★ Mitsubishi Eclipse History : Everything YOU need to know! ★

- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
- The Mitsubishi Eclipse was a special car for enthusiasts in the USA since we didn't get the Lancer Evolution in the 90's. It created a cult following with the potent 4G63T leading the way and for this platform and then....it went away. But what's the history behind this model and why did it become discontinued?

All these videos about mitsubishi's history are making me sad that they don't do the performance version of much anymore. 3000gt vr4, eclipse gsx, and lancer evolution were the perfect awd trio from the 90's.
TyroPuffin I agree!
RIP Mitsubishi. They will be out of the USA within 5-10 years. They don't make any decent cars anymore, unless you want the cheapest car on the market with the Mirage. Such a shame.
True that.
TyroPuffin actually we have a free will but its within a pre destination.God knows what we will do but we have a choice in our lives that affect the future but it really doesn't because its already chosen. Only though Jesus christ we have eternal life and by him, making the choice to accept him will affect the future for us. But either way God knows if we accept him or not, that is why some people don't accept the gospel because they weren't chosen too considering there choice they would make in there life that would change there future
What does Mitsubishi want with all the SUVs?! Did the sports cars have poor sales? I hope they don't go bankrupt. I just want a car the 1991 - 1995 Lancer chassis anyway.
Man, that 2nd gen looked so good
Yups.
Similar 90's cool aesthetic to the Supra. :)
love it, i miss the 90's affordable sports cars. would love to have a 98 eclipse or a integra.
The Eclipse was THE cool japanese sports car while I was in high school, which was during the 2nd gen model years, the 3rd gen just came out when I graduated. My older friend had a 98 White Eclipse FWD turbo. It was luxurious with leather seats and it was freaking fast!
Lancer EVOS were mythical illegal cars we could not have, but we did enjoy the 3000GT and I remember a girls Eagle Talon she had, 1st gen, awesome
Mitsubishi needs to stop playing around and bring back those old school cars Eclipse Evo Gallant and the 3000GT
MidnightClubsSR It would be nice, but they don't have the funding after filing for bankruptcy and they're focusing more on crossover/suv type cars. I think they're even late on that, but we'll have to wait and see.
GT Content Outside of the us markets they were always in the SUV game. Pajeros, Outlander, asx and a lot more.
all they got now is SUVs and the regular Lancer I'm just hoping Mitsubishi step their game up because I really miss those cars and I got a 96 3000GT and it's very hard to find those parts
Good to know! Thanks for the heads up.
Instead they make the "Eclipse Cross" their worst atrocity yet. Looks like an Aztek smoking crack. RIP Mitsubishi.
Eclipse Cross? UUh, this breaks my heart. I love my eclipse so much and would have bought it several times over if they had not discontinued it.
IKR
The back looks like an Aztek's rear end.
Joe Neri 😂
So are you going to do a Nissan Z History?
Joe Neri Yeps. it's in my backlog. Working on another one at the moment.
The 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse have one of the best front-end designs in automotive history; period.
As a 2g eclipse owner.. The cross makes me sad
@@MrUnderhilll Mines still going strong as well. Purchased mine in 2003 and kept up with the Maintenance! Still runs like new!!!
Sixteen years and STILL will fly by a line of cars, up hill on California deserts hottest summer day with no problems what so Ever!!
My 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse V6 convertible Spider amazes people everyday. I have lived in this same town all my 39 years and have owned this vehicle for the past 16....same engine (currently at a strong healthy 250,000 miles), has never left me stuck on the side of the road (knock on wood n thank the Lord).
This vehicle has definitely made its mark in this town n continues to blow em away lol.
16 years and STILL Loving My 2001 Convertible Eclipse!!
Been waiting for this one, 98-99 GSX is definitely a dream car! I sure miss the good old days, kind of mind boggling how horribly wrong everything went for the eclipse after 2000..
swazi5 Yeah, we can blame management.
I have a '97 and I'm slowly falling in love with it! Was originally planning to part it out due to rust, but now I'm restoring it on my channel instead. :)
i always thought it was cause of Emission problems..
Swaz Same.
I have to admit that the 4G looks good. It looks more like a modern 2G.
