Doug the kind of guy to call an equalizer a DJ experience.

Doug the type of guy to know everything about cars but not know what an equalizer is.

I’ve always wondered why Doug never talks about a car’s sound system when talking about quirks and features....And this explains why.

That's the most unusual way to describe a graphic EQ I've ever heard.

I like how he describes an equalizer like it's an alien artifact.

Doug, the high beam in the headlight lowered position still comes from the main headlight unit. It just shines through the light bar in that stowed position.

"...these weird, numbered sliders. They make you a DJ." Oh Dougie...

Back when Mitsubishi was cool 😢

I wish modern car stereos still had 7 band equalizers...you're lucky to get Treble, mid-range and bass now

Doug looks 40 yet manages to talk about the radio EQ like he was born in the year 2000.😅

Doug: the type of guy to play with the flash-to-pass and not notice it's the same high beams shining through clear plastic.

I am SO depressed. He keeps saying "Back in 1990". I was, 18 back then, and it seems all perfectly, NORMAL, to me. God I've gotten old...

"Here, we catch a rare view of a Doug Demuro without shorts."

Oh Doug... you don’t mess with another man’s EQ. How could you.

Doug, this car is AWD, has a t3/t4 turbo, deep cuts in the seats to hold you in place, a large vertical shifter, a dashboard designed for a guage cluster, and a wheel that isn't cluttered with unneeded buttons. The 4G63T motor came with a butterfly valve system for pulling in more air at higher speeds. It came running like 14 second quarter mile times, 195 horse power, doing over 120mph from the factory. The GSX is a great racecar platform on a budget. That's what it's best for. I loved mine. PS: I've seen these with sub 8 second quarter mile times. I was building a road racing car when I sold mine and the person who bought it was stripping it to the metal and making it into a drag car.

I graduated H.S. in 1990. For the next few years, I sooo wanted an Eagle Talon TSI! I just love hearing the amusement and bemusement as you discuss the "odd" features from back in the day!

Doug the type of guy to have never seen an equalizer in 2018.

It's called an equalizer Doug, an Equalizer.

My first sports car as a young adult and my favorite. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I loved how this car drove, cornered, was so stable at high speeds.

A car from 1990 with a aux jack is way ahead of it's time. Never seen a car from this era with aux!

Aux in a 1990 this is definitely a 100/100

Hilarious watching Doug struggle to describe an equalizer.

A couple of things to note. The sliders on the stereo are collectively called a graphic equalizer and a lot of '80s stereos had them. Going further back, lots of people would install custom stereos with an extra power amp that had one of these equalizers built in. Manufacturers just started adding them to the OEM head units due to their popularity. Also, on the power locks with these Japanese cars, you could unlock the driver door from the passenger side using the key (and vice versa IIRC). You simply turned the key twice in the unlock direction and it unlocked the other side (and the back doors if it was a 4-door). I think they were trying to figure out a way to have some of the functionality of keyless entry without using a transmitter fob, a thing that I miss every time I have to pull the big honking key fob from my pocket when I want to drive my car. I hate the bulky newer keys and key fobs taking up all that space in my pocket. Hopefully this gets remedied at some point and they finally miniaturize this stuff.

Wow, I didn't expect even cars in 1990s have pop-up headlights. This car has one of my favourite gauge cluster design, and even pop-up headlights or rear end design that it was similar to the Pontiac Fiero back in 1980s. The GSX even has a turbocharger.😍

I've never heard such explanation of an graphic EQ.

Doug: Check out these seat belts Millennials: What is this witchcraft

Man this I remember driving one of those was absolutely a thrill !! Definitely one of the coolest cars in the 90’s

The only thing Doug has hid from the cops are his Pokemon cards

I expect the comments gonna be about the equalizer, I'm not disappointed.

the stock infinity stereo with equalizer was amazing! I had it in the 96 TSI and no one could believe it was stock..especially in that day

Doug, the type of guy to smash a water bottle with a car center console

Also doug it dosent have 2 sets of high beams. Its just the pop up lights shinging through the clear plastic when they are down.

Dont the pop-ups just shine through the plastic bits while they are folded in ?

