I've decided it's time to sell my Eclipse for something different. Has only 146,xxx miles, no rust, starts immediately every time. Features sun roof, nice leather interior with no rips or cracking, power everything, hot heat and cold A/C, 3.0L V6 is good on gas, automatic transmission with slap-shift, 18" TSW rims in hyper silver with keyed lug nuts, 5mm spacers in the rear, two-tone gloss and flat black paint, spray-tinted Euro tail lights. Less than a thousand miles on the oil change. Has a Kenwood CD receiver that is MP3/USB/I-Pod compatible. Also comes with the stock 17" rims and lug nuts, though the rims are in rough condition and need tires; throw some snow tires on them and you're set for winter while keeping the 18's from the salt.
New in the last 3,000 miles:
Tires
Timing belt/tensioners/pulleys
A/C and Power Steering Belts
Water Pump
Radiator
Fail-Safe Thermostat
Front Lower Control Arms/Ball Joints
Tie Rods
Front Wheel Bearings
Could still use new front shocks, I just never got around to it. I replaced the rear hatch, so submodel badge on hatch states RS from the donor car, and I installed the spoiler to the new hatch. The bumper and hood are beat up from the previous owner (I zip-tie stitched cracks in the bumper) but both could easily be found at a junk yard or online on the cheap. A few other unnoticeable dings throughout, some scratches. Windshield is cracked, though not in the driver's line of vision. I was quoted $150 out the door by Safelite to have a new one installed, again I just never got around to it. Also recently developed an exhaust leak but is not too loud. With some TLC this could easily be a very nice car again.

Mitsubishi boss confirms new Mirage for US; i EV enduring dismal sales
Mon, 12 Nov 2012
By March, Mitsubishi expects to have sold just 55,000 cars in the US this fiscal year. That's a tiny sum - by comparison, Honda has sold over 276,000 Civic models thus far this year - and that's just one vehicle, not an entire brand. Mitsubishi president Osamu Masuko recognizes this is not a tenable position, and he's hoping the company will shift 80,000 units next fiscal year. Warding off speculation, Masuko has repeatedly stated that his company will not retreat from the US market like competitor Suzuki.
We reported on one part of Masuko's plan, the updated Outlander, and now he has confirmed that the small Mirage will be sold in the US beginning next September. The cut-price hatchback is selling well enough that Mitsu's Thailand plant is at its full capacity of 150,000 cars. "And even at that level it's not keeping up with orders," Masuko tells Automotive News. Masuko went on to say the plant would be expanded next year to handle an extra 50,000 units. We can also expect the Outlander plug-in early 2014.
Mitsubishi Evo snow frolic caught by aerial camera
Tue, 30 Apr 2013Guido Tschugg is a professional mountain biker and a Red Bull-sponsored athlete in downhill and four-cross. He's also a fan of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and drifting in the snow, and with the help of filmmaker Mario Feil and drone videographers airv8, the rally car and the powder are combined to glorious effect.
We could continue talking about it, but that would delay you from enjoying the two minutes of frosty beauty in the video below.
Limited-edition Mitsubishi 311RS Evo X coming to Minneapolis Auto Show [w/video]
Fri, 08 Mar 2013It's not terribly often that we have news to report coming out ahead of the Minneapolis Auto Show. We say that not to disparage the Twin Cities, which are lovely, but new product reveals are few and far between for the show. This year, however, it seems that event will play host to the debut of a rather special limited edition Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. Though not coming directly from the Mitsu factory, we think the 311RS shows loads of potential for Evo fanatics.
The 311RS is the brainchild of circuit racer Ryan Gates, who has apparently spent the last three years developing what he believes is an Evo perfect for both racing and road driving. Starting life as a bog-standard Evo X, the Gates team has swapped out the factory intake, intercooler and exhaust system for more potent AMS pieces; resulting in output figures of 353 horsepower and nearly 359 pound-feet of torque. A new suspension from JRZ, brakes from Girodisc and 18-inch custom Rays wheels shod with high-performance Nitto tires represent significant updates to the underpinnings, as well.
Of course, the 311RS is also rocking a full body kit, too, with a more aggressive front air dam and a subtle lip added on to the stock rear wing. The blue and white racing livery, with matching blue wheels, looks racy without being too childish, we think.
