This 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse started life as a FWD non-turbo car. Using parts from multiple generations of Mitsubishi Evo, owner Miguel has turned it into a fire-breathing, E85 drinking, Franken-bishi with big power and a bigger story.

Thank you guys for having me on! 🙏🏻
Another win for my DSM peeps!
That is one sick car man. Love it! My senior year in HS in 99 l got a 91 3000GT. l miss it.👍👍
Awesome build!
This is so sick, easily one of my favourite builds I’ve seen
Dude you made a Beauty - what a great Build ! Respect from Germany 👍
This build reminds me of all the kids on the corolla groups asking for awd conversions.. at least the mods on this car make sense. Badass
What a refreshing video that takes you down memory lane. Miguel is a class act, he’s the standard for the DSM community. Or any community, taking pride and having love for what you have will always give you great results.
What is the DSM community?
@@xprettylightsx en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond-Star_Motors
@@xprettylightsx diamond star motors cars. Basically Dodge/Chrysler and Mitsubishi had a partnership back in 70s where they were the importer for Mitsubishi cars and owned a stake in them. Then the late 80s they had a 50/50 split on a US factory so mitsubishi could produce cars in the US and avoid import taxes, and as a result a few Mitsubishi cars ended up getting rebadged and sold under the Chrysler brands. Hence why the Eagle Talon and eclipse both exist despite being the same car internally. I believe that’s also why the 3000gt has an alternate version called the dodge stealth.
@@XanielMarino thank you so much for the in depth reply. I learned something new today that interests me.
lol no
I'm glad Zack said it. The design is totally underrated. One of the best designed cars from the 90's. It looks better than some new cars today.
honestly one of the best looking cars ever.
Miguel is someone I look up to in the DSM community. The build he has done is incredible.
Nice to finally see a 2g on this channel! And Miguel's car is one of the coolest builds out there. It's worth noting that most DSM's had a rear LSD (optional on 2g's) but it was a viscous type whereas EVOs had a clutch type LSD.
Viscous coupling limited slip differentials have clutch discs....
@@turbo_brian sure, but a true clutch type diff doesn't have viscous fluid and they tend to work better for performance driving
@@CaptainTonus Still better than a open diff
Ahhh Miguel Dsm going to be good show
That greddy type s bov never gets old. Brings back so many good memories
I loved the honesty of the owner, the car and this review. It was stellar and exciting as well as authentic in every dimension of review. Great work! Miguel you have a cool car.
Thanks! 🙏
The 2g GSX is my "I never should have sold that" car.
Great Job Miguel. I had 4 Mitsubishi Eclipses in the 1990's. My first one was a base model I got brand new in 1990. Then I had a 1992 GS-T modified to 300 hp. Next a 1994 GSX modified to 350 Hp. My last was when I purchased a brand new 1997 GSX from the dealer. I later modified it and built up the engine to run 25 psi and made close to 500 hp. Running 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds and quarter mile at 11.7 @ 120 mph in a 5 speed manual. This was in 1998!!! Loved that car, but sold it in 2004 when I moved on to other brands. Thanks for the interview and run down memory lane. DSM cars are a labor of love and glad to see them getting the love they deserve. Especially now as they are close to 25 years old!
Watched and then worked with my dad (RIP) building out his 1992 Plymouth Laser AWD, these cars are so hard to find parts for now in my experience. Total beasts when dialed in right. Good for Miguel - DSM is a family
That car needs to be raised up about a inch and a half,.. stiffening it won't help it's a great looking car and took me immediately down memory lane.. I'm 45.. love it
For those of us that have been in the community for a long time (personally with my 2G DSM for over 20 years) we love these cars. I applaud Miguel for the work he’s done, and continues to do, for and with the community. As for the canyon carving capabilities, from someone that Time Attacks a 2G, I can tell you that these cars potential on the road course is extremely overlooked. Very fast and can handle extremely well. When setup correctly, these cars will rival any modern day car on the circuit.
Just built one in Forza I completly agree 😂😂👍
Props to the determination turning a 420a car into what this is now. Great to see a DSM on this channel!
Love it!