Good memories. Got my Laser RS Turbo up to 140mph. The steering was really good compared to other cars I've owned.

I loved these cars. Ive had a talon tsi and an eclipse gsx. Fun cars but they can nickle and dime you to death especially when they are built. Overall fun cars to drive.

When Mitsubishi was actually cool 😢

Doug's the type of guy to be too young to know what a graphic equalizer is on a stereo!

My dad used to have a 93 Eclipse. I was in a band, and we fit my whole drum set with cymbals and everything in it. With both of us riding in it at the same time.

Driver focused dashboards are awesome.

Doug, WTF...you are not THAT young. There are interesting sliding levers on the audio system??? Jesus, you never heard of an equalizer?? EQ for short. I can't be that old that an EQ is a mystery!!!

Wow - the car is in amazing condition !!

The best part about these cars was that you could add almost 100 hp with exhaust, boost controler, and good gas. I had a 92 TSI AWD for many years and loved it - rarely did someone know what it was when they were new. And it was actually reliable if you tuned it carefully (monitoring knock etc.), didn't push beyond safe limits.. kept good oil/gas and didn't beat up the transmission with fast shifting.

12:40 Doug the car guy discovered the magic of an 'equalizer'...

Doug the type of guy to not have a f-ing clue what a 90s EQ looks like

A car with an equalizer... Now that's something you won't see often nowadays

The eclipse is my absolute favorite car so i subbed also i love all the rest of your videos

Aww, this was my first car.. and how could doug not mention the weird fact that this car had two identical twin siblings.. that's right, who remembers Plymouth Laser, and the Eagle Talon... mine was actually a '92 Laser and oh, how it brings back memories to see this!

90s was the high time for Mitsubishi. The Starion, the Eclipse, the 3000GT (GTO) and obviously the Lancer Evolution. Those were the days...

The Eclipse has had one of the worst fates ever... It started out as a cool little coupe (1st Gen) and even became a movie star (2nd Gen), then puberty hit it like a truck (3rd Gen) and it looked really weird for a few more years (4th Gen)... And now they turned it into a ridiculously ugly Crossover that looks like a modern version of the Pontiac Aztek or a jacked-up Prius (5th Gen, Eclipse Cross). What a shame - I feel you, poor little car.

Had a 92 model with 300hp back in the day. Way too much fun, and surprised many Mustangs, 300ZX TT, Dodge Stealth TT/3000GT, 911's etc Thanks for the drive down memory lane.

I had 3 of them, my first car was a 91 eclipse non turbo, second 92 gst and my third a 90 gsx. I loved that car and will get another one day as my keeper car.

Doug, the type of guy who's never seen a graphic equalizer before.

Ahh the 90s, good times.

Yeah doug demuro how the hell do you not know what an eq is man. Hes playing with the knobs and says "i def hear a difference" lol

I had a 93 laser in 2005, it was an amazing vehicle, it ran high 12s with very few upgrades. As he is explaining this car I feel like he explaining my arm or leg, it became an extention of my body. It was amazing!!!

Could not be a cleaner example. Someone has really babied that disposable car, and I really like that!

What makes me sad is what Mitsubishi did, turning this iconic line of cars into a fucking SUV crossover. I was hoping it would only be one of those vague rumors we never hear from again. Last week I officially saw the commercial. The 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. Should've been the Eclipse Sacrilege. I'll go hug my 2G and cry now...

A friend to me had a custom GS, lowerd with saffran fold metallic with matching seats. It was awesome and got alot of attentione. The center console was so comfortable in a driving experience and the gear box was so easy to operate with only flicks of the wrist.

I think the lights the car uses to flash when de pop up headlights are down are the same ones, just reflecting.

With an "Aux In Cord" back in the 1990s; this car scores a perfect 10 already!!!!!

That is absolutely gorgeous! Inside and out! Seriously 👏 👏 👏! I had a 93 laser, my favorite car ever. It looked at least that good, but that was in 2000, and had a new paint job! I had very few mods, 3' from turbo, boost gage, blow off valve and it was doing high 12 sec 1/4. It was awesome.

