What do you hate about the Mitsubishi Eclipse?
i kinda dont like that the rearbumper is sooooooooooo fat
Miguel Dsm i cant get it built like i want yet
Sunroof leaking when it rains
I hate the fact u hate it. I WISH to own one. In ARG they are SO rare even stock, not even mention a modified one.
You I hate our wheel offset. It limits us on our wheel selection. I hate that our transmission are not setup like the Subarus.
Same story with Evo's, people slap on big turbos and race them every day, then the car breaks down and blame it on the car.
and whats worse is that they either sell the car modded or shit
True, like what do you expect my guy.
And that’s why I’m going with gentle 6psi of boost, just to keep things reliable and safe :) plus it’s a possible daily so I’m not trying to spend a ton on petrol.
This is why I prefer it for people to keep cars like this on stock HP and without that much mods and tunes.
I'd just lower the car, get sportier wheels, get better seats, do a muffler delete, and get a decent rear wing.
Wouldn't care if it can't outrun a Lambo or a GT-R as long as its fun.
This randomly popped up in my recommended and I'm not even an eclipse fan, but your car is gorgeous
Yep, it's the owners. The cars are freaking awesome! Had my 1990 Eagle Talon TSi since I was 18.... I'm 34 now, still got it. still drive it. Also the air bag cover... dude find an upholstery shop and have them redo it.
My first favorite car. Both my uncle and cousin had one in the early 2000s. This will forever be one of my most favorite cars. A simple yet timeless design.
Design simples???🙄🙄 rs rs.. você tá de brincadeira, né??? Design simples, aliás , simples não, simplório, é o estes designers de carros horríveis dos EUA costumam na maioria das vezes fazer. Já os japoneses, que desenharam este carro e também redesenharam o Camaro, , e também assim como os italianos, não fazem design simples não...Fazem obras primas, como é o Eclipse, dão aulas de design , e encantam o mundo!!
You why you hate it? Granny shifting not double clutching Like you should. Get it?
Dreji TheRacer do you know what double clutching is? Because the way you put it in that context makes me think you don’t. Double clutching isn’t any different than granny shifting. In fact, double clutching takes longer. Flat foot shifting is the fastest way for most people.
He probably fried the piston rings
@@camonstix9410 umm I'm just making a joke from fast and furious 1 quote
Cameron Combs r/woooosh
Lmaooo I get it
Some people hate this kind of videos. Because they are offended
BUT this man tells you the truth and that helps people who want to have an eclipse
Btw. I love that car 🙏
Main reason why i did it! Thanks dude!
Exactly this.
This dude does nothing but blame previous owners like a pssy
As a big Evo guy myself, seeing a proper heart in that Eclipse.. makes me excited to get an Eclipse for myself. I daily drove a built 4G for a year, never had an issue - so long as you maintain them and use the recommended fluids and such, these can be reliable.
Also, subbed! We need more dope DSMs on CZcams.
I owned about 6 DSM in my life and currently own a 1G Talon Awd TSI, yes these are older cars and parts tend to break but in the end the car is only as reliable as the owner, my first DSM was a stock non hacked 1g GST with 300,000 miles on it and it ran great, i didn't dog on it and kept up with regular routine maintenance, oil,coolant,plugs . dont rag on it 24/7 and they work good.
Thanks for the tips, I just got my 97 gsx back from the shop. Only thing I hate is that i can't fit properly. too damn tall.
Aren’t you Manus friend? I used to work for him! Lol
@@MiguelDsm yeah, small world lol.
Bryan Casella have you looked into aftermarket seat applications? I know that people change a lot in 240’s to have helmet room.
1g's are much more roomy, same with evos
I have the same problem, 6"4" the only other thing I guess that is good about our car, it's a lot cheaper than most people,s cars on here, it's a GS, all stock, except for the cherry bomb glasspack muffler on it, it doesn't have a radio in it and I kinda like the noise it puts out
You should make a video on how you installed brembos on your car
devious gaming easy
they are probably the evo brembos
1.it's a eclipse
But you have the cleanest one I have ever seen
Omg facts bro I just got my first 99 eclipse gs 420a a month ago I'm only in 10th grade and I hate the fact that people don't take care of em but ty so much for making videos on it bc without watching your videos I wouldn't know much about em
My first car was the rs model. And the best way I learned about my car was taking things carefully apart and putting them back together. It was fun and I learned everything about the eclipse.
I'm on my 4th one and I gotta say you are 100% right on the previous owner bit. NONE of them did ANY maintenance. They all want to skip right to mods then wonder why nothing works. I've had my current 2g for a few years now and get an insane amount of compliments on how clean I keep her and how much I maintain it. Daily driven, 185k miles, just made a 5000 Mile road trip no problems at all. Not bad for 20 years old. These cars require a lot of attention, if you're in the market for one better expect to be working on it every weekend!
