Problem is finding a clean GSX that hasn't been modified or rust free.

That turbo flutter is straight eargasm!! 👍

When I hear Mitsubishi, i do not think “Evo.” I think 3000GT VR4, Galant VR4, Eclipse GSX, Etc. The Evo is the icing on the cake!

i miss clean looking cars like this Eclipse, the Supra mark iv, nissan 300zx. New cars are too busy looking and too much plastic.

The second gen eclipse was by far the greatest. The fact that they offered 5 models and 3 engine options was insane. I miss my old '95 GS so much.

“What do you think Lance??” “Amazing machine”

I wish Mitsubishi would bring all there iconic cars back,they would be great sellers

I really appreciate the owner keep the exterior looking stock but have done some modifications on this GSX. Looking good as a sleeper.

I've owned all 3 DSMs and always keep my eyes peeled. They had a big impact on the import scene. You just don't see these anymore.

I miss the retro looks of older cars like this. So nostalgic, plain and simple.

"Brian Earl Spilner. Sounds like a serial killer. Is that what you are? Don't come around here again."

I had a 1997 GST 5-speed... loved it. Fun car to drive in town.

Eclipse had 4 generations. I fell in love with the 2G Eclipse. Still my favourite car out there. I now own a 4G 2007 Eclipse GT.

Cupholders were an after thought from the 70's-90's, but they always made sure you had multiple ashtrays lol

That turbo flutter is straight eargasm!!

90’s Styling Simple and To The Point......I Miss It.😢

I test drove the first gen Eclipse GSX back then what a machine

I had a 96 eclipse spider. Best driving experience in a car I have had. You can feel the feed back and feel like you are part of the car. I definitely miss it. It is truly a shame that they are so hard to find. Thanks for this review.

Love these cars, I've owned mine for over 12 years and no plans of parting with it.

aww this brings back memories TY!!! ... owned couple these 1 and 2 g dsms before glad to see some are still around

I had a 1997 2G GSX way back in high-school that was a hand me down from my dad. He bought it new, then gave it to me for my first car. Thing was a money pit, my dad had gone through 1 motor due to crank walk while he had it. Then I went through a motor and a transmission while I had it. They're fun and easy to mod but they are huge money pits, all DSMs are headaches and break down a lot lol. That car left me stranded so many times lol, ill never forget it lol. I ended up trading it in for a 98 VR4 3000gt a few years later. That car was amazing, but it too had its issues and back in the day, not many shops were willing to work on them due to how complex they were, aside from the dealership. So when the Evo X came out, I traded my VR4 3kgt in for it. But now, I wish I had held on to my VR4. Looking back, aside from their issues, I miss the 2 door JDM sport coupes, they will never make anything like them ever again.

My first car in Boston. Memories... man I loved that car. Thanks Joe! You review all the gems my guy!

That generation Eclipse GSX and Diamond Star platform mate Eagle Talon TSI was always my favorite by far. One of the best looking convertibles also. A design that was way before it's time.

This is so great that you are doing this video on the DSM. Thank you too much, I watch most of your videos with my son.

This style came out when I was a senior in HS and I loved it just as much then as I do today.

My siblings and I own three eclipse and three 3000gts. Love the styling of the 90's.

Joe, You are the MAN, anyone who knows the 90's will appreciate the throwback. I got my license in 99 but learned to drive in 93 out in the middle of nowhere in an 87 Nissan sentra 5mt. Its crazy to think but, that car came factory with only a driver side rear view.. it feels like you're missing an ear. I have had many 90's Nissans mostly 240's and a few 300zx's(respectfully the 94-96 models) both N/A and TT and ill say the driver experience CANNOT be matched!!

Great review, brings back a lot of memories. These are very rare since many were destroyed during the F&F era .

AWESOME REVIEW!!!!! DEFINITELY wouldn’t mind seeing more content like this!!!

Two of my friends in Highschool had this and a GS-T and was lucky enough to ride in both which made me a DSM fan for life.

