Mitsubishi Eclipse - Everything You Need To Know | Up to Speed

- ECLIPSE. The most underrated tuner car of all time. Responsible for setting off the US tuner scene and immortalized by The Fast and The Furious franchise, the Eclipse has seen it all. See how it all began with James Pumphrey; as he explains the origins behind the DSM name, the partnership with Chrysler that gave rise to the Eclipse, and it’s influence on car culture as a whole.
“I see a cold air intake, it’s got a NOS fogger system, the T4 turbo Dominic, I see an AIC controller, it has direct port nitrous injection…” “Yeah and a stand alone fuel management system...not a bad way to spend ten thousand dollars”

Im a grown ass man, and when I saw the Eclipse Crossover SUV; I cried like a child. True story, not proud of it.
Lol that’s how Mitsubishi is nowadays
We've all been there, bro. It's not your fault
Same bro
Crying over witnessing that abomination is a proud masculine moment, my friends!
If that made you cry imagine when they debut the Mitsubishi E-Evolution ? That’s a concept car but I heard they’re putting it into production however nothing is official yet
It’s a dark world full of Electric crossovers my man
We're kinda lucky that its underated asf cause if it got more popularity it would be hard to find and the prices would go up
Found one for 2k wow.... I might have to act up
@@enriqueshawty5595 probably has the 420a. Nobody wants those. A clean one with the 4g63 isn’t gonna be cheap if you can even find one
@@TD04_Trav update it was the 3g and I got it now yay
I found one for $800 😮💨 60k miles
@@abdielz6 sweet find dude 🎖
The “they took her to the drag strip” and then the spoiler falling off at launch was hilarious 😂
That part sums up 2G ownership.
🤣 this dude makes me want to buy every car he reviews 🤣🤣 ✊🏽😤 keep up the good work
lol
lortega081989 I couldn’t agree more. Gosh!!! James is incredible. I hope both of you are safe and sound. Take care bros.

That's so true😂
True 🤣
James we've never met, but I know you better than your dad does.
thats not something that james has ever heard

7:47 the way he quietly and calmly said “a crossover SUV” had me lmao from the way he was screaming about it seconds ago 😂
I spent years dreaming of owning a 2g eclipse (still love that look to this day), but settled for 1g panda talon which I’ve had countless hours of fun building, racing, and building again... still have the car after 13 years and don’t think I’ll ever let it go.
Wanted a gen 2 eclipse when I was 16. Im 36 now and I still want one.
Martin Metz good luck finding a decent one for sale. Theres less and less now. Most end up in the junkyard and they get more and more expensive everyday now
Yup. I used to watch a black gsx pass every morning while I waited for the bus. I wanted and still want that car. At one point did pick up a silver 02 manual eclipse way long ago, but it just wasn’t the same.
I’m 36 also, and just bought my first one 😂
Find a tow truck, sit in the passenger seat for half an hour. The next day, do the same thing. Do it every day for a week. You'll understand what it's like to own an eclipse.
Here in ph. They sell it around 9,900 USD
Mitsubishi: “we’ve made some of the most iconic cars of all time”
Me: “awesome can where can I get one of those?”
Mitsubishi: “what part of ‘made’ did you misunderstand?”
did you not understand would been better
Right my first car was an 05 gts that was 5 years ago I can't find any for the price k got her for
The 1990's
The 4G63 evlipse cost 22-23 k in 94 you could buy a v6 gm lumina for 19 k ...so. not cheap then
I got one of you got cash!
Cries in carguy
Do you guys remember when fast and furious movies were about a cars? Yeah. Me neither
😔
i recently saw the new trailer and they're going into space now lmao
@@uchihabean9689 Saw Fast9. It wasn’t that great.
I’m from normal Illinois. And the amounting Mitsubishi’s we have is insane
That 95-98 Eclipse is one of the nicest looking cars I've ever seen. They were a blast to drive to. Even the base non turbo one.
yea they were pretty sick. now they're just sick as in i need a barf bag when i see one
My first car was the first gen later I bought a 98, the ladies loved them to if you know what I mean
Brtt Abt lol you sound gay as hell
Had a 95 awd turbo talon and yeah one of the best looking cars ever made
@@brttabt5671 I used to have a 97 eclipse GST, two different chicks came up to me and asked me if I want to sell my car, they liked the body style and performance. They also knew they didnt make them like that anymore.
