GROOVE IN THIS ECLIPSE: ONE OF A KIND
There are a lot of cars out there, but not many with as much soul and vibe as this Black Beauty. I bought her from Ken Pohlmann, my professor of digital audio when I was a music engineering student at the University of Miami. Check Ken out - he is one of the foremost experts in the field of digital audio, literally wrote "the book" on the subject, and has since worked creating custom tuning algorithms for car audio manufacturers (amongst other endeavors). He did not chose just any car, he chose this one. As a musician, this car has driven me to many memorable gigs and festivals, allowing me to open for Tipper, Bluetech, Orchard Lounge, Sub Swara and Elliot Lipp amongst others. This car runs on music! The details: this is a 1996 Mitsubish Eclipse RS, manual transmission, w/ 114k miles on it. I purchased it from Ken in 2007 with only 20k miles on it, and have performed regular maintenance on it ever since; I have major service records for it and have changed the oil every 3-4k miles. The engine and body are stock, and I will include the aftermarket stereo and speakers. The body shows some normal paint chips and a few dents from 17 years on the road, but is overall very clean and free of structural rust (largely thanks to spending it's first 10 years in Florida). The few cosmetic rust spots are shown in the pictures above. Specifics as follows: Aftermarket Audio System: - Kenwood Excelon KDC-X990 head unit (originally a $350 unit!) - Infinity Kappa components in the front (tweeters and crossover are installed, haven't replaced the stock door speakers yet but I'll include the Kappa replacements) - Infinity Kappa coaxials in the rear - Wiring in place for a sub and amp, just plug and play - Belkin Bluetooth Car Hands-Free Kit for wireless music and phone calls, plus phone charging (this is wired into the head-unit Aux in. If you prefer I can replace the bluetooth with a 1/8" stereo aux plug in the glove box) Recent/Major Service Items: - 9/13/13, ~113k mi. - New front brake rotors and tires, new rear brake drums - 3/8/13, ~108k mi. - Throttle body and intake manifold thoroughly cleaned and re-sealed - 2/15/13, ~107k mi. - New clutch master and slave cylinders - 10/19/12, ~100k mi. - New right front wheel hub assembly and drive axle shaft, right lower ball joint, and outer tie rod end. Replaced Oil pressure sending switch - 10/4/11, ~83k mi. - New timing belt, timing belt tensioner, and water pump - 5/21/10, ~60k mi. - New spark plugs, ignition cables, fuel filter, and PCV Valve - 12/28/07, ~29k mi. - New clutch (replaced after a clutch cylinder failed on me while I was driving through the Everglades). This same incident was what caused the aforementioned damage to the 1st gear synchro, but being as the transmission was still fully functional (and has been ever since), I could never justify the cost of a transmission replacement/rebuild just for a gear that's really only shifted into from a full stop. The upshot of this is that if you try to shift into first from a roll, you have to be gentle and slow otherwise the gears will grind. As you can see, many of the typical service items that come up around 100k miles have been addressed and the car is 100% drivable, it's just time for something with a little more space in the back. Thanks for looking! |

Mitsubishi i-MiEV rallies in WAVE 2014 as support vehicle
Wed, Mar 12 2014Hey, we found somebody willing to drive a new Mitsubishi i-MiEV over 1,000 miles. The little-bitty four-seat electric vehicle will be used on the other side of the Pond as a support vehicle in the World Advanced Vehicle Expedition (WAVE) road rally through the Swiss Alps this spring. Brian Orr from EV Matters Ltd. made the purchase, as he'll be providing the support vehicle for Green MotorSport Ltd.'s hand-built utility concept vehicle that's being built with an eye on deploying it in developing countries, the Auto Channel says. Another i-MiEV will be an official, 900 kilogram-plus entrant in the rally, which begins May 31 in Sindelfingen, Germany and finishes a week later in Rigi, Switzerland, with 20 towns or so in between. As many as 70 teams will be joining the party which, in 2013, set a world record for electric-vehicle parades by sending 305 of them very quietly through Zurich. Despite a tiny price tag, i-MiEV sales in the US (where it's simply known as the i) have come to a near halt as Mitsubishi gets ready to shift its plug-in focus to PHEVs. While US i sales jumped 75 percent last year to 1,029 units, the Japanese automaker has moved just four units (!) domestically during the first two months of 2014.
Mitsubishi Electric unveils Emirai 4 autonomous EV concept for Tokyo
Mon, Oct 16 2017Mitsubishi Electric – a separate arm from Mitsubishi Motors – specializes in electronics. That includes things like air conditioning and refrigerators, but also covers a number of automotive systems and parts ranging from engine control units to power steering to electrification products. Now, Mitsubishi Electric is putting that expertise to use in the field of future mobility, unveiling an entire concept car, called the Emirai 4, for the Tokyo Motor Show. The Emirai 4 is electric, and can switch between normal and autonomous driving. It has a head-up display that uses augmented reality, powered by high-accuracy 3D mapping and positioning tech, to emphasize lane markings, making them more visible at night or in lousy weather. A central display is equipped with a sliding knob that can be assigned various functions, and is intended to help the driver keep their eyes on the road. The car is also equipped with a driver sensing system. It uses an interior camera to monitor the driver and passenger by detecting head position and posture. It can alert the driver to unsafe driving, respond to the driver or passenger's individual conditions to make them more comfortable, and aids in providing a smooth transition between autonomous and manual driving modes. The Emirai 4 also features an intelligent lighting system that detects when someone is going to open the door. That way, it can project an image onto the road and light up an alert on the rear of the car to alert passersby, hopefully preventing a collision with the door buy a pedestrian, cyclist, or another motorist. We'll be at the Tokyo Motor Show, so we'll be able to dig a little deeper into how these systems work (and get some better photos) when we see the Emirai 4 in person. This won't be the only concept bearing the Mitsubishi name at the Tokyo Motor Show. Mitsubishi Motors is planning its own unveiling of an electric vehicle called the e-Evolution. That all-wheel-drive SUV uses artificial intelligence to improve your driving skills. Mitsubishi has been teasing the e-Evolution, which borrows its name from the hardcore Lancer we all know and love, and it will get its full reveal next week. Related Video:
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is world's first production plug-in hybrid CUV [w/video]
Fri, 28 Sep 2012Though Mitsubishi first showed us the form of its 2013 Outlander in Geneva a while back, the company saved its plug-in hybrid crossover for this week's Paris Motor Show soiree.
Mitsubishi is quite proud to offer what it says is the world's first production PHEV utility vehicle, a new model that makes use of established technologies within the company. Learnings from the company's i-MiEV electric car have worked there way into a vehicle that can travel up to 55 kilometers (34 miles) on lithium-ion battery power. Two electric motors independently power the front and rear wheels of the Outlander, while the gasoline-powered engine can be used as a generator for the motors, or to power the vehicle directly. The target combined fuel economy for the Outlander PHEV is 61 km/liter, or roughly 143 miles per gallon.
The Outlander PHEV will be introduced in the Japanese market in the first part of 2013, with European and North American markets to follow on. There is no word about an on-sale date, but while you're pondering the possibilities, check out an official video by scrolling down and peruse our high-res image gallery.