I was a fan of this channel because I was looking for a daily. Now you’re featuring the car that I’m currently building as well.. this is my new favorite KZfaq channel. Greetings from soflo 😁

Great review Joe, what a car. One recommendation as your channel grows, I think it would be really cool to implement something like Joe’s “Zonk Score” where you tally up the zonks for each car you review so we can compare cars in terms of their feature set and their shortcomings. In other words, the lower the “Zonk Score” the better the car. I think it would be a cool little element that would help set your channel apart even more from other car reviewers and increase watch time as viewers would be more interested to watch the videos till the end to find out the “Zonk Score.” Again, just a suggestion. Thanks for all you do. You are killing it!

Nice to see a KZfaqr showing some followers’ cars. Class act Joe👍🏻👍🏻

COACH J ~ I kinda miss the Eclipse, I remember how cool they looked back in the day, what's weird is anymore I hardly ever see any on the road. it's freaky how fast time goes by & how much cars & trucks can change in what seems so quickly. I like this report, it made me think of looking over a car with my dad. thanks - tony

Great review Joe. Thanks Hunter for sharing your whip with all of us. The eclipse definitely brings back memories back in the day.

Makes me really miss my DSM, it still looks good today.👌 The 4g63 in that car has so much potential. These reviews are awesome!👍🏼

Thanks to Hunter for sharing it and thanks Joe for the “blast from my past “! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Had a gsx back in the day with alot of mods.... I the good ol days

Joe, I’m in the market for a 1998-2000 GSX and when I found you did a video on one three years ago I had to check it out. Love the channel man!

I had a black 1990 Eagle Talon AWD and I loved that car. It was super fast in its day and was the car that got me hooked on speed. I wish I still had it.

Nice one Joe........didn't know much about the Eclipse, but now I do!!!!! Love the wing, like you say, reminds of the mk 4 Supra. Thanks to Hunter and thanks to you and the team for bringing this to us!

You’re my favorite KZfaqr every time I search a car you have a video about it Pls keep up the good work......

Great video really brings back memories being I graduated in '96! I've owned 3 Pontiac Firebirds of various gens and types I would love to see you do a vid on one of those!

These are awesome cars. For the young kids 90’s mitsubishi is amazing!

I keep thinking you’re going to run out of cars to review with these daily releases! But thank you

I like that! "It's not to transporting your bodies, it's to moving your soul with this car".

My first car - 1999 Eclipse GS. I have so many good memories.

I have a white 99 Eclipse OZ rally edition. Its awesome to see you review a 2gb Eclipse especially the big boy GSX! These cars are rare gems nowadays. You dont see them on the road, almost all of the 2g Eclipses have been run to the ground

I leased a ‘95 and ‘98 GST and they were a blast to drive. 👍🏻

I've been into the dsm scene for over 20 years now and can't get away. Tried once but came right back. Currently have a 1999 eclipse spyder I built and converted the styling to the 2gb talon and awd swapped it. I've owned this car for the last 10 years now and it still puts a smile on my face everytime I drive it. Plus its fun being convertible and automatic cause people automatically call it a chick car until i put lengths on the instantly off the line. These are great cars when taken care of.

Sick that’s awesome that you feature subscriber’s cars !!!!!

I love this video, I’m in high school Rn and this is my dream car I just hope when I’m older there not to rare and the laws in Ca loosen up. Amazing video thank you 😁

Notification squadd 🤙🏻 Another JDM legend on Raiti's Rides! Let's go!

Damnnnnnn! Only YOutuber to actually review this beast! If you can get your hand on the best GT car of the 90s, the 3000GT VR-4! Absolutely iconic!

Thanks for the video. I have a 1995 Eclipse GSX which I have owned since 1999. That is 23 years and going...

