Here! :D

Truth is these cars are 20+ years old be prepared to replace parts. I don’t wanna sound cocky but I found out the hard way and decided to fully build my engine replacing every single seal and pully.
You forgot the most important part!
Make sure to buy a 30$ compression tester!
It literally takes 10 minutes to check the health of the car!
This will really determine the health and negotiating of the price!
4g63T models should be at 176psi on all 4 cylinders! Obviously it should be close to those numbers and no more than 15 psi a part from each other.
Pretty much anything that's over 150 psi and very close to all 4 cylinders then ur good
@2:45 I've been daily driving my 97 GST for the past 4 years. Everything he says here is about how they throw a fit ect is true because I've dealt with it many times when something is wrong. Just for anyone looking into the turbo models, my best suggestion is to do monthly inspections yourself. If something is wrong, park it and leave it until it is fixed. From my experiences, one thing goes, 3 other things get effected and then boom those 3 things dwindle under the pressure. Here's a list of things to check/replace while buying or owning a GST or GSX.
1. Compression tests are a God send. Use them and you will know the immediate health of the engine.
2. Rust is a common issues with these cars especially outside of CA. My GST wasn't even safe and the original owner bought it in CA. People check certain common locations for rust, I'd suggest checking the WHOLE car.
3. Do ALL radiator hoses and vacuum lines to save yourself early head aches.
4. Check for any obvious leaks. I've noticed that a lot of people tend to forget about valve stem seals and valve cover gaskets on all cars. Coolant leaks seem to come from the heater core in these cars, because they are an absolute bish to replace. The heater core itself makes you take apart the dash just to get to it and the hoses are a pain to replace because people usually don't replace them when the the heater core fails due to age. Mine did so I have bypassed the heater core every since.
5. While driving make note of the oil dipstick level and check it again after driving to ensure you didn't lose any. This goes back to #4 with the valve stem seals or it could sometimes be the turbo burning your oil.
6. The 2nd gens suffer a crank walk risk. A lot of people have disabled the neutral safety to lower the risk by a lot. If the car you end up buying doesn't have this done to it that should be your first step.
7. Schedule maintenance is REQUIRED. Say it with me now, I WILL FIX EVERYTHING FIRST BEFORE I ADD POWER.
Hope those tips helped! I'm the 3rd owner of my current GST and she's happily purring at 197k on the original engine and transmission. The original two owners brought her back to life after sitting in a garage for 6 years. I intend to keep her running especially since I've dumped 3x her worth in parts. I do all the work myself and it's something I suggest you should do as well. If you have to take one of these cars to a mechanic, make sure it's someone you trust with your LIFE. Otherwise, you will have a very sad car. These cars act like small children when something is wrong and will throw a temper tantrum. PLEASE DO MAINTENCE REGULARLY. I hate seeing these at the graveyard...but then again, ya boi needs to keep his running so :P
I remember when I wanted a GSX model so much back in the day ! Was always my car of choice in NFS games.
Nfs: underground?👍🙂
Joshua Delos Reyes oh yes ! Classic 🔥
I just recently developed a liking for these cars. I always seen clapped out shitty ones with god awful mods. But when they are nice and done nice I really appreciate them.
Most wanted 2005 OG👀I h go it it for Xbox 360 bouta play right now haha
I have the eclipse evo and the cobalt right now already beat this game 11+ times haha just like to play it over and over
Eclipses are so damn cheap people are going to regret not buying them. Damn near better looking than rhd supras
Not cheap anymore 😢
Hard to find ones in good condition, even if you buy a good one it is still a vintage car, not meant for speed or anything crazy, just an old good looking car. Not a lot of space for many modifications either. Def. A beautiful car but thats really it.
Just a tip, be aware of the massive amount of vacuum lines in the GST and GSX models. From fuel pressure regulators to EGR valves, there's a lot of them, and a lot of people will do vacuum line deletes incorrectly.
Another tip to those who are new and want to start adding bolt ons....
NUMBER ONE MOD TO DO FIRST
*INVEST INTO THE ECU*
ECMTUNING, also known as ecmlink/dsmlink.
Purchase this first, and then bolt ons, mods,etc.
@@Ryan_1997 what is emc tuning?