Ugh.. Air bag peel, that's what's been bugging me right now.
I have an issue with water and air, getting past both of my door's windows.
Damn buddy I've got to say your car is really nice keep the videos coming
I had a 97 rs and I miss it such a great good looking daily, learned manual and a lot of experience with that car. Your car was always an inspiration to that build and your car makes me want to get back into one so bad
Do it!
Beautiful ride👍
Hey Miguel a had vs the world video would be nice, or POV roll racing. That would be cool to see. Keep up the great work
I love my 2005 Eclipse, I am 59 and automatic but perfect my son's 5 speed eclipse 2000. My daughter has a red Eclipse 2001, automatic. It depends on how you take care of them, all has rims, tinted windows, I had mine every since 2009 and she has 206,000 miles, parts replaced. Running good 😊
Pls do a „5 things you love“ tooooo!!!
The 2G was one of my favs. In the looks department it has it where it counts! Some of the interior plastics and door handles were fickle....but no car really is perfect. These make good project cars though.
Damn solid video!!
Thanks!
Good ole Diamond Star Motors content brings back good memories😭😭😍
I live in EU and have USDM red tail lights. You are from America and have EDM tail lights :D
Yup! We like to switch over to edm talights in the states
Do you know something about JDM tails? Are they even possible to obtain these days?
I know like two people that have them. They’re even rarer than the edm tails and never pop up for sale
Wanna trade
Miguel Dsm if anyone wants some edm tails I have a set for sale!
Rolling the rear fenders on these is a nightmare. Beautiful car by the way too. Seen it on the internet before and those wheels are perfect for Eclipses.
I have a 1999 eclipse it was my grandpas, but after he died they gave it to me, the car doesn’t crank at all on the key does it have some sort of kill switch? It’s not the starter or anything because I can turn it and the lights & ac turn on so power is getting through just it won’t crank?
gr8 tip on the door handles is in addition to what U said about open em n then pull door open from side...also before that when UR actually unlock the car rec people push the key up before turning to unlock...Also never had chg door handles either on any of my 3 DSMs.
I love this body style, one of the prettiest cars ever 😍
I'm planning on getting one and I'm 16, I don't plan on modding it but do you have a video on how to do maintence properly so I can get a lot out if it?
Oh my god, I could relate so hard on the trunk springs and door handle lmao
I just bought my first eclipse gt 2001 it’s in good condition and I hope to learn a lot more from your videos
Started watching the channel because of @ Mister Memo. Definitely like the Evo swap. Looking forward to catching more videos
Stay tuned! Thank you
Im having electrical problems on my 97 eclipse gs and literally have done everything I can think of and the only thing i haven't replaced is the neutral safety switch. Where is that at?
Thinking about getting one, anything in particular that I should be looking for when getting one?
I have a GST same color do you know what the color is called? I'm wanting to paint the new door handle I got cuz like u said it broke
im just waiting for bobby to get those aluminum door handles off tuners when he gets them to his standards but ive never broken a handle and ive had 3
I love everything about u r car bro is what quip s the hope of learning to do a badassss build like yours
For the GS model... It comea with a certain type of bumper... And the one you had was different... Did you change it? If so what bumper is it?
Some of my problems is my roof leaks and my ebrake like sounds like screeching metal when i pull it do you know whats wrong?
Hell yeah bro!
Little confused cause i dont know too much about these cars, is this an awd model? i saw the hump in the back seats but you said its a gs not a gsx, are gs's also awd or is awd an option for lower trims?
Talking about door handles i just snapped mine and im struggling to find a new one when i do ill have to use your trick to not break them anymore
You just got a subscriber. thanks for giving the kids advice about correct maintenance!
Thanks! man! took the words out of my mouth. I have a 01 galant very unreliable little guy, still running wild at 270k miles :)
2 of these are about reputations of the vehicles which, obviously does raise questions. My opinion is though, to not judge a car on reputation. You evidently love your car and thats what should count 🌞
I picked up a 2000 eclipse gt v6 non turbo and need a little guidance on what to look out for on maintenance im somewhat mechanically inclined
I'm in highschool and working on fixing an eagle talon that wasn't taken care of before I got it. Has bad oil leaks, bigger injectors, bigger turbo, was never tuned, blown struts/springs all the way around, blown clutch, slave cylinder, and needs motor mounts done
My first car was a 2011 Eclipse GT. Im a good owner and the mods I did for my 2011 Eclipse GT was a custom Engine swap with a custom engine that pumps out 800HP,new after market suspension,and after market exhaust
Question man, do you have a video on the basics? Like on what you should do to the car to make it a good ass car? and how you should do it?