Nice video as usual and we'd love to see more of the cars featured from time to time, while still keeping us current with the new stuff. Yes the Eclipse MK2 GSX AWD is a very very good car. The MK1 actually started life as an Eagle Talon back in the late 80s when there were no other turbo 4WD cars around in the USA, then Mitsubishi came out with the Eclipse MK1, however both the MK1 and MK2 used the famous 4G63 Engine which was also used in the EVO 1-3 which started life with 200 HP and Evolved (no pun intended) to 280 HP. Those were all after Mitsubishi had the 4G63 in the Galant GSR turbo, however the bottom end on the Galant had beefier and thicker connecting roads for strength. Those went down in size for lightness and quicker rpm for rallying the Evos. So while we and the rest of the World enjoyed the Evo 1-3 and later the 4, USA was enjoying the Eclipse and Eagle Talon which were excellent and smaller and really good looking for each era. These little engines tune up nicely too to make easily 600 HP daily driven on E85 or C16 fuel. AWD put down the power great and the power to weight ratio just let these things fly. You mentioned the shape of the front and you're right, it fits the era. If you see a Skyline GTR R33, you'll notice it uses very similar design from 1995 - 1998. After this Eclipse, Mitsubishi lost their minds and made the next generation a normally aspirated Bubble, then a V6 Naturally aspirated FWD piece of garbage. It was game over for the brand. Mitsubishi has a way of killing off everything good that made their Brand Iconic; now the Lancer Evo is dead, and so is sales of their cars.

I love my 95 GSX. Durango Copper orange! 530 awhp makes it a blast to drive and track

80s and 90s = real cars 2000-2010 = semi real cars 2010-2020 = high tech refrigerators on wheels

Love your retro videos brings back great memories

Awesome review i have a red 1999 eclipse gst automatic been with it for 5 years and it’s still a blast to drive

Favorite generation

Love this car. Don’t love the steering wheel. But all the other upgrades are very tastefully done. 9.99/10.

I owned the GS-T, but always wanted the awd gsx! Awesome car and video RR

Great Review Joe! Thanks for using a Twinkie as a means of measurement!

I had a friend who had one of these, 25 years later he tells me how much he loved it. I am into the sleeper look, so I liked the Galant VR-4. I tried to find one in the late 90's, but couldn't find a good one.

16g = 12's to 11's 20g = 11s to 10's FP turbos = 10s and faster Times based on tune, supporting mods and driver drag racing skills. DSM vendors: Buschur Racing, Road Race Engineering, Shepherd Racing DSM ruled the streets in the 90s embarrassing those slow Sn95s, new edge and catfish camaros, c5 corvettes

Nice ride Hunter. Well done upgrades

Great car review! I always loved the 1st and 2nd gen Eclipses. The only downside on these motors is the dreaded crankwalk issue that owners have to keep an eye on.

They came out in 89” there was also 4 generations.

Something even more rare...Last week I saw a sister (twin) to the Eclipse, an Eagle Talon!

I remember these cars. Mitsubishi made the AWD version called the GS-X and Turbo model GS-T. Was inspired by the JDM model FTO. Joe I'll have you feature my RX-7 on day coming from Cali! Fantastic review! Thanks for this one.

Another great video !!!! Raiti..is the best reviewer!!!!!!🤙

absolutely love these cars. to bad they are impossible to find all together !

When Mitsubishi was good, unlike now with their ugly unreliable cars

The removable face on the radios in our cars brings back memories Joseph. Nevertheless I can’t say that I miss them. I dated a couple of young ladies that owned a Mitsubishi Eclipse. They were very sporty. My parents never mentioned a magic room. Thank God!!! 🥴 Thanks Hunter for allowing Joe to take us down memory lane. Thank you Joe for bringing these older cars to us. 👍

I have a 97 GST which is a 4G63T font wheel drive. Its a great a car, my grandfather bought it back in 1997 and saved it for me in from 2001 to 2014 that I was able to drive. I wouldn't sell it for anything in this world. Yours looks great Hunter!

It’s really sad that Mitsubishi doesn’t make any fun cars anymore. I remember having a 2000 Galant and modding the heck out of it; it was super fun. I really like the sound this eclipse is making every time Joe is changing gears.

Super clean. Well done to the owner.

That exhaust note is great! Not fart canny. Super clean!! Nice build.

I have a 1997 eclipse gst all stock no rust at all only thing I've done is rims and coilovers . I love it had it since 2009

It has aged so well.... I would get rid of one of my VWs for one of these and i don't type that lightly.