ECM
If you have any other tips for future dsm owners, make sure you comment down below for people to see! Have a great day guys 🤘🏼
Miguel Dsm DONT DO IT 🤣
Miguel Dsm run while you can guys LOL
Buy a GSX right away, do not bother with FWD versions.
Do OEM maintenance before mods
I need dashboard for my 3g eclipse plz help
I came here since my neighbor has an eclipses they barely use. I hope to buy it when I'm 18
That’s how I bought my motorcycle! Hope it all plays out for you
my neighbor also has one but i’m not sure what model bc it’s debadged and idk much ab it. he has cosmetic mods but idk ab any performance mods. it’s been sitting for so long, never touched and i am 16 and i want to get it bc it looks nice but he does not even touch it so i’m pretty sure it’s unreliable and idk if it’s worth getting
You posted this just three days before I got mine. Your videos swayed me to purchase my 1995 GS, and one year later I don't regret that decision!
I m looking forward to buy the exact same car when I turn 18 would you recommend it for a first car?Also can u tell me what you like and don't like at the car.Thanks
I recently got my eclipse a few days ago for 2,500$ and it’s amazing 🥰
ECLIPSE NATION!! 🙌🏼. Love you channel Bro. Always providing great content. I don’t have a DSM but I do have a 4th GEN MODEL. Modifying the hell out of it! Keep coming w/ them BANGERZ!!!
This eclipse is one of the cars I want to have as a project car as I get my mechanical knowledge and skills up!
Super solid video and extremely informative...much appreciated! Thank you for your commitment to this community.
Man I love Dsm's! I owned the 2-1gs awd 4 bolt rear end and a 95 gst 2g fwd with a 1g engine. First cars I really learned how to modify n work on. Loved every bit of owning those cars. Way to go man awesome channel. Not to many left out there that people still rep 🤙🏾 I hate I got rid of those. Should've kept my 1g it was a gem. Did all the bolt ons and the 20g upgrade back n 98 high school days 😁👍🏾
This was such a great video! So informative for this car I definitely learned a lot from this. I be will recommending this video for anyone into this car!
I never thought of getting one of these but this is a great videos for people actually looking for a gsm 👌🏼
Good tips bro! I don’t think there’s a video out right now explaining these things
You got it 🤙🏼
Just brought a 01 GS model back to life. Replaced radiator plugs coils cleaned iac valve throttle body and intake. Change all engine/ trans mounts new headlights and mirrors. Running pretty good compared to how bad it was when I got it. Paid 450 bucks
I had a 1994 Eagle Talon DL 1.8 manual , bought in 1995 with only 20,000 miles. Ran the shit out of it for 9 years. Loved it,. Only had replace the alternator. Replaced the timing belt after 100,000 for precautions. Ran great.
I've always loved your work. Im glad that you're sheding light on the evo swap in the states. Its been pretty popular in parts of asia for while. Its a damn shame however that the price of evfo 4g63s have skyrocketed though. I do think you downplay the 420a a little bit. A build top end and a solid clutch can give you some solid numbers and over 300 to the wheels safely enough.
I'm on my 3rd Eclipse. I've owned a '90, a '98 and my latest one is an '07. I'm a musician and the Eclipse is the only coupe with enough cargo room for all my gear. The '98 was indeed very leaky! The '07 is holding up pretty good so far.
My GS gave me a headache compared to my GST which hasn’t let me down after almost 6/7 years of owning 🥰
My GS has only broke down once in a yr or so thankfully lol
I hated my gst 😂
that tip about 3rd gear with clutch slippage was actually a goated tip that's goin in the mind vault!
Lol "chexk your gas gauge to make sure it isnt over heating."
Its all love. I enjoyed the video.
Broooo this was so helpful i’m buying my first gsx tomorrow as a project build
Which one did you get? I wanted a gsx back in the day but got a 350z instead
I still like the eclipses though
Found your build today. This is an awesome car.
Hey, I have been following you for quite some time on Instagram and found you on here. I really have to say that you guys have one of the best looking Eclipse I have ever seen. I wish these cars where more comon in germany and wouldn´t sell for these huge prices here. It is my dream car and soon enough I will drive one, keep it up and stay healthy!
