No you do not have a 6-cylinder Eclipse turbocharged that only runs Thirteen's lmao my stock blog GTS did Thirteen's with full bolt ons in a ported intake manifold lol either you're lying out your ass or you have the worst built 3G ever
I love how your eclipse looks, even with a stock body. I currently have the same color as yours and i want to eventually want to do the same things to my car, it's inspiring to see the same issues that i have grown up with. I really hope to see yours on the road someday! Thanks for making me less embarassed to have a stock eclipse and showing me that i could accomplish the same thing one day.
Hi Michael! Thanks for subscribing. I'm sure Rob, the car owner, will love seeing your comment! I appreciate that Rob's story has inspired you with your car. Stay tuned for more episodes to come. Thank you for watching!
There is nothing to be ashamed about having an Eclipse with a stock body; they are beautiful cars from the factory :) Glad I was able to help validate your decision!
one of the most inspirational things i saw, i saw the video of the fastest 3g eclipse on stock internals but never saw the man behind the car... i liked very much this video, very well performed, nice music and nice colors. i own a turbo 3g 4g64 eclipse and this story is like my own... keep posting videos like this....
My 03 Eclipse is getting worked on... all the spark plugs need overhauling and the engine's timing is off. I watch these videos to make myself feel better because I miss my car :(
I have a GT eclipse, I am mechanically inclined now more than I have ever been with all the Honda’s I’ve owned thanks to my v6. Respects to you my man! You’re inspiring to keep on going!
Great video! I also noticed the 3G on the other side of the road at 9:10. I remember meeting Rob for the first time at a Club3g meet in Normal IL. Seeing his and Steve's booted 3G inspired me. Both of them already had everything in my wish list on Amazon. I still remember leaving Grady's and watching you and him race down veterans parkway leaving a dozen other 3Gs in the dust/Steve's oil cloud. This car brought me to Rob and a dozen other friends along the way. Some of witch even showed up to my wedding. I'm looking forward to his next build and seeing him again soon.
Damn, I inherited my 01 GT Spyder from my grandparents my junior year, and I had the nicest car in my high school. The day after I got home from my freshman year in college, my auto transmission died and left me on the side of the highway. Now, 2 months later, I’m trying to save $5000 to swap in a manual transmission and invest in forged internals to eventually prepare for big power. I might be biased because the 3g eclipse is my first car, but they deserve so much more respect in the car world because of how truly solid they are (other than the sportronic transmissions). This video is proof that if you can dream it, you can build it!
Hey Logan! Thanks for watching the video. I'm glad it resonated with you and you found inspiration in it. That's what Dream Machine Video Series is all about. Hope you post some content of your car as you build it. Would love to see the progress!
@connor mawhiney Thanks so much for the compliment. We try our best to make high quality content. Stay tuned for more and check out our other videos if you haven't yet. Thanks again!
I just bought a 3G GS convertible for my wife for $650 because it needed a timing belt. $100 and a weekend worth of work and it wasn't a bad investment.
This is awesome, now I know thorough trail an error, one day I can work on my car too, this has given me the confidence to try, I really appreciate this. thanks brother.
Wow,i was planning on selling or trading my 3g eclipse,but after watching this video, i felt like this kinda love for it, but like you said, its a big sacrifice to upgrade a car
third gen eclipses have always been a favorite car of mine. Reminds alot of my childhood... ive owned a 03 gs spyder before and i never got the opportunity to really put in work into it, but now after watching this, makes me want to get another one and actually dedicate time and money into it
It's a good platform for a project car, but most people swear it isn't so you don't see to many beyond stock, but when you see one that's been worked on it's awesome and quite rare
My V6 is pretty cool even naturally aspirated it's nice and quick, like the look of it because you don't really have to do any major cosmetics to it, they look good as is.
What an amazing story! Just raw, and as "True" as it can get. I can relate to this short documentary in so many ways. I now own a 3g eclipse. ( 6g72 3.0 5 speed) And my mission to build a turbo for it starts tomorrow. I wish i still has my RS from back in the Military days, but I'm excited about what lies ahead. Very inspiring, and congrats on the time! I would of never thought my RS would of ran in 13's let alone 12's back then. ( i just didn't see the potential)
My first car was a 2000 eclipse gt, bought that in 2003 on a used car lot but sadly totaled in not even a year and a half later. loved the car so much that i went ahead and bought a 2003 eclipse gts and didnt trade it in until 2014.
Awesome story I have a 02 3.0 Gt & I would love to turbo mine but it is so expensive & like you in the beginning i'm not much of a machanic but I try. You should def drop the front & back bumber & debadge it. Mine looks alot better with out all there name on my ride. Thanks!
Ur really deep into cars. I have a 3g gt v6 2003 I have all stock. At 170,000 did the two heads. The timing belt, oil pump seal, a binch of stuff. These v6 engines are a pain to work on. Nevertheless, it feels good to fix your own car. Congrats.
I had an 04 spyder gt as my first car. Amazingly fun and are pretty bullet proof. (Put 20,000mi on it while taking her to redline atleast once a day) Did my routine basic maintenance and she just kept going. The plan was to wait for it to blow up then get the 4g46 version but the day has yet to come lol.
@RS1 the 4 cylinder (4G69) can use many parts from the Evo motor (4G63T) to build big power for relatively cheap, so if you're looking for performance, the 2.4 is your best bet. It's much more difficult to make anything out of the V6. Many 3G owners swap out their engines for the 3.8 from the 4G which is a far more potent mill
