1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse Reviews
“135 W/ ~1000 Rpm Before Redline.”
'95 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS. 5 speed, no features except for a power sunroof, go figure. Aftermarket spoiler, Mille Miliga wheels, intake, MSD ignition. Very fun car to drive.
was my first car. is a good first car to own.
“Not Your Ordinary Rs With A 420a Powerplant. It's An Rs-turbo With A 420a Powerplant.”
Most reliable engine I've ever driven. Runs smooth since the day I bought it. Since then added some bolt on modifications such as a cold air intake, and full 2.5" exhaust. Output was about 195hp at the crank. Now I have bolted on a T3/T4 T04E Turbo; 38mm external wastegate; 12:1 FMU; 550cc injectors, Screamin' Demon coil pack; manual boost controller; turbo-timer; wideband air/fuel; Interior: Short shifter kit; Greddy weighted shift nob; pillar pod containing vaccum/boost gauge; air/fuel gauge; and an Alpine head unit. With the performance modifications I am now running about 6-7lbs of boost putting me to about 220-230hp at the crank and 200hp+ at the wheels. Uses a log style manifold and has little to none turbo lag. Instant power throughout the whole RPM range.

This car is a great bargain sports car, if your looking for something that can keep up and even beat those pesky american muscle cars. It will get spanked by several other imports including its cousin the EVO, the RX-7 the WRX STI and a few others.
This car was very fun... It ran pretty quick for a stock 1.8 engine... Car was too small for me, and I am only 5'6... I felt unsafe in such a crowded car... The back tires make a whirring sound on most 95-98 models after about 60,000 miles... Speaker setup was great for sound...
