One thing a lot of people fail to mention about these cars is like you end up working on them a lot, HOWEVER the trade off is that they're pretty easy to work on! As a Eagle Talon Tsi owner it's been so fun to drive, work on, and just be in the community. What's terrifying about being in this community tho is most people know more about my car than I do 😅 I don't regret buying one at all, I never thought a car could be so fun

i have a 1997 eclipse gsx, was a florida car, always stored in a garage. in a way it was my "garage find" because i hunted the owner down when the car was parked at a shop for months. called the owner when i found out who it was and asked if he would sell. its going to be a year in august that ive owned it. lots of mechanic work and maintenance is involved, but if you take care of it it will take care of you. had to change alternator, cv shafts, battery, and much more. you really need patience with these cars. currently, its my daily driver. its well worth it, like i said if you take care of it, it will take care of you!

Had a C5 Z06.... then bought a supercharged C6 Corvette. But the car I always wanted was a 97-99 GSX Eclipse. So I made the decision to sell my C6 and began my search. 6mo, a plane ride, and $17k later I had a 500whp 98 GSX Eclipse. Even at that price I am still dealing previous owner issues. But I have no regrets and it is coming along nicely.

I've had my drivers license for half a year now and I'm 28 so yeah, a bit late even though I'm a car freak since I was a kid. That's part of the reason why I got a 2g 1997 eclipse gs as a first car. It has a NA 4g63 on it, and while it isn't the fastest thing on the road (about 145hp), it's plenty enough for a first car and a novice like me, it feels sporty, it's light and nimble, it's fun, it's rev happy and makes fun noises, and well, it's one of the cheapest car icons you can get if you are a car enthusiast. It's also very well kept, and i would definitely like to turbo it since being an NA 4g63 I've read than it's waaay easier than turboing a 420a, but here in europe its a bit more difficult to do stuff like that than in the US. Anyways, its a beauty and a very cheap little sports car even without a turbo, so the gst/gsx must be a joy to drive.

I think the 2GB is one of those designs that the factory got right from the jump. With the aggressive lines and the wide mouth up front there's not many cars from the 90's that compare with its looks. Especially without any outside modification. That included with the 4G63 and the pedigree that comes along with that, I don't understand why the popularity of these cars has dropped. I have one that's been completely restored and I get stopped constantly for pictures or just conversation. I love my car and I can't see ever getting rid of it!

2GA has been and will always be my first love. DSMs are really a weekend toy car and shouldn’t be daily driven cars. They are like any toy car or hobby, it’s just for fun and you will sink money into them. I’m getting one for nostalgic reasons, like my old red 2GA GSX. My daily is an accord V6 and I’m getting a new tundra when they hit the lot.

Perfect review my guy. I started with my EG hatch and now I also have a 98 GSX. For the GSX, because it's turbo and AWD there's a lot to go wrong and a lot more to maintain and learn/research. That's why I agree with your process of starting with the GS and then building it out. Having a second car to drive will take off a lot of the stress. Loving your videos dude, I also enjoy that cool RGB shift technique that you do, give me extra of that haha video idea: compilation of a bunch of the cinematics you've done, no vlog

Loving the vlogs/videos. For my review on the Eclipse, my only gripe with it is just that parts are discontinued for the car so looking for things is hectic. 2g is my dream car tho so anything it hits at me I won't give up. As for the types of videos, the videos you have always done I've loved but to not make it vague. Car meets, night rides, cruises, working on the cars, hanging out with Illestevo or the DSM guys, etc. You just bring good vibes so its awesome to watch and support you in videos and the merch.

been into dsm's since 1994 when i picked up my talon tsi in 94 and raced the hell out of it beating it to death to a point it finally went to the crusher. DSM's were started in 89 and stopped being built in 99 after that mitsy took over the factory to produce the eclipses after 99 as the third gens and forth gens. they in the final year of the eclipse they built some sneaky forth gens that were turboed with the 2.4 engines which made those who picked the last ones up remember the old days since they were a beast again but only made a few of them.