For all the kids out there: 1. Stop removing safety devices like airbags on a street car. 2. Stop venting to atmosphere on a MAF configuration.

Miss my 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX I had a white one with black interior, setting on 19-inch Racing Hart C5, Greddy Turbo Kit, Greddy intercooler, Greddy intercooler Piping kit, Greddy Type-S Blow off valve, Greddy Profec-B Boost Controller, Greddy Turbo Timer, Apexi afc, 3 Greddy 60mm gauges, HKS cam Gears Got that same HKS exhaust, RC 550cc injectors, Baer brake kit man those were the days it's been 17yrs sense i sold the car and not a day goes by i'm not thinking about that car, Thanks for the video dude really appreciate the memories of this car, Long live the DSM's

Beautiful clean car Hunter! I miss my 97 black gst. Also had a 96 red rs. I will own a gsx one day! That color is awesome and the RPF1’s are icing on the cake.💪

I had one of these in 97 with the fattest exhaust pipe lol

YOU FORGOT TO MENTION that this is the VERY FIRST CAR that PAUL WALKER APPEARED WITH IN THE VERY VERY FIRST "THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS" MOVIE back in 2001. R.i.p. Paul Walker.

I had a 96 Eagle Talon TSI. I loved it! This takes me back!

I originally found you looking up videos on WRX and STi. Before I checked out your channel, it seemed you were really, really into those cars ... then after visiting your uploads; you just work your @$$ off. Hat off to you sir, you take this channel very seriously!

Man I miss my DSM. Never should of gotten rid of it.

I can appreciate this car. I remember the days when you could remove the entire radio and take it with you 🤣

Very unexpected! But extremely satisfied with this car review! You Should do more classic vehicles often joe!!!!

That car sounds incredible! put a smile on my face for sure.

I love the eclipse gsx great great car , I have 2

There is no bad profile when looking at this car. So gorgeous 😍

Used to own a 90 and 95 Talon Tsi awd. Miss those days. Also an 05 Evo. Been into Mitsubishi and DSMs since 2000. Never knew there were 3 generations of DSM.

Great review and a really nice example of a 2G. I really liked the sound of that exhaust, not overly loud but with a really nice tone to it. I personally still prefer the 1G though, I really like its more angular styling and the popup headlights, its why I own a 91 1G GS. The late 80ies to late 90ies Mitsubishi where IMO the best generation of cars mitsubishi ever build. They where reliable, dependable and had came with quite a nice amount of equipment from the factory for cars of that time. Its why I, other than my 91 1G GS also own a 1990 Lancer c12 Station Wagon(with a 4g15 12V MPI, 90 HP, 5 Speed) and a 94 Sigma Station Wagon(6g72, 170 HP, 5 Speed). Funny thing is I also own a 2004 first Gen Outlander (2.4, 160HP, 5 Speed, AWD) and compared to my older Mitsubishis, its a piece of crap that constantly needs attention and maintenance to keep it running right while also having considerably worse gas mileage than my 94 Sigma Wagon. My Outlander averages at around 19 MPG mixed driving while my Sigma with its beefy 6g72 gets around 26 mpg on average.

Amazing build, just so tastefully done. But, I mean, no one ever admits it, I guess they just like to say DSM, but come on, a turbo 4g6 awd, it's our Evo. And tbh, as a WRX guy, a 2 door Evo is waaaay better looking than a 2 door WRX.

I love these cars although Everyone in here saying JDM and wonderful Japanese design are WRONG. These were DSM cars. These cars were never in Japan. These cars were Dymler Chrysler cars. Mitsubishi and Dymler Chrysler teamed up to produce these cars. The Eagle Talon and the Eclipse were the same car (no surprise) they even took the 3000 GT which was a Japanese spec car aka the Mitsubishi GTO and made it into the Dodge Stealth. But the Eclipse was never in Japan.

My love, my dream, 2g GSX restyling ('97-'99) forever in my heart

I just love the simplicity of 90s and early 00s cars no fancy tech to interrupt what truly matters, and that is the drive