The Eclipse Cross however... They only got the AWD right, if they're going to make it, that is.
This is very sad... the fast and the furious really helped Mitsubishi be more well known, but unfortunately they are going away for good. I will try my hardest to keep my 2G Eclipse in the best condition possible but it's really sad to see it end this way.
JL Yes, keep your pride and joy because it may be one of the last Mitsubishi sport compact cars we'll see in a long time.
I am keeping mine for sure, i have a 97 gst eclipse 🤔
People like to shit on the 4G a lot, but fail to realize that with the 6G75 engine, it was by far the most powerful Eclipse to have ever left the factory. The 3.8 also has the only proper six speed manual and happens to respond very well to bolt-ons and tuning (at least for an NA). With only intake, full exhaust and a 94 octane tune, my V6 is making a solid ~60hp over stock. Definitely an underrated car with an underrated motor
Great video, you get a like from this owner
Thanks!
Your car is cool and does make really excellent torque. But its just not in the same spirit as the 1g and 2gs. It was 12x the car of the 3g for sure though
Dagan Williams Sure, it didn't have the 90s import cool or available AWD that the older generations enjoyed, but viewed soley on a performance front, it was the best (at least stock). Unfortunately, it did get soft and heavy in the later years, but the dollar to horsepower ratio was always quite strong. For less than 10k I bought and built a 280whp NA car. Not terrible.
well said!
Man from Nantucket i agree. Here in Puerto Rico we swap the V6 MIVEC in EVERYTHING LOL
Well done history of the Eclipse. I think a lot of us eclipse fans are definitely disappointed in the direction Mitsubishi has taken in the last seven years. I wonder if mitsubishi really wants to make money or is this a tax write off because if they were interested in making money they would build cars that people would want.
Thanks!
Yes, Mitsubishi seems to be in a confused state and you can thank management for that. They've made a lot of past decisions for the US market and now they're focusing on crossovers/SUV's. We'll see if Mitsubishi motors makes a comeback.
Mitsubishi and Chrysler were at odd's by 95 as Mitsubishi wanted to open dealerships in north america to sell they're own cars, Chrysler didn't like that so the partnership (DSM) was ended in late 1995 and mitsubishi built cars like the Talon, and Stealth by order only from there on out for chrysler. In Canada we also got the Galant VR4's rebadged as Eagle 2000GTX's (very very rare here in Canada)
MechRider89 Good to know. Thanks!
2G Eclipse was my first car, amazing looks and reliable if you take care of it. Such an amazing car!! I now have a 3000GT and One day I would like to get another GSX!
I think I'm a 2G person also if I were to purchase one. It's just so difficult to find a GSX in pristine condition. Let me know if you do get another one.
I love the 2G as well. I snagged a GSX, but it's far from pristine. So much of the typical DSM rust. :'(
GT Content Are you looking for a gsx?
Not at the moment.
your probably one of the best content Creator's with this low of subscribers, I enjoy the quality put into everyone of your videos it really shows the amount of time put into researching each car you do. I'm sure your channel will grow vastly by the end of this year.
thanks for all the great content keep it up
Can't believe in a few years my 95 Talon awd will be a "classic". would like a 1st gen dsm, Gallant vr4, and a 3000gt vr4.
dsmmike95 Do it man!
Just saw your video. Nicely documented. Appreciate it. Just purchased a 99 Eclipse Spyder 2.4L that had been garaged and perfectly maintained 100% stock. Fantastic daily driver with, ageless, outstanding styling.
+GourmetBushCrafter Thanks! That's a nice one you picked up there.
Im trying to find out IF we can use snow chains (OR CABLES) on the 1999 Spyder GS that has 205/55/16's. Can't find it anywhere and no validation of fitment/application from common sites to purchase from. Just generic info based on tire size... Any guidance?
Second video and I subscribed! Man, thank you very much...your information is more than enough and very helpful. I'm a Mitsubishi fan since 1994 and it is very refreshing to see somebody bringing all these awesomeness. Keep it up!
This video makes me want to cry. Seeing how they ruined the Eclipse, making it fatter and heavier with each generation. I really miss the first and second gen models. They were such fun cars.
Tgonzo417 IKR!
GT Content Nissan Z history next??
