Man, this one hits hard. As much as it sucks to see the fate of this car, we all learn from our mistakes. Certainly exited for what's to come with new projects.
This build was what brought me back to your channel, after 13 y/o me binged all of your forza videos in 2016 and forgot about the channel. RIP to the MR-GST and looking forward to what comes next!
I feel the pain you went through while editing this video. All the time, money and effort it took to build such a unique and amazing vehicle, just to watch it crash and burn (literally) is heartbreaking.
Daaaam just when i was thinking "imagine a frontal collision with an unprotected gas thank like that. A flame show" and it was its destiny. So sad to see how it ended
What a tragedy. My buddies mom had a Talon when we were in High School and we would get in a lot of trouble in that thing. I can't believe what we thought was fast back then is nothing now.
I understand how much it probably hurts you to think about the eclipse You put a lot of time, sweat and hard work into that car. That's what made me love your content so much. Your fabrication work is stellar and I would absolutely love to see you take on a project like this again with this level of fabrication. Drift Truck V2 is amazing, but the Eclipse just hit different. Looking forward to seeing what you do in the future, especially with the new Accord
The really heartbreaking irony of this video is that it probably only took 10 minutes IRL for it to burn to the ground. 😢 such a sad ending for such an epic build.
Yeah it's sad how something that can take so much time and effort can be gone in such a short time. It's the same thing when I see a house fire. It's gone in maybe an hour, and that family had decades worth of memories as well as expensive things they've saved up for over many years in there, all gone.
Always loved these. Good looking but understated car and a light platform. What held them back is what holds back so many affordable Japanese sports cars, the drivetrain layout. The torque steer and the wheelhop just kills a lot of rhe fun, not to mention the understeer. I always wanted to make one of those 1990s era Japanese hatches rear engined. Love to see it done. Hate to see it die.
I really hope we see a project this ambitious again in the future. It was by far my favorite series to follow. Gingium is one of the best automotive channels on youtube!
Such a bittersweet project. This was my favourite build you ever did. It showed true engineering prowess. I was devastated when I found out what happened to it. I hope you make something like this again. From a proud owner of a miata bottle opener keyring!
It’s bittersweet to watch this video. So much amazing work put into it that we won’t get to enjoy anymore, but the knowledge you gained from building this will be with you forever 👍
Respect for the whole work u did in the car Gingium , you are great and you did an amazing work which might no one will think to do it. Sad for what happened but feel proud of yourself 💙
That sucks that you lost the car! Been through this build before. Interesting choices on not making it a twin engine, The exhaust is kind of weird, I do like the roll cage and firewall. Wondering why you didn't do air-to-water intercooling instead of bringing it up to the front. Curious how you locked the rear wheel steering. I personally put a steel dowel rod through the original steering rack and then welded all of it shut. I didn't catch if it was manual or automatic. It seemed like it was manual. At least it sounded like that. Cool build.
Man I wish I had the time, money and expertise to do unique and incredible projects like this. They go beyond even my own imagination, just because my thought process doesn't extend much beyond bolt-ons and modifying/replacing parts in existing configurations. Especially on a vehicle as comparatively basic such as this. Edit: The clear casing on the timing apparatus is a nice touch! The Ring Brothers always blow my mind in a similar fashion. To be on par in some ways with them is quite an achievement. Shout out to AutotopiaLA, btw, for showcasing incredible builds along the lines of this one.
I usually don’t bother to comment or like anyones stuff on here But you’re truly a super intelligent guy, an artist and one of the hardest workers Ive ever seen. Sorry that happened to the eclipse. I actually watched all the builds on here from the beginning. I usually hate car content and don’t really care what anyone drives But you’re truly a master of your craft and its a different experience watching the knowledge and work that you put in.
Best project ever! Loved seeing all the videos building it and it even got me going with bringing my eclipse back to life! Mine won’t be as good as the MRGST
I think this was kind of a blessing in disguise. This was a such a complex build to be a give away car. The person that would win it would probably not have the skills to maintain it. If you want to go with this car give away thing, the car needs to be actually usable, not a one off example of something almost built from scratch. This was a true work of art that you should've kept :-(
The views really should be higher. There’s a pool of us who are loyal fans who’ve been here for some time, but seriously, 22k views in 6 days got me thinking UA-cam just doesn’t want this channel to grow. Oh well, we’re still all gonna be here watching the best damn automotive content on UA-cam anyways. Gingium, keep up the -good- great work!
Dot you think you would try to make another build like this in the future? It would be sick to see another mr conversion of a front engine car. Rip Eclipse
I forgot about the amount of R&D, fabrication and time went into this. Shame it ended the way it did. I remember feeling nauseous, and you built the thing.
I was expecting a kind of crazy/silly hillbilly DSM build, but this was just PROPER! Probably the best DSM build I've ever seen, but so sad to hear about its tragic end 😢. Just curious, were you ever able to take it out to the DSM shootout in its final state? I feel like I would have heard about it, but I stay off of social media anymore and haven't been to the shootout in years.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 bad ass bro, I remember you also had trouble with the motor, got one engine with the pistons too loose lol… On a sidenote, I really wanted to like that exhaust, the look of it was never going to grow on me, but while you were building it, I had such high hopes that it was going to sound amazing 🤷🏻♂️ didn’t in my opinion. Either way watching this video is equally entertaining as it is heartbreaking.
Daaaaamn that's sad, i didnt know it ended this bad. Anyways You need to continue ahead with your projects. By the way it would be pretty cool if you build the mid-engine eclipse 2.0
It's really sad how this ended. Making it a RWD mid engine from a FWD front engine was definitely interesting. I hope you try that concept again at some point.
Wow forgot the massive amount of work that went into this car, like having to calculate all the modifications required to get the weight distributed right and modifying the sub frame etc.