I owned a black on silver Eagle Talon TSI just like in the brief photo you popped up. The reason you felt the vague on center steering is because your test car didn't have the larger wheel and sporty tire package. I absolutely loved this car. It's slow by today's standard, but so is a BMW e30 (which I currently drive). In its day it was quick, giving Mustang 5.0 GTs a run for their money. And when the roads got slippery, it was game over for just about anything else. The AWD system worked flawlessly with nice rear wheel bias. I could go on, but thanks for bringing back the memories!

Doug doesn't know what is an analogue equaliser.

I appreciate these old car reviews.

I had an 89 Dodge shadow es 2.2 turbo. Really considered the eagle talon in this version. These type of cars were the underdogs of the mustangs and camaros of the time. Would easily run with them or beat them. It would be awesome if someone could get Doug a Shelby version on the Dodges of this time. Thanks for the great video.

3:40 *Pop up up and down headlights !* -James Pumphrey

The guy that owns that GSX seems like a very meticulous type of person by the way the garage and car look. I can just picture him the next time he drove it and found out his equalizer had been messed with.

Doug is the kind of guy to review his own video and give it a doug score

Nice, when are you going to review a 1987-93 Mustang 5.0?

I owned a brand new '90 Eagle Talon Tsi, the equivalent of the Eclipse GS (both turbo, FWD). I still think of it as one of the most fun cars I've owned, and I loved the styling, performance and value. Only issues were torque steer, which the AWD version (GSX or Tsi AWD) cured, and warping front rotors. It was also the fastest car I've driven, as in 120 on the interstate. I wish I still had it and one actually just sold on Bring a Trailer for about $18K, but I realized it was just trying to take 30 years off my age, which it couldn't do, so I didn't bid. Now I wish I did. Oh well.

So we learned here that Doug have never heard about Graphical Equalizer, man that made me feel old...

Little levers that let you play dj in your own car! Listen! They really make a difference!!! Wowwwwww! It's almost as if there was a graphic representation of how you're equalizing the tone of the music, to think this is the only sound system in the world to have this... I do wonder what all those little numbers mean... all the way to 10K? What a head scratcher...

Welcome to the first car I ever owned lol. Bought it for $700 and It broke down on me on the way home. I touched every nut and bolt on that car. I learned ALOT working on my tsi. I still dream about that car from time to time lol. I wish I still had it.

I owned a 1991 Mits Eclipse GS dark blue turbo which I bought used in 1993. I remember test driving it and was impressed with how fast it was. I ended up installing Borbet rims, tinted the windows, and replaced the airbox with an HKS intake for an added15 HP and 5 more pounds of boost. With very little work the car was a quick sleeper and I was even able to beat the local 5.0 Mustangs in my neighborhood. I found the handling to be very good and overall the car was very reliable. I ended up selling it after 8 years and 90k on it. During that time I only replaced the front brakes and put a couple of sets of tires on it. Watching this video brought back many memories of that car with the small back seating area and the automatic seat belts. That car was a lot of fun and I miss it.

I think Doug sold all of his shorts for new pants 😂

So an equalizer is a strange concept?

That 4G63 engine was a legend!! Many of them were manufactured in Japan (by Mitsubishi), USA (by Chrysler and Mitsubishi), and Korea (by Hyundai)!!

Ahhh the memories... this brings me back LOL My very first car I purchased on a loan was a base model red manual 1994 Eclipse. That car was so much fun. The sun roof leaked like a mofo and the valve cover gasket had to be changed every 6 months but the ample hatch space allowed for me to have a killer sound system and it hardly ever broke. The girls really loved it too! I pretty much drove this car thru all of my Air Force career and went from South Carolina all the way to California in it without cruise control too which really sucked

I owened a Talon TSI AWD and this has bought back memories. I realky enjoyed it on long road trips because it was fast and the seats were awesome. Passing cars at high speed was a synch.

Doug, please do a Nissan 300zx if you can find one

I've watched numerous videos of yours, and I've never been so envious of you as I am while watching this.