Ive got a 1991 Mitsubishi eclipse, its been an amazing little car. Ive owned it for about 9 going on 10 years now. It was my first car when I turned 16. I received the Eclipse from my uncle who was just wanting to get rid of it due to the timing being off and was just tired to dealing with it sooo.. i got it.. lol Thing was sitting under a tree covered in bird crap and was just a sad little car.. LOL I knew nothing about DSMs at the time. Long story short. He helped me get her running once i got the brand new timing parts and the rest is history. Grandfather (R.I.P) who was on his death bed gave me his remaining money to help me buy the new parts.. So you can imagine the attachment to this car. Restored the whole car from top to bottom with custom paint and body work. Looked like it came right off the show room floor. Sadly how ever.. i wrecked it back in October of 2016 due to a truck not having tail lights... Sad day.. but all was not lost! Got a new core support and put her back together once again and is now on the roads once more. Just gotta save up the money to get her painted again. Awesome vid. Made me even more proud of my DSM!
MITSI1991 A1 wow, you're story is beautiful man. Purely beautiful
Thanks for sharing your amazing story. Can't believe it's still running even after that wreck...
Got a 1990 GSX and 1998 GSX, not letting go of them
oh ya for sure! i wasnt gonna give up on it.... ive got photos of the wreck.. its not pretty but thankfully it was mostly cosmetic! the Motor was spared.
Beautiful story, a true car guy.
When he showed the opening to NFS Underground, I literally burst into tears. Underground 1 and 2 where the very first racing games I ever played and I had them both on GameCube. I spent days on end playing them, and I have NFS Underground for the OG Xbox now. But I long to go back to those times, simpler times. ( Strict parents and all ).
Fucking same bro, UG2 on the GameCube was a masterpiece and now I’m tempted to buy ug2 for my ps2. I’ve been wanting a nice tuner car game and this was a nice game
@@ZKrow382 Its kinda overrated imo
I love how before i ever had a car, i watched all these videos just to learn the story behind all the relevant cars in the car scene and now i have a built car of my own and still rewatch these videos for funsies
10 seconds in; “SHOUTING, LIGHTNING, CARS AND SHIT!”
Gonna be a good un.
Toby Wood the 420 engine and he didn’t do the 420 maaan
Toby Wood you’re profile pic makes this comment so much funnier😂
Up To Speed: Jessica
This needs to happen!
Who
Yes
I daily a 06 3.8 6 speed and I gotta say I love this car. Have no intentions of making it into anything more then a cruise car. Coilovers, true cold air intake flowmaster and Ebay headlights and the thing turns heads lol. Gotta love heated seats too XD
I owned three eclipses...95 gsx, 98 gsx, and 08 gt. The 98 was my favorite for sure.
Wat happened to em? (I stg if u say u sold them..)
Still have???
I had a 95GSX and a 97GSX. Still got the 97.
I have an 03 but the engine harness was melted after an incident with battery terminals touching the hood rip. Might do a engine swap idk
*WTF HAPPENED TO MITSUBISHI???*
Random Guy Channel died
They made a ton of bad car loans in the early 2ks and never really recovered. They're still around but only sell small fuel economy cars.
Mitsubishi turned to shit when they left the WRC
They make more money making family cars instead of sports cars
Stop with the negative comments.
*HEY*
who ever thought and edited the "pheno-me-non-manamana" sequence, give him/her a raise
Where is that from
In my mid 50s now but am the original owner of a ‘98 Eclipse GST. Built engine, Quaife lsd in transmission, 5 speed. Forged internals, 1350cc injectors, E-85, 26lbs boost Evo intake, ECMLINK. Dynod at 429 hp and 350 ft lbs torque.
