No you do not have a 6-cylinder Eclipse turbocharged that only runs Thirteen's lmao my stock blog GTS did Thirteen's with full bolt ons in a ported intake manifold lol either you're lying out your ass or you have the worst built 3G ever
I love how your eclipse looks, even with a stock body. I currently have the same color as yours and i want to eventually want to do the same things to my car, it's inspiring to see the same issues that i have grown up with. I really hope to see yours on the road someday! Thanks for making me less embarassed to have a stock eclipse and showing me that i could accomplish the same thing one day.
Hi Michael! Thanks for subscribing. I'm sure Rob, the car owner, will love seeing your comment! I appreciate that Rob's story has inspired you with your car. Stay tuned for more episodes to come. Thank you for watching!
There is nothing to be ashamed about having an Eclipse with a stock body; they are beautiful cars from the factory :) Glad I was able to help validate your decision!
Great video! I also noticed the 3G on the other side of the road at 9:10. I remember meeting Rob for the first time at a Club3g meet in Normal IL. Seeing his and Steve's booted 3G inspired me. Both of them already had everything in my wish list on Amazon. I still remember leaving Grady's and watching you and him race down veterans parkway leaving a dozen other 3Gs in the dust/Steve's oil cloud. This car brought me to Rob and a dozen other friends along the way. Some of witch even showed up to my wedding. I'm looking forward to his next build and seeing him again soon.
My 03 Eclipse is getting worked on... all the spark plugs need overhauling and the engine's timing is off. I watch these videos to make myself feel better because I miss my car :(
one of the most inspirational things i saw, i saw the video of the fastest 3g eclipse on stock internals but never saw the man behind the car... i liked very much this video, very well performed, nice music and nice colors. i own a turbo 3g 4g64 eclipse and this story is like my own... keep posting videos like this....
@connor mawhiney Thanks so much for the compliment. We try our best to make high quality content. Stay tuned for more and check out our other videos if you haven't yet. Thanks again!
I have a GT eclipse, I am mechanically inclined now more than I have ever been with all the Honda’s I’ve owned thanks to my v6. Respects to you my man! You’re inspiring to keep on going!
Damn, I inherited my 01 GT Spyder from my grandparents my junior year, and I had the nicest car in my high school. The day after I got home from my freshman year in college, my auto transmission died and left me on the side of the highway. Now, 2 months later, I’m trying to save $5000 to swap in a manual transmission and invest in forged internals to eventually prepare for big power. I might be biased because the 3g eclipse is my first car, but they deserve so much more respect in the car world because of how truly solid they are (other than the sportronic transmissions). This video is proof that if you can dream it, you can build it!
Hey Logan! Thanks for watching the video. I'm glad it resonated with you and you found inspiration in it. That's what Dream Machine Video Series is all about. Hope you post some content of your car as you build it. Would love to see the progress!
This is awesome, now I know thorough trail an error, one day I can work on my car too, this has given me the confidence to try, I really appreciate this. thanks brother.
Wow,i was planning on selling or trading my 3g eclipse,but after watching this video, i felt like this kinda love for it, but like you said, its a big sacrifice to upgrade a car
My V6 is pretty cool even naturally aspirated it's nice and quick, like the look of it because you don't really have to do any major cosmetics to it, they look good as is.
What an amazing story! Just raw, and as "True" as it can get. I can relate to this short documentary in so many ways. I now own a 3g eclipse. ( 6g72 3.0 5 speed) And my mission to build a turbo for it starts tomorrow. I wish i still has my RS from back in the Military days, but I'm excited about what lies ahead. Very inspiring, and congrats on the time! I would of never thought my RS would of ran in 13's let alone 12's back then. ( i just didn't see the potential)
I had an 04 spyder gt as my first car. Amazingly fun and are pretty bullet proof. (Put 20,000mi on it while taking her to redline atleast once a day) Did my routine basic maintenance and she just kept going. The plan was to wait for it to blow up then get the 4g46 version but the day has yet to come lol.
