Car Forum / Mitsubishi Cars / July 20074g Eclipse, production year differences?
Any significant production differences between the 06, 07, 08 Eclipse GT? I'm looking to get a 4g Eclipse GT and while I can certainly afford an 08, if the 06/07 years are essential identical I might go used and treat it as a project car. Oh, and does anyone know if the owners manual and FSM are available by torrent or ??? > Any significant production differences between the 06, 07, 08 Eclipse > GT? They all feature Mitsubishi's trademark poor quality of manufacture and design, so don't fret, you will get the same rubbish in all of those models. > I'm looking to get a 4g Eclipse GT and while I can certainly afford an > 08, if the 06/07 years are essential identical I might go used and > treat it as a project car. > > Oh, and does anyone know if the owners manual and FSM are available by > torrent or ??? You want to waste your money on relatively new Mitsushitty crap but are too cheap to buy the documentation!

How dissapointing. > Jeez guy, from a high of 64 posts in June you've only spouted off 3 time > this month. How dissapointing. Due to other demands on my time recently, I have not been able to provide my service to the Mitsubishi community as well as should have. For this I am sorry and will try to make ammends soon. Bhagat Hey there Mr Bat Grunt! Good to see you are still doing well. You know, people that buy Volvos expect to be involved in an accident, likely their fault. And did you know Volvo is a Swedish term than means "to yawn"? As I was reading through your posts I had the urge to Volvo. Take care! >> Any significant production differences between the 06, 07, 08 Eclipse >> GT?

Volvo also rhymes with vulva so they can't be all bad. I am pleased that you are getting some value from my service. I don't know why you think I drive a Volvo. Yes, Volvos are a much better better built car than Mitsubishis that is for sure, but you are correct in that they are largely boring. There is another Swedish car brand for people who appreciate quality engineering, class AND who like to drive. Unfortunately, when General Motors purchased them they severely damaged the marque through badge engineering. They (the other Swedish car company) single handedly pioneered many of the things you take for granted in your Mitsushitty turdwagons - stuff like turbo charging, electronic wastegate control etc. Cars like the Mitsushitty Cordia were pathetic imitations.

Svenska Aeroplan AktieBolaget. SAAB indeed a very good and pleasant car, I drove a 900 turbo 15 years ago, but at that time it was over my budget. Very good, again. But I'm also well on my DSM, indeed. > Bhagat Gurtu ha scritto: > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > at that time it was over my budget. > Very good, again. But I'm also well on my DSM, indeed. early 90's? How many turbo's did you have to change? A good friend of mine got rid of his SAAB when the turbo died for the third time and was told it was no longer covered. john ha scritto: > early 90's? How many turbo's did you have to change?

Most models from the 90's use LPT (low pressure turbo) charging systems. Guess whose turbos? - yes you guessed right Mitsushitty turbos. What usually fails is the oil seals, giving rise to lots of lovely smoke. A good number of this Mitsushitty units failed prematurely. On the other hand, he Garrett T03 based full pressure charge systems on the performance models from that era are very reliable and usually run a long time bfore they die (unless the owner has abused them). |
