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 AR Concept continues a wacky, wonderful tradition [w/video]
Thu, 21 Nov 2013Mitsubishi enjoys a long history of thinking outside the literal box when it comes to designing minivans and people movers. Remember the Mitsubishi Van, a.k.a. Delica? How about the Chariot, better known to us as the Colt Vista? The Expo and Expo LRV, the twin models that succeeded it? These were all left-of-center takes on the MPV genre, and while they never sold in large volumes, we can't help but look back at them with a mix of bemusement and respect for their oddball character. Who knows? A production version of this AR Concept could be next.
According to Mitsubishi, "the comfort of a minivan and active personality of an SUV are merged at the highest levels" in the Concept AR. Us? We just think this mild hybrid concept looks kind of neat, even if it's just putting on off-road airs with its elevated ride hight, faux skid plates and black-lipped wheel wells.
Hardware-wise, this Active Runabout is less showcar and more 'real world,' with the front wheels drawing their power from a 134-horsepower, 1.1-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine paired with a 10-kW electric motor used as a belt starter generator (read: mild hybrid). A continuously variable transmission handles shifting duties.
Junkyard Gem: 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante LS
Tue, Jul 17 2018While Chrysler started selling Dodge- and Plymouth-badged Mitsubishis in the United States starting with the 1971 model year, Americans couldn't buy new cars with the Mitsubishi name until 1983. Thirty-five years later, Mitsubishi is down to just four models on these shores, all of which cater to the lower end of the market. However, from 1992 through 2004, Mitsubishi tackled the luxury market with its Diamante big sedan. Here's a very rare second-to-last-model-year Diamante, spotted in a Denver-area wrecking yard. I have documented plenty of Mitsubishis during my junkyard explorations, but these late Diamantes have been tough to find (though I have spotted a Diamante wagon). Sales of this car weren't great given that Mitsubishi's name didn't exactly resonate with luxury shoppers. Not when there was a Lexus ES around that did the same thing with a proper premium badge and brand. Second-generation Diamantes sold outside of Japan were built in Australia. Mitsubishi got its money's worth with the 6G7 series of V6 engines, starting with the 1986 Galant and continuing in trucks to the present day. Endless Chryslers of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s also received 6G72 power. This car has the DOHC 3.5-liter 6G74 version, rated at 205 horsepower. The interior is pretty nice, in its turn-of-the-21st-century manner, and the fact that this car has an ignition key means that it's probably an insurance total or a dealership trade-in. The nose shows evidence of a fender-bender, and that's enough to doom a forgotten luxury car like this. Next stop: The Crusher.

2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross gets standard all-wheel drive
Wed, Apr 6 2022Following a significant refresh for the 2022 model year, the 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross subcompact crossover is mostly the same. Except now it's only available with all-wheel drive. All of the front-drive variants have been dropped. A side effect of this decision is that the Eclipse Cross now has a significantly higher base price. Last year's ES with front-drive started at $25,180 including destination. The new all-wheel-drive ES starts at $27,235. But compared with the old all-wheel-drive ES, the new one is just $455 more. Pricing for the whole lineup is below. ES: $27,235 LE: $28,685 SE: $29,685 SEL: $30,935 For that extra $455, the ES now includes LED headlights and fog lights. The LE trims and above also get new available 18-inch alloy wheel designs. The SE gets a silver front bumper trim piece, and the SEL's lower side trim is body color.