Loved my '90 GS Turbo. Seeing how much fun Doug was having driving it at the end reminded me of how much I enjoyed mine. Mine was the 3rd one ever sold in NJ. Totally weird at the time, because it was a '90 which we took delivery of in Dec of '88 - it was cool being able to say I owned something from 2 years in the future. I don't know what my parents were thinking of setting me loose in that thing as a first car. I still look at Autotrader every now and then to see if any unmolested examples pop up, but they never do.

Doug, Doug, Doug, I love you man but c’mon, stop talking nonsense! The brights are not 2 sets, they are the same lights shining through when they are lowered. VW has had CC on the stock for decades after this car. Control buttons on the steering wheel is not a new thing either, they’ve existed at least 35 years before this car was produced. I know I’m older than you but you seriously don’t know what a Graphic EQ is?

Am I seriously supposed to believe someone over ten years old doesn't know what an equalizer is?

This has me convinced the 1G DSM is the successor to the Starion.

I love the fact that Doug apparently has never seen a graphic equalizer before. He needs to review more cars from the 1980s.

I thought He was joking about not knowing what the Equalizer was!

Doug drove this car in hopes that someone would say "Nice bulge!"

15:04 Doug: "This (1990) car has power locks. Pretty advanced." Me: Lol. They came out in 1914 and become common on luxury vehicles in 1956 when Packard reintroduced them.

I commented earlier but feel I should also add, I had one of these when I lived in Wisconsin and I have to say it was the best winter car I ever had. Nothing about it says it should be a good winter car, but that was my experience. People be sliding all over in their SUVs and I'm blowing by. Ended up trading it in for a Toyota Celica, which would spin out at first gear with a slight rain. Loved both cars, still miss this one. I drive a Dodge Dart now so these memories come up frequently.

LOL, it's called a coin tray! Way back in 1990 we used to pay tolls with actual coinage. It went sorta like this; you would pull up to a toll gate, reach into the change tray, remove the required coins and toss them into a (what looked like) a giant urinal, the coins would clink and clatter to the bottom then the gate would raise to let you pass. A very handy tray to have, especially in cities like Chicago. Keep up the old car stuff, I love it. Thanks!

Pretty sick car for 1990 and looks like someone took great care of it

I love watching Doug grow up before our very eyes.. he’s adorable. I love the childlike wonderment when confronting the stereo EQ.. I mean, he’s the definitive “car guy.” No question about it. Jay Leno needs to grab a pen and start taking notes from this guy. Riveting automotive journalistic brilliance!! BRAVO!!! Also; Was Doug homeschooled? Just curious.

The design of the body is genius. This car is older than I'am and it still looks something out of a sci-fi that's still a few years away. Glad to see there are still some around.❤

Doug how are you so confused by an equalizer?

This car is very special to me. In 1989, I saw a black one on display at the Columbus, Ohio airport and immediately fell in love. I was 11 years old at the time. Fast forward to 1998, and I was able to buy my first new car (with my dad's help) and I bought a brand new GST. I have kept that car. It sits in my garage most of the time, but I take it out about once a month for a drive to relive my youth.

I had this exact car, in white too and 5 speed too! Mine had a beefed up twin turbo. It was such a fun, fast little car. I loved it so much. I used to fly everywhere in that car. It just wanted to go and was so fun to drive, so it was impossible to drive slow lol. It was so small that you could just dip in and out of traffic. Perfect car to whip through the city (Boston) and parking was great because it fit in small spots. It was definitely one of my favorite cars ive owned. This brought me back to some great memories

Owned a 1990 Eagle Talon that was black/white like this one. The headlight pop up button wasn't just for "cleaning" the headlights, it was there to raise the headlight to change the headlight. No bulbs removed from the rear, instead changing the whole sealed beam. One quirk you did miss was the louvered (white) vent that follows the horizontal mid-door panel strip just past each door. These vents have air blowing out of them when the car is running with doors closed and windows up. Could never figure out why it did that, no mention in the owners manual as I recall, nevertheless it was very unique. Love this example, exceptionally clean and well taken care of. I'd love to own one again.

That garage is WAY too neat! He even has his Lexol Leather cleaner and conditioner bottles in the correct order of usage (orange and brown bottle)... OH CEE DEE!!!!
