    The bump in the hood is there to make room for the timing belt cover.

    I had a 93 Eclipse GST that got me into street racing. I upgraded the intake, headers, and exhaust on it. What a fun and good looking car it was!

    I loved the Eagle Talon TSI in the 90s. Stock hp for the Talon and Eclipse was 195 for AWD and 190 for FWD at the crank. This one has been modified like you mentioned. These cars helped kick off the turbo tuning culture with things like Turbo magazine. HKS was a big original tuning company that increased performance.

    I actually had a 90 laser rs turbo. Still to this day I miss that car.

      Hey Ken. Yeah, I had one too and it was one of my favorite cars. And I have had a lot of them.

      @@picodoc8001 loved everything about that car. Was well built but I broke the timing belt at 6700rpm. I had to make a choice to put a new engine in (4500) or continue to pay for school. I chose schooling. This was in 03. I found a 91 talon tsi for sale the week after I bought an FC. didn't have the room.

    I have a 1991 GST that I bought new and it held up well. Totally stock till about 120k. It was reliable and never cut out. That one has been molested a good bit. I still have the car.

    I took my Eclipse to Germany (in 1991 before these were available there). A friend happened to tune cars. The car could have gone faster than 145 mph/220 kph, but that was my limit!

    Loving the Mitsu reviews! Have you done a Mitsubishi Endevour, Mirage, or Montero yet? I would love to see reviews of them (although they are probably not as fun to drive lol). Also would like to see a Mitsubishi Kei Car or another Mitsubishi sports car like the Lancer Evo X.
    Love how you do cars no one else does (:

    I wish my dad didn't make me sell my 90 Laser when I was 17 😭 it also does need the hood bulge when the timing belt cover is attached to the motor.

    they fixed the shifter the next year, car and driver magazine blasted them for the shifter so they had to fixit.. alittle history.lol most of the reliability issues on these cars is owner modifications not done properly or with supporting mods. the also issue is the are old cars and restoration and maintenance are usually not up to schedule. this is i good example of a nice one, he's almost to the golden spot where the fun begins in the restoration.

    The dash is horrendous, someone in the design department probably thought it would be really cool and futuristic but it just looks so bad, and like a waste of space
