I don't know about that lip but all t/e/l were built in Normal, IL.

 

[lauj2gdsm]

i have never seen a 2g in cali with that lip ever...

I might be mistaken, but I see a steering wheel on the left side. I thought all JDM cars were RHD.

Yes they are. The giveaways are the fold in mirrors, and orange corners on the tail lights, and side turn markers, which are regulations in Japan. Of course, they are the same cars as the ones here. Mitsubishi 'imported' some of them from the U.S. to sell there and they were LHD the same as ours. I think with the 2g, they only sold FWD's over there, but the HP was bumped up a little if I remember correctly.

I think you're thinking of an EDM car, yo.

No i'm not, yo. It was exported to both Europe and Japan. (it seems to be the same version though)

Here's a Japanese site about it, it's in Japanese of course, but you can run it through a translator or something. (don't let the horse pic throw you off)

The horse pic threw me off dammit! So does that mean the Eclipse is an import in Japan?

Pretty much. I suppose it'd be like importing a European Ford 'Ka' or something else not available here, to the U.S. It's not a domestic car, but it's still a Ford.

That's a Tsunami front lip. It will cost you about the same price as a full bodykit however.

That just seems so wierd to me! ! Calling a Ford an Import...

You can get those lips off of eBay once and a while. I had them on my 2g gst.

To answer your question, yes, that is an eclipse that is sold in Japan. So, i guess you could say its a JDM eclipse? I saw a lot, actually, a couple weeks ago in the Kanagawa prefecture - all 1996. I have seen 1gs before tho. Yeah, theyre the same thing that we drive, but they still need to follow japanese regulations - like orange turn signals, and stuff like that.
