Clearly from the thumbnail it's an eclipse
There’s literally no way to tell
Captain Obvious is here to save the day! 😏
Thanks for letting me know! could have never guessed
Naw man it’s obviously a s14 zenkie
Is that a Supra !!!
“Our audience is a bunch of morons” I love this CZcams channel.
And I feel morons too. I just want that car but reality bites me.
If those kids could read, they'd be very upset
feel honored to take that compliment
Statistically he's probably not wrong
Never do a YT vote polls ☝😂
Ben Thorn series are like a Ghibli Hero's Journey
Ben Lin series are like Dante's Inferno

This car is a prime candidate for Mark learning how to clean up the rust, weld in new panels, and start learning to paint; video content gold. I enjoy seeing y'all poke and prod into other people's builds and then go about it the right way; can't wait for more of this content.
I cant wait to find out what other nightmares hide behind the body panels. Next challenge: Make the DSM a reliable daily
Thats easy. Rebuild it from the ground up with a proper budget.
They are unreliable because $20 and a trip to home depot would net you 50hp. Then you could boost around until you found a bigger turbo for $300 and slapped it on.
Make sure you set the boost to 21psi on the new turbo since thats what you were running on the stock one. Then when your maxing out the injectors and overunning the stock BOV (if you haven't switched to a crushed metal BOV) it blows up.
Not sure why it died it was only 300hp or so
Imagine selling a car to Ben then getting roasted for an entire build series 😂
Tbf tho, the seller burned Ben by not disclosing just how much rust and body rot there is
@@elliotness981true bet Ben bought this at night after scanning it with his phone light. Bro should've taken the monetary L and just bit the bullet and buy a decent example GSX. Still gonna watch tho ❤
Id definitely name and shame this level of nondisclosure
I wonder if he bought it in person or if they're too recognizable in the US and have someone "off-camera" buy it for them.
@@RealBearFacerough cars are better content
So I can tell you from experience being a part of the DSM community your gonna see why this car is so underrated. The 4G63 is a great motor which can handle a lot of abuse, and yes DSM are temperamental and that’s due to being beat and abused over time like this poor car has, but luckily it’s on the right hands and being able to make 350whp on the janky set up it’s on its very impressive. With some love and a stand-alone ECU and some E85 you’ll make fast and easy power, and the big plus is that it’s AWD even if the swap is dog shit, it’s gonna hell you big time. I’m super excited to see this girl come to live and rip down the streets. Just be patient w the car and get to know its character, welcome to the DSM community!
this comment aged like fine wine lol. did you see the roadtrip yet? haha
@@onecleangtiI wouldn't say that was the fault of the platform. For me It should be counted as a poor job of the previous owner for sure. A shame actually, some nice parts were up there, if you know what I mean.
I miss my 98 tsi awd so much
I once flew all the way to Rhode Island to buy a GST. In 45 seconds of inspecting it I was pushing holes into the frame rails with my thumb.
I flew home lol.
God bless DSMers
As a former DSM owner I can't wait for more episodes on this horrorshow.
As a former DSM owner I am super excited to watch this build!
Me too!!!!
As a former DSM owner get that credit card ready.
Did it rust away?
Same. I still miss mine 😅
I had a evo3 16g powered 1g and eventually built a holdet hx35 powered 2g. Those were the days.
Over the years, I go to Gears and Gasoline when I'm itching for high quality car videos and find myself even more surprised by how great the production value is and how knowledgeable these guys are.
As a moron who bought a rusted and clapped out impreza coupe, I completely understand the pain and frustration. A good body shop that’s willing to help will save a lot of heartache!
Love all the videos guys! Now we need a New York to California series with the RX-8 and GST
NEW BEN LIN BUILD SERIES WE GOING BANKRUPT WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️💨💨💨
Just on the rust in the interior honestly
Love me an Eclipse ! Sad to see it in such a rotten state, though... I know it's a lot of work and money, but I really hope you try and save this car. Can"t wait for the next episode.
