I found a killer deal for a '99 Eclipse that I just couldn't pass up. I needed something to daily while the wife's car is in the shop and she's got my HHR. Here's a pic of the new addition to the driveway. When her car gets outta the shop, I'm thinkin about turning this into a big project with some boost in the future

pretty nice, always wanted one of them

The rental gave me one of them when I had to go from Philly to NY. They gave me a discount for giving me a 2 door because I reserved a 4-door economy car (I didn't care; I was driving solo anyway).

Although the rental was an automatic, it was a surprisingly fun car to drive. Handled nice.

Good luck and many miles. :thumb:

I am curious as a former Eclipse owner/Salesman. Is it the GS or GT. If it is the GSX, it is more than worth the updates. Please let me know.:smile:

If its a 4G64 engine and you need some help turbo charging it, hit me up, I've got some links to various sites for turbocharging the 4G64. I'm almost done with doing a 4G64 Turbo in my AWD 5 speed summit van.

4G63t is tons of fun :cool:

I had an awesome 300+ HP 90 Talon
12 Second 92 GSX
POC 93 GSX AT

OTOH - At the track I smeared 3rd gear in the 4G63t powered Eric Plebani built Mighty Max 4x4 featured in the first Mischief video.

Everything was custom, it cost too much for everything and it was a royal PITA so I traded it for a loss just to keep from lighting a rag in the filler tube.

It's a '99 RS 2.0L non-turbo. Not sure if its the 4G63 or not. Still kinda new to the whole mitsu thing :D

That's a 4g63 front wheel drive
If you really want to find out about them there's probably a Club DSM chapter in Texas somewhere - Google and ye shall find

I thought so. I just didn't want to assume (cause we all know what happens when you assume) The first car I ever did a motor-swap on was a '96 GST with the 4G63T

Well you don't have either 4G63 or 4G64, apparently you have a 420A motor. While that is some what bad news, you can turbo the 420A. Its not as strong a motor as the 4G motors, but I've seen it done before. I don't have no real links for turboing it though, but I'm sure you can google up some. Either way I think its still a nice project car.

The Eclipse was available in seven trim levels: Base[Only available in 1996.5 (mid-model year)], RS, GS, GS Spyder, GS-T, GS-T Spyder, and GSX.

Second generations (1995–99) cars:

* Eclipse: Base FWD model equipped with a 140 hp 2.0 L 16-valve DOHC Chrysler 420A engine
* Eclipse RS: Equipment Upgraded FWD model equipped with a 140 hp 2.0 L 16-valve DOHC Chrysler 420A engine
* Eclipse GS: Equipment upgraded FWD model equipped with a 140 hp (100 kW) 2.0 L 16-valve DOHC Chrysler 420A engine
* Eclipse GS Spyder: Convertible FWD model equipped with a 141 hp (105 kW) 2.4L 16-valve SOHC Mitsubishi 4G64 engine
* Eclipse GS-T: Hardtop FWD model equipped with a 210 hp (160 kW) turbocharged 2.0 L 16-valve DOHC Mitsubishi 4G63 engine
* Eclipse GS-T Spyder: Convertible FWD model equipped with a 210 hp (160 kW) turbocharged 2.0 L 16-valve DOHC Mitsubishi 4G63 engine
* Eclipse GSX: AWD model equipped with a 210 hp (160 kW) turbocharged 2.0 L 16-valve DOHC Mitsubishi 4G63 engine

I'll butt out here, I'm a 1G guy :p:

My only experience with Eclipse was my wife bought one long ago.
(I think she got a lemon)..It spent more time being flat-bedded back to the dealer than she drove it.

But best luck with yours..

Well first off, Put the updates into the HHR. But since I'm not an asshole make sure that you go T-4 or T-5.