Awesome story I have a 02 3.0 Gt & I would love to turbo mine but it is so expensive & like you in the beginning i'm not much of a machanic but I try. You should def drop the front & back bumber & debadge it. Mine looks alot better with out all there name on my ride. Thanks!
third gen eclipses have always been a favorite car of mine. Reminds alot of my childhood... ive owned a 03 gs spyder before and i never got the opportunity to really put in work into it, but now after watching this, makes me want to get another one and actually dedicate time and money into it
It's a good platform for a project car, but most people swear it isn't so you don't see to many beyond stock, but when you see one that's been worked on it's awesome and quite rare
Thanks so much for watching! I'm super glad you found this story inspiring. We try to find great stories to bring you on Dream Machines. Enjoy modding your car. There is quite a strong 3G community out there if the viewership and activity of this video is any indication. Thanks so much for watching and we hope you'll check out the rest of the content on Dream Machines.
My first car was a 2000 eclipse gt, bought that in 2003 on a used car lot but sadly totaled in not even a year and a half later. loved the car so much that i went ahead and bought a 2003 eclipse gts and didnt trade it in until 2014.
I just bought a 3G GS convertible for my wife for $650 because it needed a timing belt. $100 and a weekend worth of work and it wasn't a bad investment.
Ur really deep into cars. I have a 3g gt v6 2003 I have all stock. At 170,000 did the two heads. The timing belt, oil pump seal, a binch of stuff. These v6 engines are a pain to work on. Nevertheless, it feels good to fix your own car. Congrats.
Hey Joseph Andreuccetti! Thanks for watching the video. It's funny you mention the AWD. Rob's next mod at the time of this filming was to do a AWD swap. He even had the EVO drive train in his garage sitting next to the car. Unfortunately as many projects go Rob never got to the AWD swap. Around the time this video originally posted, Rob sold his high school dream machine. Sometimes married life changes things. He ended up replacing it with a BMW Z8 which his wife loves. As they say Happy wife, happy life :) Thanks again for checking out the video and be sure to take a look at the other videos on the channel.
@RS1 the 4 cylinder (4G69) can use many parts from the Evo motor (4G63T) to build big power for relatively cheap, so if you're looking for performance, the 2.4 is your best bet. It's much more difficult to make anything out of the V6. Many 3G owners swap out their engines for the 3.8 from the 4G which is a far more potent mill
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING VIDEO. i remember when the channel was called 03 eclipse and had like 5 videos. i loved your car because it reminded me of my 2.4L eclipse NA that i loved so dearly (and raced on drag strip as well as circuit) if you look at my channel, their is a video of my NA eclipse with good suspension and tires beating a VR4 3000GT at a 1/3 mile circuit race! my best time with my NA was a 16.79 with falken azenis RT615K+'s. my favorite tire! get back to me asdap :) would love to hear more about your baby. carlito
Explosive Gamer bro honest I work at Jdm in signal hill California. We have e two of them. Those motors can be made to make some serious power bro. Oh yeah I got mines. By the way🙅🙆🙏
Explosive Gamer I think it's because they automatically think of the V6 ones.. had a guy I know that I was talking to and I brought up a 3G Eclipse.. first thing he brings up is the V6 models which almost shocks me since that's the worst ones to buy.. I think this is VERY overlooked
Thanks for watching Ghost. Glad you found the video inspiring. That was my goal when starting the Dream Machines Video Series channel. Rob is a good friend and I thought his story was too good not to share.
I felt that lol, the day I brought my eclipse GT which was the 3.0 liter V6 trim. Three people brought their eclipse but the funny part was is that theirs was the the lowest trim available which was the GS v4, and the one that was the GT was the V4 engine in it. Only reason why mine was apparently comparable was because mine was the only one with the nice bumper and because it was sterling silver but it was banged up so theres that. Im just happy im the only one to say that i owned mine since the day it came out🤷🏽♂️
however i have an 03 GS with I/H/E stage 2 clutch and lightweight flywheel and simple weight reduction, even with those few mods, it absolutely woke my car up. also i'm boosting my GS soon, maybe you can help me out.
