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! |

2017 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV arrives in the US after a long wait
Thu, Mar 24 2016After years of delays, the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV will finally go on sale in the US this fall, and the plug-in hybrid crossover will make its debut to the US public at the New York Auto Show. The model was originally supposed to arrive here in 2014, but various problems kept pushing back the date. The Outlander PHEV uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor at each axle. A 12-kWh lithium-ion battery stores the energy. Depending on what the driver demands, the system can operate in three modes: full EV, series hybrid where the combustion engine acts as a generator for the battery, and parallel hybrid where the engine and motors work together. Mitsubishi isn't discussing US output or economy yet. Compared to the version in Europe and Japan, the company plans to tweak the Outlander PHEV for this market. The changes include things like removing support for CHAdeMO charging to due a lack of support here. When Mitsubishi showed the PHEV to journalists earlier this year, the styling was nearly identical to the standard Outlander. The only minor changes were the addition of the charging port and different badges. The Outlander PHEV will also be available with an array of safety and infotainment tech. For example, customers will be able to order a multi-camera system, Forward Collision Mitigation with pedestrian detection capability, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and an infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV MAKES U.S. DEBUT AT THE 2016 NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW • 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV to go on sale in United States in fall 2016 • Already the top-selling PHEV in Europe, Outlander PHEV is the world's first plug-in hybrid SUV • Outlander PHEV delivers SUV capabilities and EV fuel economy NEW YORK, NY March 24, 2016 – Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) today showed the much-anticipated production model of the all-new 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) at the 2016 New York International Auto Show. The Outlander PHEV is a perfect culmination of Mitsubishi's history of automotive excellence: 50 years of electromobility and decades of four-wheel drive technology honed on the international rally circuit. Featuring a highly efficient 2.0-liter gas engine and two high-performance electric motors, and Mitsubishi's superior Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is a very capable PHEV.
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is fourth plug-in to reach 100,000 sales
Tue, May 3 2016After what seems like a lifetime of delays, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV will finally arrive in this US in " late summer, early fall." What's taken so long? Well, Mitsubishi had to sell 100,000 of the big plug-in hybrids in Europe and Japan first, apparently. You could see the milestone coming, since sales have been strong in the markets where the Outlander PHEV was available, with around two-thirds of its sales coming from Europe, Hybrid Cars says. When we spoke with Don Swearingen, executive vice president of Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA) earlier this year, he said that sales of around 200-400 Outlander PHEVS a month (10-20 percent of the Outlander's total US monthly sales) would be, " a very good number." Inside EVs says that the Okazaki Plant where the Outlander PHEV is made, " is running at full swing." As Hybrid Cars points out, the Outlander PHEV is only the fourth plug-in car ever to sell 100,000 units. The others are the Nissan Leaf (roughly 218,000 sales worldwide), the Tesla Model S (120,000), and the Chevy Volt (110,000). The next likely candidate to cross this threshold is the Prius Plug In – it has around 75,000 sales – if we count the upcoming Prius Prime updates as the same vehicle. Related Video:
2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV First Drive Review: Slightly rough diamond
Mon, Jan 16 2023The Mitsubishi Outlander was one of the first small, affordable plug-in hybrid SUVs, yet it lost ground in recent years with the introduction of strong offerings from Toyota, Ford, Hyundai and Kia. The main reason was that the regular Outlander wasn’t especially competitive, so once the PHEV finally had company, there was nowhere to go but down. Well, thereÂ’s an all-new and dramatically improved Outlander now, and finally, its plug-in hybrid version is here to make up that lost ground. Like the gas-only version, the new 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV impresses with a stylish, spacious and suitably modern interior, and generally comfortable and quiet demeanor. The plug-in hybrid goes significant further, though, with more power and refinement, plus a strong electric range. There are a couple weak points that keep it from being best-in-class (like the gas-only version), but depending on your needs, the Outlander PHEV could still be the green compact SUV for you. The Outlander PHEV has a powertrain that's extremely similar to its predecessor. A naturally aspirated 2.4-liter four-cylinder now makes 134 horsepower rather than the previous model's 148 horsepower. While it can provide direct power to the wheels, itÂ’s most often employed as a motor generator for the front and rear electric motors (much as a Honda hybrid operates). Both of those motors are also more potent than before. The front motor picked up 20 horsepower and 88 pound-feet of torque to make 114 ponies and 188 lb-ft. The rear makes 40 more horsepower for 134, though torque remains the same at 144 pound-feet. The result is a grand total of 248 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. That's more than the Ford Escape PHEV, and more torque than the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage plug-ins. The Toyota RAV4 Prime's 302 horsepower bests them all. In addition to more power, the Outlander PHEV can now go 38 miles on a charge –14 more than before thanks to a pack that has grown from 13.8 kilowatt-hours to 20 kWh. Once again, thatÂ’s more range than Ford, Hyundai and Kia, though less than the Toyota. Mitsubishi also offers an unusual feature not available on those competitors: DC fast charging. WeÂ’re not sure how necessary a DC fast charger is on a vehicle that can run on gas in a pinch, but if youÂ’d like a topped-up battery and donÂ’t want to wait overnight to get it from the plug in your garage, why not?