Nfs underground was where I found the eclipse and subie. Fell in love with both and have yet to own an eclipse gsx
Its overrated imo
Thank you James, Thanks For Representing the DSM community. 17 years for me working on and driving the balls off these cars, 4G63 is a old technology engine but the best low budget 4 cylinder ever made. Stock long blocks capable of 500hp on 30-45psi of boost, if that not impressive i'dk what is. As of right now I have 2 DSMs and 1 hatchback Mirage GT with a 4g63 swap, I love these cars and will never trade them for nothing. I'll be 70s years old with my Eagle Talon blowing the doors off whatever comes my path. Thanks again for the video, I enjoyed it and you made my day. TurboTom.
TurboTom Performance can u start making vid? I'm an evo and rotory fan and would love to see ur cars
I have a 420A Avenger and it only needs 8psi to make 300hp. Hahn Racecraft makes 450 without any changes but pistons and rods (for durability)
@@bly4233 lol noo. 420a's have been known to struggle to make 250 on stock internals. There's a reason they aren't the engine to get. You don't have to touch the bottom end on the 4g to make 400whp......
the real thing to do is to take a 4g64 and throw a 4g63 head on it, making a decompressed stroker and it can handle everything you throw at it.
Proud owner of an Eclipse!
i buy the car with that problem for cheap but i just swap a 6 bolt block on my 2g eclipse gsx 0 problem 400awhp.
Nice me too 99 GST I'm building. What chu got?
Looking at an 07 gtp spyder in 2 days
140HP slow as fuck diamond? :)
Same bro!
I will be a dsm'er at heart for life. I had two talons and now I'm on my second evo. Love em
Eclipse was my favorite car..This car was a piece of Art; and still to date, Amazing looking. Thanks for making this video.
Man... NFS Underground WAS my Childhood. What a fucking classic.
to the window, to the walllllllll
Man the EVO, the Eclipse and the 3000GT...
THE PERFECT TRIANGLE!
@bruceownsu not really, if mitsubishi only wanted to build an updated version of their iconic sports cars nissan and toyota for sure will get their asses handed over to them =).
I recently came into possession of a 1997 Eclipse GS-T 2D and I've gotta say I appreciate this video giving me some insight into the history of this thing.
My first car was a 95 eagle talon, j absolutely loved that car, it was a legitimate beast. I've now got a 3g eclipse, while I love the car, it's just lacking something that I loved about the talon and 2g eclipse. But because of their age, it's next to impossible to find one in my area. I'd trade right there on the spot.
Mitsubishi: what is going to sell and bring us back out of the red?
The people: bring back the evo, eclipse, and 3000 gt.
Mitsubishi: we hear you ... here is an eclipse ...crossover. we know how much you love SUVs
The people: 😭 why are you the way that you are
It's gender fluid, that's all.
I hope they don’t sell it at all, just so they know how much they fucked up.
And more prius but less Supras
Because your average car buyer doesn't watch Donut, they don't care about horsepower and torque, they don't give a rat's ass about handling, and they're functionally retarded when it comes to their vehicle. They want one vehicle that can do it all and don't care if it drives like crap.... hence the return of the station wagon with a new name and a slight lift to kinda hint at enhanced capabilities and automakers falling all over themselves to besmirch classic nameplates like Eclipse, Mustang, and Blazer to make little shitboxes that suck all the soul and fun from driving only to replace it with Bluetooth connectivity and smartphone integration. The popularity of Crossovers is mainly due to the fact that automakers know they can still cash in on crappy designs because everyone still thinks they'll have to haul some mythical and mysterious STUFF in the back of their vehicle so they want more cargo room, folks believe that someday they'll hit the Appalachian trail or they'll just have to go somewhere in the snow so they want All Wheel Drive, and you better believe you just have to have world beating efficiency for that cross country trip you'll never take cause gas stations is scarce in death valley, but wait there's more Dude you gotta have your Apple Auto and Android Car play compatibility to get your crappy trap beat mumble rap tunes everywhere you go so we added Bluetooth, usb, and aux to your car.
Apparently they're making new EVOs, I'm not holding my breath though. If only nissan and Mitsubishi would act more like subaru.