Makes me appreciate my 1st Gen. and what it was at the time. Back in 1997.. here was my build:
1992 Eagle Talon TSi
Automatic
Upgraded Fuel Pump
550cc Injectors
HKS Boost Controller
HKS Vein Pressure Converter
HKS GCC
Cold Air Intake
20G Turbo ported and clipped
Upgraded Intercooler
Larger Throttle Body
Extrude-Honed Intake Manifold
Extrude-Honed Head with 3-angle valves
JE Forged Pistons .030' over
Block bored .030" over
ARP Studs throughout
Extrude-Honed Exhaust Manifold w/ External Wastegate
3" Downpipe
3" Exhaust
High-stall Torque Converter
Some of it built by Buschur Racing. It was the only Automatic that was ever known to be built at that time. Buschur was going to try to get me featured in Turbo Magazine, but the car broke and never ran again. Ran 11s without any tuning/dynoing.
The car in this video is great, but my car was likely the coolest sleeper street-driven, street tire 1st gen ever built. No offense, but it doesn't look like much advancement in the past 20 years. I think the DSM 1G/2G platform has even more potential with today's advancements (street driven not the ones people convert to drag cars).
Man these take me back. My first car was a 1990 Eclipse GS that I had in college, while the cool kids had their brand new 2nd gen GSXs. Mine had no turbo AWD and broke down quite a bit, but I've always had a soft spot for the 1st and 2nd gen GSXs.
How did you make a non-turbo unreliable?? I couldn't kill one with basic maintenance when it was 20 years old.
I love the greddy bov. That sound brings back so many memories.
Nothing like a type s bov. Im Glad I got one for my project
Well deserved recognition and appreciation. People see what many of us already know. And what a car with a superb recipe to represent.
Hard to believe this man owns this a evo 9 and a 3000gt vr4 thank you for keeping the eclipse alive
OMG the Pop's.... Miguel dude!!! What have you done... 2 thumbs up... Wow.. Amazing sound..
I used to own 3 1999 GSTs back in the day, one of my FAVORITE cars of all time.
Man I swear Miguel has the top 5 cleanest GSX’s I’ve ever seen…That thing is a ABSOLUTE GEM.💎
You can see that this was like letting Zack take a go at the love of his life
Yeah man...Dsm cars ruled in the early 2000s...Great example and commitment to the project..👍🏽🏁
Oh man was watching Miguel's stuff back in 2020 during peak covid, as I've always wanted a 2nd gen Eagle Talon TSI AWD. Glad to see he's still keeping up with the DSM's and continually improving his cars.
I don't post much on TST videos, but I love watching Zak enjoying a car specially when hits hard on memories and younger stage dreams.
Congrats to the owner, I have my project around the same amount of time than you and I'm not selling it never.
I had the Eagle Talon TSi AWD sister car which I bought new after my first gen went boom. I did the basic bolt-ons and a piggy back tune which got me 325awhp/325tq and it was perfect for use as my daily and Blvd cruiser on Friday and Saturday nights lol. This is an amazing build for a guy who never did a build before. Much respect for keeping your baby going ten years later
Great story...thoroughly enjoyed the extended intro. Could definitely see & hear the passion in Miguel's explanations for his build direction.
im 17, inherited a 1998 gs-t. rebuilding the motor, might take a while due to money reasons but cant wait to get it going these are awesome
This thing is a beauty and looks amd sounds amazing. This makes me miss my hondas from back in the day. My friends and i had every build you could think of....man i so miss it
Couldn't have clicked this fast enough. Miguel this car is amazing. It Canada it was hard to get a GSX (GST were more available.) I really wanted the AWD so ended up getting the sister car, a 1998 Talon TSI AWD. First car I bought myself in 2004. Was 19 at the time so was hard to have the extra money for modding and all that fun.
Had to sell it a few years late but was able to get another 1998 Talon TSI AWD in 2008ish which I was able to mod to my liking. Regret selling both, especially seeing how hard they are to come by now. This definitely brought memories of those fun days. Great vid Zack, thank you!
Thank you for going back to y'alls roots, doing these new cars are so boring and have no frills at all, with every other YT channel doing reviews and drives. Keep up the work, and never forget your roots!!
Love that 4G63, I’ve had a Galant VR4 for about two years now and the DSM community and some local friends have been invaluable! I have to say I love being part of it more so than the Subaru squad I formerly belonged to 😂
Always liked these, I remember the first "fast" car I really drove was my friends, Eagle Talon TSI which was basically the Eclipse GSX. It was so fun to drive, manual, turbo, all wheel drive, just a really fun car. Haha Zack, I feel you, my buddy's sister had one of my hero cars, it was a Dodge Daytona Turbo Shelby Z, just like the one from the movie The Wraith, I really wanted to drive that car, almost asked her out for the same reason.
eagle talon is based on the first generation eclipse, this is the newer second generation 1995-1999 but they were very similar.
