      I was lucky enough to have this car in my 20's. The motor lasted 100K, but it took a lot of fixing to keep it going. Transfer case, clutch, etc..all replaced. Motor was rebuilt once under warranty. It was very fast and the Thermal Research exhaust for this car was the BEST!

I know it isn’t anything special but it is to me. Lower miles, couple of bolt ons, gears and a tune. Nothing crazy but it’s pretty quick. Want to eventually put a blower on it and forge the motor. I’m a car guy at heart so I love talking cars.

    As a person who's played with DSM for nearly a decade, let me tell you, it's quite a pain in the arse, especially owning one that's been pass around. People love to neglect these cars, trying to cut corners ruining these car. People tend to buy them, mess them up and then end up parting out the cars and junking them, which is quite sad

    My personal experience with my first 97 Eclipse Spyder
    •Battery died because I stalled it by accident one too many times
    •Throttle cable burned out
    Had to go to 8 different junk yards to find the part
    •Bought a new battery because the old battery was going dead and couldn’t turn on the car anymore
    •Drove it some more
    •Accidentally went by a speed bump too fast and broke something so the brake lights always stayed on
    •Had to unclamp the battery until I fixed the problem
    •Fixed the problem and put clamps back on
    •Apparently burned the throttle cable again in the process
    •Tried to open the door one day and the door handle broke (they’re plastic)
    •A week later the right side skirt was coming off
    •Ordered the part online but they weren’t for the same engine I had
    •Eventually gave up and sold it. Rip.
    Learned the hard way on buying a DSM that’s been sitting in a backyard with 180k miles. Never again.
    Other than that. Fantastic handling. Fantastic sound. Would definitely buy another eclipse tho.

    From Southern Wisconsin here. Bought my 92 Tsi awd November 2018, needed clutch and brakes. Thought no biggie, I owned one back in 2006-2009 I can get everything at the parts stores. True with the exception of the rear subframe and almost all of the control arms and trailing arms that attach to it. Car was rustier than I had initially thought, needed a complete new rear subframe and everything that goes with it. Only one shop makes what I need and that's Volk Metal Craft. Great stuff but really expensive, and they don't make 1g subframes yet. So I'm still out of luck. If anyone wants to buy one, just spend the extra money and get one that was loved. These are amazing cars, just do your homework on what is no longer available for them before you buy.

    I owned a 1990 eclipse GSX for a few years. The previous owner damn near totaled it with "mods" but it drove and had a red talon that came with it as a parts car. The engine yeeted itself on first drive. Threw a timing belt within 20 minutes of owning it. After replacing the bottom end, the turbo had a couple blades that were cut up, but it seemed to be fine so I just kept driving it with a new bottom end. 2 months later, maybe 2 weeks of driving time, the turbo yeeted itself and sent shrapnel through the engine. This time, nothing survived. So, 1 crate motor later, I decided i was gonna be proactive in making sure it will be indestructible since I am a smart boy and learn from my mistakes(oh god how naive I was). Solid engine mounts, solid lifters, kevlar clutch(wtf was i thinking?). The cars already way to heavy clutch pedal was probably about 45lbs. The car shook so bad it melted the plastic that held on the front marker lights. I tried to fix them with zip ties but they disintegrated. Nothing less than full sized metal coat hangers held those things on. Of course the clutch master cylinder is in the middle of the car, since the AC(that I never even got to work) is directly behind the clutch pedal, so the 45lb pedal that operated the super clingy awful to drive clutch bent the bar that goes over the other 2 pedals to the master cylinder. All this happened in the first year of ownership. Even after all that, the car spent 90% of its time on jack stands.
    Eventually I bent the frame on a hard launch because the previous owner cut the front frame up to fit the ebay turbo kit he put on it. I learned a lot about being a mechanic on this car, and it taught me many life lessons. Most the problems I had with the car were self inflicted but I would never lie to someone and tell them that DSM's are 'reliable'. Future buyers beware.
    But with that being said, it may have been a POS. But it was a fast POS. And it was MY fast POS.

