your talon would sell for booku bucks on bringatrailer. so clean! At the rate of your amazing restoration the buyer would benefit from waiting. good luck!
I couldn't resist working on the GSX with all this downtime!Big respect to our friends at STMtuned! Just ordered a bunch of OEM parts for my restoration and arrived to me super quick.I will give them a shout-out on my IG @DSMNation to hopefully drum up some more business their way.
July 21, 2019: New Member in the Mitsubishi GarageWell its certainly been a while since the last post and this news is a bit outdated, but i figured it was worth a share.Last summer I was incredibly lucky to find this 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 finished in Jamaican Blue. It is all original...
Appreciate the help and the bolt pattern!I could have sworn that hole was meant to bolt up that bracket that is in the photo? Otherwise, where would this bracket be bolted to?
Hi everyone,I am restoring my GSX eclipse and starting with the engine bay.Seems a bolt was missing or got lost. What is the bolt size and thread pattern? If anyone has a part # that would be even better. Hoping the DSM gods can help me out.
Great info!!
Ohh trust me it is on my bucket list to go to Japan again and hunt down this car. I would pay stupid money to have it my Mitsu collection! This gullwing eclipse, Fittipaldi talon, and an Archer Bros Talon are definitely the holy grails haha
Awesome find! The gullwing 1G and gullwing starion were made by Mitsubishi for a japanese police tv show called GORILLA.It is approximated that only a handful exist anymore in Japan. Mitsubishi made a brochure for the eclipse with the gullwing version on the cover back in 1990...
July 25, 2018: Mitsubishi Garage TourOver the summer I decided to record what the current state of the Mitsubishi garage looks like. Over the last few months I've been busy cleaning out and painting the garage. Got some cool LED lights on the way so I can actually work on the cars at night.
I am sure there are replicas available however I wanted to use OEM parts only for this restoration to keep it very authentic. Figured there is a DSMer out there that might have one saved.I am sure there are replicas available however I wanted to use OEM parts only for this restoration to keep...
SOS Calling on all DSMers!I am currently restoring my 1996 GSX Eclipse and in desperate need of the oem rear hatch MITSUBISHI decal. I know this has been discontinued for a while and vendors have now run out.I am looking to see if a DSMer out there may have one, I will pay a good price for...
Sure our DSMs will not be worth the values of Skylines or Supras...but the unmodified examples of GS-Ts and GSXs will certainly command great premiums in 5-10 years down the road.It is undeniable as our generation of owners age and have more buck in the bank, spending upwards of 15K-20K on a...
Find your clean 2G, as there really are not too many left. Since I was lucky to find my stock '99 GST over 4 years ago I haven't found another stock DSM since.It really is a shame the DSMs were the victims of their intended demographic and an onslaught of second hand owners modifying them...
Hi everybody,I decided to give the 2G GS-T a walkaround since some people were asking to see more of it.The car doesn't need a whole lot, really just some detailing here and there. Enjoy!The GSX is still undergoing its never ending resto...
Very true about the weight. Before I bought the car I thought this thing would drive like a tank on wheels. However, when I got behind the wheel you really can feel the AWS give the car a "lighter" feel to it. And because of the pumps and motors in the back for the hardtop, the car has a closer...
Wow! very cool to learn this white on gray spyders is one of 49 examples. I hope these continue to appreciate as I feel they are currently under-rated and live in the shadows of the hyped Supra and Skylines. While those others are great cars, I feel the 3KGT platform had the performance to match...
Hey everyone!What ever happened to these epic cars? Sure they were overpriced at the time, but I feel I rarely meet another 3000GT Spyder owner out there.Anyone else a fan of the 3KGT platform? Anyone have some cool stories about these cars when they were new "back in the day"?
Would be cool to see another video on that 1G with less doug and more DSM.I was lucky enough to find a bone stock GSX and GST, but I don't think I could ever part with them. Took years of patience to find them. Glad the DSM name is getting more exposure these days...let the resale value go...
That's is a beautiful 2Ga you have there. Is it still like that today, with the swirly wheels and all? Unfortunately, fast and furious did take a lot of those away, but the rarity now makes it all that much better.
April 11, 2016: GS-T DetailingAll original, and from 1999, the Minden Silver Pearl paint has held up extraordinarily well. Although always garaged, the car could use a good detail. The results of a great clay-bar and wax 2 day treatment left me stunned. The color of this car really does change...
Hi everybody,I have a new Mitsubishi soon entering my family, so I must make room in the garage and sell my beloved first purchased car, the 1996 Mitsubishi GSX Eclipse.This Eclipse is a rare example of a bone stock, low mileage, DSM. I will be honest that Kalapana Black paint needs to be...
Yes the "petina" was honest, but definitely wasn't detailed since it came to the dealership in '99. Luckily the GS-T has never been driven in the rain either! Glad you like the cars and the thread! Cheers.
June 2, 2014 - Striking Gold!Back from college, home in New Jersey for the summer. It was good to be back in my GSX after months of no driving. It was the afternoon, the sun was out, and I was spooling around town. Then I spotted a silver Eclipse, parked right on the side of the road...
MAY 31, 2012 - A Gem in TownI was cruising down a two way street in my 1996 GSX Eclipse when I shouted to my brother, “Look at that over there!” In the corner of my eye, I spotted a silver Mitsubishi Eclipse by those iconic tail lights. She had the turbo-model high spoiler and was sporting a...
Thanks! I was quite lucky to have found such a DSM. My plans are to restore the car, while preserving as much original paint as I can. All oem parts, and aftermarket only if I really have to. The engine bay and the underbody really need some attention, as well as the top of the car...
May 26, 2012 - Carpet CleaningSo at this point I’ve enjoyed my GSX for a little more than a year now, and despite having only 47k miles, the interior needed some cleaning. I decided over the weekend to gut out the car and clean that stained grey carpet. You have to remove the front seats and...

The First PurchaseIt was December of 2010 and I was a junior in high school looking to buy my first car. I’ve saved up about $5,000 from work and I’m dying to buy and build a full-blown “race car”. By this time I’ve lurked on DSMtuners so long and read so many build threads I had clear...
Little About MeHi everyone! My name’s Andy. I love Mitsubishis, along with DSMs and their history. And just like a DSM, I’m a Japanese American. I’ve been lurking around this site for some time, but never thought about keeping a journal until now. Instead of a build thread, I’ve decided to...