R.I.P. Eclipse 😢😭😭😭😭
When I was a child my first entrance to NFS was Carbono, there it was the Mitsubishi Eclipse, I love it the shape and the sound of that car, tunned the hell of it and finished the entire game with it.
Didn’t care of the Gallardo, the Challenger, the Murcielago. I was just happy to go out on the Eclipse.
After that I didn’t understand why there wasn’t many eclipses in my town but when I saw one in the street I used to stop walking and just admire that beautiful car (for me at least).
It might not be the “best” car on the world, but I can say it was the first car which I fell in love.
A friend of mine has an old heavily modded 1995 eclipse and has left it sitting outside for 2 years now, this conivinced me to start saving for it. Thanks man
I'm an old fart, I was a kid in the infancy of the tuner scene in the early 90s. When the 1st Gen Eclipse hit the streets, it quickly began to terrorize the streets and the tracks. I remember being at Long Beach Terminal Island racetrack when a friend of mine ran his modified 91 GSX Eclipse and the desbelief from all the V8 guys as he handed their ass to them with each pass! It was awesome!
Pretty cool! 👍
Sounds awesome!
80sriceman broooo im in East side lol and I love my 2001 GT
Did the government ever catch this terrorist car?
Sorry, you just sound like you’ve caught the lingo of some “underground” street racer game. In other words, lame as fuck.
80sriceman
Wow, now that must be cool!
The wave that it freakin *STURTEEEED*
It STURTEEED IT!!!!!
Shadow he said that and now I realize that he’s cotton candy randy on GMM
STURTEEEED IT
Re-watch the video just for that part 😂

I really love your hype in your videos man very funny an educational
Eclipse is a crossover. Life has no meaning now
Fuck man 😭
As is the mustang...brave new world

Shit talkies I hope the workers at Mitsubishi get fired
Everything you need to know Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4
Mike Guillaume no need for that, it's a garbage ass vehicle
LOKUS11 you are garbage
Ya a garbage ass car and very heavy
I bet every one of you dissing have never owned one
Tim Beck why would I buy one
I had a '97 gs-t hardtop and a 98 gsx convertible. They were both awesome and reliable cars. I would buy one in a heartbeat as looking as it was in decent shape.
This channel is best guys !
Their energy and also , the animation , with the mix master of shirt clips make me watch their videos more and more
Currently have a 95 Talon AWD standing at 707 RWHP.
And a 91 Talon AWD standing at 525 AWHP.
They both run just fine.
Life is good.
I had a 96 gts eclipse it was trash I loved it when I bought it it was red with the black accents on the bumpers it had blew up twice b4 140000 miles I spent 4 grand rebuilding it upgrading the turbo and putting a greedy exhaust system and a few more things and bit blew up within 10000 miles so I had it crushed out of anger
@@jordanwillett8456 hahaha the car made you so mad you ended it's existence
@@Biggz831
Yes and unfortunately I wasn't thinking and didn't take off any of the parts that were still good or the brand new wheels and tires which I coulda probably got more out of than the whole car the turbo on it was around 1400 dollar's I was just so mad I wasnt thinking about anything I just wanted to know I'd never have to put another dollar or second of my time into that car it was awful please never but one you will regret it
I currently have a '98 GSX 510 aWHP, nice to see another DSM buddy!
I shivered a little reading this. Congrats
Every Japanese/ Japanese-American automakers lost their initial reputation of what they got popular for,
Their 90's-2000's sports cars.
Tuner subaru
I'd say Nissan is still doing fine with the GT-R and Honda somewhat okay with the NSX and Civic Type R but I agree, it's nothing compared to what cars they used to make in the 90s.
Tuner They got popular for creating relatively more reliable FWD economy cars like the Camry, Civic, Accord, Corolla, Altima and minivans like Odyssey, Sienna, and Quest. Subaru relied on things like outbacks, legacys, and foresters.
That too
@@longtailgt This generation GT-R has already been selling for over ten years and the replacement is still nowhere to be seen though
I love my 4g gs sport. Used to have an 01 gt but this 4th gen grows on you, I hear whispers of a turbo coming.
