    @2:45 I've been daily driving my 97 GST for the past 4 years. Everything he says here is about how they throw a fit ect is true because I've dealt with it many times when something is wrong. Just for anyone looking into the turbo models, my best suggestion is to do monthly inspections yourself. If something is wrong, park it and leave it until it is fixed. From my experiences, one thing goes, 3 other things get effected and then boom those 3 things dwindle under the pressure. Here's a list of things to check/replace while buying or owning a GST or GSX.
    1. Compression tests are a God send. Use them and you will know the immediate health of the engine.
    2. Rust is a common issues with these cars especially outside of CA. My GST wasn't even safe and the original owner bought it in CA. People check certain common locations for rust, I'd suggest checking the WHOLE car.
    3. Do ALL radiator hoses and vacuum lines to save yourself early head aches.
    4. Check for any obvious leaks. I've noticed that a lot of people tend to forget about valve stem seals and valve cover gaskets on all cars. Coolant leaks seem to come from the heater core in these cars, because they are an absolute bish to replace. The heater core itself makes you take apart the dash just to get to it and the hoses are a pain to replace because people usually don't replace them when the the heater core fails due to age. Mine did so I have bypassed the heater core every since.
    5. While driving make note of the oil dipstick level and check it again after driving to ensure you didn't lose any. This goes back to #4 with the valve stem seals or it could sometimes be the turbo burning your oil.
    6. The 2nd gens suffer a crank walk risk. A lot of people have disabled the neutral safety to lower the risk by a lot. If the car you end up buying doesn't have this done to it that should be your first step.
    7. Schedule maintenance is REQUIRED. Say it with me now, I WILL FIX EVERYTHING FIRST BEFORE I ADD POWER.
    Hope those tips helped! I'm the 3rd owner of my current GST and she's happily purring at 197k on the original engine and transmission. The original two owners brought her back to life after sitting in a garage for 6 years. I intend to keep her running especially since I've dumped 3x her worth in parts. I do all the work myself and it's something I suggest you should do as well. If you have to take one of these cars to a mechanic, make sure it's someone you trust with your LIFE. Otherwise, you will have a very sad car. These cars act like small children when something is wrong and will throw a temper tantrum. PLEASE DO MAINTENCE REGULARLY. I hate seeing these at the graveyard...but then again, ya boi needs to keep his running so :P

    @statsofgod 4 года назад +206

    You forgot the most important part!
    Make sure to buy a 30$ compression tester!
    It literally takes 10 minutes to check the health of the car!
    This will really determine the health and negotiating of the price!
    4g63T models should be at 176psi on all 4 cylinders! Obviously it should be close to those numbers and no more than 15 psi a part from each other.
    Pretty much anything that's over 150 psi and very close to all 4 cylinders then ur good

    Just a tip, be aware of the massive amount of vacuum lines in the GST and GSX models. From fuel pressure regulators to EGR valves, there's a lot of them, and a lot of people will do vacuum line deletes incorrectly.

    For the 420a people. Stopped or right turn is 1st gear, left turn or city streets is 2nd gear, and 3rd is for getting on the freeway. Fourth is for passing on freeway and Fifth is for cruising at 80. I’ve had a 97 RS for 19 yrs and 200k miles. It’s at 275k now. My commute is through the Cajon pass trying to do 80mph and I get over 30 mpg. The out of the ordinary problems are:
    Evap leak caused by emergency roll over valve on top of gas tank. Cover hose barb with epoxy to seal.
    Trans is weak. Early 2000’s neon magnum have HD trans. (5 speed)
    Had engine rebuilt at 175k. Change radiator and exhaust manifold too. Recently the Cracked exhaust manifold destroyed my $350 catalytic converter. After a new cat I blew my intake manifold seal. Now I’m watching eclipse videos on RUclips because it’s been reawakened. The only thing I didn’t do myself was rebuild the engine. If you don’t have as much fun under the car as you do in the drivers seat it might not be for you. But if you do, get an obd2 scanner with live data stream and a copy of the oem service manual. $17 on eBay. I’m hearing things about the head gasket leaking oil onto the back of the engine also. I saw the sludge. I think it’s real.

Just do maintenance before mods I’ve always used oem mitsu parts. Great build none the less but just wanted to state that from a dsm owner whose owned 10 gsx/ tsi awd, 2 gst’s and two evo ix’s in the past.

MY ADVICE IS!!! if you are thinking of buying one, make sure you have a back up car and keep this as your weekend car just to have fun and do all the maintenance first because these are old and are getting more rare, yes they have alot of small issues but if you do everything right and learn from them you'll break necks and most importantly you will have a bad ass rare car that will be fun to drive and will have you with a smile all the time... i also own an srt4 so follow me on instagram! 🙄😄 Dsm_spyder

And it’s very rare to see one being sold. I’m still looking and am prepared to pay 10K cash for the right car.

Its a damn shame however that the price of evfo 4g63s have skyrocketed though. I do think you downplay the 420a a little bit. A build top end and a solid clutch can give you some solid numbers and over 300 to the wheels safely enough.

    This video makes me feel better now, I have owned my GST for 16 years now and it's been a constant fix it, race it, break it and repeat type of situation. tho every time I brake it, I just keep upgrading parts on it. so I started with a stock GST Spyder, now I have a Built, AWD GST-X Spyder lol

      I know right? I was wanting to get one as a first car but it doesn't seem like a good idea considering I need something reliable. Still my dream car. Hopefully they don't continue going up in price so maybe one day I can get one.

    I know I´m late but I wanted to add this. I´m from Germany and i got an Eclipse. It has a naturally aspirated 4G63 that has 146HP stock. I don´t know if you can get them everywhere but if you want to look it up it´s a 1995 2GA so before the facelift.

Such a headache but Ik it’s worth it. 4g63 awd is amazing. I had to replace the oil pan gasket and is that an oof. You gotta take off the front axles transfer case exhaust. Worst part is idk if there is another oil leak on the timing side.

    Yeah us 4g64 guys gets no love where always forgotten but this ok 😂 for anyone looking at a spyder gs its the same platfrom as the 4g63 just single cam non turbo. Some parts are interchangeable from the gst and if you want it can be awd swapped using the gsx drivetrain parts and gas tank with a few modifications they require the same maintenance and are reliable if well taken care of

    Here at Mitsubishi, we get it. In these trying times, it can be really hard to commit to a color scheme for your classic, mid-noughties racecar. So we're working in partnership with West Coast Customs to provide a livery for anything life can throw at you. Bad hair day? There's a livery for that. Stuck upside down in your rhinestone gravity boots? There's a livery for that. Dad screaming you were a mistake long into the night again? You guessed it. The Mitsubishi Eclipse. Adding yet more color to an already colorful existence.
