As a 3g owner and fan of yours appreciate the video I got my gts for 2k 93,000 miles and has been a reliable fun convertible/sports car for me and I definitely push the car lol also those interested in the car it has a great stock exhaust and best bang for your buck for horsepower to price wise.

9:22 as an eclipse owner, I can agree that visibility is bad, it is hard to see out of the back, there is just some weird blind spots, but it’s not terrible.

All the clips in the first 4 mins are my city. Bay Area stand up!!! My homie drove an eclipse spyder. It’s quick.

I honestly love how these cars look, always did. If they were rwd i'd get one instantly

Had my car for 6 months and can say she has done me good during this time.

It's handling is pretty good, even the GS model, although not that fast, is geared well enough to provide some fun acceleration response

7:46 the 2.4 in the 3g is a super watered down evo motor, it’s in the same family, you can bolt it to evo transmissions, bolt evo heads to it, put the evo crankshaft in it, and a whole lot of other stuff. It just comes n/a with a restrictive sohc head and kind of weak pistons

Im considering picking one of these as a daily while i build the motor in my accord, they sound good with the right setup, and super reliable. I got a buddy on his 4th one because he keeps running them to 400k+ miles and then selling them to people doing Evo engine swaps lol

mark i jus got into cars like 2-3 months ago. i’m 17 . i love your videos especially the budget ones😂. i’ve been watching you i really wanna get car smart sum of the car guys in my community b hatin on me cuz i’m clueless i’ve learned a few things from you. but i love the videos . keep grinding you definitely deserve lots more subscribers and i wish that success for you. one of my favorite youtubers 👍🏻

Tbh I knew the car was going to be slow and have old worn out parts but i got it to learn about fixing up cars and i loved the body style also thought it’d be nice as my first car

Nice video! Would be interesting to see one on the BMW Z3 (the roadster not the coupe)

3G’s def have great tuning potential.. the 4g64 can handle a little bit of boost but the sohc limits it. A evo 8 4g63 cylinder head swap on the 4g64 block plus turbo is the solution & it’ll have better torque because it’s a 2.4l

bought my gs for too much and having to replace almost everything but i hate the rear drum brakes so thats gonna be even more to change

I can kinda confirm the wiring part, idk abt other 3g owners but my speakers currently dont work but my stereo is just fine.

Hi, I’m looking to buy a 2004 GTS coupe for 5K, it has 60k miles and automatic. Would you say that a. Fair market price? It’s in Florida so no rust

I bought one I absolutely love it and looks great

Love this channel it's gives me ideas about getting my next car.

I'm looking at a 2004 spyder w/ the V6 as a replacement for my 99 civic. i dont really care for the engine, but it ticks all of the boxes. I've wanted a manual convertible for the longest time. At its price point (1.8K) I'm hard pressed to find any decent hondas/toyotas. I like to knock on mitsubishi, but this is a very attractive car. The added comfort & size make it marginally better than a miata for my purposes as a daily driver.

Mark what you driving in the winter?

I have an automatic aclipse bc of my mother but im planning to buy a manual but idk where to over all loom for cars

Skyrim music is an absolutely elite choice

Hey Mark not sure if you read the comments or not but I found a 02 with 54k miles, would you say its worth the trade for a 91 SL that I cant for the love of god figure the issue out? I dont have a daily and id make this it

You should do a good bad and ugly on 4th gen Chevrolet Camaro/ Pontiac Firebird

You’re wrong about the engines not being able to make good power. The 4 cyl is actually the best 4 cyl Mitsubishi engine to fully build because its just a 4g63 but with bigger displacement and no forged internals so when u build the motor fully it results better than the eco engine

I bought a eclipse gs 2.4L and it runs well and I want to see what I’m going to do to it since I have plans for the car

as a fellow citizen from ct it’s absolutely freezing balls

Great video! Really informative. I seriously wanted a 3rd or likely 4th gen Eclipse, but with sub-par gas mileage and crampt space, I may never get one. I must ask where the Good Bad and Ugly on the Toyota Solara is though. I mean, it's a Camry, but cool. It only ran for 10 years, so research should be fairly easy. Videos on it get views because nobody talks about it and it can pop up with Camry results. Even just a mention in a deep dive on the Camry or a spot in your sports car listing would be great. I just want to show people that a Camry can be a sports car and get your take on it culturally where I'm lacking knowledge, as well as whether it's a good sporty daily or not. If you don't want to, just tell me.