I owned a 1991 Eagle Talon TSI AWD 5 speed manual, the engine and boost with a BIG 16G Turbo was AMAZING! Especially with my full 3" exhaust and hollowed cat!
God damn, I wish I had looked into the car before I bought it though, the first owner literally blew the shit out of it! When I got her, there was a HOLE in the stock 14B Turbo! The camshaft had skipped 2 or 3 teeth and I had to get a top end rebuild - at least I got 1mm Oversized Valves, Titanium Valve springs - and the accompanying upgrades to the valve covers.
My Mechanic was AMAZING! And he was VERY cheap! I bought my Turbo for ~$700, he only charged me about $500 to install - AND TUNE MY ECU for a better fuel map (he already had the ECU flash ready, as he owned 6 of the DSM Turbo Trio himself!) He also ran BIG 16G Turbos (EVO 3 stock turbo) on 3 of his own cars - so he knew it all so well.
Anyway, eventually after draining my savings on things like a new Alternator, Steering Pump, Fuel Pump - and much more - the Head Gasket blew and cracked one of the cooling jackets a little - not enough to leak a lot immediately, but enough that it WOULD have failed, and I did not have the $5500 or more it would have cost - about $4000 or more was in parts alone...
So I HAD to sell her off on eBay as a Parts Car, I only got $3000 for it - and I sunk basically $10,000 into it.
See I thought I was safe because it was low-ish miles when I bought it at just below 60,000....
God I wish I still had that car, I was EASILY putting down about ~300+ HP with 93 Octane and 25 PSI of boost! When she ran as she was supposed to, she was the MOST FUN I HAVE EVER HAD IN ANY CAR! And I have driven a LOT (worked at an Auto Auction, and had friends with fast cars!)
are you sure your car isn't in our driveway right now because we also have an eclipse and it doesn't run and it sounds like your car
I'm a proud owner of a eclipse gsx,
I can wait to smoke the new 2020 supra with my gsx
Long like the 1990s
My DSM keeps me broke
I'm picking up a Celica all Trac rhd tomorrow 😁
Try to pass an eclipse crossover on the snow
Sailing Vessel Nautilus
Keep dreaming
Yeah I shoulda got a gsx i bought a gts the turbo front wheel drive I spent so much money on that car upgrading the turbo a exhaust and a few more mods I spent about 5 grand and it just kept giving me problems I loved it when it ran but those times were few and far between it eventually blew up for the second time it was so furious I had it crushed
Holy shit that "phenomenon" part was golden
My dad had an eclipse when i was younger. Im still lookin for one for myself. Love them more than any other tuner
My dad had a red gsx when i was growing up and it is literally why im here today likin donut vids
3:03 man i love when my spoiler just falls off
I mean the first F&F Eclipse
...went out with a bang didn't it?

Stop
NOOOSSSS
"This is nobody's car..."
NAHHHHHS
Love watching this from time to time reminds me when I’m tired of modding my 95 gsx that it’s always going to be a awesome car.
You guys are amazing I always come to UA-cam for my new car research and these videos help so much
Posted too soon the one I'm looking at is an 03 😭🤦♂️
The editors are just as good as James. This show is golden, it should never end really. *Long live Donut Media!*
The eclipse was my 2nd, 3rd and 4th car. I still love them to this day. Owned a 95, 96 and 97, two GS-Ts and a GSX (technically eagle talon TSI AWD.) I hate what the car became after 1999, RIP DSM.
One of my favorite cars of all times. Only the 2G though none of the others. Great video btw 👍
I still have my Eclipse but it’s the 3G 2.4 in-line 4. It’s with me until the day I die , lowered and it handles like a go kart. Love it.
I had a Mitsubishi T.V.
Gabe i still have a mitsubishi tv
Gabe me tooo that bitch was huge🤣
I have a Mitsubishi forklift.
i have a mitsubishi washing machine. Two, actually. other one broke like my mom's outlander
i had a mitsubishi escalator chilling in the storage
Tuner cars were around long before the F&F movies, the movie just brought it to the mainstream public. My friends in high school took me to the illegal street races once before the movie and video games were made...mind blown! 300zx's, supras, rx7's and eclipses heavily modified like alien spaceships from another world! These cars only came out at night, which made the scene even more cool!
