The 1g and 2g have very different suspension designs, but in my 1g I can tell you that it did not like it when I stiffened the fronts all the way with my coilover setup. I noticed a lot more understeer when I did this, and I have very sticky tires on my car with a Quaife front LSD. I backed it off to somewhere around half to 3/4 stiff and it was a lot happier. For the rear, a stiffer setting will reduce understeer as well. I run mine with a tiny bit of toe-in just for straight-line stability, but I can't say if that would make a difference in the steering response, these cars just aren't known for having tight steering...you get an EVO if that's what you're looking for.
In 1991, My father started looking for a new car, started by looking at many used cars but, eventually ended up at a Plymouth dealership but, the salesman made a remark the upset my father, then, went to see a Eagle Talon but, My Father ended up purchasing a White 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse G.S. with red interior & all the years of fun we had in that car was priceless! I WISH MY FATHER WAS STILL HERE!!!!
This setup is a lot like mine, I haven't driven a lot of cars but this is by far the best handling car i've driven. I'm also on megan coilovers, the difference on my end is I have fender flares so I have 25mm spacers on the front and 35mm on the rear, which feel pretty nice when driving, DC strut bats on front and rear, and an RM rear seat bar to make the car neutral around the turns, all of this makes the car have extremely low body roll, and an absolute blast to drive. Awesome video man, well done!!!
@@therealjessescheel yes it is, 97. If it has messed up anything, I have not noticed, but I haven't pushed it to the max through a turn, there are no circuits in Tennessee unfortunately. But I would like to at some point, The car has actually been out of commission for 7 months while I was building a 2.3 for it, I started it for the first time a week ago and everything is going great!!!
@@davidmopar8446 I dont have anything of the new engine, I'm pretty much done fine tuning it, and I'll try to post something shortly, maybe like a montage type of video that shows the car and some performance as well
Brother... I've just watched all your DSM videos from when you bought it to now in a row while working... I don't even know how many hours I have been listening to you, hahaha. And then it hit me, how am I not subscribed yet? I hope to one day take the same road, always had a soft spot for the Eclipse ( freaking love the Z as well)... I'd love to get one and update it as it was just released today. Anyways, you're clearly doing a fantastic job, brother! Keep it up! 😎
Thanks for watching all the videos man I am glad you enjoyed them! Eclipses are a lot of fun! Hard to find right now but they are still out there! Best of luck in the search! 😎👍
In my experience the BIGGEST thing you can do to improve the performance in the mountains is the brakes, I was able to be so much more confident and fun in the mountains when I upgraded to evo 8 brembos
Lug nuts get tighted in a star pattern to make sure the wheel is flat on the hub. Doing it in a circle can make the wheels lock out and not flush with the hub.
Thanks mom. I was re torquing them after installing and tightening in a star patterns so I seriously doubt it matters. Plus show me a NASCAR team that installs a wheel and tightens the lugs in a star pattern. I think its hilarious that you watched the video and of all the things to comment on that is what came to mind.
Nice video and those are absolutely one of my top 5 favorite cars and one I do seriously hope to own one day. Feel bad the speed limit is only 25mph tho, I got a pretty nice twisty road I like to throw down on in my '07 Mustang GT in the summer time that's 55mph. All I really have done to my car though is exhaust, CAI, tune and suspension and some nicer wheels (18x9 front and 18x10 rear). Lowered (which I will NEVER do again on a daily car) on Eibach Sportlines with the Eibach shocks/struts and J&M Caster/Camber plates. 5-speed sure makes her fun though, nothing like nailing it in 3rd gear doing 45 coming out of a corner and feelin a touch of slide then jammin 4th. Doesn't quite compare to my "Ace up the sleeve" '69 Roadrunner with a 440 tho :D
Great video, just love POV drives of the Eclipse, got one myself lately but theres alot of work needed unfortunately (in part cause of the german Tüv..) I gotta dumb question though, what exactly are the 3 buttons on the sunvisor doing? Couldnt figure it out so far.
The three buttons on the sunvisor are programmable for garage doors and gates. I believe it’s called home link. If you search it on TH-cam there’s a nice tutorial on how to program it.
You should get a tune I remember my gst being slow but once I tuned it it is no joke the stock turbo is capable of 19psi before falling off but the tune made it 10× more fun to drive
Ive gotta take my dsm to blood mountain here in GA when i get the chance. awesome video! rn my car is in the garage sitting for when i get ready throw a crap load of mods as i did get it as a project car.
I think you and Miguel DSM should link up and do some drives together. He's out in Cali, but him and his Evo swapped DSM, and you and your GSX would look really cool rolling down the road together. As always great content man!
Nice eclipse! I’ve been looking for one in fb market n Craigslist but never find any good condition ones. Will grab another one when I find it. Own two before and looking for again. Beautiful car
got 6 of my 7 tickets in az. fuck that place :D - all in dsms. my first one was a camera in tempe asu right off the freeway, didnt know it was there, was doin 50 or so still and the recording of it online they send you was hilarious. could see me brake hard soon as I saw it, then the moment the flash went off I was right back on the gas rofl.
I've been saying that for 25 years ! These cars are animals for what they are. Questions: what exhaust you running? I hear an open waste gate, do you experience fuel cut? I have a 99 gsx now, want to know what others have
My waste gate is stock. Haven’t made any modifications there. The exhaust is a Megan downpipe into an SRS catback that I swapped the muffler on. The muffler swap was only for the tip. Everything would sound pretty much the same if you just had the SRS. I have a video on it. Search MOTEC exhaust on my channel and you’ll see it. 👍🏼
@@therealjessescheel got injen cold air with rs blowoff recirculating. Doesn't have that zing as blowing to atmosphere. I do have a full turbo back Megan Racing. Sets off car alarms! Sweet. Keep up the good content!
you plan on doing any simple bolt ons to the gsx yet? Also you should into a actuated downpipe cutout. keep it straight pipe cat back on the streets and downpipe on the backroads. cars looking great though big dawg
I saw you overtake on a double solid yellow line hehe. Same here in the philippines, we dont care! not much paying attention on the road sign especially if your behind those slow big ten wheelers.
Next step if if 2 find Arizona Cat 2 lend U Lan Evo cos sick n tired of of fake news that GSX is basically a 2 door EVO(maybe Lan EVO 1-3 but not 4 n up) Just 2 compare the difference. N man no way in hell drive those roads like that at night imagine hauling ass n some stupid animal gets in ur way? yikes
Jesse is way too underrated but when he becomes famous we will be the og subscribers
Hey hey thanks for the kind words! Really appreciate you watching and supporting W!LLY 😎👍
@@therealjessescheel ofc brotha! keep up the great content.
Yup i love hes videos really good content
Absolutely love the content and watching the DSM….Keep it coming Jesse
Thanks for wathing and commenting! Will do! 😎👍