I felt that lol, the day I brought my eclipse GT which was the 3.0 liter V6 trim. Three people brought their eclipse but the funny part was is that theirs was the the lowest trim available which was the GS v4, and the one that was the GT was the V4 engine in it. Only reason why mine was apparently comparable was because mine was the only one with the nice bumper and because it was sterling silver but it was banged up so theres that. Im just happy im the only one to say that i owned mine since the day it came out🤷🏽♂️
Thanks so much for watching! I'm super glad you found this story inspiring. We try to find great stories to bring you on Dream Machines. Enjoy modding your car. There is quite a strong 3G community out there if the viewership and activity of this video is any indication. Thanks so much for watching and we hope you'll check out the rest of the content on Dream Machines.
Hey Joseph Andreuccetti! Thanks for watching the video. It's funny you mention the AWD. Rob's next mod at the time of this filming was to do a AWD swap. He even had the EVO drive train in his garage sitting next to the car. Unfortunately as many projects go Rob never got to the AWD swap. Around the time this video originally posted, Rob sold his high school dream machine. Sometimes married life changes things. He ended up replacing it with a BMW Z8 which his wife loves. As they say Happy wife, happy life :) Thanks again for checking out the video and be sure to take a look at the other videos on the channel.
He should have been playing gran turismo instead of need for speed ;) Just got an '03 manual 3.0 in that exact same color. Can't wait to mod it. EDIT: omg this is like a 3rd gen Eclipse's owners forum :p
Thanks for watching Ghost. Glad you found the video inspiring. That was my goal when starting the Dream Machines Video Series channel. Rob is a good friend and I thought his story was too good not to share.
This is way too relatable I’m a junior rn and I want to buy one of these and I’ve been playing games all my life about cars and I also live in Wisconsin 😂
Hey LIGER! Thank you for checking out the video. It's awesome to hear this is such a relatable story. When I filmed this video with Rob I really had no idea what a huge following these cars had. It's awesome to see so many people enjoying and relating to Rob's story. I'm in WI as well. I started this channel to tell inspiring stories that come from the heartland. We may have to put our toys into hibernation for 5 months, but there is some great car culture here.
So I havs a 4gen eclipse spyder 07 and care had been in the family for 4 years and I was made owner of it for my 17th birthday and all I gotta say i love the car. It is the gs but haha is the 69 so it gots potential. Its handles well around the corners and when the mivec hits its a nice feeling. I love the car and hope to mod it soon. It will take time but patience will pay off
I'm here in Milwaukee and I just bought my first car, a 2003 v6 gts, and I'm trying to learn more about cars in general from this car alone. Honestly, a great inspiration, knowing someone close is achieving a future goal of mine. If there are things or tips I can do to work on my car, I would appreciate contacting you. :)
Hi Josh! My name is Don and I produced this video. It's a part of a series of videos. I will try to get in touch with the owner of the car and see if he can respond or send you a DM. I appreciate you enjoying the video and thank you for your comment.
Explosive Gamer bro honest I work at Jdm in signal hill California. We have e two of them. Those motors can be made to make some serious power bro. Oh yeah I got mines. By the way🙅🙆🙏
Explosive Gamer I think it's because they automatically think of the V6 ones.. had a guy I know that I was talking to and I brought up a 3G Eclipse.. first thing he brings up is the V6 models which almost shocks me since that's the worst ones to buy.. I think this is VERY overlooked
I had a 2001 Stratus R/T with the 3.0 and 5spd. Bought it new and sold it in 2008, really miss that car and the 2 door twin of the Eclipse seem to be unobtanium now to find one in good or better condition
however i have an 03 GS with I/H/E stage 2 clutch and lightweight flywheel and simple weight reduction, even with those few mods, it absolutely woke my car up. also i'm boosting my GS soon, maybe you can help me out.
The owner Rob sometimes checks this channel and responds to comments. I'll be sure to pass on your question to him. Thanks for watching our channel and be sure to subscribe as we do plan to upload some new content in the future.
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING VIDEO. i remember when the channel was called 03 eclipse and had like 5 videos. i loved your car because it reminded me of my 2.4L eclipse NA that i loved so dearly (and raced on drag strip as well as circuit) if you look at my channel, their is a video of my NA eclipse with good suspension and tires beating a VR4 3000GT at a 1/3 mile circuit race! my best time with my NA was a 16.79 with falken azenis RT615K+'s. my favorite tire! get back to me asdap :) would love to hear more about your baby. carlito
i'm 7 months late but i'm saving up all of my money and hopefully in a year i'll be able to get this www.turbokits.com/Mitsubishi/Eclipse/Turbo_Kits/TSI_Extreme_Turbo_Kit/387/
i would love to pick robs brain i have a similar story to this would like to know where he got all the parts i have an 05 eclipse gs and would like to know about what parts he used so on and so forth
2nd car added to the list lol, considering this along with the Toyota Celica, also planning on getting some sort of sports car in my junior year too lol hopefully in a budget in like $3k-$7k so might take a whole year to save up but man it'll be worth it. So probably Senior year but meh I already have a 2005 Rav4 S to be happy with for now. ;)
P.S. What got me thinking about the Eclipse is seein a Orange 3rd gen driving past me on the way to the Florida Gators game tonight since my favorite colors are Orange and blue lmao. Unfortunatly we lost but we all have our wins and losses ;)
My brother in law is giving me his 02 eclipse gt Spyder 3g v6 and it’s an auto... kinda sad but I love the car... I might turbo charge it someday and manual swap it... if I get enough money I might awd swap it too...

