- Rob bought his 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GST for a daily driver, then he lost all control. Big turbo, Kevlar timing belt, Evo valves...he just couldn't stop turning it into a race car!

Love my red 98 gst. Got so many offers to sell it but I turned them all down
Got my self a 97 spyder GST as well!
I have a Black 97 Spyder with the high rise wing
I have an all black spyder. Black top, black interior and black paint. I love it. I converted it to AWD and built the engine to a stroker 2.3, I love it.
Convertible for summer, AWD for winter, and Turbo for the mountain altitude
Wow great interview. I owned a few in and shortly after high school. I am ready to get another now. Thanks for the interview
That's how I feel. I might want to get one. I had one in high school. Gs not convertible
I love this video format!!
Thanks man! We love making them!
If it was stock would have been a great daily
I am currently trying to figure out how oil keeps getting on the underside of the hood right above the timing belt cover on my stock 97 GST spider! You are absolute right about them being finicky though. When the OEM spark plugs were due for replacement, I put in split fire plugs (remember those?), and boy did it hate them!
This is pretty cool, i have the exact same year and model in the same color, i want to tune it up but i have to figure it out first
The 97-99 GSX is my first love. I had one back in the day with a 6bolt street build with a 20g. Really fun car. Now that I’m 40, and have the money, I’m looking for a clean well maintained one and it’s impossible. Currently budgeting around $15,000 just for the car. I just want to make it into a fun weekend car to drive and keep polished.
Ill sell you this one lol, im tired of playing with it and the 3000gt at the same time.

literally went looking for this comment as soon as I heard it lol
What is the tire size? It can't be stock tire right? I got 2003 model. I want to put new tire, but waiting for the right size.
Mines a daily and it's old as hell you just make sure change the timing belt as soon as you get it so there actually not u reliable if taken care of
Hey thats my car lol .
How much would you see for
Do you have your own channel? Any more videos?
I do have a channel its called Fingers Crossed Motorsports
do you recall what seats those were? they look to be a direct fit and they look amazing!
We have a ‘97 my husband has owned since ‘97. Great condition but the clutch keeps hitting the floor. 4 mechanics later and still unable to get it working.
Check your through out bearing and clutch fork. After years of driving the fork may bend slightly and cause bad engagement or the pivot ball will wear out and need to be replaced.
If it’s a hydraulic problem replace the stock clutch line with a stainless steel braided line. Check the slave cylinder and the master cylinder for leaks or bad seals. Any air in the system at all will cause the pedal to be useless. If at all possible a gravity bleed works well or a suction bleed is even better.
If your in the San Diego/Los Angels area I can help out a fellow Eclipse owner
@@austinbecker4654 hey I just bought a eclipse. I might need your help sometime. U in San Diego?
This happens all the time. Try adding clutch fluid while having someone else pump the clutch pedal. Also sometimes even when its hits the floor..just pull it back up and keep pumping it. Air in the line will cause this but it's a pretty easy fix either way. Both of the things i just explained happened to me and and the recommendations worked.
Tune the city but the car has never being tuned... 🤔
I had a red gs eclipse I miss it.
I have a red gs 😏
I miss mine too. Maybe rose colored glasses.
I'm from the burgh, i dated a girl who had this exact same car. She picked me up from work with the top down, her hot girlfriend riding shotgun. All my co workers were like dang!! Loved this car. Body style is timeless!
New Kensington?
Yes sir! Memorial Park.
Are these cars realiable?
Not really. But they are fun cars so that's why I own one.
I have a 97 automatic gst spyder and it’s been very reliable since I’ve owned it these past 4 years and I barely hit 120k last month. The only drawbacks I have right now is the alternator placement for when it rains and the high pressure return hose on top of the power steering pump leaks sometimes and that can also kill an alternator.
Rob is so sexy, I mean his car too.
And em sco
Smh
i want one soo fucking bad
might sell my 96 gsx... runs great, needs a tune, some body and paint. in CA. if you want make an offer