G💜💜D job SWALBERG. 🐣®
Where did u live
matthew natividad yea im moving there dude catch me at one of them car meets lols
Deadass that's tough
as a 2004 GS owner (4 cyl, 2.4L) i can honestly say, it makes up in it's lack of power by looks. i love the way it looks different then most cars you see around, and here in Europe, you rarely see them.
I had a yellow and black eclipse hot wheels when I was a kid and it was one of my favorites. Now I drive a 2011 lancer sport back. Not exactly the same, but the thing can really get around. It's a nice little full circle moment for me.
Everything you need to know on the RS200
I'm a big sandwich neither you got a replica from a Sierra , or a detuned version of the real RS200 cuz you wont get the TRUE RS200 that contains 650hp
ya ya ya.
I'm a big sandwich they did group b. Rs200 was group b
But rs200 was such a legendery car, 4 wheel drive and 650 hp. So it would be really cool if they can make a video on it.
The new evo will be a minivan
youngling slayer66 not Evo. Eclipse
youngling slayer66 i think you kinda stutered there a little
Josuke the Shitposter he's kind of right the new evo is suppose to be an suv
Josuke the Shitposter Evo too
If it's true about the lanevo than my faith in Mitsubishi is clearly dead
I had a 2g GST. It was amazing. When I sold it it was pulling 290 whp. My only issue was it wasnt an AWD.
Loved that car.
My dad took me to a launch screening of Fast and Furious in his dodge van. He bought a 91 2 door accord, put it on 5 spoke tsws, lowering springs and a magnaflow exhaust. Bought my mom a 4 door too a week later. 20 years later, crazy to look back how a movie influenced my dad that much.
Mitsubishi have lost their way. It's like they forgot how to have fun and they'll keep fading away if they keep playing it safe
TFC after the death of my 06 eclipse this past april, I am moving on to a mazda
Ryan Heisler idk what to say but that was wwwaaaayyyyyy off topic lmao
lmao Thanks but seriously, Mitsubishi does not have sports cars anymore, they are leaning towards SUVs and crossovers which to alot of performance and giddy-up people, its sad
it prolly pisses the mitsu dealership i work at off when their service techs drive and modify their old school mitsu but wont touch their new stuff with a 10-foot pole lol. Also even the customers gravitate to their old models more than the new ones xD.
They forgot to pay the freelance designer that created the DSM designs.
Same thing is happening to Ford right now. Companies rip off everyone including designers.
Oh well...I guess that's why the back some of Ferrari's look like lady parts!😄
I love my 95 gst. 135,000 original miles. It hasn't given me any trouble at all and has never broke down. I love the look on rich folks faces when I smoke their fancy lotus : )
youre a great storyteller. Maybe add some more details to make it more believable?
Saavcin what's not to believe?
Stock is slow. So we need more info lol
"what's not to believe?"
That it's never broken down or given you trouble. I also had a '95 GST that I owned for 13 years.. I spent a lot of money on it when it broke. :( But loved it till the end.
I got an 01’ eclipse as my first car. And omg it was amazing. Ever since u saw The Fast and The Furious. I always wanted an eclipse, and a 3rd gen was right where i needed it to be.
JP is the heart of this channel. I always get a good laugh with this guy
3000GT VR4 please
Oh yes
I've been asking the same lol
3kgt just don't get any respect
yeee
Rafee Samith yesyesyesyesyes!!!!
Plz make an Up to speed on the mitsubishi 3000gt , Gto , Stealth, these are really one of the most underated sport japonese/american cars. They have alot of technology for there time and competed with the rx7 , 300zx and the supra .the 3000gt can even be spotted in the fast and furious as brian's car before he buys a r-34 skyline.
Kyle laplante And there was a stock gray 3g Eclipse in that scene :v
Kyle laplante totally agree! The GTO/Stealth/3000GT are sooo underrated, underloved and forgotten...
