5 Things I HATE About My Mistubishi Eclipse..

[@MiguelDsm]

What do you hate about the Mitsubishi Eclipse?

[@G.O._MEDIA]

i kinda dont like that the rearbumper is sooooooooooo fat

[@dsmchick935]

Miguel Dsm i cant get it built like i want yet

[@JavieBuilt]

Sunroof leaking when it rains

[@ivangabriel3472]

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.

[@Lifesavblog]

You I hate our wheel offset. It limits us on our wheel selection. I hate that our transmission are not setup like the Subarus.

[@jflow1348]

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.

[@saucynfuegoo]

and whats worse is that they either sell the car modded or shit

[@tony_5156]

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.

[@gatsbymaguire]

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.

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.

[@jwayne_2936]

You why you hate it? Granny shifting not double clutching Like you should. Get it?

[@camonstix9410]

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.

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.

1.it's a eclipse But you have the cleanest one I have ever seen

[@CarRant]

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 KZbin.

[@MillionIvy]

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 🌞

[@vraven-tc6cg]

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.

[@theeprodigalson]

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!

[@RetrocarStyle]

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.

[@Xehemoth]

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.

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

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.

[@jeremydickman8042]

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.

[@dsmchick935]

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.

[@MiguelDsm]

I would have to try it if mine ever breaks and have to switch out to a new one haha

[@queeneboy566]

For people with eclipses (and potential future owners.) drain your spare tire well and clean it yearly.! That's one thing I see people completely forget and wonder why it's rusted out.! (I found out about this when I was 16 when I bought my first GS.) to this day people act as if it's something new still. They put a drain plug/cap for a reason.!

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 💪🙌

[@jordanprice9285]

@@Th3MoistGoat see I partially agree with what you said about the 2019 Eclipse because that's just bullshit they put on the name since it's not even a coupe sports car anymore.. but as far as the things you say about the 3rd gen is something I heavily disagree with and here's why.. Ok, so out of all the generations of Eclipse, the 1st gen is actually the slowest of all eclipses in top trim level if we are talking stock, and yes the 3rd gen doesn't have the 4G63 Turbo or AWD from factory which is already clear.. But just because of this stigma that it doesn't have those things, people seem to just write them off as bad cars when in reality, stock they are pretty on par with the Second gens are without such things are actually about 100 pounds lighter from 2000-2002 GT models (if you don't believe me, look at both of their curb weights) compared to the GSX which seems light, but it's actually heavier weighing in at 3100+ pounds and the 3rd gen Eclipse despite being softer, was actually praised for it's handling which is also true for modified guys since there are a couple whom autocross with them, and they are usually in the top spots in rankings which are higher than some cars that were made for such a thing, that get beat.. Along with this, people seem to not understand that yes, it doesn't have a *_4G63_* but in our GS/RS models, we have the 2.4L *_4G64_* which is commonly used in high power Evo 8 engines to create a 2.3L stroker motor.. so pretty much, all you need to do is swap in a head from an Evo 8 or Kia GJ4S head onto our blocks and it instantly becomes a stroker motor, which essentially is the same way you can do it to a 4G Eclipse, but they use Evo 9 heads and such because the 4G69 they came with has Mivec, so it'd only be smart to use the same thing.. Also, one thing to note is that, even with the disadvantage, the GT/GTS cars have a very good amount of versatility to them which means, we can swap out the 3.0L 6G72 for a 3.5L Forged from factory 6G74 which is essentially the same engine with a larger displacement and bolts right up as a bolt in swap which is easily capable of 600+hp stock.. Same with the 6G75 which does take a lil more work to fit in but also will do and it doesn't matter if it's Mivec or Non Mivec cuz it's swappable either way and is also capable of 500+HP stock internals.. To go with this, the 3000GT blocks are also the exact same blocks as the ones that come on the 3G as far as 6G72 and 6G74 so whatever they use for internals and internals *_only,_* can be put into a 3G just the same.. Thus creating more of a option oriented build than just being stuck with 4G63/4 or nothing.. And funny thing is, our top 5 fastest Eclipses consists of guys with 6G74/6G75's and only one Evo 8 swapped 3G in flat 11's, and about two of them are AWD swapped as an added bonus.. There's even a guy as we speak who is building an overbored 3.9L Mivec 6266 Turbo AWD swapped 3G right now and it's on the verge of being finished and Hopefully well see what he has to offer too.. plus the AWD swap is much easier on 4G64 guys cuz they share parts directly with the Evo/GSX so they use stuff from those to make those AWD much easier to boot.. Edit: Oh and I almost forgot, our 5 speed manuals have been proven to take 800+ crank and they are solid as hell! The autos suck so don't get one, but all you need is a upgraded clutch and you be good! :) Now yes, on a surface level, they do suck, not much aftermarket, some are ricers, and some are complete idiots/assholes in the 3G land.. But when you actually dig deeper, they are very underrated and underappreciated cars when you truly look at it with an open mind..

