- Here it is, the complete restoration of my 2G DSM in just over 10 minutes. This was so much work, I wish I taped more of the assembly, but this video was so difficult to try and cram into a 10 minute episode.

![Building a Modern Day (Fast and Furious) 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX in 22 minutes! [TRANSFORMATION]](/img/n.gif)
Every time i see a 2G Eclipse i fall in love for the first time all over again.
I didn't like it that much when I first got it, but now I'm absolutely in love with this car
DubClub they’res a red one for sale for 2k and I wanna get it but idk what’s wrong with it
I'm the same way, gonna get one as a project for myself, unfortunately my dad lives 2000 miles away so he cant help me :/
Taking things apart is easy, now putting them back together in order😂
That's for sure. Wish I woulda recorded more when i was putting it together.
Do a new one, but on a 3rd gen eclipse 💯
@@iam_dsm7904 if I did one of those I'd have to atleast AWD swap it 😁
@@IT_Performance that or at least an Evo motor swap
@@fsega3669 definetley. I dont know what that guy with the awd swap did with his motor but definetley swapped or boosted atleast
Best episode of The Flash yet!
Beautiful car, and very nice work. I wish I could do body work like that.
Thank you! It sucked doing all that work 🤣
Nice! I see you are familiar with the poor seam sealing on these cars. Hahaha. I subscribed!
Haha. Especially when there has been shady work done before. But it's over 20 years old. I'll cut them a break 🤣 thanks for the support!
Oof, so much shady work on my car too! No problem.
Ours was a bitch to fix.
@Adam Ruiz They use it on the door edges wherever all the metal is folded over, but not underneath trim.
Its just to prevent water getting into the seam. Not structural.
Awesome video... i literally just got the thumbs up from the wife to start the restoration of my 98 GST spyder. The car i had when i started dating my wife in high-school. Its been sitting for 17 years. I no longer have the knowledge or time myself (probably why its been sitting for 17 years 😂). I started calling around and posting on DSM tuners yesterday to game plan and hopeful find a DSM guru/shop.... im looking to restore it inside and out. I'm not looking for a drag car, but more for a weekend cruiser for the wife and i, that's got some heat, with the occasional car show/gathering.... any advice?
.
Sweat restoration. I hope you are still enjoying that baby.
Thank you! That’s awesome! Good luck with the build!! And I am!
That's a Beat from Death Note anyway just imagine if back then if the Mitsubishi Eclipse was the Shinigami of cars cuz it deserves to be better then it should have been the only car that inspired a generation only left to be forgotten by that generation
That was great to watch. I like how you re-sealed EVERYTHING! Now I gotta find it in another video ripping around! 👍👍
Yes sir. Follow us on instagram @officialdubclub we got a couple videos on there 😁 but it's going to the dyno at the end of february, then we wait for the weather to get better
@@IT_Performance I hear that! Waiting for the driveway to "de ice" itself to do a Piston and rod upgrade on my Gsx. Heading to insta now! 👍
@@TPGDSM we are lucky enough to have a nice heated shop. That makes everything way better haha
Part 2 Please. Love to see the rest.
They finally did an eclipse ❤️
How do you just restore a whole ass car 😭 I want to start to modify my eclipse but have NO idea where to start lmao
I've been working on car for a long time haha. My advice, when modifying dont rush, buy quality parts, and make sure you stay safe. And if you're gonna tune it, pay a little extra and go through a reputable tuner, there are a lot of people that claim they can do e tunes and have no idea what they are doing. It's just not worth it, not saying that all e tunes are bad. But you have to know who you are dealing with.
Do u build cars for the public ?
@@Flight23pg we were thinking about it. Depends on what you need done. Dont know if we would want to take on a project like this just yet.
if you wanna modify your car, a nice set of wheels, some suspension, a nice wrap or paintjob is a really good start. then it will be able to handle the horsepower you put into it. so.. yeah.. i'd start with wheels and suspension, a cold air intake if you wanna make it sound a little better, an aftermarket exhaust (good one, not some cheap ass random one). ^^ hope it helps.
Start with coil overs 🧟
When girls say its me or the car like you didn't just grind your ass off like this smh
This car ain't never gonna break my heart
Luckily my wife understands the car struggle 😅
Love 2G Eclipses, loved this video
Thank you very much. Subscribe for more 2g content 😁
Man, I need you in my life
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice video , keep pushing and building we look forward to more content
omg good job bro
Thanks!