Tgonzo417 That one is in my backlog.
Tgonzo417 And the worst part is that they're not stopping there. They already confirmed the successor to the Evo will be a cross style vehicle...
RIP Mitsubishi
second generation probably one the best looking car, it is a shame that they change it
+otpornik Likewise
Second generation eclipse was the best looking eclipse ever..i miss my. 1997 eclipse gst...
I'm just 1min into this video and I can tell you I'm going to look at all of this series. Good job!
morpheus232001 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
I got a 2007 Mitsibishi eclipse and I love it I have rebuilt the engine and put and bored the engine out and replaced everything high performance even has a 200 amp Altanator specially built locally and have a super mechanic that help me even put oversized valves in it after the head was reworked and you won’t believe the horsepower I’m about to tell you it had before I rebuilt it 162 horsepower yes laugh it’s a 2.4L but I guarantee I can way outrun any modified 6 cylinder and some V8’s yes don’t laugh it has been greatly appreciated and proven and I am a GOD FEARING MAN and would not lie to you which I really don’t care if you believe me I know what my Eclipse will do and I’ve pissed a lot of people off over them loosing to my car which everyone calls the BEAST and I actually do not know how much horsepower my car has now but I have a feeling that it’s a rocket engine now when i start it up it’s a major adrenaline rush to drive and I am so proud of my time and money and effort I have put into it it’s been worth it it’s my BEAST of a modified Mitsibishi product and I am a very happy proud owner of it......
Excellent video, by the way. I think it's the first one I've seen from your channel. Subscribed!
Gary, I'm loving your car history series.
Some Asian Guy Glad you're enjoying them. More to come.
Great job!!! I have owed 3 Eclipse GT , they were the best cars I have owed.
Thanks man! We never got the Eclipse in any format in Australia so I was wondering what these cars were that I had seen in some US shows. The more you know.
This channel has a promising future, subbed!
+hendry arya Thanks man!
Thx so much for highlighting and liking my comment ❤️🤗
2nd Generation Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe 2018 revive™
Jay Tojino (Fingers crossed)
The Real Cars Enthusiast is in the 1990's™
Now I'm 26 year's old and my dream cars is to have the Mazda RX-7 Veilside™
Thanks man, Do more!
That's a nice ride!
You're welcome!
More history videos to come!
I just bought a 2001 3g eclipse. It's a dope car.
finally...thanks for the video.
I had the 98 Talon awd with 450+ hp. I really miss that car. good old days racing that boy....!!
This video was awesome, very informative. thanks
Cham Rav Thanks!
Nice video! It's cool to see the history of this car and sad to see the end result of the Eclipse name. I own a 2008 Eclipse Spyder and absolutely love it! Completely reliable and sexy AF. 😆
+Mark Byrge Nice car!
I had a dsm 97 eclipse gst. I love it. Nice car for begginers. Nice vid!
That's a nice ride!
Thanks!
Thank you for that video. Brings back a lot of memories. Gsx here.
You're welcome
Great video. Love the Evo. Glad to see it in good hands!
Great video! You earned a subscriber. I have a 2G GSX 5 speed for my channel, but it's unfortunately quite rusty and in need of a lot of restoration. It really is too bad that Mitsubishi lost its way so badly. IMO they haven't made a truly good car other than the Lancer/Evo in at least 15 years. I just hope I can keep my piece of history alive!
Very nice vid. I own a 96 eclipse, needs to be repaired, but that will be done. I got it since 2006, and i will never sell it. It drives amazing.
This about to be one of best car channels
Vezqui Morales Thanks! Glad you enjoy the content.
I know the dsm community talks down to 3g owners but i love my car and since I'm a pretty big guy i can't really drive the smaller 1st and 2nd generations. That doesn't stop me from loving the eclipse overall and loving every minute of my car.
Awesome thanks!
I owned 2g GST. it was very nice car! Thanks for the vid!
I love my GSX for a good while and hooked on AWD cars ever since!
The 3rd gen Eclipse was also featured in 2fast 2furious
Thank you! 👍
That was an informative well done video.
Thanks
Just picked up a 99 GS Spyder with the 2.4l engine....I like it!!! I can see how these cars are so desirable, they look sweet and ride good, amazing power for a 4 cyl engine.