Just about to pick up a gsx and will be doing at least one 😅

Damn accurate in high school literally all I thought was turbo mods and shit thanks helpful af

I'm 58 years old and the last street rod I had was 12 years ago and it was a 41 Willys Pro Street pick up

I’ve been doing some research on these, I’m a Honda/Toyota Guy. But I’ve been looking into these because they are quick and super cheap. I’ve heard the argument about it being the owners that cause them to be unreliable. But the legitimate problem I run into is that you could argue the same about Honda or Yota and they still run like hell. Like a K series Civic. My sister literally should’ve destroyed that car but when it was handed down to me it worked well. I really love the look of these cars and I hear good things about them when they are running. But idk I hear a lot of excuses as well. So what’s the true consensus here?

I have a 04 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT V6 all stock I just got the transmission rebuilt on it and I dont plan on putting really any mods on it because its not (what ive been told) a really tunable vehicle

[@novice_surgery]

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.

[@logangriffith9390]

I agree with the eclipse owners. I’m a senior in HS and I inherited a 3g eclipse from my grandparents (I’d like to get a 2g when I’m out of college) and just because of the fact that I own an eclipse as a daily driver, people assume that I don’t take care of my car or it’s poorly modified. Mine’s bone stock! They’re great cars, but unfortunately the drivers and owners have given them a bad reputation.

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

[@play875]

Haha about that Door Handle trick i just started doing that some weeks ago :D also what i really hate about the Eclpse the most are those 2 drain holes where the Rain/Water goes trough this shit is like always blocked with dirt and such also leaves alot of Water there

[@MiguelDsm]

on the hatch? i think theres supposed to be some plug on it to avoid that

[@play875]

@@MiguelDsm yeah the one's on the hatch really? Never heard of that now i'm interested haha

[@WeaponsFree86]

I had 2 DSMs about 13 years ago... they broke then too.

[@papas8403]

What is dsm? I had a 98 gs but there wasnt a dsm unless u mean rs. Or manual.

[@WeaponsFree86]

@@papas8403 dsm stands for diamond star motors. Look it up.

[@CurtisHagans]

I have one, it's a great gas saver and really fast. I'm also not a highschool kid. It's in perfect shape.

[@Scatpack23]

I was looking at this 98 eclispe GS with 150 thousand miles they said it runs good just needs the door handles replaced for 1200 you think it's worth it? It would be my daily driver about 35 miles to work each way.

[@ReelLYFE_TV]

Hell naw

[@jesusjesus7761]

I just bought my first eclipse gt 2001 it’s in good condition and I hope to learn a lot more from your videos

[@sucha603boy]

If you keep up with maintenance these cars are amazing, easy to work in and dollar for dollar can’t really be beat.

[@isaiahgomez7786]

I’m 17 and I bought a gsx, so far so good. You just need to be cautious and buy good parts

[@tony_5156]

I kinda really want a first gen eclipse :,) WRXs are literally everywhere here but I kinda wanna stick out from the crowd.

[@scottylozano1410]

I have the 4g GT It runs amazing and sounds so good. I'm in high school and hopefully I can buy a 350z next

[@shaneshannon6874]

It can still be awd swapped (a lot of work) or just throw a 4g63 head exhaust manifold and turbo on it..

[@rabbon-ithegenesis7169]

People don't realiase that these cars are over 20 years old. Cars are not made to last that long so things will begin to break. My 1g is gonna be 29 years old very soon. A multitude of other cars can only dream of being around that long.

[@MiguelDsm]

This is what new owners need to know before getting into the platform

[@mickeyascue9004]

Damn buddy I've got to say your car is really nice keep the videos coming

[@3mmanueldavila26]

I’m looking at a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse, is this a good car ?

[@jdelavi]

I can fit my kid on his Recaro Car seat on the back :)