I have a 2002 eclipse rs with the 5 speed manual and it has high profile or whatever it's called racing pistons and valves with an open exhaust system, I've hit 150 mph street racing but that was a couple years ago I'm more into rally tracks
Same my dream car was my dad's alpine white e36 and he said if I got my license he would let me drive it... Sometime later I traded him my truck for the car. As of 3 days the car has been sold😭 it will always be apart of my heart
I just picked up a 3g eclipse but, its a gt. Im going to turbo it but from what i understand since the well is so small and its a 90° rotated motor the pipes are super tight and have to be almost custom made. At least thats what ive discovered so far.
I have a 2005 Eclipse Spyder. 5 speed, straight piped. If the definition of "chick car" is "all the girls turn and look at me as i drive by" the, yeah it is. LOL Enjoy it my friend.
How do I go about getting my eclipse featured? We ran a 12.0 last Friday and we are continually climbing! Next time at the track we'll be in the low 11/high 10s
I have the 03 eclipse with the V6 in it little more power than the 4-banger and just as fun to drive. Currently having to replace the entire clutch system. Have no clue what I'm doing wish me luck.
I don't have any recommendations of where to get them. I got mine through a friend who owned his own car parts business at the time, which is no longer in business sadly
Nice to see the 3G getting some love and respect.
Your story is an inspiration even to me a 3G owner who's is a sophomore in high school
literally never see a girl in these lol.
I always do....
Ive only seen one and it was in the SUV Crossover ;)
I have seen "chicks" go for the convertible Eclipse though, but isn't that true for most comfortables
Bought mine from a girl 🤔. She ended up clipping my fender a few months later in a coincidental crash. 😵
I've got one its a 04 Mitsubishi eclipse spyder gs convertible 😋
My V6 turbocharged '01 Eclipse hits only a 13.508 on average. I am inspired by your Eclipse!
No you do not have a 6-cylinder Eclipse turbocharged that only runs Thirteen's lmao my stock blog GTS did Thirteen's with full bolt ons in a ported intake manifold lol either you're lying out your ass or you have the worst built 3G ever
I'd love to see a video of your N/A Eclipse running 13s with the stock 6G72 :)
mitsumike 6g72 what is full bolt ons pls help and where do I get that
or cant drive
I want to make mine turbo but im scared to do it :(
I love how your eclipse looks, even with a stock body. I currently have the same color as yours and i want to eventually want to do the same things to my car, it's inspiring to see the same issues that i have grown up with. I really hope to see yours on the road someday! Thanks for making me less embarassed to have a stock eclipse and showing me that i could accomplish the same thing one day.

