  This was my dream car and I have loved it, but sadly i don't have the money to care for it now.  The only real problem mechanically that i am aware of is the transmission it locks up while driving and after it did that twice I have not driven it just to get someone to tow it to their shop and just check out whats going on around here they wanted to charge me more than I can afford so I'm just trying to grow up and move on so Im getting rid of this beauty. it might not cost much at all to fix I'm not sure but I just don't have the time or money right now.  I was working on changing the interior from tan to all black, so the roof is still tan and so are the seats but the carpet is black now.  Also included is the extra carpet that is black and everything I was using to fix it up with extra pieces and everything you will need to finish the job. 
     
      As far as mechanical upgrades I have spent over $10,000 in the engine, new twin turbos that push 20 lbs (over 500 hp), I have the boost controller peak limit set to 21.9 so they could still push more if everything gets tweaked just right. the engine is all chromed out when getting all the engine upgrades so it looks great after a detail job. Also new headers, Intercooler, manifolds, intake, injectors, everything to handle the power of the engine  The next thing I was going to upgrade was the transmission but now I don't have the money or time. the clutch is a high performance one had that replaced a while back. 
      The cosmetic damage on the outside was from hydroplaning into a poll so there is a dent behind the passenger door and scuffs from curb on the driver side and det as well, one of the rims has a scuff also.  The front bumper has a scuff.  The passenger seat belt is also not attached but is just in the car.
      The sound system is custom built for this car and is one of a kind and just cost over $2,000.00. it has 2, 12inch subs and 2 amps in the trunk, the backseat was removed to make room for everything so the backseat is no more.  
      The car has a full Borla exhaust which sounds great on this car. The white pieces on the hood are new vents for better air flow just haven't been painted.
      The brakes were replaced and with new calipers and rotors everything. And new Tires as well.
      I do have a lot of paperwork the winner is welcome to have receipts, a CD service manual, instruction manuals ( Blitz SBC i-d Boost controller, Super airflow converter, Greddy full auto timer, Mechanical gauges) and a binder with instructions for everything from changing the antenna to removing the interior dash and side panels and installing gauges.
custom hood scoop one of a kind!!!
     
      Just selling the car as is, everything I have listed is all that I am aware of, I had this car for a long time and it has been great to me.  It does still run so it shouldn't be to hard to get it on a trailer it does still drive as far as I am aware of.  But it will have to be towed or trailered I wouldn't chance driving it home in case it locks up.

Do NOT bid if you cant follow the rules of Ebay and by that I mean you Must pay the deposit within 3 days and the rest in cash when you come to pick it up.  DO NOT try and do what the last guy tried and only want to pay when he came to check it out first. You Bid you Win you Bought it AS IS. Im not trying to hide anything This car is still amazing and if I had the money to get it checked out and fixed I would because it wont take much to make this into an ultimate street machine. I just dont want to deal with another Idiot like the last winner.  This is the second time I had to list this car.

If you part this car out the following are the value of some things
custom one of kind hood scoop
tires over $1000.00 (less than 500 miles)
wheels over $1000.00 ( they are from australia)
custom intercoolers - over 1000.00
Bolar exhaust - 1500.00
plus all the extras and new stuff (tubors, etc)

the pictures show the car with the front bumper removered to show the intercoolers and also for safer transportation, it is very easly to remove and replace about 8 screws


  I know this listing isn't very good I really hate to get rid of this car but I need to move on from it so if you have any questions just ask I can get some audio clips of the engine and blow off valve or exhaust just send me a message and Ill be happy to email you any pics you request or video clips.


SHIPPING:
you can pick up
or i will bring it to you,  the first 200 miles will be free then $1.00 per miles after that, but the car ( atleast 1/2)and shipping must be paid for first

Future Classic: 1990-2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Thu, Jun 22 2023

It was meant to be a premiere partnership, pregnant with possibilities: the alliance of a pair of global automotive powerhouses from Japan and America. Eventually the merger gave birth to a trio of highly-regarded sports coupes: the Mitsubishi Eclipse, the Eagle Talon and the Plymouth Laser, cars developed by the company that became Diamond-Star Motors. Although DSM’s beginnings can be traced back to a flirtation in 1970, when Chrysler Corporation took a 15-percent stake in Mitsubishi Motors, the partnership later culminated in a formal pairing in 1985. It was good timing: Chrysler was emerging from near-bankruptcy; the Japanese company just didnÂ’t have anything to please U.S. buyers, and with government-imposed “voluntary” import quotas, its supply lines were broadly restricted. Chrysler, looking to expand its lines, built a plant in Normal, Illinois, but, although Chrysler put up half the $650 million for the facility, it left management to Mitsubishi. And the Japanese facilities provided engines and transmissions. By the end of 1989, production of the Diamond-Star triplets — the Laser, Eclipse and Talon — was in full swing.