Music makes me want to dolphin dive onto concrete
Such a good job i love this car i have one congratulations that is a perfect job!!!
Thanks bud!!
This makes me wish I still had my gsx
Get another! 😁
How do you keep track of where all the hardware goes? 😂
Great video! Love to see more 2g's making a comeback. Ps. that's a gst not a gsx.
Haha I know. But its awd swapped so I dont know what to call it 🤣
DubClub gst/x
@@samurailottery4052 lol exactly
Migel dsm has a evo swapped awd gst to gsx he put a gsx sticker on it soooooo 🤷♂️
@@fullweezy3553 I believe his was the RS. I think the gst or gsx it's a lot harder to evo swap that a 420a car
We’re doing the same to our eclipse!! We want to start drag racing but unfortunately it’s a convertible , so we might have to make our own hard top
Hell yeah!!
The first car I fell in love with as a kid, I now own a Gen 3 sadly not a Gen 2 but I love Eclipses so much. They are nostalgic for me, fuck Eclipse SUV c R o S s O v E r.
Ohh yeah, the crossover us disgraceful. But yeah this 2g is beautiful!
@@IT_Performance indeed keep doing what you do bc honestly was impressed
I owned one of these brand new back in 97 and a drunk driver hit me totaling it after only a month.
thought about buying another one and restoring it but I just don't have time for that.
That's tragic. Unfortunately they are getting harder and harder to find clean and unmolested. I really lucked out with this one being in the shape that it was in when I got it
You guys are real act!
Love eclipses just liked and subscribed
Thank you very much sir! I think your our 1501st sub 😁
Sweet
Wow❤
Great job.. Needs more views!
Good job!
Thank you!
My eclipse 2G is on process restoring it. Wish to see your eclipse 2G. 😍😍
You will see it more on the channel. We are currently starting a different project, but the Eclipse is not going anywhere :)
U built a whole fucking car 🤤
Almost lol
@@IT_Performancewhat app did you use for time lapse ?
Awesome
Thank you!
Me and my brother are restoring one
Nice. I’ll buy it now.
Not for sale. Sorry brother!
This car so beautiful
Much appreciated! We try out best
bro do more videos like these!
Yes. Those take a long time to make though. Cuz its like 8 months worth of work 🤣
Don't get me wrong. you guys are talented and do great work. But, the title of the video? How do you "restore" a car that starts off in better shape than 99% of Eclipse' out there. Maybe I'm wrong and seeing the car in a video didn't do it justice for how bad of shape the car was in. I would call this finishing a car. Or even, remodeling a car.
Thank you, and that is true. The car was in pretty good shape compared to some of the other dsms we've seen. But we have about 1500 hours in the car as of now, even though it didn't look like much in the video. I suppose we could have came up with a more specific title.
I'll be honest, the Eclipse GSX, the 3rd gen car (2001-2005) and the 4th gen (2006-2012) are my favorite.
The 3rd and 4th gen unfortunatley did not come with a "cool" engine or AWD, but I saw a 3g that was awd swapped and boosted I think. That was a nice car.
The Eclipse today isn't the same car it once was anymore. It's a pity that it became an SUV crossover.
@@jovhannyfeliciano7179 yeah I hate that they had to ruin the eclipse name like that. They could have called it anything, why did they have to call it eclipse??
To think, that the Lancer Evo X was the last Lancer and now the Eclipse is wasted into the SUV we see nowadays.
@@jovhannyfeliciano7179 its awful. its a messed up world we are living in..
I just got a white 98 gs spyder convertible with black rims as my first car 2 days ago and it’s only got 116k miles but I might have to get rid of it, I’m already in love with it😭 I ordered a map sensor and if that doesn’t fix it it’s probably gonna be a huge money pit💔
All Mitsubishi’s are money pits lmao you fix em up all nice just for em to break down again or have something go wrong
@@clips1071 is it worth it with only 116k miles though?
Nossa !!! Tá de parabéns.
O cara não fala Português.
Bro how did you even find all the parts to rebuild the car? Like the rubber around the doors and stuff like that. Even the interior. I feel like this build would be so hard to make happen.
Just pick up whatever is missing from partouts. It's hard to find new parts and used parts are over 20 years old so it's a bit hard to fine good parts, but for sure not impossible!
Nice! More please👍😍haha
Awesome vid man! How much did all that cost???