I want to buy myself an eclipse , which one should i buy , the gst , gsx , cabrio? And whats the recommended price i should spend on buying the car ?
About your Air bag cover - Bad news bro, but to do a proper delete, you are going to have to take the entire dash out and go after it with power tools. After you remove it, you will need a grinder with a cut-off wheel and when you cut into the cover, dont try to cut it from the edge, leave plenty of edge and just cut out 80% of the cover from the center. This space you made is only so you can see when you're doing when you actually start to cut the JB weld out. You cannot leave the dash in the car, you have to take it out. the reason for this will be apparent in the next step.
Next you will need a drimmel and you are going get a much smaller cut off wheel and screw it in to the tool. The drimmel can operate at much lower RPM and make much more precise cuts. From there, you are going to start cutting the edges loose with this tool. go slow, and be sure that you cut it horizontally first. after you make all your hoizontal cuts from the bottom side, you can start to cut it from the top and make all your vertical cuts. After that, the piece should come out without much issue.
Forever love dsm!!!
I've loved the DSM's look ever since I first saw it, 19 right now, and it's still my dream car. I just don't know jack about car maintenance and care. Still I hope to own one of these someday, even if it is worn down after 20 years of release. Modding it isn't really my interest, so much as having and driving one.
Hola Miguel, bro tengo un 98 eclipse gst... y necesito un nuevo tanque de gas, bc 2 of the out of the 3 little pins that holds the gas tank are broke, only 1 is holding some of the weight of the gas tank.. so it’s not seal property and it’s leaking gas.. do you know a website, where I can buy a gas tank ?
So well said brother! I can't believe people asked you to do a video like this though 🙄. Dsms have their own problems but they're still sick!
I was really thinking about getting this as my first car, so what car would you recommend, Honda Civic?
I have a eclipse spyder gts and it has a lot of problems and i want to fix it but i dont know how any tips?
Damn I remember I had one back in early 2000s. But your eclipse is gorgeous you never really see them this clean!
I’ve been working on maintenance for my eclipse. Just had to have the transmission rebuilt completely and just had the fuel pump replaced and jerry rigged the wiring to the ignition. Next is making 100% sure the motor is solid, radiator replaced, need a new maf sensor(not from dealer) and suspension work, which she will be switching to coilovers and dropping her about 1-1 1/2. After all that is done. Since mine is the spyder gs. Convertible top replacement, front bumper, paint and just making sure everything is good then the building of power begins. A long list but I think she will be well worth it once I’m done #savetheeclipse 💪🙌
I will say for a year I have been running my galant v4r on e85 making over 400whp and its been so great to me!! I love the 4g63!!
I had a GSX and an all wheel drive Talon at the same time, I had both of them at least 12 years and basically stock, never had a serious problem with either. They were the most fun cars to go out on back roads and play. When I turned about 65 I sold both because I was having a problem getting in and out. I thought they were fantastic cars!
I bought 94 Eagle Talon DL 1.8 back in 95 ,20,000 miles on it. Ran the shit out of it for 9 years. Loved it. Changed the timing belt after 100,000. Only had an alternator and thermostat problem. $180,000 when traded it
“Everything is on dsm tuners”
I wish everyone would understand this before they ask a question in the forums/Facebook groups that’s been asked 100 times already.
Whats DSM tuners?
It’s for the people who they won’t let on Team Nabr! Hahahahaha
What is your opinion on the 4g63 n/a version, i’m 18 and this is my dream car, is it worth buying?
Those are timeless designs, owned three second generation eclipses and Mitsubishi is missing out a LOT on simply not revising that model modernize it and put it on the market it is still a timeless piece, beautiful design, but yes you have to keep up with maintenance especially on turbo engines.
Is it expensive to maintain?like oil changes and fuel consumption?
You can get a set of struts for the hatch at any auto parts store for less than 20 bucks, just get the part number off them and check how long they are before you run to the store.
I had a question what if u have a gsx model but it has a 428 engine is it still a car that will give me trouble
Okay with the picture of you flipping off your car and it's saying you were selling it I was a little skeptical of your video Miguel but I gave it a chance and you actually had some very important things to say so thank you
I have been been saving for quite a while now and I have been looking into buying either a 300zx Twin Turbo (90-96) or a GSX Turbo. I absolutely love the look of the Eclipse more than the 300zx, although I do like the look of the 300zx. Anyways, getting to the point. I was wondering about reliability, as long as the car is driven regularly for 95% of the time, will I be good? Regularly as in NOT doing long pulls or hitting the rev limiter to show off for friends etc. What specific problems might I run in to if there are reliability issues?
