Quick car handles very well little mods to make very quick. Car does require a lot of attention and maintenance but if you keep up on the car it will be a dream car for sure. The cost of the car is cheap and well maintained the gas mileage can stay in the 30mpg range even heavily modded if you run the right set up and have a street/track tune separate. Car is amazingly fun to drive and has a lot of people second guessing what the car is capable after i race them or they come along for a little joy ride. Dont knock it till you race it or ride in it

Well, the saying - "DSMs - turning ordinary people into mechanics since 1989" - holds true. I probably never worked on a car aside from changing a tire until I got this thing, and it is all starting to pay off. I fell in love with this car the moment I saw it, and I had to have it. A quick trip to the bank and some haggling, and I drove it home. In my opinion, 95-99 Eclipses have one of the most appealing looks ever put out, 97-99 bumpers preferably. Overall I would certainly recommend a turbo Eclipse or Talon to anyone, but do yourself a favor and take care of the maintenance first, because you'll only wear things out faster as you add power and drive harder.

Completely rebuilt. Greddy TD05h 18-G turbo with a stage 4 intercooler. New heads, pistons, cam, 90lb injectors. Right now pushing 400fwhp at 5000rpm and 17psi of boost. Can leave evo's, sti's, and most imports in the dust. It has full Tien coilovers and 18 in motegi rims.

This is my third Eclipse, 2nd turbocharged one. When in the right hands, these cars can be very economically and reliably enhanced to become a very quick, fun car to drive. Unfortunately, most turbo Eclipses have been abused, poorly modded, and left in rough shape. My performance mods to this car include a Dynomax turbo-back 2.5" exhaust, full K&N Cold-air intake with short-ram intake, large front mount intercooler, Walbro 255LPH fuel pump, short-throw shifter, and a manual boost controller set at 12psi. Appearance mods include smoked taillights, LED interior lights, custom painted rims, tinted glass,a-pillar gauge holder with Autometer water, boost, and oil pressure gauges, and custom Ralli-Art floormats. These cars have great build quality, the only mechanical issue I've had since I bought it was a fuel pump replacement, which I upgraded to a Walbro. The cargo room is astronomical! I can fit two white water kayaks inside with the back seats folded down and no passenger. There isn't really any room for a passenger in the back seat. Aftermarket parts for these cars are surprisingly cheap and numerous.

Cheap easy power. Low drag. Good gas mileage (30+mpg) 140 traps have been done on completely stock block. Fwd quickly becomes hassle after a few bolt ons. Suspension is out dated. 4g63 has records in almost every class from awd to rwd to fwd.