You're leaving?
Excited*

@@Vixxenix you misspelled excited, hence the "you're leaving".
Damn i thought this was a redemption build, rip Eclipse the honorary Fiero
Dang bro, rest in peace you beautiful red car.

This video hits how broad your skills are dude! Welder, fabricator, suspension design, wiring expert, etc. Bravo! This is car passion right here!
This was peak Fabium!!
It’s a tragic loss but look where it got you. Time to do it even better on the next one.
Incredible engineering and fabrication to make the dream a reality.

This is devastating. The end I mean. The build is amazing. All your builds are. Never stop.

This man gotta build a fiero now 😂
A FWD Fiero xD

God damn this car was insane. I wish you had the nerve to do it all over again now that you know so much about these.
It’s bittersweet to watch this video. So much amazing work put into it that we won’t get to enjoy anymore, but the knowledge you gained from building this will be with you forever 👍
This build was fire!!
The ambition and commitment on this build was insane. Cannot throw enough props your way to full sending this one all the way to the end. RIP :(
Respect for the whole work u did in the car Gingium , you are great and you did an amazing work which might no one will think to do it. Sad for what happened but feel proud of yourself 💙
Most heartbreaking build ever done. So many firsts, so much knowledge gained and lost in the blink of an eye due to texting and driving
I remember this build so much. From start to end. When it crashed and you broke down in tears, i also did that at home here. That cars fate was so sad
Man I’m super impressed with the amount of knowledge you have at such a young age. 🤘🔥
Good overview of how much work went into your build. Can't put a price on the knowledge and skills you developed building it...nice work.
Man, I can't believe he did all that in 10 minutes! Truly one of the best mechanics of our time☝️🙏🔥

Well done!

Same fate on one of my builds, but I started anew one, and also a lot I’ve learnt along the way is going into it
Holy shit dude, I didn't see the end coming! Sweet build!
One of my favorites!! Maybe make another one? But leave the front engine in! Lol
Definetly the best series on this channel
Wow! Great build. Amazing engineering.
😢
Wow I've been following since the Forza days and completely missed this beautiful build! RIP to a sick car but there will always be sicker!
11:21 shoutout Konig for superb durability look at that
My HIghest Respect for that detailed builder
Amazing work brother 💯🏆
Cool Project. Thanks for sharing it.
Sorry some goober wasn’t paying attention.
That’s rough.
I miss this thing 😢. So so so lucky no one got injured or worse 😊

My guy with the crazy builds
Amazing build❤
Omg! That ending broke my heart!!!!!
This was one of my favorite builds man, to bad that the car burned down :(
Man this video was super nostalgic, hits hard 😢
One of your most ambitious builds. Was sad to see it go the way it did.
You did an amazing job what a guy
My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.
Bro this build was huuuge
your have pretty much mastered car fabrication you use to been a gaming channel that had a WRX
such an amazing car, so sad its gone.
Dot you think you would try to make another build like this in the future? It would be sick to see another mr conversion of a front engine car. Rip Eclipse

After watching that entire video, the ending hit me like a punch in the gut 😭
Arguably the best DSM ever made was this generation Eclipse/Talon/Laser
This is the music I subscribed for.
Sucks this car isnt with us anymore, gonna watch the drift truck video after.

Dude 110% build amazing
Daaaaamn that's sad, i didnt know it ended this bad. Anyways You need to continue ahead with your projects. By the way it would be pretty cool if you build the mid-engine eclipse 2.0
wow,hard work,amazing job,exept for bad ending

Surprised to see how much content I remember from this build. Sorry that it ended the way it did.
BUILD A OTHER DSM !!!! LOVED THAT BUILD
I remember the design for this was really scientific and meticulous, would you ever go down that route again?
I would pay to see you build another one
OMG what an M. Night Shyamalan ending to this beautiful car. RIP Great work though.
Gone too soon. Forgot how sick this build was.
I didn’t even know about this project, but damn at the very end got me sad see this happened
Sad surprise ending.
You can do it again dude, just learn from the mistakes ❤
I can't believe I forgot about that thing.
OMG 😮😮. Im sooo sorry this happened. You cant stop here. Version 2.0 has got to happen.
This one seriously hurt hope you was able to recover some of the cost through insurance. Was you ever able to salvage anything from the engine?
🔥
Wow forgot the massive amount of work that went into this car, like having to calculate all the modifications required to get the weight distributed right and modifying the sub frame etc.
Please build one again !
Isn’t this the one that caught on fire
oh wow please build another one..
How much that car weight after all of that Steel panel and Pipes fitted.
,,Eclipse, it's a good car''
i hope next projects restoration nsx ... I think the NSX is suitable for you to drive.
RIP , should try again but with a K24
Hey does anyone know what the first song is named? Thx
what a tragedy brother
Should have named this one fire starter 😂 sorry I know too soon
