That's unusual to find a car sitting for that long that will start. I would still clean out the gas tank. The last car I bought that had bad gas glued the intake valves in place and bent all the pushrods. Looks like a fun project. Do it right and get some autocrossing time in that car!
1g owner here. Mine is in mint condition, only 58.000 miles and almost completely stock. Currently looking to find a few more original parts and then just keep it as clean and as stock as possible.
I just saved a red 91 talon tsi. Been sitting 15-20 years. It was doing the same idle fluctuating as yours when I got it running. Doing all of the maintenance to it now and trying to fix the idle. I can't wait to watch your whole series with this car!
Awesome! I have 2-1g AWD GSX and Plymouth Laser RS. Awesome cars. Bulletproof. Perfect for drag racing. I luv that straight body on that. U guys got lucky. Great job! I wana subscribe now to see u guys build it. Cool..
+awesome 1 It's going to take a little time to get there but we're planning on running it in the Grassroots motorsports 2018 challenge. It's got a long way to go. I already freaking love this car though, I got a great deal
Shooting Cars I used to drag domestics but was easily sold when I saw one launch at a drag strip. These cars are absolutely NO joke. Dsm's were way ahead of ther time..
+Jesus Labrada It is scientifically impossible to hate something with pop up headlights. Know what else has pop up headlights? Old lambos. I'm not saying this is a Lamborghini but also I'm not NOT saying it.
+TunerRepairs Team MadCats I’m 100% sure I will get aggravated at the whole thing and want to shove it in a river eventually but it’s not going anywhere. Projects can be a pain in the ass but eventually it’ll pay off 😅
+DSM Devin well for one this one has been left alone for about a decade and I'm STILL trying to work out what all is wrong with it. Still freaking love the thing though lol
Shooting Cars I love mine too haha I traded my 420a 2g (with a rod knock,the new owner knows) for my 1g dsm haha it needs work cosmetically but I can't wait to see more videos about this car in the future, gonna be tuning in ;) and be doing my own videos eventually
Shooting Cars I completely agree! lol I sure will and mines fixing to undergo some surgery (paint, headlights, and tail lights) it's gonna be a fun daily haha
I'm so jealous of you. 1st gen GSXs are bullets if you can build them! Man, if you ever need a hand working on it, shoot me a msg on FB. I used to own a 2nd gen 😎
Awesome video editing and good footage! Starts up and drives like a true Japanese car. Who can abandon such a cool car like this? I hope you got it for a steal sitting in that condition! If you want, check out mine it basically received the exact opposite treatment of this one. But it's cool because both are stock AWD models.
I had a 94 1st gen when I was in high school I have been looking for one for 10 years now and finally found one trying to get it off the guy it’s been sitting 6 years
+Sons of Abearchy It's more of a running joke. These cars were actually built in Normal, Illinois so they're about as ricer-y as apple pie. I call my truck "Run GMC" so it fits with the 90's hip hop nomenclature 😂
You probably dont even have this car anymore but the guy you bought it from must have felt crappy after it started right up and drove from sitting a decade. Sold a decently running vehicle for $300, damn what a heart sinker..
No offense to fans of old flip up headlights cars, but they're visually just too generic and they all look quite similiar. Now don't get me wrong, one of my favourite cars are from that era, but hey, this is just my opinion.
Eh, to each their own 🤷🏻♂️ I had a 1gb (with fixed headlights) in high school and always wanted one with flip ups (plus mine was a 1.8 so I’ve always lusted after a GSX) when this one popped up (lol) it checked all my boxes which is why I’m getting it back on the road. Also, 10 internet points for not being like “FLIP UPS ARE STUPID” lol
+Neil Bullock i didn't mean i don't like the flip ups, in fact they are awesome. What i was trying to say is that the overall body shape of these cars is very similiar.

Shooting Cars Super. We got yr back!
Shooting Cars I used to drag domestics but was easily sold when I saw one launch at a drag strip. These cars are absolutely NO joke. Dsm's were way ahead of ther time..
Dang nice. That's my dream car. I also noticed that it has a Louisiana inspection sticker. I live in Louisiana
It was mine and lived in Pineville.
subbed! saw this n the follow up video n can not wait to see more.. Amazing that car cranked n drove after 10 years of hybernation!
+265308 Thanks for subscribing! I should have more on the GSX up in a week or so, I'm slowly starting to get parts in
Nice find!. Love the look of the 1g eclipse
+Rabbon-I The Genesis Is that a 1g in your thumbnail??
Yesser! 90 1g
+Rabbon-I The Genesis Awesome! What kind of wing is that?