    • @KirkKiyosadaTome
      @KirkKiyosadaTome 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@georgieperezjaiman9403 Yeah, the issue was that while nearly every part of the engine came from the Japanese Evo, the major exception was the crankshaft (well, that and the Garret T25 turbo), which caused premature main thrust bearing failure, allowing the crankshaft to shift in the engine (hence, crank"walk"). You can imagine how bad things can get when something that is spinning at 7k rpm is allowed to wiggle back and forth. The typical cause for failure is destruction of the crankshaft angle sensor, which basically is like dropping a grenade inside of the engine, sending shrapnel flying everywhere. It was a major, major problem with the second-gen DSMs. I believe that this wasn't an issue on the first-gen, since the crankshaft was also from the Evo. By the third-gen, Mitsubishi was using a completely different V6 or the old NA I4 instead of a forced-induction I4 (4G63), so they wouldn't have experienced this.

    I love/like the Mitsubishi Eclipses and personally I recommend to be real PATIENT owning one. Anyways, 420a engine or 4g63. Doesnt matter. I have a Mitsubishi Eclipse 1997 420a/5speed. I'm fixing up my project car to be in good condition with temporary fix. Man it needs a lot of work and still does. 3rd previous owners or more idk, I bought it for 400$. The car was a miracle to even drive from Bakersfield to LA where I purchased it.
    As of right now, here are the car condition it had and what I've done to it throughout the year (1/2019)
    - Transmission pivot ball wear/bad (tip plastic made) - (temporary fix, shove 3-4 pennies between pivot ball and clutch fork to clutch/shift in gear properly)
    - Transmission shifter cable literally hang by 1 thread and ripped apart after arriving to LA (replaced it)
    - between the transmission and engine sheet plate is damaged/bend, it would contact with the starter & flywheel teeths (temporary adjust it but clutch pedal all the way down to shift gears smoothly)
    - clutch slave cylinder was strip and leaked (replace it)
    - some camshaft bolt was strip af (drilled out the strip thread and install pitch threads)
    - Crankshaft pulley misaligned (replaced it correctly)
    - Alternator was intermittently bad (rebuild it)
    - Car overheated (Bleed out coolant system and replaced all coolant hoses)
    - Gas tank had a drilled hole from a previous owner. For those who own a 1995-1997/2nd gen eclipse and plan to install from a 1998-1999 2gen 2piece rear seat. Please do not drill a hole. The gas tank literally 2-4inches away underneath the body. (drop gas tank and JB weld it)
    - last but not least, engine bay wire harness was a half a** repaired and 7-8 connector was mimic over with electric tape. (I had to pro-solder the connector and redo/check the entires wire harness if repair needed. Including the signal light harness.)
    - Overall, collect & replace interior/exterior and do service maintanence. Other than that, needs a paint job.
    It drives great but has a small rough idle because old car and fuq me for being a car culture guy lol jk but the car has 260,000 mileage. All I need to do is smog the car.😭😢😫🙏🏼
    This based on car work experience and professionally knowledgeable on cars. This is what its like to own a eclipse. This is for all car enthusiastic who love/hate your own car. Stay strong but save financially. 😎

  • @littlebucks912

    My first car was a 90 gsx when I was 16 in 1996. I went to h.s. in a small town and there were only about 10 cars worth racing each other. Pretty much 90's cars were slow unless you spent alot of money. I was able to get a larger turbo, fmic, clutch upgrade and many trinkets I've forgotten. Nobody thought a 4cyl could be quick but I soon became a top street racer. This car broke and broke over and over. My dad wanted it so we swapped and I got a 95 mustang GT last yr of the 5.0. Now people assumed I had a fast car with the flowmasters and burnouts but it felt like a slug compared to the eclipse. With bolt ons in each car my dad and I raced each time we put on new speed parts. The races were essentially the same. He would jump me 2.5 cars due to AWD and around 100mph he would be 5 cars ahead and I would hold that momentarily until the mustang fell flat on its face around 120mph and he became a spec in front of me. I couldn't get the mustang to go more than 135 while the eclipse topped out in the mid 140's. Alot of fun back then but even the quick eclipse wouldn't be any competition to the sports cars of today without alot more $ put into it.