1Gs feel more sportier and more Ralliartish IMO. The inside cockpit steel has modern feel to it.
Your DSM sounds so good haha who needs ASMR when you have those beautiful car noises 🤣
I appreciate that! Thank you so much for watching! ☺️👍🏼
@@therealjessescheel you look exactly like one of my friends btw 😆

Thank you for sharing! If there was ever a vote for car with most sentimental followers the DSM has to be up there! Sorry to hear about your father. ☹
I absolutely love this man and his DSM GSX!!! Great content
Love the car
Love the style of video
Keep it up!!!!! I'm so glad i found this channel
Thanks so much I am glad you enjoy the car and the videos! I really appreciate you watching!!! 😎👍💯✔
Never got to enjoy my eclipse this much! I was a broke teen when I had one.
I hear ya. My first DSM was an in town straight liner. Its been a lot of fun getting to know this one a little better! 😎👍

Glad you liked it? Is your DSM awd? I’ve heard offset spacers can mess with things.

Agree. A tune is definitely coming! Just need to get all the stuff for it and find the right tuner.
Yeah but where the fuck U gonna get it tuned?
Arizona has a lot of performance shops and alot of tuners who will tune a dsm especially if it has ecm link or has a flash able ecu
@@CTM69420 Interesting, maybe that why Arizona like cali N Florida have the most DSMs maybe in the world.
And I live in cali and I got my gst tuned you just have to look around and talk to the right people
I love taking my gsx to the canyons here in socal 🤙🔥
what part of socal are you from? im from SD
Im from LA
The best! I will be doing it again for sure!

I dont pay those. I throw them in the trash when they come in the mail. 😂🙃
@@therealjessescheel first one got me, I learned tho :) took knowing someone who knew they weren't legal, kids don't know better sometimes
So what happened to the body kits on these cars, why do car guys keep the exterior stock?
God I want to live there lol. All your videos make me jealous. That dsm is a dream btw
AZ is awesome! I absolutely love it! 😎👍🌵
thinking of buying a gsx, cool video

Hey are you gonna go to the dsm shootout?
I hadnt planned on it. Honestly I dont know what it is and where it is. 😬🙃

recently sold my 98 gsx to help my girl get through school. she got accepted at u of m ann arbor last minute sooo...
Education is typically worth more then a DSM so pry not a bad financial decision.
I’m consider selling mine actually. Not in love with it.
@@therealjessescheelwhen you looking to sell and for how much? i know the top end was rebuilt and no rust
I saw you overtake on a double solid yellow line hehe. Same here in the philippines, we dont care! not much paying attention on the road sign especially if your behind those slow big ten wheelers.
Got to do what you got to do. 👊🏼😎
E16g is what theses should of come with from the factory. Does the camera have a g meter?
No G meter that i am aware of.
Where is this canyon at?
Apache trail. 88 in Apache junction 👍🏼
Legend has it, after this he had 2 months of repairs because its a DSM and they fuckin break every time you drive them
No repairs yet 🙃🤙🏼
can’t lie these cars are starting to grow on me lol
If you ever own one it gets worse. 🙃
Throw a big 16g on there pal! Put that intercooler to work.
I may upgrade the turbo in the future but it wont be a 16g. Channel will have to grow quite a bit more before I do an upgrade like that.
20G!
🔥🔥🔥
😎👍
Wheels r18?
Yes sir! 18x9.5 +35 if I remember right. If you search avid1 av06 on my channel I have a video for them. 👍🏼
Was that superstition mountain you drove by?
Yes sir! Apache Trail goes right by it. 👍
Take it up south mountain just dint fall off the cliff😂
I cant drive to south mountain. I dont want to get shot on the way there.
Hows the gas on these things?
If your in boost not good. But the tank is tiny for weight purposes so that plays a role in it.
Homie come downtown to Texas ATX road trip lol
austin?
Appreciate the invite. Just being real pry won’t make that trip but thanks for the invite and for watching! ☺️👍🏼
