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 Evolution nameplate evolves into an electric SUV
Wed, Sep 20 2017Let's imagine a Mitsubishi enthusiast awakens after having slept a decade. At first he isn't alarmed at all, since the Lancer he last saw before taking a long nap still looks the same. The Galant is long gone, but that doesn't bother him much. The first shock he experiences is when he realizes the Eclipse name has been reserved for a 2018 crossover — so would it be best not to tell him the vaunted Evolution nameplate will be used in an electric SUV? That's the plan according to Mitsubishi, as the carmaker announced it will show its e-Evolution Concept at the 45 th Tokyo Motor Show next month. Mitsubishi speaks of a watershed moment taking place at the show, as it "will wave the flag under new circumstances to usher a new era of longterm growth and sustainable development, returning to where it belongs to better embrace the future." In short, electric SUVs. According to Mitsubishi, the e-Evolution is a preview for a "low-slung aerodynamic SUV Coupe," and it will be a high-performance, all-wheel-drive vehicle with electric power. Of course, the very name Evolution stands for continuously evolving vehicles, so a change of approach from turbocharging winged Lancers isn't that ill-advised. The included photo was distributed under the file name "1st Teaser," so perhaps we will see more photos as the showtime gets nearer. Related Video:
No one wants to buy Mitsubishi's only US plant
Fri, Jan 8 2016Mitsubishi Motors will very likely close its factory in Normal, IL, later this year after failing to find another company in the auto market to take over its only manufacturing site in the US. "We have given up looking for an automaker to buy the plant, but we are looking for possible buyers from other industries," a Mitsubishi spokesperson told Reuters. Mitsubishi announced plans to leave the site in 2015 to shift its business strategy toward Asia. The factory started as a joint venture with Chrysler in 1988 and was the only plant from a Japanese automaker in the US with a UAW-represented workforce. This was allegedly a sticking point when finding a buyer because other companies in the industry didn't want to take on the union employees' contract. The Normal factory ended assembly of the Outlander Sport in November 2015 and laid off 1,000 workers at that time. The site will continue to make car parts until May, and then Mitsubishi will let go of the remaining 250 employees. The costs of shutting down the factory could be as high as 30 billion yen ($255 million), but a company spokesperson wouldn't confirm that figure to Reuters. Mitsubishi's fortunes seem on the upswing in the US as of late. The company's deliveries jumped 22.8 percent in 2015 to a total of 95,342 vehicles, and the last fiscal year brought the automaker's first operating profit in this region in seven years.

Carlos Ghosn sues Nissan-Mitsubishi in the Netherlands
Sat, Jul 20 2019AMSTERDAM — Carlos Ghosn has launched a court case in the Netherlands against Japanese carmakers Nissan Motor and Mitsubishi Motors, who ousted him as chairman of their alliance last year on charges of embezzlement, Dutch newspaper NRC reported on Saturday. Ghosn is seeking 15 million euros ($16.8 million) in damages from the carmakers, as grave mistakes were made when he was sacked, NRC reported, citing his lawyer. "In the Netherlands, if you want to fire an executive you have to first tell him what he's being accused of, and you have to provide him with the evidence for the accusations. Neither of those things has happened," lawyer Laurens de Graaf told NRC. Ghosn fell from grace late last year when he was arrested in Japan and sacked by Nissan on charges of financial misconduct, which he denies. He has also been fired as the CEO and chairman of French carmaker Renault. Ghosn was freed in April from jail in Japan on a $4.5 million bail. Among other charges of fraud and misconduct, Nissan and Mitsubishi have said Ghosn improperly received $9 million in compensation from their joint venture. Suspect expenses Ghosn made when he chaired Renault and Nissan amounted to about 11 million euros, Renault's board said in June. Ghosn holds French, Lebanese and Brazilian citizenship, but opted for the fiscally more friendly Netherlands as his tax domicile in 2012. The holding company for the Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance is also incorporated in the Netherlands. The district court in Amsterdam is reviewing the case but has not set a trial date yet, NRC said.