Ahh another crazy person with a quirky eclipse as a dream car. Of all the cars in the world, my dream car somehow ended up being a 2g eclipse gsx. Hopefully I have the opportunity to get one someday.
thx for the vid, I know this has been posted 2 years ago but im buying an Eagle Talon TSI FWD this weekend and this helps a ton
watching this from Australia, with an iced cream tub full of tears.
Damn dude sick video your car looks so amazing I love those wheels and keep the videos coming please your awesome
I'm in the process of obtaining a non running 95 GS coupe. Been looking at it on Facebook marketplace for a while, and finally decided to inquire about it.
Good video man handy to know these things helps when looking at one or any car even good tips
In 1995 I got my first car a 90 GSX. It was easy to make quicker and when I traded it for my dads 95 mustang GT a couple years later he proceeded to upgrade it even more than I had previously done. After doing bolt ons to my 5.0 we raced several times and he destroyed me which was expected.
I went with the third gen eclipses. I've owned a gs, gt and gts. All ended up being reliable as hell with minimal problems
I had to come back to this video, they are going up in value 🙌
I know right? I was wanting to get one as a first car but it doesn't seem like a good idea considering I need something reliable. Still my dream car. Hopefully they don't continue going up in price so maybe one day I can get one.
One of my dream cars fr I’m barely getting into cars and I’m starting to fall in love with this car I really like how it looks. Wish I had the knowledge needed to own and work on one of these but by the time I do there might not be any decent ones left tbh.
I have my eclipse for almost a year, 1999 GS model. Hoping you could help me go from a FWD to a RWD conversion in a video. Love your channel Miguel keep it up!
buying my mitsubishi eclipse D30 beginning of 2021 (january) suuuuuper hyped :D
Mmm idk about you stating 420a being more reliable then a 4g63 on the eclipse. After 11 years of daily driver and beating on the road course and now swapped into a fwd 4g has been reliable. Just do maintenance before mods I’ve always used oem mitsu parts. Great build none the less but just wanted to state that from a dsm owner whose owned 10 gsx/ tsi awd, 2 gst’s and two evo ix’s in the past.
Thanks for the information I learned a couple things
For the 420a people. Stopped or right turn is 1st gear, left turn or city streets is 2nd gear, and 3rd is for getting on the freeway. Fourth is for passing on freeway and Fifth is for cruising at 80. I’ve had a 97 RS for 19 yrs and 200k miles. It’s at 275k now. My commute is through the Cajon pass trying to do 80mph and I get over 30 mpg. The out of the ordinary problems are:
Evap leak caused by emergency roll over valve on top of gas tank. Cover hose barb with epoxy to seal.
Trans is weak. Early 2000’s neon magnum have HD trans. (5 speed)
Had engine rebuilt at 175k. Change radiator and exhaust manifold too. Recently the Cracked exhaust manifold destroyed my $350 catalytic converter. After a new cat I blew my intake manifold seal. Now I’m watching eclipse videos on CZcams because it’s been reawakened. The only thing I didn’t do myself was rebuild the engine. If you don’t have as much fun under the car as you do in the drivers seat it might not be for you. But if you do, get an obd2 scanner with live data stream and a copy of the oem service manual. $17 on eBay. I’m hearing things about the head gasket leaking oil onto the back of the engine also. I saw the sludge. I think it’s real.
Sold my 97 GSX in 2009 to get an Evo. This video makes me want to get another GSX.
Just bought myself an unmolested one(gsx). Third eclipse, love these little guys.
You're lucky you could even find a GSX, let alone one that hasn't been modded. Congrats!
Great video bro!
1995 eagle talon my dad gave it to me and I love it
I had a 1994 Talon DL, ran shit out of it for 9 years...loved it
Thanks for this informative video man!
I’m gonna be real I bought a gst without knowing what I got myself into and Im starting to go bald
😪 is it giving you problems? I am actually considering buying one for myself
DSM Drive / Mechanic cmon son :P
Yeah they are not reliable at all
Can’t wait to pick up my gst. my brother bought a gsx and I fell in love with it instantly😍
Open a separate savings account
"For parts" 😅
I had a GSX and a Eagle Talon awd turbo had both at the same time had them over 10 years never had a problem with either one. They were the most fun cars I have owned. I am 71 years old and have had all kinds of hot cars. I now have a 1966 GTO old school but still love it.
