Video Mitsubishi ✅ I wanted a Mitsubishi Eclipse SO badly during my teenage years – but quickly found out their unreliable reputation. Due to the tuner scene of the 90’s and 2000’s it’s tough to find a good example. Thankfully this 500HP AMS built monster sure did the trick. The Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX is a car of a by- gone era – and this really shows. So what’s it like driving a FAST 2G DSM? Let’s talk about it. ✅ 500HP Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX is an Evo’s Worst Nightmare

you know what if it breaks oh no
0:04
[Music]
0:36
okay 2G DSM it took me forever to find
0:41
one but this year I found three just
0:43
like that and thanks to this gentleman
0:45
he’s gonna let me drive his big single
0:48
turbo one so tell me all about this one
0:50
all right guys so oh no I screwed up
0:53
that porch Pistons rods H beams o-ring
0:57
block
0:58
ported head cams gscs2s and Power
1:05
for now in the two-door Evo that’s what
1:07
everyone likes to say oh but big thing
1:09
is this this was a GST but you converted
1:12
it to a GSX so it’s all-wheel drive yeah
1:14
cool so was that a hard swap to do uh it
1:17
was it’s not bad
1:20
um it’s a lot easier now so there is a
1:22
company I didn’t do it this way but
1:24
there was a company that makes swap
1:25
bushings now okay so
1:29
I had to do the welding and everything
1:31
to put it all together
1:38
do all the things yeah all the things to
1:40
make it work including the side exit yep
1:42
it is I saw an exit
1:49
also YouTube me something really cool is
1:52
that this train forgive me if I’m wrong
1:54
with this transmission built at AMS like
1:56
in the early 2000s yes so the engine and
2:00
um transmission I have their invoices oh
2:03
so that’s how I know AMS performance
2:05
built this back in 2003 oh my God like
2:09
okay finally like this is what I
2:12
imagined do you know what I mean like
2:14
driving the really clean one of it
2:18
like a control like in an experiment
2:20
right and that thing was really tasteful
2:23
it just a little bit he had some EVO 3
2:25
stuff on it just to make it run better
2:30
Furious
2:33
it’s called turbo sound the side exit
2:35
the aggressiveness of the DSM 4g63
2:38
because it makes that it is it is such a
2:41
mean sounding four-cylinder out of all
2:43
of them for some reason it has this much
2:45
deeper Rumble than all the other s oh
2:48
and it revs to 8 500. what this one has
2:50
eight y five hundred oh my God I’m so
2:53
excited I have banged the limiter so
2:55
okay don’t don’t hold back don’t worry
2:58
you know what if it breaks
3:00
[Music]
3:02
we also have a quartermaster clutch so
3:05
it is a little tricky you have to rev it
3:06
up pretty good it is interesting because
3:09
it has that Evo ferocity when you’re
3:12
driving into the
3:13
turbo G35 900 from Pulsar dual ball
3:17
bearing Billet water cooled
3:25
[Music]
3:27
that’s amazing I am like full childhood
3:31
dream right now dude I am so happy right
3:34
now
3:36
foreign
3:46
like that’s kind of part of the appeal
3:49
appeal
3:51
and like Europe never got this car and a
3:54
friend of
3:56
Scotland right now and he had never seen
3:59
one you know and that was such a
4:02
flick as for People of Our Generation
4:04
especially you grew up in the 90s this
4:06
was the car yeah you know like other
4:08
than the Supra oh my gosh there’s that
4:10
big win oh my God or the double deckers
4:13
the Need for Speed underground double
4:15
deckers so this was a shell right this
4:17
was a shell it had no engine to trans
4:20
luckily it was like bone stock wiring
4:23
was like stock no one had messed with it
4:25
so it is on a standalone now ECU Master
4:28
uh classic wired by us yeah so you wire
4:33
and tune all your own stuff yep it’s
4:34
wired and tuned by us what was the whole
4:37
thing about these cars with like uh the
4:40
six Bolt versus
4:41
the salmon ball yes so like in 95 they
4:45
had some bad thrust bearing issues
4:49
um so back in the late 90s people were
4:51
putting crazy act pressure plates in
4:53
these sure which I don’t know if you
4:56
knew this was also a problem in Supras
4:58
yep
4:58
so it washes the bearings like there’s
5:02
you’re putting so much load you’re
5:04
forcing into the block there’s no oil so
5:06
then you get crank walk
5:08
[Music]
5:15
that’s amazing
5:24
yeah so third I I think we caught it
5:28
before you know I grinded or anything so
5:30
for the third gear in this car you
5:33