The Wraith, yes! "You lose the race. you lose your car!"
@@potatochobit I don't understand. Why are you "correcting" someone when you don't know what you're talking about? Very strange you would feel the need to do so.
There absolutely was a 2nd gen Eagle Talon.
@@rileyschultz5608 kid, your second gen talon is fake.
@@potatochobit you might be confusing the Eagle Talon for the Plymouth Laser, which didn’t have a second generation, but the Eagle Talon did have 2 generations
Man I really enjoyed your reaction to the DSM bro... "It's Angry" really enjoyed this one. Much respect Miguel, been watching your transformation. I miss my DSM, very easy platform to work with.
Turn in might be slow because of tire sidewall being soft.
Very common in that Federal 595 lineup.
I would recommend Continental ExtremeContact Force next time around, the price will go up a bit, but trust me its worth it!
Btw great fan of the build since the early days on Instagram
This just goes to show what you can do building your own car. I am doing the same except with a Subaru. 09 Forester X lowered on coilovers and full aftermarket suspension. Corners so well I had to put in a Sparco seat. Next step is the brakes and 6speed from a donor STi. Keep it going Miguel your car is awesome!
I knew it was Miguel DSM
What an amazing dsm, I always loved this generation and the owner has done a great job with it. The story of the car was great as well. Zack as always is a pleasure watch do these reviews.
Definitely takes be back to the days of just moving out of my parents house and raising hell with my buddy in his GST. Love the build , nice job 👍🏼
Damn I love this thing so much it's sooo beautiful I miss old times mitsubishi
Wow these were iconic...A buddy of mine had a 98' GST in HighSchool...These were soooo phucking kewl!
The camera quality looks really good now! I remember when you guys first switched to 4K it looked so grainy. I’m glad it’s been worked out! 🤙
New computer can handle higher bitrate. It's much happier now.
knew it was miguels from that thumbnail. lets go!!
Awesome car! Love everything about this car! I seen pics of this car every where and always wanted to see it in action! This car takes me back when the tuner scene was at its best and love all the sounds this car makes. Thank you Miquel for sharing and thank you smoking tire!
Love this dsm, Miguel is an awesome fella as well. Good job guys! 👏
Watching this took me back to my teenage years. I had the 97 GS-T as my first car and this made me miss my car so much 😭 . I was such a eclipse fan boy I bought a 04 eclipse and after that a 08 eclipse.
Am I the only one getting that fast and furious sound?
I'm getting that blown welds off the intake manifold sounds
He has the same blow of valve as the one in the movie
DSM ftw 💯
Got that Brian O’Connor blow off valve 😅
Wow props to him for doing the swap. Those motors have different mounts. Really cool car. I used to have a 95 AWD Talon and that thing made people give me wtf looks every time the wastegate dump opened
I knew it was his, seen him on Instagram. Cool ass build.
Content like this is exactly what the smoking tire is for me. Bloody hell that was epic. One of the few cars I'm sad we can't get in Australia
Great to see more Mitsubishi content from their (short) peak. I have an Evo 1, 2 and 3. Hope to see Zach come to Australia one day to do a comparison.
My aunt in San Francisco had a white one back in the day. Her husband Paul had a forest green vr4 3000gt. Both cars were fantastic for their time.
Joyful video to watch! The sounds this things make brings a smile to my face.
Congrats miguel!!! By far the sickest eclipse out there!
Such an awesome build. Great job Miguel. Makes me long for my old Evo VIII (RIP my friend).
The 90’s was awesome. Street drag every weekend. Makes me miss my eclipses.
Definitely a super cool build, this car has been on my list for a while now
That tire honk was too funny to me. Laughed everytime. Is it just me or is the driver seat and steering wheel too close to each other? Sick build
2g Eclipse GSX is getting better looking with time!
Had a 92 GS and a 91 tsi awd. Great cars with crap transmissions and undersized brakes
I always liked the Eagle Talon too, once saw one back in early 00 on the highway with a turbo + N lightning acceleration.