It's a custom wing. Very close to the supra's but a little different
Nice find/save! Miss my 1g Dsm. Just found your channel. Look forward to this build.
+Rick Evo VIII Thanks! I'll be updating it as soon as I get back from vacation
I was not going to like it but POP UP HEADLIGHTS!!!!!
+Jesus Labrada It is scientifically impossible to hate something with pop up headlights. Know what else has pop up headlights? Old lambos. I'm not saying this is a Lamborghini but also I'm not NOT saying it.
I love these cars! Lucky you
Wow ....what a score
Hope u dont get tired of it and restoring it to its former glory 😁
+TunerRepairs Team MadCats I’m 100% sure I will get aggravated at the whole thing and want to shove it in a river eventually but it’s not going anywhere. Projects can be a pain in the ass but eventually it’ll pay off 😅
Sick man just picked up a 1992 eagle talon awd turbo dude said it was head gasket to but it was the tranny no 2 gear lol
Nice I was able to save one too a long time ago you see how it looks now on my UA-cam
Looking forward to this build. :)
+Alex Moran Me too!
Are those original 1g wheels ?
never seen one like that :)
Ha I just bought a eagle talon project too
Seems to be a very lucky find most of these cars (gst/gsx) goes for thousands(4000+ in decent condition)
+DSM Devin well for one this one has been left alone for about a decade and I'm STILL trying to work out what all is wrong with it. Still freaking love the thing though lol
Shooting Cars I love mine too haha I traded my 420a 2g (with a rod knock,the new owner knows) for my 1g dsm haha it needs work cosmetically but I can't wait to see more videos about this car in the future, gonna be tuning in ;) and be doing my own videos eventually
+DSM Devin I've already got a few uploaded, whenever you do shoot me a link, always good to see these cars being saved!
Shooting Cars I completely agree! lol I sure will and mines fixing to undergo some surgery (paint, headlights, and tail lights) it's gonna be a fun daily haha
I'm so jealous of you. 1st gen GSXs are bullets if you can build them! Man, if you ever need a hand working on it, shoot me a msg on FB. I used to own a 2nd gen 😎
+STInkEYErex Travis?? I definitely will man, maybe it'll be in good enough condition to make it to a show down your way next year
Shooting Cars yessssssss!!! Man I'm excited for you haha, you bought one of the unsung heroes of legendary cars
Awesome video editing and good footage! Starts up and drives like a true Japanese car. Who can abandon such a cool car like this? I hope you got it for a steal sitting in that condition!

like a champ after all tht time dsm life love mine
+AWDDSM 4G63 She's going to need a lot of work but I was shocked it started up that easy!
+1 on that one mine started right up after sitting for almost eight and a half years in the same spot. I got the deal of the century on it as well.
Nice men you are so lucky
What about the mustang
I had a 94 1st gen when I was in high school I have been looking for one for 10 years now and finally found one trying to get it off the guy it’s been sitting 6 years
what a steal
i would of pulled that thing on the trailer and peaced out!
sounds like my 1g talon tsi awd lol
Room for the baby seat?
+aut0sync Actually yes! Boo ya!
I bought my Eclipse 1g ten years ago for 1500 bucks and until now I have spent for adjustments about 14 thousands bucks.😂
Nothing is more expensive than a cheap car right?? Lol
You are right. I did not plan to spend so much, but it just happened😀
What's up with that mustang?
So why was it sitting?
I have the same eclips in europe, and i restoring it right now
What the hell do I want one of those so bad have for a long time
Because they’re awesome lol
God loves you
But not my build 😭
i used to own a 90 gsx in blue, was a huge money pit
+Honda Game But it's a fast money pit 😂
good luck brotha
Rice🤔is that what you think?
+Sons of Abearchy It's more of a running joke. These cars were actually built in Normal, Illinois so they're about as ricer-y as apple pie. I call my truck "Run GMC" so it fits with the 90's hip hop nomenclature 😂
Shooting Cars I get it lolz😂😂
Shooting Cars good luck with your build. I just finished a 92 talon tsi and I love it😍
+Sons of Abearchy Nice! Build it for anything in particular?
Shooting Cars well i built it for an all around car really.
You probably dont even have this car anymore but the guy you bought it from must have felt crappy after it started right up and drove from sitting a decade. Sold a decently running vehicle for $300, damn what a heart sinker..
I have Mitsubishi eclipse 1990 in abu dhabi
To many uhs in your commentary bullock remember speech clas lol
+Ethan Dunn Do as I say, not as I, uh, do. Also class has two S's
