 I am selling a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST Spyder. I am going to try to summarize the car as best as possible. Let me start by saying that I am the third owner and that my friend bought it from the original owner last year and barely drove it. Him and I have put a lot of work into the car as far as small details to get the car back to where it needed to be. This car is very rare. It was well taken care of and was never modified or abused. The stock intake, intercooler, blowoff valve, etc. are still there. This car will make a perfect project or just a daily driver without needing a thing. The car has received fresh plugs, valve cover gasket and grommets, new accessory belts, new front rotors, calipers and pads, fresh pads in the rear. The previous owner had changed the top with new seals throughout and has never leaked that I know of. The car drives on four matching and almost new Continental DWS tires which are great in the snow. The clutch grabs perfectly and was changed at around 120k. The only things wrong with the car that I can think of that need to be done if you are a perfectionist is to respray the body cladding on the driver side. The car has perfect shock towers as I know that this is a problem with these vehicles. The car does have some surface rust creeping up on the lower door jams on both sides underneath the side skirts as well. The original radio was pulled and replaced with a pioneer head unit with an aux jack. I cannot think of anything else to say about this car other than that it has plenty of life left in it. I am selling the car "As Is." The car will last you a long time and can be driven with full confidence.
Please bid with confidence. I have a reserve price set. I will need a $500 deposit 24 hours after the end of auction and full amount paid within 72 hours via Paypal. I reserve the right to end the auction early for any reason.

Mitsubishi Evo successor on hold?

Fri, 22 Nov 2013

Just take one look at Mitsubishi's latest vehicles, both concept and production, and it's obvious that fuel economy - not performance - reigns supreme. With this in mind, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that Caradvice.com.au is suggesting that Mitsubishi is putting development of future performance models (like the 2013 Lancer Evolution GSR shown above) on hold as the company focuses on electric and plug-in vehicles.
In speaking with Mitsubishi managing director of product projects Ryugo Nakao at the Tokyo Motor Show, the publication says that the entire Lancer redesign is on hold, meaning that the aging Lancer Evo and Ralliart will have to contend with fresh performance models like the Volkswagen GTI and Subaru WRX. That being said, the article doesn't completely shut the door on another Evo - in fact, it goes on to indicate that when a new generation does hit the streets, it will almost certainly do so with some sort of electric-assisted powertrain, an oft-repeated rumor that got its legs as early as 2010.

Mitsubishi Lancer, Outlander Sport named 2013 IIHS Top Safety Picks

Thu, 27 Dec 2012

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has added a pair of Mitsubishi models to its ever-growing list of 2013 Top Safety Picks, giving the prestigious safety award to the 2013 Outlander Sport and Lancer (sedan and Sportback). Both models make a return visit to the list, but with 117 cars now on the list and IIHS crash standards getting tougher just about every, this is big news for the small Japanese automaker.
Among small SUVs, the Outlander Sport is just one of nine vehicles in this segment to be named a Top Safety Pick, while the Lancer's name is surrounded by 28 other compact coupes, sedans and hatchbacks in the highly competitive small car segment. The Top Safety Pick status does not apply to the Lancer's Ralliart or Evolution variants, and neither the Outlander Sport nor the Lancer were subjected to the new small frontal offset crash test that would have resulted in the new Top Safety Pick+.

Mitsubishi recalling 166k cars, crossovers over stall risk

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

Mitsubishi is recalling 165,923 vehicles in the US because it's possible for the drive belt to detach from their engines, potentially causing a stall. Specifically, the campaign covers 2008-2011 model-year examples of the Lancer, Lancer Evolution (pictured above) and Outlander as well as the 2009-2011 Lancer Sportback and 2011 Outlander Sport. All of the affected models use some version of the brand's 4B1 four-cylinder engine.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the engine pulley can wear causing the drive belt to slip off. If this happens, the alternator, cooling fan and hydraulic power steering can all stop working, and obviously, any of those things could make driving unsafe. However, if the belt detaches, then a warning light should come on in the cabin.
To fix the problem, Mitsubishi dealers will replace the original belt with a redesigned rubber part and will inspect the pulley. If worn, it'll also be replaced free of charge.