basically have to take a beat and go
5:36
into it right uh just Ram it just Ram it
5:38
I think it’s been 19 years yeah synchros
5:41
were put in that thing oh you’re right
5:42
yeah that’s so funny so I just drove
5:45
this uh
5:46
dog box H pattern car
6:02
right your buddies PC car
6:05
Ramen hey yo there’s pretty much no
6:07
Synchro system in that nope and now with
6:09
this it’s like Ram this thing about this
6:13
I love the trend of the 90s where all
6:15
the Japanese sports cars aimed
6:17
everything to our driver it’s just like
6:18
the Supra look at the same shape fdr7
6:22
same exact thing they were all taking
6:24
notes from each other and you can
6:26
totally tell it’s amazing to think that
6:28
this is the chassis
6:30
but that’s the first like all-wheel
6:32
drive
6:33
age pattern like six second call yeah
6:36
yeah
6:37
only they have carbon everywhere yeah
6:39
yeah but no but I think that’s what this
6:42
is what star
6:43
you know I remember like an eight ten
6:47
years ago seeing it for the like Red
6:49
Demon on YouTube for the first time
6:51
I’m like holy cow because he would crab
6:53
walk halfway down the street right now
6:55
he’s got it so stable it’s crazy
7:01
have you always loved these cars yeah
7:04
yeah that’s like my I don’t know fifth
7:07
eclipse
7:08
but because you get the talent too
7:10
correct uh I I did the the swamp came
7:13
from a Talon okay that’s right my first
7:15
all-wheel drive one wasn’t actually a
7:18
Talon yeah like it’s so funny how Eagle
7:20
just came and went
7:24
this reminds me of driving Evo so much
7:26
with that clutch
7:30
[Music]
7:37
love the blow off like it’s just a
7:40
really satisfying experience in a good
7:43
way it’s not
7:44
[Music]
7:47
a thing is knowing you can rev this out
7:49
you know a lot of the times when you
7:51
drive the stock ones it’s what’s the
7:53
stock price 75 which is still good yeah
7:57
um but when you get in this and you’re
7:59
hearing the turbo spool up yeah and it
8:01
starts going past it you’re like oh it’s
8:03
like that you know okay
8:07
foreign
8:22
it’s interesting because I’ll never
8:24
forget there’s this one clip from
8:27
imv films there’s a very old car YouTube
8:30
channel they went to tx2k
8:33
2008 I think is one of the earliest
8:36
videos I watched with car stuff on
8:38
YouTube guy named Jimmy brought this
8:40
Terminator Cobra down to Texas and
8:43
elevens right it was a pretty fast car
8:46
for the time Kenny Bell blower on it and
8:49
he goes out in this 1G Talon shows up in
8:54
the dog’s head and that’s so funny that
8:56
blew my mind right but it’s so
8:58
responsive tomorrow well it was funny
9:00
because the Talon did that signature
9:03
4g63 yank where it’s like nothing ah
9:07
nothing ah ah this is so cool I love
9:10
this so much man by the way this was
9:13
completely improvised yeah we came to
9:15
shoot the 2J card today and he rolled up
9:18
in this and my heart dropped I’m not
9:20
even kidding I was so happy to see this
9:23
thing foreign
9:30
on that note is there any advice for
9:33
people who like dsms or ever want to get
9:35
into dsms or is it just like stay away
9:37
or go ahead and love it
9:41
yeah I mean so it’s it’s a it’s a tough
9:44
thing I mean really they’re not that bad
9:46
if you yeah take your time yeah I also
9:48
want so mad that this chassis is over
9:50
200 000 miles on it yes dude thank you
9:53
so much
9:54
absolute pleasure it was everything I
9:57
thought it would be in a good way like I
9:59
really enjoyed this
10:02
it’s very dramatic like that’s what I
10:05
like about it when you get on it it
10:06
ramps up and it goes and I tried to pick
10:08
a turbo that would still come on pretty
10:10
soon right like you don’t have to wait
10:13
and wait and wait that would just ruin
10:15
the experience yeah if for me for anyone
10:17
it was sitting to buy a turbo setup
10:19
lower power but quicker spooling for a
10:22
street car is always better for me like
10:24
if you have a thousand horse
10:26
it takes
10:28
there I don’t really care that much
10:30
because it just it’s a dog it’s a dog
10:33
well I’m gonna do this uh 18 point
10:35
U-turn and on that note everyone thank
10:38
you awesome excuse me thank you all so
10:41
much for watching I had the time of my
10:43
life in this video and uh dude once
10:45
again thank you so much yeah it was
10:47
amazing no problem and you’ll need to
10:49
drive it when it’s on like 35 pounds
10:51
let’s do it until next time bye
10:54
everybody
10:55