The owner Rob sometimes checks this channel and responds to comments. I'll be sure to pass on your question to him. Thanks for watching our channel and be sure to subscribe as we do plan to upload some new content in the future.
i'm 7 months late but i'm saving up all of my money and hopefully in a year i'll be able to get this www.turbokits.com/Mitsubishi/Eclipse/Turbo_Kits/TSI_Extreme_Turbo_Kit/387/
He should have been playing gran turismo instead of need for speed ;) Just got an '03 manual 3.0 in that exact same color. Can't wait to mod it. EDIT: omg this is like a 3rd gen Eclipse's owners forum :p
I had a 2001 Stratus R/T with the 3.0 and 5spd. Bought it new and sold it in 2008, really miss that car and the 2 door twin of the Eclipse seem to be unobtanium now to find one in good or better condition
i would love to pick robs brain i have a similar story to this would like to know where he got all the parts i have an 05 eclipse gs and would like to know about what parts he used so on and so forth
I'm here in Milwaukee and I just bought my first car, a 2003 v6 gts, and I'm trying to learn more about cars in general from this car alone. Honestly, a great inspiration, knowing someone close is achieving a future goal of mine. If there are things or tips I can do to work on my car, I would appreciate contacting you. :)
Hi Josh! My name is Don and I produced this video. It's a part of a series of videos. I will try to get in touch with the owner of the car and see if he can respond or send you a DM. I appreciate you enjoying the video and thank you for your comment.
So I havs a 4gen eclipse spyder 07 and care had been in the family for 4 years and I was made owner of it for my 17th birthday and all I gotta say i love the car. It is the gs but haha is the 69 so it gots potential. Its handles well around the corners and when the mivec hits its a nice feeling. I love the car and hope to mod it soon. It will take time but patience will pay off
I have a 2002 eclipse rs with the 5 speed manual and it has high profile or whatever it's called racing pistons and valves with an open exhaust system, I've hit 150 mph street racing but that was a couple years ago I'm more into rally tracks
2nd car added to the list lol, considering this along with the Toyota Celica, also planning on getting some sort of sports car in my junior year too lol hopefully in a budget in like $3k-$7k so might take a whole year to save up but man it'll be worth it. So probably Senior year but meh I already have a 2005 Rav4 S to be happy with for now. ;)
P.S. What got me thinking about the Eclipse is seein a Orange 3rd gen driving past me on the way to the Florida Gators game tonight since my favorite colors are Orange and blue lmao. Unfortunatly we lost but we all have our wins and losses ;)
This is way too relatable I’m a junior rn and I want to buy one of these and I’ve been playing games all my life about cars and I also live in Wisconsin 😂
Hey LIGER! Thank you for checking out the video. It's awesome to hear this is such a relatable story. When I filmed this video with Rob I really had no idea what a huge following these cars had. It's awesome to see so many people enjoying and relating to Rob's story. I'm in WI as well. I started this channel to tell inspiring stories that come from the heartland. We may have to put our toys into hibernation for 5 months, but there is some great car culture here.
Hey Michael. I filmed this episode and I recall the owner saying that they modified the exhaust from a V-6 Eclipse to fit the 4 cylinder engine and installed an aftermarket Muffler to give it the sound. This car sounded really cool with the custom exhaust and the turbo set up. Definitely unique. I'll see if I can get in touch with the owner to see if he can provide you with any additional information on the exhaust set up. Thanks for watching!!!
I love the video and i would really like to know the set up on the car because i have the exact same car and i would like to set up my car that way just for the sound of it i really like it.