Kyle laplante totally agree with you. The gto was like a legendary car that competed in races with other legends then got forgotten. But rumour has it. That Mitsubishi is working on a concept for the new gto, but don’t get your hopes up because it’s Mitsubishi.
Kyle laplante
I'm working in a 3000GT
I own a 93 Stealth ES, great car but it's expensive as hell to fix. Also Brian's car was a 91 stealth.
The editing on this one is amazing
I had a 1995 gs-t back in 04. It was scary fast. It just kept pulling on the open road as long as you could hold your foot in it. Awesome ass car.
I had a 96 eclipse..best fun car to drive..i miss that car.had it tune up full blitz body kit ,lower 2in the works.. we need more cars like this for this generation
96 rs here in the garage waiting to be tuned. No one wanted to give the 420a any respect at first, but it's been proven that in the right hands they can take a ton of boost.
Mitsubishi has gone down the drain and its really heart breaking
Ruben Santana honestly yeah. They're one of my favorite brands and my first car I owned was an 01 eclipse and I still drive it till I can upgrade. The evo is my dream car. But they're killing off or changing everything that gave them a name.
They don't care any more. The car section of their company is small compared to so many others. So instead they release whatever the average everyday A-to-B driver wants, and those people don't want much. Same reason the manual is dying.
The cars no, the company yeah. Too many bad reps with bad money decisions and designs are too weird looking.
We'll be here talking about how cool that one cross over was a decade from now because that's all there will be left to talk about
Duane Rackham better had a turbo
I just bought a 1997 Eclipse Spyder for 700dlls and I needed to see this video again! Feeling so impatient about rebuilding it!
Dude I'm 31 and you are covering a lot of my (and I'm sure a lot of other people's) cars. It's crazy how the tuner culture was like, 15 years then gone. Anyway, would you consider doing a 1st gen G35 coupe video or an RSX-S video? Those are classics. I feel like I know everything there is to know about them but I know you will provide so much new info...! Thanks man & keep it up.
He is 1000% right!!! I myself overlook the eclipses all the time, and I was madly in love with them when I was young. The 2nd gen turbo is as legendary as he describes and so from now on, I will pay my respects by always including it in car discussions ♥
OMG... I just saw the commercial for the Eclipse X-over SUV... depression set in... 😑
seguetaspeed Next ? The Mitsubishi Xpander after the Eclipse Crossover.
They're gonna' bring back the Evo!... As a hybrid *sub*compact crossover.
After all, you can't spell environmental without Evo! ;)
Turbonium 2K *REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!*
seguetaspeed BUT WAIT THERES MORE! They said they will make a crossover... with the evo. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Its real btw, just kill me pls.
Had a 97 GST as my first car ever in 2008. Perfect condition. Ended up having a lot of rust damage on the frame/under carriage and by 2014 I had to sell it. Miss that car every day.
Just bought a 99 gst this video really makes me wanna build it!
An SUV. *S U V* . *WHY MITSUBISHI!*
C0dR!n i know bro, just sad
FUCKING SUV
Aren't you just itching to get your hands on the 2020 Mitsubishi Lancer SU-Evo!?!??
Damn that is great lmao
Its where the money is. They still shouldn't have called it an Eclipse
Where is the NSX? WHERE IS THE NSX?! WE WANT THE NSX!
Stiv people in denial of the superiority of the NSX
Stiv We want the NSX now!!!
THERE WAS A VIDEO ABOUT THE NSX. BUT IT WAS TOOK DOWN
Josuke the Shitposter A new one then.
Stiv why
Can you make a video on what best tunes and upgrades to have so I can get an idea of what I should do to my eclipse?? This was one of the best laid out videos and super ordered and y’all’s content is top tier🔥🔥💯
I’ve loved the 2gs since I was 8 years old I just bought one and now it’s tuning time!
Not gonna lie, when I went to the Toronto Auto Show, I ripped the marketing dude to shreds when he tried to tell me that the new Eclipse "maintains the sporting spirit of the original" fuck off with that.
Like saying a former athlete still has skills even after that accident that left him paralyzed
Fuck mitsubishi they turned their back on me, i will never a car on them anymore. They threw all their eggs in one basket into the evo, without making the 4g a awd turbo that wouldve been a evo killer. Or at least bring back the 3000gt.
