GROOVE IN THIS ECLIPSE: ONE OF A KIND
There are a lot of cars out there, but not many with as much soul and vibe as this Black Beauty. I bought her from Ken Pohlmann, my professor of digital audio when I was a music engineering student at the University of Miami. Check Ken out - he is one of the foremost experts in the field of digital audio, literally wrote "the book" on the subject, and has since worked creating custom tuning algorithms for car audio manufacturers (amongst other endeavors). He did not chose just any car, he chose this one. As a musician, this car has driven me to many memorable gigs and festivals, allowing me to open for Tipper, Bluetech, Orchard Lounge, Sub Swara and Elliot Lipp amongst others. This car runs on music! The details: this is a 1996 Mitsubish Eclipse RS, manual transmission, w/ 114k miles on it. I purchased it from Ken in 2007 with only 20k miles on it, and have performed regular maintenance on it ever since; I have major service records for it and have changed the oil every 3-4k miles. The engine and body are stock, and I will include the aftermarket stereo and speakers. The body shows some normal paint chips and a few dents from 17 years on the road, but is overall very clean and free of structural rust (largely thanks to spending it's first 10 years in Florida). The few cosmetic rust spots are shown in the pictures above. Specifics as follows: Aftermarket Audio System: - Kenwood Excelon KDC-X990 head unit (originally a $350 unit!) - Infinity Kappa components in the front (tweeters and crossover are installed, haven't replaced the stock door speakers yet but I'll include the Kappa replacements) - Infinity Kappa coaxials in the rear - Wiring in place for a sub and amp, just plug and play - Belkin Bluetooth Car Hands-Free Kit for wireless music and phone calls, plus phone charging (this is wired into the head-unit Aux in. If you prefer I can replace the bluetooth with a 1/8" stereo aux plug in the glove box) Recent/Major Service Items: - 9/13/13, ~113k mi. - New front brake rotors and tires, new rear brake drums - 3/8/13, ~108k mi. - Throttle body and intake manifold thoroughly cleaned and re-sealed - 2/15/13, ~107k mi. - New clutch master and slave cylinders - 10/19/12, ~100k mi. - New right front wheel hub assembly and drive axle shaft, right lower ball joint, and outer tie rod end. Replaced Oil pressure sending switch - 10/4/11, ~83k mi. - New timing belt, timing belt tensioner, and water pump - 5/21/10, ~60k mi. - New spark plugs, ignition cables, fuel filter, and PCV Valve - 12/28/07, ~29k mi. - New clutch (replaced after a clutch cylinder failed on me while I was driving through the Everglades). This same incident was what caused the aforementioned damage to the 1st gear synchro, but being as the transmission was still fully functional (and has been ever since), I could never justify the cost of a transmission replacement/rebuild just for a gear that's really only shifted into from a full stop. The upshot of this is that if you try to shift into first from a roll, you have to be gentle and slow otherwise the gears will grind. As you can see, many of the typical service items that come up around 100k miles have been addressed and the car is 100% drivable, it's just time for something with a little more space in the back. Thanks for looking! |

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV delayed until early 2016 in US
Thu, Jan 29 2015The Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid has been a noteworthy success for the Japanese brand with over 33,000 sales sold worldwide as of the summer of 2014. Unfortunately, the electrified crossover has seen continual delays for its planned North American debut. The latest news about the model pushes back its launch even more. The Outlander PHEV now isn't slated to go on sale in the US until roughly April 2016, according to Mitsubishi North America Executive Vice President Don Swearingen in Automotive News. Dealers are clamoring for the plug-in hybrid crossover, though. "That is going to be a vehicle that really sets us apart from the competition," said Ryan Gremore, 2015 chairman of the Mitsubishi National Advisory Board, to AN. Multiple postponements have plagued the Outlander PHEV in arriving to the US. It was once rumored to launch here in the fall of 2014, but a battery shortage pushed the date to 2015. Subsequently, a California mandate to fit a sensor to monitor degradation of the lithium-ion batteries caused another delay until late 2015 or early 2016. In foreign markets, the Mitsubishi CUV plug-in offers a 12-kWh battery and electric driving range of about 30 miles. However once sales actually begin, the US version is supposed to be completely different with a retuned hybrid system, which could alter these figures. The styling and interior are also supposed to see a change, possibly like the attractively reskinned PHEV Concept-S from the 2014 Paris Motor Show.
Renault shares hit six-year low on rumors of Nissan split
Mon, Jan 13 2020LONDON — Renault shares hit six-year lows on Monday after a media report that Nissan has accelerated secret contingency planning for a potential split from the French carmaker, the latest sign that the downfall of former boss Carlos Ghosn is roiling the 20-year alliance. At 1027 GMT, the shares were down 3.7%, languishing at the bottom of Paris' CAC 40 and the pan European STOXX 600 index. The plans include war-gaming a total split in engineering and manufacturing, as well as changes to Nissan's board, the Financial Times newspaper reported on Sunday citing several sources. Nissan's contingency planning has ramped up since the dramatic escape of Ghosn, the former head of the Renault-Nissan alliance, from Japan in late December, it said. The tie-up has been in management turmoil since Ghosn's arrest in Tokyo in November 2018 on allegations of financial misconduct, which he denies. He was awaiting trial in Japan when he fled to Lebanon. "We firmly believe the relationship between (Renault and Nissan) and hence the Alliance is broken and is likely beyond the point of repair," Evercore ISI analysts Arndt Elinghorst and Chris McNally wrote in a note on Monday. They have an 'underperform' rating on the French car company. Renault was not available for immediate comment. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
