I am the second owner of this eclipse and have had plenty of fun with it.  It is currently sitting around because I am not around to drive it.  When I bought it in 2007, it had a dent in the passenger side fender, door, and hood.  There was a massive amount of rust under the rear deck lid.  Once I had time, I tore the thing apart, and replaced the hood, fender, and hatch.  I took the third brake light out of a gs wing and fabbed it into the gst wing.  Then I gave it a new paint job with white and orange pearl mixed over a bright white base coat.  Once I decided on colors, I had pin stripes painted on as well as the cars name, "evil" painted on the bumper.  At that time, I also replaced the rear hub assemblies and all the brakes.  Now both of the fenders are a bit dinged up, after a few years dealing with city parking, and the windshield has a nice crack.  There is also a bit of rust under the hood and a small spot by the gas refill.  The tranny needs some work, but I have been driving it for almost 4 years with no 4th gear.  It has worked for me and if I were to keep it, it would be my next project. 

I have recently replaced the headlights with aftermarket halo lights.  The turbo was rebuilt in Summer of 2011.  The water pump and timing belt were replaced this past November.  This car also comes with 18" Antera 3 piece rims with summer tires.  2 tires probably only have 1 summer left on them, but the other 2 have some good life left.  The stock rims are currently mounted with winter tires on them.  When I got the car there was already a GReddy blow off valve, Apexi turbo timer, cold air intake, nology plug wires, and a 3" magnaflow exhaust.  The 3 aftermarket guages down the A pilar are the boost guage, air/fuel ratio, and oil pres. guage.  Wires from subs I used to have are still ran to the trunk, they just need to be reconnected.  The head unit installed is Alpine. 

With the new water pump, timing belt, and rebuilt turbo, this car is ready to keep going.  Like any 15 year old car, it takes some attention and fixes every once in a while.  Anyone who has owned one understands.  It's a fun and quick car and it is definitely hard for me to let it go. 

Winning bidder is responsible for pickup or lining up shipping.  Full payment is required at the time of pickup in cash is preferred.  I obtain the right to end this sale at any time I see fit.  Thanks for looking.

I wanted to to post an update with a couple things I have thought of concerning the condition of the car.  The driver side door has some damage(body work) that's not very noticeable and still opens fine.  A clip on the passenger side door handle has broken off, so the handle is loose, but stays on the car and still works.  The hatch "shocks" probably need replaced soon as they don't always hold up the hatch.  The sunroof rattles when it is open and you go over bumps.  All it needs is tightening, but I forgot to do so before I left.  The upholstry for the inside cover for the sunroof is starting to come off.  There are "racing" seatbelts installed, but still have stock belts.  The passenger side racing belts' clip is broken.  The driverside seat has a tear in it.  I'm not sure you can see it in the pics.  A couple of the summer wheels that come with the car have a few spots where they hit a curb, but the chrome rim can be replaced since they are a 3 piece rim.  That is all I can think of.  I want to be as honest as possible, so please, if you have any questions, let me know.  Thanks

Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross will be crossing over to the US sometime in the fall

Tue, Feb 28 2017

Here it is, Mitsubishi's latest effort to take a piece of the CUV pie, the Eclipse Cross. The crossover makes its official debut at the Geneva Show, and it looks just aggressive enough to be unique, but not so strange that it will scare away the average buyer. Most interesting are the aggressive cues cribbed from the XR-PHEV II Concept, like the forward-raked rear hatch, chunky rear fenders, and deep crease along the side. However, the shape is still clearly crossover, and the nose isn't too radical. In fact, it may be the most attractive version of Mitsubishi's shield grille yet. Interestingly, the Eclipse Cross is within an inch or two size-wise compared with the existing Outlander Sport, though this should change down the road when a newer, smaller Outlander Sport is introduced. The interior follows a similar theme to the exterior. The most striking aspect is the center stack, which slants downward toward the shifter and juts out over the climate control buttons. But everything is finished in simple, inoffensive black and aluminum-look trim. The sliding and reclining rear seats should be useful for comfort and cargo space. Next to the shifter is a touch-pad that looks extremely similar to the pad Lexus uses for its systems. A couple of our editors find the Lexus version to be rather awful, so hopefully Mitsubishi has refined and improved it. As a back-up, you can simply use the touch screen perched atop the dash, which may be more handy for using the car's default user interface, or the supported Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Also on the dash is a pop-up heads-up display similar to that in current Mazdas. View 11 Photos One big selling point for the Eclipse Cross is its standard all-wheel drive. There is also just one engine and one transmission. Power comes from a turbocharged 1.5-liter gasoline inline-four, and it's channeled through a CVT with 8 ratios that can be manually shifted. Mitsubishi has yet to announce output for the four-pot. Other markets will have the option of a 2.2-liter turbocharged diesel four-cylinder with an 8-speed automatic, but it won't make the trip to the States. Europe will be the first to get the Eclipse Cross, where it will show up at dealers this fall. Afterward, it will arrive in other markets, including the US. So expect it to appear sometime at the end of this year, or possibly the start of next year. Pricing has not been announced yet. Related Video:

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV US launch delayed over battery shortage

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Mitsubishi resumed full-scale battery production in August after a five-month shutdown due to a safety investigation. Supplier Lithium Energy Japan has been delivering 4,000 battery packs each month since September, but that's apparently still not enough to fill the overseas inventory pipeline for the Outlander PHEV and i subcompact EV while launching the Outlander PHEV here in the US. So instead of the previous tentative launch date of Fall 2014, the plug-in hybrid's Stateside on-sale date has been pushed back until 2015.
That's according to Automotive News, which also notes that Mitsubishi has sold 11,300 plug-in Outlanders this year, though that number reflects the production stoppage over the battery issues. As of April, battery supplier LEJ will be able to supply 5,000 packs per month just for the Outlander, but company president Osamu Masuko has gone on record saying that production will have to rise above that in order to make the US launch.
Every Mitsubishi dealer (and hopefully a fair number of consumers) will be looking forward to a crossover that, for the moment, doesn't really have natural rivals. The Outlander PHEV can drive 32 miles on electricity alone, has a top speed of 75 miles per hour in EV mode and offers all-wheel drive with a towing capacity of over 3,000 pounds. The model should get an impressive MPGe rating from the EPA when it finally arrives and it figures to be a bellwether for the plug-in Outlander Sport and Pajero utility vehicles that are expected to arrive after it. Hopefully 2015 will be its year.