Both the evo and sti sat on their crown hoping their audience will continue to support them with no innovation for more than a decade while letting their competition catch up. Hope they fail and go bankrupt with nissan now owning 1/3 of their company.
Just quit mitsubishi you're a piece of shit company now, ruined the name.
letsroll yeah the change to SUV was shocking but it's a small company amd crossovers are hot right now even jaguar is making them to stay alive. Their outlanders sell at the bottom of the price line so that says it all about the health of the company. They can still make it up like you said if they bring back the 3000gt vr4 (hopefully not an SUV as well lol) but I think the damage to their reputation has already been done. And sports cars are not doing so well currently despite the economy improving. Anyone who's not a millennial will never forget!
TheBishop12 We millenials grew up on these sports cars bud
Well Crossovers are selling more than a coupe, deal with it.
Ramchargers!
@akita, THis comment needs to be on every one of their videos.
Muhammed Mujahid agreed
Muhammed Mujahid I will see to it that it is. Ramchargers unite.
Akita which ep was that i forgot

My wife has an 07 eclipse spyder GT convertible. Sounds good and actually pretty quick. It’s a blast to drive.
It's sad but true, a lot of people think every DSM was turbo all wheel drive, but only 5 % of total production was the GSX and TSi AWD , so they were pretty rare off the bat , even new. The Turbo All Wheel Drive versions have a high visibility factor in comparison to there numbers because all the DSMs people see on UA-cam or Facebook are the Turbo All Wheel Drive versions, it seems like 80 % of those models ended up as drag cars or street racing lol, I've owned a 95 Tsi awd since new .
Ah, the eclipse. My go-to car in Need for Speed: Underground.
Toyota Celica pleaseeeee! There is so much to say about the Celica
But please focus on the GT-Four/All-Trac, and not the lackluster 7th Gen
Simeon Stoyanov lol I own 7th Gen 😂 pretty good car tho. A lot of fun
Simeon Stoyanov 6th gen rally Gt4 celica is best gen Celica (I own a 95 gt celica 😌)
celica=RICE!!
jumping gaming 7th gen is rice LMAO
Sick video. Most underrated tuner car of all time is the Protege5 though.
I love you.
I had a 1998 GST loved it! it's my second all time favorite sports car
Damn the cars in the thumbnails for these videos are always so clean
First the Eclipse got reborn as a crossover, and soon the Evo will follow suit
Mitsu's really gone downhill faster than a double black diamond
Reznov Gardev the Lancer Evo is gone for good im afraid
Kelly Dunois the lancer yes but they're releasing an evo suv
gooooooooood I can't wait to get mine! Going to check it out next week. 4 hour road trip with a truck and trailer lol. Worth it. '97 Eclipse GST. Built head, evo3 turbo, bunch of other shit. Tuned on 94 at 400whp. Only ever seen 1 driving around here.
Nice. I'm the original and only owner of a '92 Talon TSi AWD, stick of course, and 6/4. Been restoring it over the past few years. No major issues except the trans, which I rebuilt on my own, but time does its thing so it needed a lot of work. Lots of rust, seized calipers, bad struts, replaced most bushings and all ball joints & connecting links, tie rods, etc., rebuilt entire suspension & prop shaft, replaced TB & WP. Used only OEM or high quality aftermarket. Put in a slightly beefier SB clutch but otherwise mostly still stock, or stock-ish, no mods, interior still nice.
Can use some exterior work but nothing too bad. Nicest part, still under 80k miles--and it's been driven cross country back and forth twice (original reason for buying it actually, 3 days after I bought it sight unseen over the phone). No, not for sale, even if this reads like an ad. Maybe someday. Just bragging. It's all mine for now. Not the greatest urban vehicle to drive, especially where the speed limit is 25mph on most streets, but it's so fun to drive where you're able to open it up. And I'm not even that great a driver or a car person.
Of course no one who's not a car person has heard of it, but when I say it's just like the Eclipse, they immediately know what I'm talking about.