Thank you for watching Angel. I don't personally own this car, but I produced the video. I can tell you the basics. It's a stock 2.4l 4-cylinder with a custom built turbo kit installed on it along with a custom tune. The exhaust installed on the car is from the V-6 model. It does have an aftermarket muffler, but I'm not aware of the brand. It has a full coil over suspension kit and Evo wheels installed. I'm not sure if the brake system was upgraded or not. I know that Rob was able to achieve the record quarter mile pass on drag slicks. I hope that helps. Thanks again for watching and please check out our other videos on the channel. My best!
this honestly makes me want to get 4g64 but I have the 6g72. and yes a turbo on both can be done. but it seems harder to get one made for the 6g72 compare to the 4g64.
KrazyTacoguy1 the 4-cylinder is better for Turbo but the 6 cylinder is better for full bolt ons a stock block 4-cylinder 3G with a small Turbo would barely be able to compete with a V6 stock block with the 5-speed manual
I just picked up a 3g eclipse but, its a gt. Im going to turbo it but from what i understand since the well is so small and its a 90° rotated motor the pipes are super tight and have to be almost custom made. At least thats what ive discovered so far.
I have the 03 eclipse with the V6 in it little more power than the 4-banger and just as fun to drive. Currently having to replace the entire clutch system. Have no clue what I'm doing wish me luck.
My brother in law is giving me his 02 eclipse gt Spyder 3g v6 and it’s an auto... kinda sad but I love the car... I might turbo charge it someday and manual swap it... if I get enough money I might awd swap it too...
I don't have any recommendations of where to get them. I got mine through a friend who owned his own car parts business at the time, which is no longer in business sadly
I have a question I have a boosted eclipse as well but I’m having an issue finding a tune for the ecu what ecu do you use and what program cause right now my car barely starts I need a tune please help
I don't own this car, but I produced the video. Rob was very active on the 3G forums and I'm pretty sure that he met a tuner on the forums that helped him tune the car. I wish I knew more for you, but that's the extent of my knowledge. I'll see if I can get in touch with Rob so he can respond to your question. Thanks for watching and be sure to check out our other videos.
wait wait wait how many lbs of boost were you running? I was told by a few people that these engines could hold up to 12lbs but I was also told by some people that it really couldn't hold any. I am confused I own a 2003 eclipse gs
How do I go about getting my eclipse featured? We ran a 12.0 last Friday and we are continually climbing! Next time at the track we'll be in the low 11/high 10s
I have a smiliar story as yours being a class below, long story short i just bought a 2003 Mitsubishi Gts 3.0 but it sucks cause is a auto. is it possible to turn it auto to manual?
![Blox Fruits Dragon Rework Update [Full Stream]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqDAp8udhm0/mqdefault.jpg)
Nice to see the 3G getting some love and respect.
Your story is an inspiration even to me a 3G owner who's is a sophomore in high school
literally never see a girl in these lol.
I always do....
Ive only seen one and it was in the SUV Crossover ;)
I have seen "chicks" go for the convertible Eclipse though, but isn't that true for most comfortables
Bought mine from a girl 🤔. She ended up clipping my fender a few months later in a coincidental crash. 😵
I've got one its a 04 Mitsubishi eclipse spyder gs convertible 😋
My V6 turbocharged '01 Eclipse hits only a 13.508 on average. I am inspired by your Eclipse!
No you do not have a 6-cylinder Eclipse turbocharged that only runs Thirteen's lmao my stock blog GTS did Thirteen's with full bolt ons in a ported intake manifold lol either you're lying out your ass or you have the worst built 3G ever
I'd love to see a video of your N/A Eclipse running 13s with the stock 6G72 :)
mitsumike 6g72 what is full bolt ons pls help and where do I get that
or cant drive
I want to make mine turbo but im scared to do it :(
I got the 01 eclipse GT. I love it
Hopefully I’ll get to drive mine Monday waiting for registration

Update I finally did it I obtained the fuckin Mitsubishi Eclipse!!!!!!