Makes me miss my 2g so bad? Thanks for uploading this vid.
+Andrea A you're welcome
Jdm god guidelines. No one can say anything about the knowledge that he gives. and i am a jdm head since 98 and im only 27 . I thought i knew alot but sheesh i just got put on..
Thanks!
great vid. thank you for making it.
lets not forget that the 3g can be made awd, evo brembos fit on it and even the non mivec evo head will fit. 3g is still a fun car.
Yet more fan boys all over this post
Thanks for feeding the troll by discrediting the 3G and 4G
People lack the ability to build something rather then buy it. It's ok I'll take my slow boosted 3G 3.9l v6 over the 2g gsx
Still w8ing for skyline and fairlady z history! great videos m8
Häng Dig! I haven't forgot man. I'm slowly chipping away at my backlog.
im subbed, entertaining content
would definitely love to see a history video on the Porsche 911, or their transaxle series
Thanks! Glad you like it. Yes, that one is in my backlog. I'm working on the WRX/STI at the moment.
Not gonna lie that yellow 4thgen was clean!
great video!!
+thelocustemperor Thanks!
my 07 eclipse is the best car ive owned. i love the style personally, but it is by far the most reliable car ive ever driven. ive put 52k miles on it since i bought it used and all its ever needed was a new timing belt. i will get another newer eclipse for my next car, except with a convertible top.
Nice. Thanks for sharing.
i had a 07 eclipse spyder that i bought a couple of years ago was a great car. only problem i had was the top was going bad and they wanted more than the car was valued at to replace it i traded it in and got a 2012 eclipse se and i love it its pretty much the exact same car just a hardtop. they are great cars
I always loved the GSX but it was so hard to find one, well I'm grown now and have a EVO X
+dsourn Yes, good ones are hard to come comw by, but you've made the right choice.
hi there GT Content i love your history video about mitsubishi eclipse
i wonder can you also make history video about mitsubishi airtrek thanks.
+Edie Pui I've got a large backlog right now. I'll keep it in mind.
Japanese cars like the 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse should never be taken out of production.
Hi thank you for this very informative video hystory of the Mitsubishi Eclipse one of my favorite cars. I had two models the 1993 GS and the 2000 GT. I trully miss these cool cars. Now if I have the opportunity to own a sport car again I would go for the Camaro SS or the Corvette.
+Paulo Barretto You're welcome. Cars and technology have come a long way. There are also a lot of offerings for enthusiasts nowadays. I wouldn't mind a ZL1 1LE.
Wow its almost as if the new people working at Mitsubishi have some sort of vendetta against the Eclipse and since the 90's have only been trying to ruin its memory. Its so sad how cars like Mustang and Camaro get new updates that celebrate the legacy and design of the originals and such beautiful cars like the Eclipse get shit on by their very own manufacturer!
Yes. Blame management.
Proud owner of the Eclipse GSX
Should have put and awd option in the 4 gen
Overall a good video and rundown on the history of the Eclipse, but with a few oversights.
The Eclipse has always shared suspension and driveline design with the then current generation Galant chassis for the year. 1G=6G Galant, 2G=7G Galant and so on. The 1G Eclipse GSX used the identical setup from the Mitsubishi Galant VR-4, minus the 4 Wheel Steering and slightly longer wheelbase.
Chrysler used the chassis from the Eclipse/Galant for some of their cars, Dodge Avenger, Dodge Stratus Coupe and so on. Not the other way around.
Chrysler's contribution to the 1st Gen was mostly in the interior design, with the engine and driveline chores going to Mitsubishi.
For the 2nd Gen, Chrysler "contributed" the 420A engine for use in NA market Non Turbo cars.
Mitsubishi has aserious image problem on their hands that needs to be addressed. A revamped Eclipse sports coupe, not a bastardized "crossover" would bring people back into the delaerships. Make it sporty, fun and affordable. Either a turbocharged FWD/AWD or a RWD coupe.
BluFalcon BluFalcon Thanks for the info. I understand I'll miss/leave things out as it may fall out of the scope of these history videos. I'm glad there are enthusiasts like yourself that can come in and chime on things.
