    I knew absolutely nothing about the car scene when I got my 3rd gen and I can 120% understand why people love the 2G way more after having learned so much about the community and all it’s viewpoints and just them main differences between the two cars. However I still love my car. It’s the GTS which is a 5-speed manual and despite not being AWD or turbo (not yet anyway lol I will turbo or supercharge this eventually) the thing actually rips way more than people expect it to, and spinning tires isn’t uncommon for it (which is why it’s main downfall IMO is not being AWD) and the manual is much faster than the auto. At the end of the day the Eclipse is what actually got me into cars and taught me so much about them as well and I’m still learning a lot (mostly because it always needs something repaired hahaha). I know one day when I don’t have this car anymore, I will look back on it and appreciate it for all the knowledge it’s given me about cars and appreciate that I can use that knowledge on my future builds / cars.

      I have recently got a 3rd gen from my uncles brother, it had not been working but me and my uncle found out it was just a aftermarket security system. It is a automatic and a Gs but still, I have begun to love the car. It doesn’t look to hot but it’s my first car so I didn’t really expect much, if I didn’t get this I was going to buy a geo prizm. I’ve only drove it once so far but when I can get it registered I have plans on restoring it and hopefully making it last.

    My first tuner was a 1993 Mitsubishi eclipse GS-T
    I loved it so much I bought a year newer Spyder.
    Then I became a Nissan fanboy and had an S12 240sx and then a 1991 Nissan 300ZX
    And the 1993 300ZX you see in the pic.
    Eventually the Eclipse drew me back in to Mitsubishi cars, and my current project is a 2011 Eclipse GS that I'm currently in the process of turbocharging.
    I'd like to get my hands on a 3000gt, but, like the RX-7, it may be unattainable for me.
    The eclipse defined my first steps into the tuner world, and I'm not happy with Mitsubishi's decisions to kill all their sports cars in favor of the "crossover" vehicles that will only be driven by teenage girls, Karens, and people who have lost the will to live

    I very recently purchased a 2G 4G63T ‘95 Eclipse GST for a very good price. Although the previous owner told me it had a blown head gasket and he called it a “Frankenstein” engine. That was the extent of what the knew about it so It’s a project! Diamond in the rough! The fact this video was posted 6 days ago is perfect! Any tips or tricks are gladly appreciated! I’m currently working on getting to the head gasket itself. But I plan on gutting it (take everything apart). Then proceed to put it all back together and hope that when I turn the key it starts. Thanks!

      I’m a self taught “mechanic” I guess you could say. My daily driver is an ‘09 VW CC, which has a 2.0L 4 cylinder turbo in it. Stock it made roughly 190HP with about the same amount of torque. I’ve done all the work myself and now it’s making upwards of 240hp and I am still able to drive it daily without a money light! So this project is still very new for me but I’m young, very excited to learn; with a lot of time to spend working on this. Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated!