Great video! I had a 96 Eagle Talon, 2004 Eclipse 4 cylinder, 2007 Eclipse GT. I miss those cars, wish they still built them.
This is awesome, now I know thorough trail an error, one day I can work on my car too, this has given me the confidence to try, I really appreciate this. thanks brother.
I put the Acura rims and spacers on mine. Looks just like yours.
I noticed you took the caps off. lol

I’m hopefully buying a 2003 gt tmro I want to turbo it
Very nice video ! Inspiring !
Thank you Rey R! Be sure to check out our other content and thank you for commenting. I really appreciate it.
I got the same car and I gave it to my lady for her first car. Title in hand and she loves it. Time to do some mods. I knew this car was a beast
Amazing! I'm so inspired now. I think going in and buying a 3rd gen eclipse is gunna be fun.
I had an 04 spyder gt as my first car. Amazingly fun and are pretty bullet proof.

Ah nice! I'm hoping soon I can make the eclipse plan happen. I want to build one of these cars
lol you're like the first one in this comment thread who doesn't have one. I hope you made it happen!! Just got mine today.

My 97 gst is fuckin solid for a 20 year old car, its reliable and still fast. 4g64 block
I think those are evo wheels its probably the most beautiful 3g i have seen
Those are indeed Evo wheels :)
2001 eclipse gt right here in Wisco, definitely inspiring
I've been working on boosting my eclipse for 3 months now getting part by part and nobody will tune it and I'm wondering what you used to tune it

Is there any hope of getting anything of substance out of the sohc 6g72 engine?
I’ll just get i4 and do a Evo swap that’ll be the easiest
03Eclipse you ever thought about selling it i would be really interested!!
I wanna put turbo in mine.
I will now subscribe. Now I getting a 3g I was hating on them for a bit now I have major respect for them. I'm getting one
Tony Stark I do not get why everybody hates them.
Explosive Gamer bro honest I work at Jdm in signal hill California. We have e two of them. Those motors can be made to make some serious power bro. Oh yeah I got mines. By the way🙅🙆🙏

Jordan Price umm I have both. the v6 is not the worst to get. you must have never driven the v6 one
It's so nice and the mods are perfect
I LOVE THE ECLIPSE . THIS PROJECT IS AWESOME

Wow so cool! Never knew that Ben Affleck liked Mitsubishi’s!!
Ben Affleck?? I don't think anyone has ever said I looked like him 🤣
That's awesome! I have am 03 gt but they dont make turbo kits for it.
i'm 7 months late but i'm saving up all of my money and hopefully in a year i'll be able to get this www.turbokits.com/Mitsubishi/Eclipse/Turbo_Kits/TSI_Extreme_Turbo_Kit/387/
@@theslimsim5587 first time I see a turbo kit for this car. Thanks. I have a 03 gt
TheSlimSim totally saving up for mine
He should have been playing gran turismo instead of need for speed ;)
Just got an '03 manual 3.0 in that exact same color. Can't wait to mod it.
EDIT: omg this is like a 3rd gen Eclipse's owners forum :p
Love this video man awesome job!!
Very good video
Love the car I have a 2000 eclipse gs
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoy the video. Be sure to subscribe as we have more cool stories to come.
My buddy Rob owns this car. He's had it for 15 years. It's one of the coolest 3G's I've seen and I'm more of a muscle car guy myself.
Love your car bud!
i always had a heart for these cars since a kid im gladly a proud owner of one
I had a 2001 Stratus R/T with the 3.0 and 5spd. Bought it new and sold it in 2008, really miss that car and the 2 door twin of the Eclipse seem to be unobtanium now to find one in good or better condition
i would love to pick robs brain i have a similar story to this would like to know where he got all the parts i have an 05 eclipse gs and would like to know about what parts he used so on and so forth
I'm here in Milwaukee and I just bought my first car, a 2003 v6 gts, and I'm trying to learn more about cars in general from this car alone. Honestly, a great inspiration, knowing someone close is achieving a future goal of mine. If there are things or tips I can do to work on my car, I would appreciate contacting you. :)
Hi Josh! My name is Don and I produced this video. It's a part of a series of videos. I will try to get in touch with the owner of the car and see if he can respond or send you a DM. I appreciate you enjoying the video and thank you for your comment.
