1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse 2 Dr GSX Turbo AWD Hatchback Reviews

Performance is very good make you want to add more stuff to it, can be cramp in the back seat, sexy look, cheap if you work and give an average of 270 MPG, pull very strong and make you want to step on the gas.

Once built, its got a very reliable engine. Dont rely on the stock one because it will most likely let you down. The 2G body is awesome and is even sexier when left sleeper. The 2.0 engine allows you at least 20mpg unless you go stroker but you're gonna want to step on it cause the hissing of the turbo gripping on all fours will tempt you beyond belief.

Owned it, and got it to 390AHWP then crashed it haha... 6-bolt swap, Hahn Race craft BIG EVO III 16g turbo w/ ported waste gate to 35mm, VENOM intake manifold, Greddy 24v FMIC, HKS SSQV BOV, MAF Blow-thru set-up, 880cc RIS injectors, APEX-I Turbo-back, Cobalt Boost Gauge, Cobalt Shift Lite, Greddy Turbo Timer, Limited Slip Differential, Exedy stage III clutch and lightweight flywheel... 25lbs of BOOST

Got 230000 miles out of my Betty Sue, it was a thrill when it first came out, taught me the meaning of 'joy ride'.  If you take care of it, it should last you a long time, I did regular maintenace, using full synth oil three times a year and premium fuel.  I only put on minor modifications like a K&N air filter and Blitz blow off value.  There was turbo lag I noticed during it's latter years.  The last three years I noticed the panelling falling apart and other interior items seemed to be made of cheap material. The AWD was nice in the winter and rain.  Overall it was a fun car to drive and had some good times with it. Always a crowd pleaser. I will miss it.