I think you forgot to mention, don’t forget to TUNE your car if you’re throwing performance parts on, you cant put on a bigger turbo, fuel set up, and etc and expect it to run and be good to do pulls and bang the redline every red light
I have a 2000 eclipse gt what engine would h recommend me to swap with the original one?
very good production
Thanks!
Good video, but i learned all this 13 years ago. If you put a long ram cold air on it, which goes down into the front bumper and finder, everytime it rain and you drive threw a puddle, it will suck in water and almost kill the car, not good if your in highway traffic and it starts raining.
I’m looking at a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse, is this a good car ?
Totally agree maintenance first then modifications. Any care will be unreliable if basic maintenance routines are not followed. Timing belt & water pump are top priority it’s an interference engine.
I hate the trunk drains and the bottom 2 corners of the rear window getting rust on the trunk hatch.
Yupp pretty common issue
Totally agree!
I maintain mine pretty well.
It's been running a few years.
I picked up a 97 Talon TSI AWD was a one owner for 17 years with records then a kid bought it for 6 months and blew the headgasket and cut fucking holes in the chassis. Been trying to get her back to her former beauty.
I recently bought a 3g eclipse gs with a gt throttle body, injen intake and 2.5inch custom catback. Superlight rtx rims and a custom cluster and gauges to round it out. Its no turbo but it is definately a fun drive. Handling is impressive. Very underestimated car. Would love to own a 2g someday. Not quite as much muscle as my 97' 3000gt but much better daily driveability.
I understand everything, even tho I dont own a GXS, mines a bone stock auto Lancer😏 yea it doenst have a manual setup YET, im still getting comfortable with everything else first before I decide swap it and turn it into a manny. Just gotta take baby steps you know? But I respect your decision in selling yours, its been fun watching it build to where its at👍💯
Thanks for the door tip
Damn accurate in high school literally all I thought was turbo mods and shit thanks helpful af
I'm sure you get this question asked all the time. But can you please tell me what will and tire size and offset your running please
Only a handful of these cars in the UK and mainly non turbo. Great information. Have no idea how I even got her but subscribed anyway. Your GS is 💦💦💦
Got my second eclipse last week. First was a 2003 4 cyl GS. This one is a 2008 gtp 3.8l v6. So happy so much fun. Doing some little upgrades again. But I don't want to be a mechanic just play around a bit. Maybe a turbo since I like the sound.
Cool door handle trick but you can also add a bolt and nut on the rod n it will open quicker. This keep it from pushing all the way up adding pressure and eventually breaking.
I would have to try it if mine ever breaks and have to switch out to a new one haha
If you do maintenance how does your car still not run
Had my 1g gsx when I was 17 but did everything right. Hmmmm, do everything correct and it won’t be bad reliability...
I want one even though it may not be the best idea
Hey at least I don’t want a Porsche 944 lol
Miguel....please, What size are the rims, 18 x 8.5 9.5 ???
Lets see what do I hate about my eclipse
1: is that a supra
2:owners and I agree with all you said
3: the reputation of being a rice car
4: the hatches water tube (literally a fucking pool around my trunk
5:the sound of the window when I close my door
I own a 99 GS all clean and very maintained. Paint is chipping and steering needs a connecting rod between the control arms hut that's it. That about all that my car needs lol
I have an 02 eclipse GT and all I’m doing is keeping it completely original. No performance upgrades no nothing. It’s clean tho I keep it running well and no rust.
I am a 17 year old kid who just got the RS version. I would love to start making power but theres so much mechanically wrong that I know I need to take care of first. It sucks, but I'm hoping it's worth it
I bought a 94 Eagle Talon back in 95, just only had 20,000 miles on it , no mods , ran the shit out of it for over 9 years. Loved it
BoOm good list!
I just need a cheap car, I’m looking at this so I know what I need to fix. Useful info for a high schooler buying their first car👍🏼
Same I’m getting this Tuesday and modifying everything in it when I get this cashed save up😎 I’m be only kid in my area with this
love the build perfect color combo sik evo swap awesome rims nice bride seats
So, i live in Germany. we never got the 4G63T or only as a grey-import, which i cant afford, theyre 3 to 4 times the price.
We DID however get the 4G63 n/a... now, in my head, 150hp n/a is enough for a start. and from what i heard, the 4g63 eclipse is a lot better than the 420. Maybe some mods over time, maybe just keep it clean, i dont know yet.
I know the engine from a galant i had before and i´d imagine its the same in terms of reliability. question is tho, how are they on rust and suspension-issues? how are the eletricals? any tips are appreciated
what finally fixed the crank issues?