You did good my boy 👌

You should do a good, bad, and ugly on the frs/86/brz

I own a 3g 2004 rs as a “new car guy” I’m having some issues working in it but it’s a great way to start learning about cars in my option and over time I am planning on maybe doing a 2jz swap on it see how that goes

My 03 GTS sounds amazing with a Invidia catback. That clip you showed was a fart can on a 4cyl.

You should go over cheap beater drift cars with cheap and easy to find parts.

I'm not a 3g guy but he didn't mention that a few have swapped Evo drivetrains into these .

Got my 3g with 2.4 manual with 109k for 1500 only thing it needed was a radiator and it’s been a great car have over 150k miles

Great vid 😊

As an owner of an 04 gt eclipse of 14 yrs now.... I agree with everything in this video. From horrible wiring to great looks/cosmetics. P.s. got it when i was 19 yrs old. Regrets? A couple. Want an eclipse? Get 2010 model. 265 hp more torque and at about the same price of a decent 3g eclipse better mileage at that. If you want an eclipse good luck finding a decent one (holy grail would be 2g GSX eclispe)

So anyone know if 3,100$ for a 3rd gen eclipse good or not, cuz someone selling a 3rd gen for that much?.

I like mine but I've spent year rebuilding it so yeah it better be fun to drive

You should do one of these videos of the Mitsubishi galant the early 2000s

Where can I get me one?

3g eclipse holds the world record for fastest turbo on stock eternals. Can handle alot of boost stock.

Can you do for a 4g?

I’ve owned this generation for 8 years now and the 4 cylinder is the motor you want the V6 is actually dog water. The only power upgrades for the 4clyd is turbo or head swaps everything will be Frankensteined together due to nothing being made for these cars a lot of the parts are disconnected and you’ll have to source them from a donor car … same with the V6 if you want power your only option is boost they no longer make the super charger. This car also isn’t Japanese it was made by Chrysler not Mitsubishi it shares the same body frame with the sabering …. BUT everything from before can be swapped with not much fab you can throw in a Evo motor / awd / ect can be put in the 3rd Gen

Could you do a Toyota Celica gen 6?

✨INSTANTLY clicked...That's my Eclipse in the thumbnail that I'm currently doing a build series on and I would love if you checked it out. I'm also local in CT as well. Nice vid, cheers brother! 🤘

Pain in the ass to work on is an understatement lol. At least for the weekend home tinkerer. I have to agree with about every point you've made, but at the end of the day I simply love my GTS convertible. I wouldn't want anything else. I can't really explain it...

I’m beginning my building of my spyder gts wish me luck

please do a good, bad and ugly. on the lancia delta integrale evo. 🙏

Mark you should do A deep dive on the z32 300zx!!!!!

Good Bad and Ugly on Toyota Solara (2nd gen preferably)? Don't think you've talked about it yet, and its a great sporty Toyota if Celica's too small for you.

What do u think about miata's forgotten sisters, the MX-3 and MX-6 😗

Love my 3g eclipse GT

can you do the mitsubishi lancer ralliart?

I brought 2 g3 spyder’s for under $500 each brought a gs for $350 and a gt for $400

Mark could you do the brz?

Still looks gorgeous to me

I have an respect for this car for the simple fact I tried to drive a spider with a 4 cylinder and I couldn't find neutral and was miss almost every gear I could it had a retardedly small throw

The reason that car is so hated is because of what it replaced. The second gen DSM’s were amazing, not to mention they look so much better than the 3rd gen. No 4G63 and no all-wheel-drive = lame.

S550 mustang next pls

do the 4th gen eclipse!!!! please!

yo Mark im in New York and it was 37 degrees this morning

Good Bad & Ugly on the Nissan 200sx....let's go!

I paid 8K for mine Cdn. last year. 70K miles spyder.

I like the fact that this car looks like a freakish ugly monster. Thats what makes them attractive. Sleek design is also a plus. Engine could be better but still bangs.

Do the b5 passat

you forgot the dashes are trash and crumble, but i love my 3G :-)

Day 456 of asking you to do the Crown Victoria/ Grand Marquis

Your favorite fact checker is here. 😏

Paul walker: Nah.. that’s to much chrome for me 😬.

the Koi car

Just picked up a 04 manual 3g rust bucket that came with aftermarket headlights, tails, reverse lights , sh*tty ff2 front and back bumper and a aftermarket exhaust, got it cause i wanted to learn stick and 1500 bones was worth it

I'm glad I own a 4th gen eclipse gt not tha 3.😊
