I will always have a special place in my heart for this car, it was at the beginning of the import explosion and stood out as one of the few 4WD 4 cylinder cars, making it one of the few imports that could tear off the line better than most Trans ams and corvettes and I have always loved the interior for some reason, so nice.

At 17 lbs it puts about 300 to the ground. Also extremely reliable.

Awesome Review David, long time Mitsubishi owner, have had several 1G DSM's over the years. Great cars when you drive them and take care of them right, a good friend of mine basically taught me how to work on cars properly by letting me help him build his 1000+awhp Talon (Video of it racing a Liter bike on my channel). Strict Maintenance and quality parts is definitely the secret to making a 90's Mitsubishi reliable. There was a time where the 1G DSM was the king of underdogs, killing 4 digit power Supras, and Twin turbo Vipers on the street's back in the day...Most of the owners and builders of those DSM's now own most of the well known GTRs/Shops you see setting records on youtube.

Interesting review; the problem with reviewing cars that are 20+ years old is the baggage. DSMs, especially 1G cars back in their prime were very reliable cars, both stock and modified- WHEN THEY WERE MODIFIED CORRECTLY BY THOSE THAT KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING. The issue was after these car were older, racked up lots of miles and abuse and were modified by multiple amateurs cutting corners. This is true with any of the classic imports- 240SX, Preludes, Civics, etc, and it’s now happening to those bug-eyed WRXs and Evo 8s. No car or engine is impervious to deferred maintenance, endless clutch drops, or a barrage of eBay parts stuck on by a 16 year old in the middle of the night. And 1g cars rarely if ever crank-walked; 96-early 98 cars could.

I got tired of fighting it, but when it was running right I was in love with it .. awesome review.. nice to see one still going well and putting a smile on a face.. mine was black inside stock.. kinda rare interior I think hardly ever see black inside.

Memories, bought a new 98' GST and within 2 years I had a Forced Performance Reds turbo, HKS 272 cams, ported head, 3 inch turbo back Thermal Research ex Quaife diff, Tial wastegate vented to the atmosphere (that would get your attention at full throttle) and quite a bit of other go fast parts installed as well. Tuned it with a DSM link (the original version). That thing was a beast on the highway with the long gears it had. To have 467 whp in the year 2000 and only weighing 3k lbs (the fwd's were lighter then the awd's) it hurt a lot of feelings and was a handful at full boost.

I have one with 58k all original miles that has no idea what rust or snow or salt or rain or clear coat peel means.... Complete garage queen, but like you said... You just don't find them in this condition anymore!

Great review! It made me happy because I am getting close to finishing a build on a red 91 gsx that looks just like this one. We are shooting for 450 at the wheels.

Danggg 94k is great! My 95 GST has 96k! I love that you finally done a "DSM" review! Keep it up bro!

Have an 1992 GSX, bone stock, 129k miles. This car is something else. If you take care of him, he will treat you well.

Great video, really enjoyed it! I'm a fellow 1g GSX owner, and I love seeing videos like this, it gives a lot of validity to these cars and shows people that they're not all shitboxes. I know you said the car has BC coilovers on it, I'm curious what are the specs on them? The car looks like it rides really nicely. One thing to point out: there was never a non-turbo AWD DSM in Europe, or anywhere else for that matter. There was a Galant GSX, which was sold in the US, and is even rarer than the GVR4, and that was non-turbo AWD, but that's it. Most DSM's in Europe were a 2.0L non-turbo FWD, some very rare exceptions of AWD turbo models were imported in...they were called the Eclipse GSR-4 instead of GSX.

After posting this I began to doubt my knowledge a little bit. I did see that Wikipedia mentions a GS DOHC AWD version sold in Europe. In almost 20 years of being into these cars, I've never seen or heard of that. I'm still skeptical about its existence.

The Bc coils I have on there are the Br series, Spring rates are 12 and 10. I've about maxed out the lowering on the strut

Thanks for the reply! The ride looked really smooth in the video. Is is actually that smooth? I really like your car. It made me want to put my 1g back to stock, minus suspension and cooling mods. Haha

+Tony Bird they are awesome coils, little stiff if the dampering is to high, but on a soft setting. Feels like Oem. When he did the review the coils were only a week old, since than they have worn in and feel much better

Good to know! I appreciate the info. Enjoy that car, and don't sell it, whatever you do!

+ThatDudeInBlue phenomenal review, dude! 👍👍 I'm personally super stoked for you finally being able to find a good [running] DSM. I've been waiting for you to review an Eclipse/Lazer/Talon since I subscribed roughly two years ago. That's coming from a dude who massively prefers Subie. Anyhow, sweet review dude. Good to see you're doing better now.

i used to LOVE killing these things with my '63 Bug back in HS in the 90's! There weren't too many stock vehicles that could touch me though, 14's back then was quick.

I own a 2nd gen Talon, with a Harley muffler on it. Surprisingly sounds amazing

Dude I was obsessed with the first gen Eclipse. I wanted one so bad, but like you I couldn't find one that was running.

I had a 1991 1.8 SOHC that was slow as molasses, but I bought it with 42,000 (!!!) original miles and after some initial maintenance it ran like a top. The interior was like stepping into another dimension it was so perfect.

Thanks for the review man. It reminded me of my old 91 Eagle Talon TSI AWD.
