  • ECLIPSE. The most underrated tuner car of all time. Responsible for setting off the US tuner scene and immortalized by The Fast and The Furious franchise, the Eclipse has seen it all. See how it all began with James Pumphrey; as he explains the origins behind the DSM name, the partnership with Chrysler that gave rise to the Eclipse, and it’s influence on car culture as a whole.
    “I see a cold air intake, it’s got a NOS fogger system, the T4 turbo Dominic, I see an AIC controller, it has direct port nitrous injection…” “Yeah and a stand alone fuel management system...not a bad way to spend ten thousand dollars”

    Ive got a 1991 Mitsubishi eclipse, its been an amazing little car. Ive owned it for about 9 going on 10 years now. It was my first car when I turned 16. I received the Eclipse from my uncle who was just wanting to get rid of it due to the timing being off and was just tired to dealing with it sooo.. i got it.. lol Thing was sitting under a tree covered in bird crap and was just a sad little car.. LOL I knew nothing about DSMs at the time. Long story short. He helped me get her running once i got the brand new timing parts and the rest is history. Grandfather (R.I.P) who was on his death bed gave me his remaining money to help me buy the new parts.. So you can imagine the attachment to this car. Restored the whole car from top to bottom with custom paint and body work. Looked like it came right off the show room floor. Sadly how ever.. i wrecked it back in October of 2016 due to a truck not having tail lights... Sad day.. but all was not lost! Got a new core support and put her back together once again and is now on the roads once more. Just gotta save up the money to get her painted again. Awesome vid. Made me even more proud of my DSM!

    I'm an old fart, I was a kid in the infancy of the tuner scene in the early 90s. When the 1st Gen Eclipse hit the streets, it quickly began to terrorize the streets and the tracks. I remember being at Long Beach Terminal Island racetrack when a friend of mine ran his modified 91 GSX Eclipse and the desbelief from all the V8 guys as he handed their ass to them with each pass! It was awesome!

    Thank you James, Thanks For Representing the DSM community. 17 years for me working on and driving the balls off these cars, 4G63 is a old technology engine but the best low budget 4 cylinder ever made. Stock long blocks capable of 500hp on 30-45psi of boost, if that not impressive i'dk what is. As of right now I have 2 DSMs and 1 hatchback Mirage GT with a 4g63 swap, I love these cars and will never trade them for nothing.

      Because your average car buyer doesn't watch Donut, they don't care about horsepower and torque, they don't give a rat's ass about handling, and they're functionally retarded when it comes to their vehicle. They want one vehicle that can do it all and don't care if it drives like crap.... hence the return of the station wagon with a new name and a slight lift to kinda hint at enhanced capabilities and automakers falling all over themselves to besmirch classic nameplates like Eclipse, Mustang, and Blazer to make little shitboxes that suck all the soul and fun from driving only to replace it with Bluetooth connectivity and smartphone integration. The popularity of Crossovers is mainly due to the fact that automakers know they can still cash in on crappy designs because everyone still thinks they'll have to haul some mythical and mysterious STUFF in the back of their vehicle so they want more cargo room, folks believe that someday they'll hit the Appalachian trail or they'll just have to go somewhere in the snow so they want All Wheel Drive, and you better believe you just have to have world beating efficiency for that cross country trip you'll never take cause gas stations is scarce in death valley, but wait there's more Dude you gotta have your Apple Auto and Android Car play compatibility to get your crappy trap beat mumble rap tunes everywhere you go so we added Bluetooth, usb, and aux to your car.

    Tuner cars were around long before the F&F movies, the movie just brought it to the mainstream public. My friends in high school took me to the illegal street races once before the movie and video games were made...mind blown! 300zx's, supras, rx7's and eclipses heavily modified like alien spaceships from another world! These cars only came out at night, which made the scene even more cool!

      Both the evo and sti sat on their crown hoping their audience will continue to support them with no innovation for more than a decade while letting their competition catch up. Hope they fail and go bankrupt with nissan now owning 1/3 of their company.

They can still make it up like you said if they bring back the 3000gt vr4 (hopefully not an SUV as well lol) but I think the damage to their reputation has already been done. And sports cars are not doing so well currently despite the economy improving. Anyone who's not a millennial will never forget!