When I lived in Denver back in 1996. I had a 1992 Turbo H22A Honda Accord Wagon manual transmission with the LSD. My good friend had a built GSX Eclipse. Going snowboarding in Steamboat we would take his car. That was so fun
Miguel the man! So proud of you my guy!!!
Never got the Eclipse in Australia, but my brother did have a silver Evo 6 with an Evo9 turbo, on e85. Pretty snappy little engine that came onto boost pretty quickly.
Always a WIN to see a Fellow DSM on TheSmokingTire! GREAT JOB :D
These are so rare to find in the wild these days, props to you sir and Zach awesome find!
Brings me back to the old smoking tire days. Back when an upload once a week was amazing. Now daily uploads are the regular.
Miguel gets his beast on One Take!!
Was never really into these, but this video got me hooked. So well built 😎
Love this. New cars just aren't as exciting as cars from this era. I love how 90's turbo engines just always sound like they are trying to eat themselves when on boost.
always nice to see a DSM getting the spotlight especially miguel's.
High school dream car here. So happy to see this video! Wish I could drive one of these
Except for the tire rub, What a wet dream of a driving machine! The first gen Eclipse was handsome, but the first time you saw a 2nd gen Eclipse at all, you knew you wanted one, base engine or not. Legendary styling for what was essentially an affordable coupe. Especially at the time.
Very smooth transition to the ad
Dammmn… reminds me of my old 95 gst…mine was silver with bronze wheels as well, upgraded to a 16g turbo and had about 300hp… was such a fun car….
I love this eclipse build. It looks great and very fast. Great review.
What a treasure of a car! Well done Miguel, well done indeed!
this thing looks literally PERFECT
Childhood dream build! What a great car and cooler owner 😎
Nicely done Miguel!!!
Sure sounds like a ripper! Don’t forget while evos had McPherson suspension these DSMs were actually multilink (wishbone) front and a decent multilink rear. They got huge in the drag racing world, but they actually handled quite well and did well at AutoX before the Evo came to our shores.
Miguel way to go buddy im happy for you being on The Smoking Tire keep doing your thing bro.
What an awesome build. Always loved the 2nd gen eclipse
My buddy had one of these and it was aweome GSX !
Been following this guy on insta for a few years now this car is so fucking clean 🔥🔥🔥 also 500hp is perfect especially for a daily street style car. Most people that haven't been in a faster car would get in this thing and think it feels like 800hp. I scared my friends in my 280hp srt4 trust when most people talk shit they have no idea how it actually feels. Props again to the man Miguel 🤙🔥
My best friend in high school had a real GSX… upgraded T4 turbo, built bottom end, stage 3 6puck clutch, FBO and tuned with ‘DSM link’ I believe - made around 340whp - was a super fun car to drive, handling was tremendous and I do agree about the clutch/trans it’s got an odd feeling to it and the gears are big and widely spaced apart. The thing I didn’t like most about it was how cheap & chincy the interior felt and some other parts on the car.
Niiiiiice! Miguel on TST!
One of my favorite cars on CZcams
I followed this build In real time with Miguel dsm and really miss my eclipse .
The commentary in this video is A+++😄👍
This car is LEGENDARY!!
Zach’s videos are so much more natural. He also doesn’t hate his subjects. Give this man his own channel.
This story and build is dope af.
Absolutely beautiful build. Love it
What a damn nice chap! Properly sound owner and a great video 👌
i had a 96` rs 5-speed that i built out and put a super16g on as a kid. i miss that car so much.
Yeah, I really loved the Eclipses and Eagle Talons back in the '90s. I started as a fan of the originals with the pop-up headlights featuring really thin marker lights. I got as far as calling people in the classifieds, but I couldn't afford any of the used 1st gens back when I was 16. The 2nd gen had that crazy 3rd quarter window that curves back into the C-pillar arching the opposite way from pretty much every car ever made. They just look like angry little speed pods, and they go like stink. (Also, we don't talk about the 3rd gen...)
Miguel, raise this thing up like 0.75", put on a quality stainless exhaust with a good performance muffler, and take it to a body shop for the bumper/bodykit repairs, so they can plastic-weld the urethane together and clean up the rough stuff like that door for you, you don't even have to paint it yet. Do that, and you'll have something a lot more usable, which means you're more likely to drive it. And that's really the point, right?