Unfortunately that's how most of them are now, unless you're willing to drop a ton of money on an increasingly rare example. It's a shame, because I'd love to pick up another 1G.
Eclipse GST. A unicorn for sure. I would love to see this saved.
Me too, it looks like a very interesting project, and I hope we get a saved Eclipse in the end
@@avidworkslolI have a bone stock clean 1g gsx in red
The dyno tuning made me excited for this car, it has great potential.
Im excited to see what happens when the car gets a proper 3" exhaust and some more work, since its on dsmlink v3 and it obviously isnt using a MAF that means the MAF signal is free to use for a ethanol sensor, means getting the car onto E85 wouldnt be hard as its now got giant injectors and a solid fuel pump.
TLDR a 3" exhaust and some e85 would let this car easily pickup alot of power very easily IMO
This is a good build, a little of the basics of how to make an older/someone’s else’s project work. Even though the body is bad, he definitely got his money’s worth on a built engine that didn’t pop at 33 psi. 6500 for a 33 psi 4g63....
Not gonna lie, I do like high horse power builds, but I can check out other channels on yt for that. I love what you guys are doing with the racing and build series, but ultimately, I really love your camera work and editing style. Keep up your editing team, and I will watch whatever car builds you enjoy doing! Thank you for your great content!
this is a prime example of why its important to have a good start, so much time and money will be spent to try and fix the fuckery of the previous owner. i have a fb rx7 (82) with a 12a in it and i am in the middle of doing the same thing.
Can't wait to see the rust repair though
I’m gonna take a guess that they’re gonna part it out and put the engine in another eclipse or evo
@@NuclearPineapple or they might put it in something random we don't know
I’m 2017 before the gsx raised in value I took my cousin to go look at a 98 gsx. It had a beautiful paint job and ran pretty good and and appeared fairly visible. It had a questionable strut tower repair. But looking under the car you were greeted with appeared to be a fresh black undercoating. Well we bought the car for 5k and needed to jack it up. The frame rail disintegrated. We realized the entire underbody was covered and behind repair. Eventually the rear control arm mounting point on the body disintegrated. The car was mechanically totaled. Now it’s my donor for my gst.
Ayyyyeeee welcome to car rebuilding/restoration! Get it stopping, get it running, make your structural mods, then strip it down and fix all rust. Then build the car using new bushings, seals, and consumables where possible. Then you get to spend the next year chasing down gremlins... it's fun!
I just want to say, I love watching Mark do his thing on this channel. Awesome addition to the team. And maybe your videographers should do another day trip video
Mark's deadpan energy is 11/10
We are definitely getting another roadtrip!!!
I've always liked this generation Eclipse ever since it came out. I hope your goal is to turn this into a nice example. Looks like a skill builder project.
I’m here for the rust and the “I build it myself“ charm
22:58 would be the perfect spot to impose "danger to manifold" on the lap top. 😂😂 The floor's already gone, so you don't even have to worry about that falling out too
I don't care about high hosepower, i like you guys fixen up and improving cars.. and then race or roadtrip them!
Thats awesome its a GST-X, ive got alot of respect for the guys who go through with that conversion, youre basically taking the entire rear from a GSX and installing it onto a GST.
Just wanted to tell you how good your content is made: I had a really bad mood, was really down. But your style, editing and overall art of content picked me right back up and made me feel better. Your channel is CZcams gold! And I’m very thankful for all your work ❤
“Which spring do you want to use for the turbo?”
“Yes” 😂
Lol, exactly
hehe
This reminds me so much of buying a mk1 gti at night and found so much rust that I had no other choice to part it out… the I discovered my salvage business 😂
7:08 really got to me.. I can really relate with their problem here. an everyday requirement of mine has finally been mentioned here for which i am really very thankful. big W to gears and gasoline...
im so glad youre saving one of these. a 2g eclipse GSX is my dream street racer build. i really love these cars, ever since i was a kid.
As a former GsT owner and a actual Rx8 owner very happy and excited to see outcome of this series! 💪🏾🔥
When he said, "We're going to need lots of _hose_ ," my mind playfully interpreted it as "lots of _hoes_ ," and I giggled.
