Get some pix up! It sounds hot! Hmm, that seems almost identical to the Generation II Mishibishi Eclipse.

Those cars are real sleepers. Friend has Mitsu 92' Eclipse GSX. I think they have like 192hp at the crank stock. With some minor "removal" of badges and upgraded turbo it becomes a sleeper! I can barely tell which one is the 4wd versions out there. Great find! get some pics of the bad boy up now!

I was looking at some of these, and I was gunna take a drive this Saturday to look at a few. The 2.0L Turbo engines make 195hp, and I think the 95' and up make 210hp. The 4wd would be awesome for grip, and it has many misubishi parts so the regular Chrysler reliability and build quality problems arent there. My lemons book says the 90-94 versions are Above Average, and teh 95'+ versions are Reccomended, those are the highest ratings in the book. Id love to see some pics of it!

yeh 4wd vs fwd isnt a big difference on these cars, the 4wd has a faster engage and better traction, but its heavier than the fwd and tends to by harsh on the tranny. My dream car is a 91 gsx....Magnificent find you have seeing as its basically identical...Please post!

Actually my true dream is get my hands on a skyline or rx8...hmm decision between best turning system ever inventer or neatest rotary ever invented....

Hard decision

The GSX can be a wicked fast ride. Especially tuned. Have you dyno'd your car yet? Any further mods planned?

You aren't talking about DSMs are you? Almost 2 tons...not quite, more like 3100lbs for the '92 GSX.

Nice car, that's what I was hoping to get when I was looking for a car, but I couldn't find any in good shape, all had been abused.