Entered the 2G life late in life and paid 2k on Craig's list, turned around and had a shop put a used motor on my RS/420a after realizing it had an HG leak using more coolant than normal. Drove it until the HG went out again and had to let it sit for 5 years until I had the funds to try again. I had a shop put in a rebuilt in 2018 and daily'd it until Covid when I only took it out on the weekend for errands while working at home. Earlier this year I had some suspension work done after the squeaks and squawks got too me, it was time after nearly 300k miles on the chassis and 25 years old to boot. Over the years I have pulled in some of the GS trim and features from the pick-n-pull, so I affectionally call it an RS/GS, N/A. This car is so much fun to drive, it is Manual and has an aftermarket sunroof similar to the stock ones put in with Barcelona Red Pearl coloring and low spoiler. I drive to work among a sea on Tesla's that make me smile knowing mine is paid for in full and I get to and from work just the same...

I HAVENT SEEN another spyder since I got mine, NOT ONE. I've only seen 2 or 3 2g Eclipses. What's yours look like, do you have any KZbin vid??

To me and from my experience it’s not waiting for things to break but fixing it before it happens you have to expect things are going to break being it’s 20+ year old cars. Some stuff breaks and you can’t except it but there are tons of things you can check before it goes bad that one of the ways I prevent them from being “unreliable” and obviously maintenance oil changes and what not but these cars can be real reliable with care.

Keep it going Miguel, your videos can be addicting and your passion for DSMs is infectious. I bought my red 1998 GS 420a in 2004 in Hawaii. The previous owner had brought it over from Florida in stock condition. I have since then replaced the cams (Stage 1) as I could not find the stock replacements. Your are spot on about its bubbly curves, as every time I take her out she draws in the attention. Btw, could you recommend a mechanic that would change out the heat exchanger behind the dash?

I'm an Eclipse fan boy. Lol... im on my 3rd DSM, and I drive an 07 GT 6 speed with a manual as my daily.. I got a 99 gs oz eclipse. Black on black. I'm close to turboing my car with a Hahn kit, as well as manual swap. Put a ton of money into it, and been looking for more rare and discontinued parts for it. Love every aspect of it: modifying, maintaining, personalizing, and of course driving. So many things you can change with a little bit of fab work, like getting thicker 3rd gen rear sway bar to fit with the lower arms and 7/8" spacers on the rear subframe. And of course, Outlander sport front brakes. Lol

1990 first year. 200 hp turbo models. No dsm was released in 1989. Chrystler stopped working on the designs in g2 but everything was set for years the partnership officially ended in 1998. With the end of both the Talon and Laser line.

The 2gs look great but the 1ga/b black top that looks like a 240sx is the epitome of 90s JDM design lets be honest! Former nissan/infiniti guy but I just picked up a 92 talon with only 70,000 miles on it (sat in a garage for a decade!). It's only the fwd N/A set up but 16g turbo upgrade coming soon, I'll run at 7-8psi and might only get 220-250hp out of but I will love every moment of it.

Miguel, I think you hit the nail on the head with everything you said. I've owned some form of DSM for upwards of 20 years now and they can be fun and they can be reliable. I gotta ask though man, I love you and the guys do with the GS/RS models of the car. Do you have any friends that own a GSX? It would be great to see similar content on a true GSX.

My second car I owned was a 2011 lancer I had plans to supe it up but had to sell it to by the wife a SUV. But now we have a 2022 outlander which is still a nice car. I now also recently got myself a 2007 eclipse spyder GT which I’m planning to fix up as best I can to make look more old school!

I bought a 1997 Eclipse gst for my first project car. It "needed an engine" and it would be good to go. Fast forward almost 2 years and I haven't driven it once. Wiring was spaghetti, engine I swapped in was bad (seller wasn't honest), rocker was bent up, rug was infested with a mouse, all suspension was shot, steering rack was shot, ect ect. I've bought 5 dsm's for parts, rebuilt an engine, and spent around 7k worth of suspension upgrades, brake upgrades, ecmlink, black leather interior swap, ect ect....and it still doesn't run. I could have spent that amount on an rsx type s and it would have outperformed a dsm in any category you could throw at it. That being said, I would never sell my dsm. It is my first car and I love it to death. It may be an extremely frustrating money pit, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