Then he actually wrote, "Hoes." 😅
He knows his audience: a bunch of morons.
I was looking for this comment lol
Honestly I love how diverse the content is on G&G,keep up the good work! And buy cali cars,no rust!
Love this series of builds (RX8 and Eclipse). Its going to be interesting to see how far you guys go with these two cars. Hopefully they both get brought back to life, and saved.
You guys are making the best car content on the internet. I love that you don’t chase insane hp numbers, you chase lap times! I’m definitely more of an American car guy but I love what you guys are doing
come to think of it, they should do a proper American muscle build, and that camero did not count :)
Awesome to see an RX8 and an Eclipse. And FD3S ….Love this channel.
Been around those cars my whole adult life.
Great series!! I can’t wait! This car is definitely in the same realm with the rx8 on cars that could have been but weren’t and now you guys are making them into the potential that have
Can't wait for more Eclipse content! I really hope you stick with this car, and give it a makeover. It will be so much fun to watch! #NextEpisodeCantComeSoonEnough!
i LOVE the Rx8 ... by far my favorite cheap sport car and the best part 90% of the ppl who bought those didnt know how to maintain them so now they re almost free ...
It’s really amazing how much you guys listen to your fans. Y’all are the best
17:25 - "That's awesome! I love working on this car!" - Ben, I felt that so much. I think all of us have been here.
Really enjoyed this video, espoecially the tuning part! Was great to watch you guys slowly iron out all the kinks with the engine.
Could have went dodge stealth and chased electrical gremlins till the end of time I guess. I love it and yet very sad that rolling dumpster fire cost 6500
Instantly my most anticipated build on the channel! I think the potential of these cars is tremendous.
Good luck!
This is one of, if not, my dream car. Its really sad to know most of them are rusty like that. Still, someday I hope I will be able to build one. Nardo gray. Carbon fiber hood. Bout 300 HP. Some cool wheels and thats it. I dont need much more than that. Street built.
Looking forward to the next vid! ❤️
Drove a ‘95 eagle talon ESI and eventually got a ‘97 talon TSI AWD. That was the first time I had held a crank in my hands and then drove that same engine after rebuilding it. Needless to say I’m very fond of these money pits. (My mom also has an rx8 that I grew up driving when she let me lol)
This is such a bad decision and I love it
Excited to see the next episode!
Love to see vids like this, car repair and parts. Super dope. Also love the grassroots track day and time attack stuff, great for entry level racers like myself who are far behind from you guys.
Awesome content
Love it! Keep it coming!
I'm excited for this build. I know there is a lot of rust which is unfortunate, but I know what you guys are capable of building and I can't wait to see what you do with this one.
Dude I'm so hyped for this! I've wanted one since I was a kid!
I like these DSM's. Looking forward to how much you can improve the car.
I’m so glad you guys did this video! Irony that in the beginning of December just got a GSX! Can’t wait to see the out coming to get ideas!
Ahh love watching you guys learn the hardships of a DSM. Hope you get the rewards too.
You comped the injectors wrong initially but you made it right hiring my boy Kenny from Blacksheep to tune it!
Hard to beat a 7-800whp DSM!
Ayyee turn up
I really enjoyed this episode and I reallly enjoyed Ken.. super awesome guy. ❤
Love this! I want to see more eclips videos 😍
Hell ya! Pumped to see this build, always loved 2G DSMs
Im an eclipse owner and im starting to love my eclipse more because of this video 😂
Okay, I'm stoked for this build and I knew that exhaust was going to be a problem 😂
I love these model car, best looking Mitsu out there, looking forward for more episodes of this build, hopefully you guy put some heart into it, I know is a lot to ask due to the conditions it is in, but is like polish a rough Dimond, it will come out very nice.
Just subscribed really am looking forward to seeing what you do with this car
I respect the diversity of your projects, the research education and fun you gents put forward. Horsepower isn’t everything for me. Thank you very much
I like how Mark said he is a "Mitsubishi guy" and asked if the smashed framed rails are a Mitsubishi thing. 😅
Thats how you know hes always had too much money for a DSM😂
@@BrokeWrench he doesn't even know what DSM is.