Too much... About $15k
just got my first car, turning 16 in march, 1998 gst
That's awsome! Wish I could have gotten one of these back then. They are cool little cars. Now all you have to do is AWD swap it 😁
@@IT_Performance how much would an awd swap cost
@@skxdsm if you can do the swap yourself you probably be looking at about 1000 to 1500 for parts
@@IT_Performance should i swap the motor to a 6 bolt?
@@skxdsm I'd say run the 7 bolt. They really arnt as bad as people say. If it's not crank walking it's a good engine. I have a 6 bolt, but there's pros and cons to both
Mitsubishi Eclipse similar of Toyota Supra
Yeah a lot of people say that
What'd you do with the freon in the ac system? Illegal stuff or is there a method? Releasing it is dangerous too right?
There was no ac
@@IT_Performance they don't come with ac? What do people that delete ac do with the freon though?
@@garrettrot46 no they do. This one just didn't have it. It still doesn't
i want one for my first car so bad just needa save up
Yes sir the good part is you can find one pretty cheap. Bad part is they are slowly climbing in price, especially the clean ones
I will have a 2g eclipse one day 😔
They are getting harder and harder to find rust free. People are starting to ask more and more money for the clean ones. But you can always do what we did. Find someone's unfinished project that they just got over. Best of luck! Let us know if you ever get one and need any advice of work done. We will do our best to help out!
@@IT_Performance there are never any GST's or GSX's near me eithers. It's always the 420a's that are up for sale. And unless I wanna turbo a 420a I'll just have to swap which sounds like a pain in the ass. Awesome vid bud, definitely subbing 🤙🤙
Out of curiosity, how much would all that cost to be done on a car?
What was the actual time it took for you to complete this?
A little over a year
How much time did you spend on this rebuild?
I got the car a year ago. And I've been working out it every weekend and I'd say every other weekday after work. Friday night's I usually work on it till 5-6 AM. So I'm gonna say a lot? 👍
DubClub right on. That is a big investment. I’m working my way through your playlist on the rebuild. I have a 98 too that’s seen some serious neglect in its life. Plan on turning it into a project car in the not too distant future, hopefully. Good to have this resource to refer to for when I dig into mine. Nice work!
@@JFKreations definetley. If you have any specific questions about anything in the videos or anything not in the videos send us a message on facebook or instagram and we will try to help you out
@DubClub im currently restoring a GST. What did you use to clean out the whole engine bay in the video? a wire wheel? also what sealant did you use when putting back all the windows?
I used a wire wheel on the scratched up bits then sanded with sandpaper and then hit it with a scuff pad. And actually I called in a window guy to put all the windows back in. It doesn't cost much for them to come put and install em and I didnt want to mess with it
Lo más importante es ver vomo quedó!!
how long did this take?
1.5 years!
@@IT_Performance awesome job!!!
Thnis fuckin video is super dope
Thank you very much sir
How much did this cost altogether?
I'm have around $15k in it now. I still want to bag it, get some carbon fiber bits and get some legit wheels for it. So all said and done I'll probably have around 20k in the car
My family have a 1995 mitsubishi eclipse gst with turbo and its been sitting outside for 7 years. I really want to fix it up but they told me it will be really expensive, after seeing this im actually considering fixing it but i dont know how to start and where to buy the parts since mitsubishi discontinued them.
What all is wrong with it? Engine parts are pretty cheap for it. Body parts you have to find used, or carbon fibre new. But it shouldn't be too expensive as long as its not rotted out
Honestly we dont know all it needs but for sure its the fuel pump and some of the hose for the water. Some of the car has rusted and leather seats are stiff and broken glass window.
If the rust isn't too bad I'd say its worth saving
Love the resto man. Just out of curiosity, where do you order your parts from? Got a 97 GSX I’m working on and I can’t find a good OEM shop for the life of me lol
I got lucky enough to get most of the parts I needed for the build with the car. Also I used ebay a lot for wiring/engine parts. And I got some little things from the Mitsubishi dealer like driveshaft bolts and some other hardware. Also there was a junk yard by me that was parting out a gsx so I got a couple of pieces from there too. You can always check car-part.com for the parts you need. They basically tell you what junk yard have the parts you need and most of these places ship even if they are farther away.
Thanks for the support !!
DubClub Gotchu, thanks man. I’ll do some digging. Yo and gl with your build!
@@alogsdino5311 thanks! Let me know if you have any questions
Where is your garage located? Can I have a link to a website/contact info?
