and 323 GTX, the only difference is ussually the firewall. The main difference in between the FWD platform and the AWD platform is the transmission has a output shaft or gearbox that sends a driveshaft to the back to a differential.

because there never was a GSX Spyder, its a custom set-up.
They did make GSX Spyders. Not saying he didn't just convert his, but they did make them from the factory.

is it me, or is the hood not lined up. spyder's are rare, but I think is still FWD. at least from the way the engine is placed east to west not north to south.
the awd dsm would still have the engine mounted the same dirrection. no eclipse had a north to south positioned engine from the factory.
