3rd Gen Eclipse's aren't DSM's.

diamond star motors ended in 99, the next model year2000 is the current body style for the eclipse, there for no DSM on them

Evo did pretty much save mitsu anyone that does some research will discover this on thier own. not the 3g contrary to popular belief.

And mitsu warranty work isn't the best around i'll agree.Mitsu has voided many warrantys becuase they claim people are driving to hard and just not on the Evo's my 45yr old mother had a diamante and something went bad with it and they told her to quit driving it so hard, its not thier problem. Honda's customer service is better.

 

Oh and they don't have the 4g63 motors anymore, its the 4g64 motor with is a 2.4L SOHC motor thats slightly more powerful then the NA 4g63's running around. Still a mid to high 16 second car

 

I have to call him out on this also. My friend drives a third gen eclipse and it has about 70,000 miles on it and she is having all the problems in the world with it from the peace of **** car skipping at regular to needing new sparkplugs His car is also a turbo and my 1.6 L civic out ran the POS eclipse. Truthfully I think eclipse's are a POS car just like ford so don't fu#$ wit this. HA HA

If you want to talk **** about an eclipse bring it to Darlington Drag strip and we will finish this once and for all.. Darlington is in South Carolina by the way if you decide to seriously come this way bitch boy.

 

sorry if you want to talk **** about a HONDA not an eclipse.

 

yeah they do, the evo has a 4g63T. just not in the eclipses. and yeah, the dsm doesnt incluse the 3rd gen.

 

The bottom line is that Eclipse SUCKS. Besides being a chick car, they are highly unreliable (they do look pretty good though), and are known to have a lot of problems after 60k. I agree, you can make them fast (just like any other car, if you have money), but they are not going to last. I think that majority of people are looking for reliability when they go out to buy a car. Cars like Civic can go over 200,000 miles without having any major problems.

Just to give you an example. A friend of mine has a '96 Eclipse RS, and he needed to change his ECU at 65k. This problem is unheard in other japanese cars

MITSU SOLD OUT. they have some great cars, but sorry, the great ones dont have v6s under their hoods. America wants torque, so they sold out.


You guys have no idea what you're talking about. If america wanted torque than yeah that's what they got with the v6. The V6 has plenty of torque, especially off of the line. 210hp/200lb tq, out matches your stock civics anyday, so don't be jealous. Just because you guys regret buying a POS doesn't mean you have to go around bashing other cars. Who want to buy a POS civic? Not me, I love the power I get of my eclipse, of course I'm modded and everything, and I love it. I've raced plenty of you Honda lovers, and I haven't lost once to a honda yet. So before you continue to bash on us, go outside look at your car, look at your engine, and compare it to the options, the power, and everything else that the eclipse has, and you don't.

 

Go buy a real car guys, and stop all you're whining.[:@]

 

After the 2G Eclipse, they pretty much went downhill. The 1G and 2G are fine for reliability, and GSX's are fun as hell. Same thing eith the Evo: after the Evo V, they just went downhill. 4G63 is a kickass engine, no doubt. Trust me, you don't want a 3G Eclipse.

Bottom line: YOU don't know enough about cars to be stepping up here and talking **** about Honda when you yourself are clearly a complete amateur. Go try to find people your own age who will actually respect your lack of knowledge.