As far as Mitsubishi goes, they're in their situatiin at the moment and involved with other markets, so the car one seems not important at the moment. We'll all just keep our fingers crossed if they'll return to their former glory.
Man, Mitsubishi really is committing suicide for themselves. Why would they continue the Eclipse legacy with an SUV?! That was a huge mistake. Japanese sporty cars are coming back to life, now why would they not try to take that approach and make a new Eclipse? Toyota now has the 86 and a soon-to-be Supra, and they are hoping to bring back the MR2. The Scion tC (now a Toyota, R.I.P. Scion- merged together) could also be considered somewhat sporty. Nissan has the 370Z and the GT-R R35. Honda has the new Civic Type R. But Mitsubishi has nothing to try and keep up. Making another SUV may help because of the SUV craze, but I think a sporty coupe would be a better option to try and get attention to the enthusiasts. I think the Eclipse Cross is going to be Mitsubishi's Pontiac Aztek- kills the company in one shot, since Mitsubishi is already suffering. It's a hit or miss. I hope the Eclipse Cross sells well so Mitsubishi can stay in business. Well, we just have to hope. Nice video! :)
+RacerRyan 86 Thanks!
RacerRyan 86 this is so true!
Ok I'm now replying to myself from 2 years ago. I didn't know what I was talking about two years ago as far as sales go. At least right now, Mitsubishi's best bet is to keep making and selling SUV's. As far as the market goes, nobody really cares for small sporty coupes anymore and Mitsubishi making a 5G Eclipse would be a waste of their time and money, because nobody would buy it whether it was AWD or not. For now, they're growing as a brand with SUV's, so if they make money from their crossovers and that gives them a bigger brand image and more money to put forward to a sports coupe, then that's good enough. All brands hit good and bad points, and Mitsubishi's growing out of their worst (2013-ish when they barely sold at all.)
RacerRyan 86 Not lying. I hope they bring back the 3000GT at some point. Mitsubishi can make crossover SUVs if it makes them tons of money, but I would want them to put some of that money towards making an enthusiast-targeted sports car.
Replying to myself from 3 years ago, I now have a 4th gen Eclipse GT with a 6 speed manual and I love it! It's such a fun and underrated car. If people didn't often compare it to the 2G GSX, it would be reckoned as an outstanding car for the price you can buy them used for.
I am old enough to remember when these first got really hot here in the States just as the hey day of the Fox body 5.0 Mustang was starting to wane. I had the opportunity to drive a five speed turbo eclipse(it had the fixed lights cannot remember what year it was)I do not remember if it was just FWD or AWD I just remember how impressed by the car I was. It was white with a beige leather interior with an outstanding dash.
+Bryan McHugh Nice
love your history episode series , specially subaru impreza
+le-ak hydra Awesome! Glad you enjoy them.
Hearing the truth jus makes me appreciate my 95 Eagle Talon TSI AWD so much! I have a 95 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST shell as well....what you guys think rebuild it?? The Talon is already receiving/ received full restoration/ upgrades.Did you know that Mitsubishi means "3 Diamonds" hence the badge, that SUV Eclipse needs to "CROSS" back to the 90's! Great vid!
Thanks!
As far as your 95 GST. If it's a clean example and you have a goal with it, then I'd do it.
Dont hate on the 3g I like my 3g. That's my daily driver. Dont see many on the road around my way. So it's kinda unique...
Mitsubishi Eclipse 2012 Sexy af
T H I C C
I love my GST sad to see the eclipse turn into a SUV type of thing 1g and 2gs are awesome
Nice video man very informative but I believe there was a mistake with the last generation eclipse I believe the GT(3.8) models came with 6-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed automatic
Doh! You're correct.
FROM 1995-2000, THE ECLIPSE SHARED ITS PLATFORM WITH THE DODGE AVENGER COUPE AND CHRYSLER SEBRING COUPE. AFTER AVENGER WAS DISCONTINUED. IN 2001 THEY INTRODUCED THE DODGE STRATUS COUPE AND A NEW SEBRING UNITIL 2005 WHEN THEY WERE DISCONTINUED. 2006 WAS the FIRST YEAR IT STOOD COMPLETELY ALONE.