Are they reliable? My dad had a 1995 gsx I always liked the car and now I’m looking for one as my daily it’ll be my first car
I had 1994 Talon DL, replaced the alternator. Replaced the timing belt for precautions. Ran the shit out of it for 9 years.
The one i had was a 97 gst, loved that car. My 3 years owning ot i was fighting cooling system issues and the power steering rack went out lol. Leaked fluid and eventually seized the pump. I drove with no power steering in that heavy ass car for years. The last nonth i owned i fixed everything. Then i would barely pass smog. I ended up selling it and buying an evo lol, but i loved that car so much. Hopefully the kid who bought it off me treated her right. Btw it had almost 200k before sold.
At least you got an evo!
@@MiguelDsm but, i want another eclipse lol despite all the issues i had hahaha
They’re nice to have if you have the time and space to keep one around until you sort out all it’s issues
A little over a month ago, I got a 94 Eclipse GS
This video makes me feel better now, I have owned my GST for 16 years now and it's been a constant fix it, race it, break it and repeat type of situation. tho every time I brake it, I just keep upgrading parts on it. so I started with a stock GST Spyder, now I have a Built, AWD GST-X Spyder lol
When buying a used car please bring a scan tool to check for any trouble codes. Also, check if the title of the car is branded as refurbished, salvaged, or rebuild.
I just bought a gs yesterday and at 6 am i see this video
My first car happen to be an Eclipse. A 1998 Eclipse RS and some do come with sunroofs and mine has one. Here's another fun fact that I just found out, not all GSX or TSI AWD models come with ABS...
Another thing to check when buying, the gas pedals on these can get weak and wiggly and that's a sign the car was abused in some way (rough on the car, raced hard, etc)
I wish you made this last year. I’m the guy who bought the DSM in Florida 😭. Luckily the car was as advertised outside a few minor issues. As always, great video man. Love this channel for real.
Glad to hear you got that one! Take care of that gem
Miguel Dsm definitely!
I have a 95 eclipse. And a turbo in the trunk. She's my beauty she needs a little help can't wait to get her on the road again.
GREAT VIDEO VERY INFORMATIVE AND STRAIGHT TO BUSINESS 💯💯💯
Couldn’t have said it better Miguel 👌🏼
🤙🏼
Loved the video thank u so much
My gsx and tsi awd both dont have sunroofs, you can get any model without one just not as common
Excelente Proyecto Miguel ,Saludos Desde El Salvador .
Saludos!
Buyers beware it is super good! You meant! 👍
I have never had a car, and have no knowledge about cars, but I really want an Eclipse. As a kid I fell in love with this car (actually the 3rd gen) while playing Midnight Club 3. Tough that it requires this much investment, I hope one day I get to have one.
Good video. Im looking at buying one this Friday. Its nice n stock, too...
Getting one tomorrow hopefully 🤞🏼
You ever get it?
@@bryanwalker4588 yeah I got a 97 Spyder GST, I really want a hardtop but hard to find
Picked up my own 96 2ga gsx project a couple weeks ago!! Finally got her running... pretty rough lol but give me some time. Sadly looks just like the green gst, but much more rust and mismatch fenders and side skirts... so if yall ever think about sending her to the yard.. let me buy those monarch green body parts lol. Good looking on the control arms, I'll have to order a set. Appreciate the tips from you and the homies!
Car is gone now man :/ congrats on getting yours running though!
really wished I've seen this before I bought my talon over paid but as rn getting back on the road soon 💯
I have an 07 Eclipse Spyder GT, low miles still 🎉❤ love my car!!!!🎉
also, foamy or anything strange on the bottom of the oil cap is normal especially with E85 cars. They just need some times to come up to operating temperature and will evaporate
If anyone was wondering the song at the beginning is water works
Did he say twenty hundred, it’s alright man. Not sure how I came across your page but thanks for trying to help the community.
I have a 2008 Eclipse GT, but I really love the Gen 2!
Bro this is like one of my dream cars idkw
had one back in high school when fast and the furious came out and oh boy everyone just loved the car, it was just the gs model but i have a lot of fun with it changed the wheels, paint, wing, suspension, and i sold it after 5 years with it. now I'm married with 4 kids and I'm getting old so i just found a GST model and I'm about to but it, ready to drop some cash on it like never had.
