Faults:

I had the battery replaced, so I need the radio code (anyways I'll buy a new radio)besides that everything is running ok despite the high miles (highway) and since I live in Florida the lovebugs are destroying my paint

I just love eclipses, but I really want a GST or GSX is there any way to upgrade my GS?

General Comments:

I recently bought a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS. everything on it is good it runs strong, and its got good handling the only problem is that it has too many miles. it has about 170K. I'm saving money so I can rebuild my engine, but I was wondering if any one knows if its possible to make my eclipse engine a v-tec.

Faults:

The valve cover gasket was blown, but this was due to the previous owners neglect.

General Comments:

This car was amazing. It handled extremely well and hugged the curves. I lowered the car 1 1/4 in. and added after market suspension, and it was like the car was on rails, even at high speeds.

The engine was rebuilt at 160000, and it runs amazingly strong. I added a Blow Off Valve and a Turbo Timer, along with a cat-back exhaust system, now the car will do 100mph in third gear.

The clutch and transmission were very responsive, even at the red line. I previously owned an automatic of the same model and will never again own an automatic of any make or model vehicle.

I am 6 foot one, so I had a small problem with leg room.

I regret the fact that I had to get rid of the car because I could not afford to replace the 215/45/R17 tires.

Faults:

Dreaded crank walk at 60,000 miles (Recognized manufacturing flaw). *Engine rebuild required.

Windows leaked allowing water to seep into the inner driver's door. Rust has shorted out the power door lock actuator rendering the keyless entry system in-operatable.

Paint on both driver and passenger mirrors has faded.

E-brake cables rusted and fused; brake locked (late for work!).

Sunroof drive cable snapped. Inner sunroof shade fell off track.

Infinity CD Changer mysteriously malfunctioned. No longer recognizes disc's.

General Comments:

The car I love to hate. This automobile has provided a spectrum of emotions. The GSX is untouchable after installing about $3,000 of after market parts. But beware; Unless you are willing to invest thousands of dollars in general maintenance and repairs it will spend more time with your mechanic than parked in your driveway. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade my V-8 slayer for the world. I always get that warm feeling after embarrassing a guy who spent 3 times the money on an inferior product. After all my heartache of dealing with repairs I must admit my eclipse is running stronger than ever, but requires more attention than an 18 year old girlfriend.