The Eclipse, supposedly named for an unbeaten 18th-century English racehorse that won 18 races in a row, was the shining star of the line. Because of its long run in series production, the genealogy of the Eclipse is worth discussing. Initially the car, designed at the Mitsubishi Motors North America Design Studio and introduced in 1990, was available in four trim levels: Eclipse, Eclipse GS, Eclipse GS-T (Turbo) and Eclipse GSX. It evolved first as a two-door coupe, later as a convertible or liftback, with front-wheel or all-wheel drive, and with engine choices including naturally aspirated fours, turbocharged fours and V6 options. One really needs a scorecard to chart the generations: 1st Gen (1990-1994), 2nd Gen (1995-1999), 3rd Gen (2000-2005), and 4th Gen (2006-2012). Before the EclipseÂ…well, was eclipsed, buyers of the third and fourth-gen cars could specify a 3.8L V6 engine as well as a four. This swank 2+2 sports car and its nearly identical cousin, the Eagle Talon TSi, emerged as hot rods for the Nineties, and tuners gave them full props for power.

Best gas mileage cars

Sun, Jan 28 2024

If you're looking for the cars with the best gas mileage, your best bets are hybrids and EVs, and with the latter, then it's a case of energy efficiency considering the lack of gasoline. But maybe you don't like the idea of an electrified vehicle. Maybe you're concerned about more complicated powertrains or new technologies. Maybe you're put off by the extra up-front cost of those vehicles. So what's the best way to get good fuel economy, without batteries? Well, we've pulled together the 10 most fuel-efficient cars that only run on gasoline. Best Gas Mileage Cars for 2024: 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage and Mirage G4 View 27 Photos Mitsubishi Mirage: 39 mpg combined When you can't be electrified, you need to achieve high efficiency with other strategies. In the case of the Mitsubishi Mirage, those come from low weight (just 2,084 pounds) and low power (just 78 horsepower). That's how the Mirage manages to top the list at 39 mpg combined. In the city it gets 36 mpg, and on the highway it manages 43, both of which are tops in this list, too. That just applies to the hatchback, though. The sedan would technically be second on the list with 37 mpg combined, but we're generally lumping together body styles. The other big draw of the Mirage is that it's incredibly cheap and has a long warranty. The base hatchback starts at $18,110 with destination, making it one of the cheapest cars on the road. And it has a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. So if you're looking for maximum frugality above literally all else, it's hard to top the Mirage. Honda Civic: 36 mpg combined While the Mirage wins technically, it makes many compromises to achieve its price and fuel economy. The rest of the list provides far better balancing of economy with being quality modern automobiles. And coming in second is the Honda Civic sedan (pictured at the top of this article) in EX trim with the turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder and CVT. This variant manages 33 mpg in the city, 42 on the highway and 36 combined. Going to the Touring trim drops fuel economy to 34 combined, and the 2.0-liter non-turbo engine gets between 33 and 35. The most efficient hatchback gets 35 mpg combined. The hatch is even available with a manual transmission, but it's also the least efficient (31 mpg). Then there's the Si and Type R, but with much more power and handling upgrades, they're basically different models. Regardless, almost every version of the Civic is quite frugal.

Long-serving Mitsubishi president Masuko to step aside

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

Long-struggling Mitsubishi Motors is reportedly preparing for a changing of the guard at home. According to Reuters, Osamu Masuko will step aside in favor of Tesuro Aikawa, currently the company's managing director. Masuko won't be leaving the fold entirely, however - he will take the role of chairman, displacing Takashi Nishioka, who will resign. The shakeup has not been confirmed by Mitsubishi, but word is that the changes will take effect April 1.
Mitsu's US troubles are no secret, but the brand's struggles in its home market haven't been quite so publicized. The company was bailed out by other arms of the Mitsubishi empire, and it just raised $2 billion this month to buy back preferred shares that were issued during the bailout. Masuko served as president for nearly ten years, during which the brand's US efforts utterly stalled out, recalls cropped up in Japan and an alliance with Daimler (which was DaimlerChrysler at the time) disintegrated.
According to Reuters, establishing the kind of alliances that will allow the brand to grow, such as its tie-up with Renault-Nissan, are key to Mitsu's long-term success. The thought is that an alliance will allow the brand to come up with some innovative models that won't be compromised by its lack of production scale. It looks like Aikawa has his work cut out for him.