Been wanting a dsm for like 2 years and im just waiting for the right time
Hope you get a good one!
I have one I’m the only owner 1997 gsx with 43000 miles live in Connecticut
@@walksfar68 I also live in Connecticut and I kinda want one as my first car
Even though by the time I get one I’ll be driving it down for college
I just bought a 3g eclipse and I’m looking for ideas of what to start working on next. I’ve replaced my clutch early on to be safe, as well as the control arms. Open to any ideas
I’ve owned my gs for almost 3 years it’s a great car love it
how much miles? i wanna buy one for my first and i like them just wanna make sure they realiable and fast
I had a 96 eclipse RS and it had to be let go but I’m looking for another one day when I do get another one I will never let it go again
I always wanted one and still do. I had two choices a ss Monte 2001 or this one😭 I’ve picked the ss but sooner or later I’m getting one. Thank you for the informal video soon I’m gonna know what I need to look for.
Thanks for the info, good video. I live In south Texas (Corpus Christi) and there’s only one Pull-A-Part junkyard with no 2g’s but a couple 3g’s. I was wondering what parts will go on my 2g from the 3g’s. Such as the front subframe bracket and engine mounts, window motors, window switch. Shift linkages.. Etc.
Great video, thanks! I've owned a 99 GS for 10 years now.
How stock is it?
@@kaosemeralds it is maybe 90% stock. Has no underhood mods. Has aftermarket stereo and speakers. Currently working on changing interior to all black, with a black suede headliner.
Boost leaks?! Nooooo not on these... LOL great video man! Wish it was out when I bought mine!
I know I´m late but I wanted to add this. I´m from Germany and i got an Eclipse. It has a naturally aspirated 4G63 that has 146HP stock. I don´t know if you can get them everywhere but if you want to look it up it´s a 1995 2GA so before the facelift.
Here at Mitsubishi, we get it. In these trying times, it can be really hard to commit to a color scheme for your classic, mid-noughties racecar. So we're working in partnership with West Coast Customs to provide a livery for anything life can throw at you. Bad hair day? There's a livery for that. Stuck upside down in your rhinestone gravity boots? There's a livery for that. Dad screaming you were a mistake long into the night again? You guessed it. The Mitsubishi Eclipse. Adding yet more color to an already colorful existence.
They’re a lot of Mitsubishi’s in my state especially Eclipses and it’s growing on me.
Imma get a gs soon hopefully 🤟🏾
Can you guys make a vid on replacing the head gasket? My 1999 RS blew his and I'm at a loss in how to even take the intake manifold out on this thing
I have 2 of these. 1996 gs and a 1999 rs. Feisty cars but amazing when they run
Yes ALWAYS make sure "your gas guage isnt overheating" 🤣 stuff happens man keep making awesome videos
Oh damm 😂😂😂
Almost done with my awd conversion, you've been a huge help and inspiration during all this
Good to hear 🤘🏼
I just bought a ‘99 GST 2 weeks ago as a little project car, love it so far
Congrats!
Miguel Dsm thank you!
If youre going to dump money with performance parts, invest into the ecu first before buyin all the good stuff.
Ecmtuning>ecmlink v3
So I love the look of these cars but I don’t know which one to get. This will be my first car and I want to know what do you recommend? I don’t know about working on cars but I’d love to learn. Should I buy a GSX or a different one. Are the non turbo models the RS?
Do more videos on the rs I got a 99 that's giving me some problems
Great video man! Hope a lot of you take notes!
Thank you!
awesome 😍😍😍
FYI, you can get an RS with a sunroof. My 98 RS had a sunroof
Yup! I didn’t add the dealer options
My 99 rs has a sunroof
Looking at a 97 gst thanks for the help boss
It’s been very hard finding a GSX, and most will go for over 6k in ok condition on Craigslist. Most clean ones will go for over 10K on DSMTuner and Bring A Trailer. And it’s very rare to see one being sold. I’m still looking and am prepared to pay 10K cash for the right car. I miss my red stock exterior 97 GSX with a built six bolt and tdo6 20g so much from 20 years ago. Such a beautiful car, ran low 12s on pump gas.
Rather wait for the right one then get a random one that’s needs a whole rebuild
Love yout golden rims on the silver Eclipse.
What brand and size are those? :D