Hopefully I’ll get to drive mine Monday waiting for registration

My 03 Eclipse is getting worked on... all the spark plugs need overhauling and the engine's timing is off. I watch these videos to make myself feel better because I miss my car :(
actionCats me too my friend, me too! ;-;
I've got the v6 model as well just sitting at my house. Never thought about doing anything to it but now I'm starting to get the itch.
I am on my hustle road to obtain the eclipse after seeing videos like this, I really need it
Update I finally did it I obtained the fuckin Mitsubishi Eclipse!!!!!!
I just bought 2003 GT as my first car I love it .. always been a big fan of this cars
I have a GT eclipse, I am mechanically inclined now more than I have ever been with all the Honda’s I’ve owned thanks to my v6. Respects to you my man! You’re inspiring to keep on going!
Appreciate the comment and thank you for watching the channel!
Great video! I had a 96 Eagle Talon, 2004 Eclipse 4 cylinder, 2007 Eclipse GT. I miss those cars, wish they still built them.
Great video! I also noticed the 3G on the other side of the road at 9:10. I remember meeting Rob for the first time at a Club3g meet in Normal IL. Seeing his and Steve's booted 3G inspired me. Both of them already had everything in my wish list on Amazon. I still remember leaving Grady's and watching you and him race down veterans parkway leaving a dozen other 3Gs in the dust/Steve's oil cloud. This car brought me to Rob and a dozen other friends along the way. Some of witch even showed up to my wedding. I'm looking forward to his next build and seeing him again soon.
Love you Kevdawg!

I got the Mitsubishi eclipse spider 2003. It's the best car I've ever had 💯
I got the same car and I gave it to my lady for her first car. Title in hand and she loves it. Time to do some mods. I knew this car was a beast
This is awesome, now I know thorough trail an error, one day I can work on my car too, this has given me the confidence to try, I really appreciate this. thanks brother.

I put the Acura rims and spacers on mine. Looks just like yours.
I noticed you took the caps off. lol
My V6 is pretty cool even naturally aspirated it's nice and quick, like the look of it because you don't really have to do any major cosmetics to it, they look good as is.