So I havs a 4gen eclipse spyder 07 and care had been in the family for 4 years and I was made owner of it for my 17th birthday and all I gotta say i love the car. It is the gs but haha is the 69 so it gots potential. Its handles well around the corners and when the mivec hits its a nice feeling. I love the car and hope to mod it soon. It will take time but patience will pay off
Good for you man, I respect it bro💪🏽
Very nice!!
If only I had the $$ to do something of this level! Very cool to see this!
Thank you for watching the video Jake! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I own a 03 currently installing a loud exhaust on it, looking to make it turbo but I don’t know if the engine would have problems!
Nice VIDEO....
I have a 2002 eclipse rs with the 5 speed manual and it has high profile or whatever it's called racing pistons and valves with an open exhaust system, I've hit 150 mph street racing but that was a couple years ago I'm more into rally tracks
im just seeing this video haha im late , another turbo 3g here 👌🏻
by the way im breaking your record sorry lol
@@ludpilo8876 Did you break it yet?! :)
nope lol havent tooken it yet keep breaking trans
@@ludpilo8876 I know how that goes 🤣🤣
2nd car added to the list lol, considering this along with the Toyota Celica, also planning on getting some sort of sports car in my junior year too lol hopefully in a budget in like $3k-$7k so might take a whole year to save up but man it'll be worth it. So probably Senior year but meh I already have a 2005 Rav4 S to be happy with for now. ;)
P.S. What got me thinking about the Eclipse is seein a Orange 3rd gen driving past me on the way to the Florida Gators game tonight since my favorite colors are Orange and blue lmao. Unfortunatly we lost but we all have our wins and losses ;)
Very inspirational I like it
Thank you ThatGuy Mar! Be sure to check out the other videos on the channel. We're hoping to start producing more content again this year.
Still one of my fav cars I’ve ever owned and all I did was a CAI and exhaust lol
This is way too relatable I’m a junior rn and I want to buy one of these and I’ve been playing games all my life about cars and I also live in Wisconsin 😂
Hey LIGER! Thank you for checking out the video. It's awesome to hear this is such a relatable story. When I filmed this video with Rob I really had no idea what a huge following these cars had. It's awesome to see so many people enjoying and relating to Rob's story. I'm in WI as well. I started this channel to tell inspiring stories that come from the heartland. We may have to put our toys into hibernation for 5 months, but there is some great car culture here.
Dream Machines video series facts bro
Here 700 subscribers thank for making me have some inspiration for my 3g
Thank you sunshine the star switcher! Really appreciate it.
I miss my 2G GS-T Spyder and my 3G 2.5
you are my hero dude, I want to put a turbo on my 4g64, my goal is more or less 300 hp
What exhaust do u have on your eclipse? I have the identical car as you same colour and everything! I really like the sound of your exhaust
Hey Michael. I filmed this episode and I recall the owner saying that they modified the exhaust from a V-6 Eclipse to fit the 4 cylinder engine and installed an aftermarket Muffler to give it the sound. This car sounded really cool with the custom exhaust and the turbo set up. Definitely unique. I'll see if I can get in touch with the owner to see if he can provide you with any additional information on the exhaust set up. Thanks for watching!!!
Thanks for the help I appreciate it
Definitely motivating bro I’m looking into dohc swap and turbo for my rs. Do you remember where you got your turbo parts?
I love the video and i would really like to know the set up on the car because i have the exact same car and i would like to set up my car that way just for the sound of it i really like it.