I love the refining of the cars cause of all the elements of info and learning that i didn't know before
Another awesome video. Keep it up guys. You’re kicking ass.
I love this alongside the RX8 restoration/build. Maybe I just romanticize cars more than most, but I love "saving" a car and making it as great as it can be
you might immediately regret it but i dont! looking forward to more content!!
very excited about this build. I had so many DSMs when I was young.
Yeah I have 3 eclipses and the trunk, the rockers, strut towers and where the seat bolts too all were rusty and had to be repaired luckily I weld so it was all done properly.
WE MAKING IT OUT THE UNDERGROUND WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️💯💯💯💯
Cringe
This is definitely my new favourite/top CZcams build. I really hope the rust issue can be solved (economically) and this car saved.
High horsepower builds are fun and all but there is an opportunity here (like most of the G&G builds) to save this iconic car. Best of luck to you.
Also, we gotta go back to 2 videos a week please 🙏
Very nice to see a RX8 and a eclipse being revived together on te channel…cannot wait for the rest of the build series🙏🏻
Love the racing builds and the track days. Keep up the great videos ! 🤘
I’m more excited about this than the RX8. I just couldn’t ever love the RX8, the 1st and 2nd gen DSMs though, always loved the looks I’ve just never had the patience or budget to own one 😂. Looking forward to this!
Mark is funny asf and very entertaining, same to both Ben’s of course
Great first part, can't wait to see how the rust is addressed.
This gen Eclipse GST is what got me into cars. My dad had one when I was a kid, and it was fun to ride in. Eventually gave it to family then got an 02 WRX Impreza but really the Eclipse is what got me into cars
I think you should swap it with a K series.
The 4g63 is better than a K series lol
stop with the dam K swaps lmao
@@yanmustandit is not, but K swaps are boring by now
@@questionabletaste2700 I don't know if your talking of internet points or experience but i can tell you a 4g63T can last a lot longer at 450whp stock long block vs a K series I've seen countless blow up while my Talon has been solid, (it's still a DSM though so everything else is unreliable lol)
They don't have the knowledge to do that , give them time
Really happy to see the cars that were bought! I picked rx8 myself, and im so glad to see it on the channel! Cant wait to see what happens with the eclipse
I’m very excited for both of these builds! I love RX8 and DSM! 😍
I’ve always loved this gen Eclipse. Can’t wait to see what y’all do to it!
BEST new car choices. Thank you both for being INTERESTING.
I absolutely love these cars, can't wait to see what you do with this one!
Man this is a dream build for me. I had 2 talson tsi awds and a gst. Had to sell them for college courses. Miss them so much. Hopefully one day i can build one again. Cant wait to follow this series.
Heck yeah! Love this GST-X content! So good! I used to own one and loved it!
Alright!!! Excited for this series!!!!!
im really stoked for this build. always wanted one of these cars
definitely a cool pickup, bummer about the rust. lots of work for sure. great contender for the rx8 👍👍
Love to see you guys picking up my dream car and yes ( it’s horrible I know but it is what it is). I couldn’t believe you picked this up and I was so excited like a little kid when I seen the cover. I hope to see more
Excellent content, keep it coming.
I'm actually really pumped for this series, gonna be sweet.
I did a conversion like this before. The rails are weak, and you have to use a 2 by 4 to jack it up. A gsx 3 inch exhaust is expensive and hard to find in stock. I used the gst exhaust which was cheap ebay thing and moved a bend in the dp to clear the transfer, also fabbed the axle back to be straight.
I absolutely love this!
I'm a sucker for DSMs!!
I want that car now😭😭😭😭 in my eyes
It's the most beautiful thing ever!!!
They look so good! This will be fun!
Can't wait for this build 🙌
I’m so excited for this build!!
Cars are interesting if they have under 300 hp and can do high lateral g. Track and autocross people understand. 😊
