Sorry to say I'm selling the celi to my dad....... at least I'll still see it and it will stay in the family. I just went out and bought a 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell me what you think of her.

DSM = 1st/2nd gen eclipse, early 3000gt, Starion, and a couple other. Diamond Star Motors disbanded in the 90's. You're car is not DSM.

Greetings,

Nice ride, I also own a 2001 Eclipse Convertible (in addition to my Celica)
However,
As a public service announcement I feel I can say this because I own one...please check out google for mitsubishi issues.
There are many many consistent issues with these vehicles. Of all the problems I read other people having I experienced fact for fact about 2/3 of them.

Once they are repaired, the ride is nice. Love the color.

*Bites tongue* Nice ride. I think the Celica would have been a better choice, but that is just my opinion. IF that is what you like then best of luck to you. And Mitsubishi is not DSM like the others said. *Tongue is bleeding*

200 HP out of a 3.0L V6 that weighs 3263Lbs...Only 40% of the parts are from overseas...
0-60 in 8 seconds and only a 16 second 1/4 mile time...huge 16.4G tank

Basically you're driving a 2 door DIAMANTE.



I'll stick with my 215hp 6-speed GT-S that can pop 0-60 in less than 6 seconds,weighs 2500lbs and runs high 13's,low 14's...

Not to be hatin' but... FFS you shouldda stayed JDM! Atleast your car would have been able to see 200,000 miles someday.

Anyway, nice car. Very pretty. IDK about mechanical issues w/newer Eclipses, it's my understanding they're much better made than they were 10 years ago. I'm a die hard Toyota chick, and of course asking on a 6gc forum you're kinda barking up the wrong tree perhaps, but I say good for you and enjoy your new ride!

Are those chrome Falken Torque 5's? They look just like my rims only... chrome.

You see, my celica (even though I dont have pics of it) has 237000 with a flat black front drivers side quarter panel. It's an ST which are the absolute slowest cars in the world imo, the only way I would have kept it was if I was going to do a 3sgte swap but the threads that Ive read on here say that swapping a 3s into a 7a would be somewhere around $11000 and I only bought this car for $7000. I say good ridens to the celi even though shes never given me any problems in the 4 years that Ive had her. Now Im going to do just about all mechanical work to the eclipse to get it pretty fast. Im thinking about going ahead and dropping a supercharger in it, but would rather have a turbo. Dont know what I will do, I just got it on friday, sooooooooooo...... IM HAPPY!!!

hey i haev a great question for everyone....


if you went to the car dealer (carless of course). and they gave you a choice of a 96 celica , or a 02 eclipse, which would you take?

Supersprynt

#26

Both were free? I'd grab the Celica hands down. I had a g/f with an 02 Eclipse and the transmission went after 18k.

Only Mitsu I'd ever touch is an Evo.

I agree with above.

Show me a dyno sheet or there is no way i believe you.

I know a lot of people with vvtli's and there is just no way mate, sorry.

The TRD vesion only has just over 200BHP for god's sake. Are you telling me you are better at tuning than TRD?