Thank you for watching Angel. I don't personally own this car, but I produced the video. I can tell you the basics. It's a stock 2.4l 4-cylinder with a custom built turbo kit installed on it along with a custom tune. The exhaust installed on the car is from the V-6 model. It does have an aftermarket muffler, but I'm not aware of the brand. It has a full coil over suspension kit and Evo wheels installed. I'm not sure if the brake system was upgraded or not. I know that Rob was able to achieve the record quarter mile pass on drag slicks. I hope that helps. Thanks again for watching and please check out our other videos on the channel. My best!
hey guys I love this video. is there any way to get in touch with him .
He has his own channel called 03Eclipse. You can try to PM him there.
Or you could try tagging 03Eclipse in your comment.
this honestly makes me want to get 4g64 but I have the 6g72. and yes a turbo on both can be done. but it seems harder to get one made for the 6g72 compare to the 4g64.
I also have a 6g72 and they really dont like being boosted. Something Something breathing issues in the top end. Thinking about buying a gs.
KrazyTacoguy1 the 4-cylinder is better for Turbo but the 6 cylinder is better for full bolt ons a stock block 4-cylinder 3G with a small Turbo would barely be able to compete with a V6 stock block with the 5-speed manual

@@eduardodelgado7873 any link for a turbo kit for the 4G64?
I just picked up a 3g eclipse but, its a gt. Im going to turbo it but from what i understand since the well is so small and its a 90° rotated motor the pipes are super tight and have to be almost custom made. At least thats what ive discovered so far.
I have the 03 eclipse with the V6 in it little more power than the 4-banger and just as fun to drive. Currently having to replace the entire clutch system. Have no clue what I'm doing wish me luck.
My brother in law is giving me his 02 eclipse gt Spyder 3g v6 and it’s an auto... kinda sad but I love the car... I might turbo charge it someday and manual swap it... if I get enough money I might awd swap it too...
Where did you get the work done on your car? I just bought a 3G and was just curious. I’m out in Kenosha
Do you have like a list of the setup you have put into the Eclipse? I have an Eclipse of my own that I want to work on
What brand headlights do you have on your 3g? And where you got em?
Headlights are the Sonar projectors. They have one CFL halo ring that I never hooked up. I also replaced the bulbs with 6000K xenon HIDs
Do you have a recommended to site to get them?.. if i was to get those lights i wouldnt connect the halos either
I don't have any recommendations of where to get them. I got mine through a friend who owned his own car parts business at the time, which is no longer in business sadly
I have a question I have a boosted eclipse as well but I’m having an issue finding a tune for the ecu what ecu do you use and what program cause right now my car barely starts I need a tune please help
I don't own this car, but I produced the video. Rob was very active on the 3G forums and I'm pretty sure that he met a tuner on the forums that helped him tune the car. I wish I knew more for you, but that's the extent of my knowledge. I'll see if I can get in touch with Rob so he can respond to your question. Thanks for watching and be sure to check out our other videos.
Has anyone ever done the 3.9l bhm mivec dohc swap
eclipse gang 💯
wait wait wait how many lbs of boost were you running? I was told by a few people that these engines could hold up to 12lbs
but I was also told by some people that it really couldn't hold any.
I am confused
I own a 2003 eclipse gs
I own a 3G ‘01 Eclipse, and I wish I could do this
Bro omg I’m a junior and I got my first 01 Mitsubishi Eclipse
Its a Cool-hatch-back with sports car heritage
How do I go about getting my eclipse featured? We ran a 12.0 last Friday and we are continually climbing! Next time at the track we'll be in the low 11/high 10s
Where did you get the 03-05 clear turns signals!!!
I am going to buy a 01 3g gt soon. Imma make it be cool and do similar mods under the hood.
I have a smiliar story as yours being a class below, long story short i just bought a 2003 Mitsubishi Gts 3.0 but it sucks cause is a auto. is it possible to turn it auto to manual?