Nice video.
Thanks!
I´m seriously considering buying a 2G Eclipse GST from 1997, its the turbocharged engine but not AWD. The most beautiful version of them all. For 6000euros I think its a pretty good deal.
My dad second car was the 2006 eclipse. It was great but then it had problem with the engine and oil. So he replaced it. My first car was a 2000 mitsu mirage. Last for 17 years but it reached it limits. I miss them :(
I have a 1999 Mitsubishi eclipse GS and yesterday I just bought a 1995 Mitsubishi eclipse gsx and oh boi am I excited to work on it
Congrats!
I have a 10th anniversary Mitsubishi Eclipse 1999. Still amazing shape (considering the year)
+Ashli Streets Nice
that yellow 2009 in this video looks sweet..
Still driving 2007 GT... 188000 miles on it. Still runs Ok.
NO! we need the eclipse back!
Oh, cool. The Eclipse Cross.
*PUUUUUKKEEE*
The Eclipse could've become iconic just like the Mustang, but it was never given a chance after they screwed it up so bad with the 3g models. Sad. I miss my GS-T and hope to own another one some day.
4th gen eclipses also comes with 5 speed auto/6 speed manual
You mention the 4th gen as a five speed transmission, mine is the GT with a 6 speed manual. Small edit may be needed
Funny how I'm like no one else. I love the 4G (GT) and I personally think it's the best Eclipse. (V6 has the most power, 6 speed manual, very good car for modifying, sounds strong, in my opinion looks great and much better than any previous gen, and probably the most reliable too.)
Edit: 1 year later, yeah I own one now 💀
Are you the guy from the impossibru meme!? Jk haha great video and the Eclipse cross is so dumb they have nothing to compete with nissans 350Z and 370Z or nissans GTR or hondas civic type r or subarus impreza STI
The history of the lancer ralliart would be interesting to hear too
+Renier Diaz I have the History of the Lancer Evolution video if you haven't seen it yet.
yo man how are you
can you do somthing on the 300zx 1993-98 i want to buy one and you do a great pro's and cons vids
Vape Nation Arabia I uses to own a Z32 TT. Best advice for you is to get a 1991 or later. Check for brittle plastics, hoses and gaskets in the engine bay as they will cause leaks. Check the foam rear wing as it tends to rust and break apart between the trunk. Also check T-tops for potential leaks. They are a headache to do engine work, so be prepared.
my favorite car of our time
IKR!
So happy I own a 2012 model eclipse!
i literally just bought a 2012 se its a great car
Pyro clastic yeah the car is small but quick. The engine roar tho its eargasmic
Wanna get a 2g eclipse gst absolut dream car and maybe soon mine😍
I would like for Mitsubishi to see my 01Sebring LXI Coup. As I tell it... It may cost 800bux on kbb, but i have put 3grand a year to keep it pretty.
The eclipse cross is a slap in the face of all former eclipse owners, and I don't understand what he is talking about when he talks about the 4g engine, I went from an infiniti g35 to a 06 eclipse gt. Sure the inifini was definitely faster off the line, but the eclipse is no slouch and once you hit 40 the thing is amazing and easily beat my infiniti. Also it has been super reliable, 155k miles and not a single engine or transmission issue.
+Braheem Hazeem Good to hear your experience.
This made me sad as an 2ND gen eclipse owner they need too bring them back for all the JDM fans
The 420a never should've been an option. ~_~
I personally don't refer to the recent model as an Eclipse.
Calling it that is a sacrilege. Just "Cross".
For me,1st - 4th its the "true" eclipse.. Also main reason why i'm falling in love to mitsubishi better than any car factory.. Sadly,this hot girl never marketed in my country.. And all i got only '91 galant dohc..
They should listen to consumer feedback. Eclipse 2g is still one of the sexiest cars to date and it had the performance to back it up.
I think that's their problem. They think that they can make anything and sell it. Fortunately, there are smart consumers who know better.
I'm happy with my 97 eclipse, runs drives just fine. sry it's over for them but all good things come to an end. This eclipse cros sounds like a big downer for them. I'll hold my car for as long as I can
+Scott Zaracki Yes, I'd hold on to it if I were you.