How are you on the turbo build?
@@smittysmits7465 building an engine for it as we speak!
Starting my 03 gs 4g64 turbo build this summer, wanted something more unique. So exicited to see how it does!!!
I’m hopefully buying a 2003 gt tmro I want to turbo it
My first car was a 2000 eclipse gt, bought that in 2003 on a used car lot but sadly totaled in not even a year and a half later.

Ah nice! I'm hoping soon I can make the eclipse plan happen. I want to build one of these cars
lol you're like the first one in this comment thread who doesn't have one. I hope you made it happen!! Just got mine today.
I own an fbo, tuned & LSD'd 4G GT. Looking for a clean 3G GT-S to daily. Gorgeous cars that never got the respect they deserved

Tony Stark I do not get why everybody hates them.
Explosive Gamer bro honest I work at Jdm in signal hill California. We have e two of them. Those motors can be made to make some serious power bro. Oh yeah I got mines. By the way🙅🙆🙏

Jordan Price umm I have both. the v6 is not the worst to get. you must have never driven the v6 one
Awesome really.
Tengo un eclipse GT mismo año. Y mi sueño es hacer algo como tu!
I had a 2001 Stratus R/T with the 3.0 and 5spd. Bought it new and sold it in 2008, really miss that car and the 2 door twin of the Eclipse seem to be unobtanium now to find one in good or better condition

Very inspirational I like it
Thank you ThatGuy Mar! Be sure to check out the other videos on the channel. We're hoping to start producing more content again this year.
i always had a heart for these cars since a kid im gladly a proud owner of one
however i have an 03 GS with I/H/E stage 2 clutch and lightweight flywheel and simple weight reduction, even with those few mods, it absolutely woke my car up.
also i'm boosting my GS soon, maybe you can help me out.

It's so nice and the mods are perfect
Bud because you are definitely giving me some great ideas for my future Mitsubishi Eclipse 3d gen and ya I have plans on making it stupid fast
great video! i wonder if these numbers are possible for the v6 version
Both the I4 and the V6 are capable of roughly 300whp reliably on stock internals
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING VIDEO. i remember when the channel was called 03 eclipse and had like 5 videos. i loved your car because it reminded me of my 2.4L eclipse NA that i loved so dearly (and raced on drag strip as well as circuit) if you look at my channel, their is a video of my NA eclipse with good suspension and tires beating a VR4 3000GT at a 1/3 mile circuit race! my best time with my NA was a 16.79 with falken azenis RT615K+'s. my favorite tire! get back to me asdap :) would love to hear more about your baby.

Is there any hope of getting anything of substance out of the sohc 6g72 engine?
I’ll just get i4 and do a Evo swap that’ll be the easiest
03Eclipse you ever thought about selling it i would be really interested!!
Very nice!!
Love your car bud!
That's awesome! I have am 03 gt but they dont make turbo kits for it.
i'm 7 months late but i'm saving up all of my money and hopefully in a year i'll be able to get this www.turbokits.com/Mitsubishi/Eclipse/Turbo_Kits/TSI_Extreme_Turbo_Kit/387/
@@theslimsim5587 first time I see a turbo kit for this car. Thanks. I have a 03 gt
TheSlimSim totally saving up for mine
i would love to pick robs brain i have a similar story to this would like to know where he got all the parts i have an 05 eclipse gs and would like to know about what parts he used so on and so forth
Very good video
Love the car I have a 2000 eclipse gs
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoy the video. Be sure to subscribe as we have more cool stories to come.
My buddy Rob owns this car. He's had it for 15 years. It's one of the coolest 3G's I've seen and I'm more of a muscle car guy myself.
Definitely motivating bro I’m looking into dohc swap and turbo for my rs. Do you remember where you got your turbo parts?
If only I had the $$ to do something of this level! Very cool to see this!
Thank you for watching the video Jake! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
2nd car added to the list lol, considering this along with the Toyota Celica, also planning on getting some sort of sports car in my junior year too lol hopefully in a budget in like $3k-$7k so might take a whole year to save up but man it'll be worth it. So probably Senior year but meh I already have a 2005 Rav4 S to be happy with for now. ;)
P.S. What got me thinking about the Eclipse is seein a Orange 3rd gen driving past me on the way to the Florida Gators game tonight since my favorite colors are Orange and blue lmao. Unfortunatly we lost but we all have our wins and losses ;)
Still one of my fav cars I’ve ever owned and all I did was a CAI and exhaust lol
Nice VIDEO....
Good for you man, I respect it bro💪🏽
This might end up being my first car
I wanna put turbo in mine.
My brother in law is giving me his 02 eclipse gt Spyder 3g v6 and it’s an auto... kinda sad but I love the car... I might turbo charge it someday and manual swap it... if I get enough money I might awd swap it too...
im just seeing this video haha im late , another turbo 3g here 👌🏻
by the way im breaking your record sorry lol
@@ludpilo8876 Did you break it yet?! :)

