The first-generation Mitsubishi Eclipse was the product of Diamond-Star Motors (DSM), a joint venture with Chrysler that also produced the Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser. While base models offered economical fun, the lineup's stars were the turbocharged GS-T and all-wheel drive GSX. These cars featured the legendary 4G63T 2.0L inline-four, which produced 195 horsepower and became a favorite of the tuning community for its immense power potential.
Decades of affordable performance meant many Eclipses were heavily modified, raced, and wrecked, making clean, original examples incredibly scarce today. Collectors prize the GSX for its advanced-for-the-time all-wheel drive system and potent turbo engine, a combination that made it a formidable performance car. Its prominent role in 90s import culture and films like 'The Fast and the Furious' has cemented its iconic status.
Buying Tips
- Check 4G63T engines for signs of 'crank walk' by checking for excessive crankshaft end play. Earlier 6-bolt engines (1990-1992.5) are generally more durable than later 7-bolt versions.
- Inspect common rust areas like strut towers, rocker panels, wheel arches, and the floor pans, particularly on cars from wet climates.
- On all-wheel drive GSX models, look for leaks from the transfer case and listen for whining noises that can indicate differential issues.
- Prioritize unmodified examples. A stock car is a rare find and a much safer investment than one with a history of questionable modifications.
- For turbo models, check the turbocharger for shaft play and watch for blue smoke from the exhaust on acceleration, which indicates worn seals.
