For sale, very clean turbo eclipse. Car has low miles, under 100k. I bought this car a couple of years ago and it was 100% stock. The car sat for many years since the previous owner couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. Being a mechanic, I purchased the car to fix up. When I received the car I went over everything and determined the ecu was bad. Sure enough, it had leaky caps which was common on these cars. Sent the ecu out to ECMtuning and had it rebuilt. After the computer was fixed the engine ran great, but noticed the trans would scratch 2nd gear. So I replaced the trans with a rebuilt one out of a 91 gst. (stronger trans) Car shifts gears perfectly now. Running Redline MT90 synthetic fluid. The previous owner threw a lot of new parts at this car trying to fix it which only benefitted me. These parts include a new 14b turbo charger and timing belt. After I got the car running happy again I went over the whole car. Car sat so I checked and cleaned the brake calipers, flushed all the fluids, and did a full tune up on the engine. Car has new plugs, wires, fuel filter, cv shafts, and gaskets. I did a couple of easy mods to the car. These include evo 510cc injectors, 2g maf, safc, and prothane motor mounts. For tuning I have an innovate wide band o2 sensor and palm pilot data logger. The engine has zero emissions equipment currently installed, but I still have all the parts. I have also removed the balance shafts since they seem to always fail on Mitsubishi engines. Since I bought this car stock, I have all the original parts that will go with the car. The car has zero issues. Everything works except the ac was deleted. Engine has updated 3g lifters and does not tick. This car does not knock, tick, spit, sputter, or smoke. The engine is original and put down 155psi across the board on a compression test. Also all boost leaks were fixed and turbo spools nicely. Currently the car is running 15 lbs of boost on a very safe tune. I data logged zero knock at a 10.5 afr under full boost. There is a lot of power to be extracted from this pocket rocket. I would drive this car anywhere. Only flaws with the car is: it's 23 years old, so its has some small dingers and rock chips. Paint itself is shiny and not faded. For an Illinois car it is in exceptional condition. Car was rust free when I purchased it. As it sits now it has two very small spots that are only surface rust. These spots are in the pictures and are easily repairable. Otherwise this is a very solid car. Zero rust on the undercarage. Have all receipts for repairs I have made. Also have the factory repair manuals for this car. Interior is in great shape with no tears or major defects. Still has the factory floor mats! Trust that you are buying this car from a mechanic and it runs great.

2014 Mitsubishi Outlander earns Top Safety Pick+ award [w/video]
Fri, 02 Aug 2013The Mitsubishi Outlander officially is a safe vehicle, earning a good rating in all of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash test categories - good enough for the agency to give it the Top Safety Pick+ award. The small sport utility vehicle's little sibling, the Outlander Sport, received the Top Safety Pick award earlier this year.
According to the IIHS, to earn the Top Safety Pick+ rating vehicles must be rated good in at least four out of the five crash tests (including the difficult small overlap front test) and earn no less than acceptable in the rear crash test. The Top Safety Pick rating requires that vehicles be rated good in the moderate overlap front, side, rollover and rear tests, but there's no minimum rating on the small overlap front crash test.
Mitsubishi designed the Outlander to have greater roof strength (the roof now can support up to five times the SUV's weight) and to withstand the moderate overlap front crash test and the recently introduced small overlap front crash test, both of which evaluate the ability of vehicles to protect their occupants in crashes that bypass the traditional front crumple zone. Crumple zones are designed into vehicles to allow them to deform in a way that protects passengers in the event of a crash. The Outlander was one of two small SUVs to earn a good rating in the small overlap test, the other being the 2014 Subaru Forester. The Subaru earned a Top Safety Pick rating.
Angry dad smashes son's Mitsubishi with Xbox
Fri, 17 Oct 2014It's normal for parents to get frustrated with their kids sometimes. Moms and dads have high hopes for the success of their brood, and when the youngsters let them down, it hurts. That's not an excuse to be destructive, though. Especially not to the point of destroying a Mitsubishi Montero Sport with an Xbox 360 like in this video.
The clip claims to be about a dad upset that his kid doesn't have a job and stays home playing video games. The guy takes his anger out not just on the console but also his son's car. The Mitsubishi definitely takes its fair share of the punishment here even after the Xbox is broken.
If this were real, it would be a pretty horrifying fight to watch. But while we can't be entirely certain, we're almost positive that this argument is completely staged for a number of reasons. The major one is that the same uploader also has videos with millions of total views of the same "Psycho Dad" dropping an Xbox in a pool, running over games with a lawn mower and taking an axe to a laptop. Furthermore, just looking at the clip itself, people don't generally wait for the other person to stop talking when yelling at each other. It also seems a bit suspicious that the kid directly speaks to the audience at one point.
Japanese government chides Mitsubishi over recall delays
Sat, 27 Apr 2013An official with the transport ministry in Japan has some stern words for Mitsubishi, taking the carmaker to task for not being more proactive and honest about its recalls. An investigation into The Tri-Star last December found Mitsubishi was tardy investigating problems and didn't explain itself forthrightly to the transport ministry about the issues. None of Mitsubishi's actions were illegal, and we should stress that this is a dialogue with Mitsubishi in Japan, not Mitsubishi Motors North America.
The official advised the automaker to, "Come up with plans for improvement, implement them and report them to the ministry." It looks like the company will get more practice than it wants in that department, having to announce another recall for the Outlander PHEV over software and hardware glitches. Those recalls come just after Mitsu finally figured out the problem with overheating lithium-ion batteries that caused a production halt of the plug-in hybrid SUV.