    Didn’t care of the Gallardo, the Challenger, the Murcielago. I was just happy to go out on the Eclipse.
    After that I didn’t understand why there wasn’t many eclipses in my town but when I saw one in the street I used to stop walking and just admire that beautiful car (for me at least).
    It might not be the “best” car on the world, but I can say it was the first car which I fell in love.

    I owned a 1991 Eagle Talon TSI AWD 5 speed manual, the engine and boost with a BIG 16G Turbo was AMAZING! Especially with my full 3" exhaust and hollowed cat!
    God damn, I wish I had looked into the car before I bought it though, the first owner literally blew the shit out of it! When I got her, there was a HOLE in the stock 14B Turbo! The camshaft had skipped 2 or 3 teeth and I had to get a top end rebuild - at least I got 1mm Oversized Valves, Titanium Valve springs - and the accompanying upgrades to the valve covers.
    My Mechanic was AMAZING! And he was VERY cheap! I bought my Turbo for ~$700, he only charged me about $500 to install - AND TUNE MY ECU for a better fuel map (he already had the ECU flash ready, as he owned 6 of the DSM Turbo Trio himself!) He also ran BIG 16G Turbos (EVO 3 stock turbo) on 3 of his own cars - so he knew it all so well.
    Anyway, eventually after draining my savings on things like a new Alternator, Steering Pump, Fuel Pump - and much more - the Head Gasket blew and cracked one of the cooling jackets a little - not enough to leak a lot immediately, but enough that it WOULD have failed, and I did not have the $5500 or more it would have cost - about $4000 or more was in parts alone...
    So I HAD to sell her off on eBay as a Parts Car, I only got $3000 for it - and I sunk basically $10,000 into it.
    See I thought I was safe because it was low-ish miles when I bought it at just below 60,000....
    God I wish I still had that car, I was EASILY putting down about ~300+ HP with 93 Octane and 25 PSI of boost! When she ran as she was supposed to, she was the MOST FUN I HAVE EVER HAD IN ANY CAR! And I have driven a LOT (worked at an Auto Auction, and had friends with fast cars!)

    +1 for most underrated tuning car of all time. People love to shit on the 4th gens because no AWD nor 4G63, but keep in mind the V6 of that generation was by far the most powerful iteration. While you can't tune it quite as well as a turbo, it still responds very well to bolt-ons and reflashes. My own is putting down 280whp on simple bolt-ons and a 94 octane map. Not bad for a car that you can buy and build for less than 10k

      it really isn't a solid performer when you consider the cars people are comparing it to / alternatives in its segment. Its actually quite slow and handles pretty poor for even a FWD car...

RRE Motorsports made a turbo one back in 08 and there's even a video of it on track racing at Willow Springs Raceway..

    • @manfromnantucket9544
      @manfromnantucket9544 6 лет назад +2

    Nice. I'm the original and only owner of a '92 Talon TSi AWD, stick of course, and 6/4. Been restoring it over the past few years. No major issues except the trans, which I rebuilt on my own, but time does its thing so it needed a lot of work. Lots of rust, seized calipers, bad struts, replaced most bushings and all ball joints & connecting links, tie rods, etc., rebuilt entire suspension & prop shaft, replaced TB & WP. Used only OEM or high quality aftermarket. Put in a slightly beefier SB clutch but otherwise mostly still stock, or stock-ish, no mods, interior still nice.
    Can use some exterior work but nothing too bad. Nicest part, still under 80k miles--and it's been driven cross country back and forth twice (original reason for buying it actually, 3 days after I bought it sight unseen over the phone). No, not for sale, even if this reads like an ad. Maybe someday. Just bragging. It's all mine for now. Not the greatest urban vehicle to drive, especially where the speed limit is 25mph on most streets, but it's so fun to drive where you're able to open it up. And I'm not even that great a driver or a car person.
    Of course no one who's not a car person has heard of it, but when I say it's just like the Eclipse, they immediately know what I'm talking about.

I hope that this car helps Mitsubishi Motors‘ financial problems, so they can make a proper sports car again. All we can do right now is to wait, to hope and to support Mitsubishi. The Eclipse Cross might be the car to finally save Mitsubishi. Because it wasn’t going so well for them the last decade.