We are in Cleveland Ohio. Looks us up on Facebook or Instagram - officialdubclub
I found a good running gst with no rust I just baught !! Besides not driving it in bad weather conditions what’s some things I can do to the car to help prevent rust v
Cavity wax every hole you can find. Also undercoat. They mainly like to rot out around the front strut towers and right in front of the rear wheels. If yours is clean there id wash it up and spray some sort of paint and then a good quality undercoat we like to use SEM products. (In the wheel wells, not the engine bay) lol
@@IT_Performance thank you and yes I am extremely Lucky not even surface rust on this thing so far
Thats awsome. Whats your Instagram? We would like to see this project
@@IT_Performance eclipse.ninja_123_
@@IT_Performance most my content on there is my 3g eclipse I havnt posted much of the 2g but I will be posting the build !
So, how long did this take in total?
Im currently buying a 2g Eclipse GS, 4G63 N/A, the guy is selling it for way too cheap considering its pretty much rust free (am in germany, thats a rarity here) but it stood still for about 8 years so theres some standing damage, maintainence and obviously stuff like faded paint and whatnot. The engine was replaced at some point and only has about 50k miles on it so probably doesnt need a lot other than new fluids.
but as i currently still have another (crappy but working) daily, id like to fix and do as much as possible to it beforehand.
It took about a year to redo the whole body. Thats working on it after work. Probably about 20-30 hrs a week.
@@IT_Performance oh lord
Looked so nice and quick in the timelapse (duh)
I was hoping for a "this was like three months of work" kinda thing
Welp, maybe im not doing that yet after all... we will see :D
Haha I wish. It could have been. Just it mainly just me doing the work alone in my free time. If you have more time to spend on it it wouldn't take this long. I think that a year is really not too bad though for the amount of work that I've done to this car.
@@IT_Performance Welp, i bought it. Crankwalked out on me about 3000km and about a month later. 🤦♂️welp, theres the project car i was asking for.
my mans doesn't use a dust mask cus he's build different
It's true
Late to the party but what wheels are those?
The black ones are evo 8 wheels rattle canned black
@@IT_Performance Nah I meant the 12 spoke ones gunmetal ones
@@nolanwaddill8472 those were some Aspire PV7 wheels
nice ... what is the black color in the interior? it´s some bitumen underbody coating? noise elimination?
Yeah. Just some undercoating. Figured it would dampen the sound a bit and also just give it an extra layer of protection from rust, etc
@@IT_Performance and it worked to mute the sound?
@@SvkMarty I wouldn't say mute. And it all depends on how thick you spray it. But even if you spray super thick I doubt its gonna feel like a Bentley 🤣
What was the cost of your restoration if you can share that? Obviously, won't include labor. I have a 95 TSi AWD that I'd like to restore from frame to finish.
I have about 15k in the car. I bought the car with the engine and awd swap for 1500. So it added up a lot haha. It's the little things that really add up haha. I still want a couple more parts probably another 5k lol
@@IT_Performance appreciate the feedback.
How much to do a gs model?
How much would something like this cost?
20k in parts and the labor i did all myself...
part 2 plzzzzz
I will be posting an update soon.
What was the tool you used to remove the windows with?
It's like a tool for window cutting. Dont know exactly what it's called. Pretty much looks like a big spatula that attaches to a reciprocating saw.
DubClub Thank you for answering me.
The heck? Do we get to see it finished?
I wish we had more footage of putting it back together, but we do have more videos of the car all together working on other things with it. Check em out!
So this is a GSX even though it's FWD???
Its swapped to AWD
What year on this eclipse?
Would you do some wiring work on my dsm
Send us an email. Itperformancefab@gmail.com
Man you need better music for this, I love the restoration though.
What year😁
1998 😃
Or 97. Can't remember. I think it's a 98
Thx
Dame I was thinking the same thing!!!
Hey if you want a really cool business I have one you might be interested in!
I have way to many enemies now, because of this!
I have to do international business and talk to a lot of people who tried to cause me problems for years!
They LOST and want me dead now!!!
I JUST WANT TO TALK AND UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DECIDED TO ATTACK ME!!!
I've been looking for a gsx for almost a year and no one is selling one😫 they all are being sold like 3 states away from where I am
Yeah they are getting harder to find. Especially a clean one. Could always do what we did tho, get a GST and AWD swap it. Its a fairly easy swap.
Would you be willing to do my eclipse for a video I just got it for a first car and it needs body work and some parts wanting a new paint job or redo