@@ludpilo8876 I know how that goes 🤣🤣
you are my hero dude, I want to put a turbo on my 4g64, my goal is more or less 300 hp
I own a 03 currently installing a loud exhaust on it, looking to make it turbo but I don’t know if the engine would have problems!

You live in Wisconsin too? I just bought an 02 Eclipse that saved The Life I live and I am in Love. She is like my Lyme Disease Doctor's daughter.
I have a 2002 eclipse rs with the 5 speed manual and it has high profile or whatever it's called racing pistons and valves with an open exhaust system, I've hit 150 mph street racing but that was a couple years ago I'm more into rally tracks
Love this video man awesome job!!
Same my dream car was my dad's alpine white e36 and he said if I got my license he would let me drive it... Sometime later I traded him my truck for the car. As of 3 days the car has been sold😭 it will always be apart of my heart
I just picked up a 3g eclipse but, its a gt. Im going to turbo it but from what i understand since the well is so small and its a 90° rotated motor the pipes are super tight and have to be almost custom made. At least thats what ive discovered so far.
Bro omg I’m a junior and I got my first 01 Mitsubishi Eclipse
I have a 2005 Eclipse Spyder. 5 speed, straight piped. If the definition of "chick car" is "all the girls turn and look at me as i drive by" the, yeah it is. LOL Enjoy it my friend.
Here 700 subscribers thank for making me have some inspiration for my 3g
Thank you sunshine the star switcher! Really appreciate it.
How do I go about getting my eclipse featured? We ran a 12.0 last Friday and we are continually climbing! Next time at the track we'll be in the low 11/high 10s
I have the 03 eclipse with the V6 in it little more power than the 4-banger and just as fun to drive. Currently having to replace the entire clutch system. Have no clue what I'm doing wish me luck.
Yo this is my story I’m a junior that just bought a eclipse 😂
Put a big fat Turbo on it and break some records Thekiddxrick!
hey guys I love this video. is there any way to get in touch with him .
He has his own channel called 03Eclipse. You can try to PM him there.
Or you could try tagging 03Eclipse in your comment.
I miss my 2G GS-T Spyder and my 3G 2.5
I own a 3G ‘01 Eclipse, and I wish I could do this
My dream car, if you got the engine modded, but now you GOT TO GET EXTERIOR MODS!!!🙂
Easy
Funny how 2 cars I'm crushing on end up in the same video.
What brand headlights do you have on your 3g? And where you got em?
Headlights are the Sonar projectors. They have one CFL halo ring that I never hooked up. I also replaced the bulbs with 6000K xenon HIDs
Do you have a recommended to site to get them?.. if i was to get those lights i wouldnt connect the halos either
I don't have any recommendations of where to get them. I got mine through a friend who owned his own car parts business at the time, which is no longer in business sadly
I am going to buy a 01 3g gt soon. Imma make it be cool and do similar mods under the hood.
I am coming for you record… mark my words
Just picked one up
Where did you get the work done on your car? I just bought a 3G and was just curious. I’m out in Kenosha
Its a Cool-hatch-back with sports car heritage
Do you have like a list of the setup you have put into the Eclipse? I have an Eclipse of my own that I want to work on
