IS A MODIFIED 4G ECLIPSE THE BEST DAILY EVER?? 

While I can't say it's the greatest daily, I can say with absolute confidence it is one of the best to drive every day. I own an fbo & tuned '07 GT-V6 6MT pushing 280whp. It's fast enough for my needs, corners well and is fun to row. Cost me less than 10k to both buy and build the car, so it's fantastic value too. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for cheap speed in an attractive body

You hit the nail on the head, the community is small but we help eachother anyway we can. Advice for anyone with these cars, keep up on the timing belt, keep it clean, and don't neglect your fluids. Basic stuff

I have the 08 GT Spyder...... modded and I can tell you that it’s a perfect daily.👍🏼

I have an Eclipse 2007 Gt Spyder and let me tell you its a realiabe car and really fun tu drive. It's an amaizing car.

I have the 2009 GS model and I have to say that it is a great daily driver, good gas mileage. But I recommend getting the GT model if you want an even more fun and quick ride

I bought one when I totaled my truck about 3 months ago. I liked it from the beginning but it’s grown on me more and more. It’s a cool little car

Just purchased a 06 GS silver with 38k miles w/new tires in amazing shape from original owner. Was stored for like 5 years as he went overseas for school and work. Just needed the brake booster to be replaced. Will follow your build and love the gold wheels.

I daily a 6 spd. GT and absolutely love it. Extremely reliable (if you do the timing belts) good In snow and also Extremely good crash ratings and more power than it probably should have the powerband is amazing for an n/a car, I've also seen these things roll multiple times too and people walk right away. You can feel the weight in the doors. Backing up is a challenge you better pay attention, This one still looks really clean there isn't many of these left anymore at all. Mitsubishi wants 2k+ to do the timing so alot of ppl didn't do it and blew them up. I had to drive 4+hrs to get mine 2 yrs ago and still haven't seen another GT in southern Ohio since, much less another Manual. I'm sure they are around but not very many at all I've only seen 5 or so 4g gs in the last few years. The GT is a poor man's 911 you can't beat it for the price if you can find one.

Honest review, thx!

Nice video. Kinda got me a little more enthused on my three 4g eclipses. Bought 2 with bad clutches for $600 pair (4 cylinders) and a wrecked v6 auto for $600. Going to build 2 solid cars but havent gotten excited about them because they arent valuable and dumping money into them will be pointless unless I drive them.

GTs don’t have many engine mods either. They used to have a RIPP supercharger, but even that is no longer available. I do not know of any company that makes forced induction specially dedicated to the 4G eclipse, both the GS and GT.

I have a 1GB it's nice to see the 4g I hope to see one at the track one day keep it up

My 4g eclipse used to be a show car...it is painted. I put a bigger cat back on it. It already had a cai and was lowered. The body kit is fiberglass and it's the spyder convertible with some rims. I bypassed the throttle body. The 4g gs eclipse is a nice little car and by no means a race car but it is a nice little ride and she picks up quick.

dude that thing is in BEAUTIFUL condition. i recently bought an 07 Spyder GS and while it looks great for its age, mileage (260k) and condition, she sure aint THIS pretty haha. i was curious how tall you were when you said you didnt have much headroom, but after finding out your height, now im skeptical; ill have to take a moment to sit in mine sometime (its chilling in storage while i wait to repair it). im 6'2 and never even gave a second thought about the headroom. in fact, what bothers me more is how limited the recline is on the seats. while on the topic of height though, i LOVE the look of a lowered car, but i could never do it myself. being 6'2 has its perks but us giants are totally incompatible with lowered rides. as far as visibility goes, i found that adjusting my mirrors to a wider angle allowed me to see almost 300 degrees around the vehicle from the driver seat. i never have to use the rearview, which is great because the visibility through the rear window is incredibly dogshit in the Spyder lol. in mine specifically, the window had fallen out due to being worn, but because of my mirror visibility, im going to just completely cover the back opening with some layers for waterproofing and a really pretty fabric that can be seen from the outside and call it a day. my current fix was cutting a sheet of plexiglass to size and gluing it (which works incredibly well btw) i was bummed out to find that engine mods are a little slim with the GS models, that was my own fault for being misinformed when i got the car. i was under the impression that like the previous gens, i would be able to supe it to hell and back, but even stock, the car feels amazing. definitely NOT faster than my 04 BMW 525i, but definitely the better daily for my lifestyle because of fuel economy. my biggest gripe with the car is passenger/ trunk space. because its the Spyder model, i can fit a total of ONE milk crate in the trunk. 0 passengers in the back. they shouldn't have even bothered with back seats if im being honest. the first mod im doing after i repair/upgrade the clutch is removing the front passenger seat as it will allow for more storage space lol.

Great video, I've got same color stock GS 2012 special edition eclipse, bought it new and fucking love it. I'll never sell it. Hardly drive my 4runner in the summer and just drive my car cause its so great. I'm actually putting about 5 grand in to get most of the body panels repainted and rust removed from some spots lol. Probably not worth much more than that but totally worth!

Great review, thanks.

Just got an 06 GS as my first car and I love it just have to decide what to do first.

I have the 09 GS Spyder lightly modded and I love it

Underrated car.

I have a 2007 ecplise spyder gs and i love it

I have an 06 GT, manual, sun & sound package, performance clutch and flywheel, headers, exhaust, intake, upgraded drilled & slotted rotors, new spark plugs, no check engine lights, leather seats, short shifter, and I would recommend this car to everyone! Hands down my favorite car (if you are 5ft 10in or shorter). I have about 300 horsepower now, but with great gas mileage!

I bought my daughter an 07 for her birthday. I liked it so much, I went and bought myself an 08 to daily. I can finally park my Silverado for a little bit because the gas prices are killing me!

I can contest to the visibility with the 4Gs... I have an 07 GT, and the only way I know there is a car in my blind spot is when they start beeping...lol. Also you are correct with the GT having more mods. I however went the route your brother did... Keep it simple stupid. I have no engine mods, cold ait intake, cherry bomb and a 4" exhaust

That’s a nice looking car for sure, I have a 3g Eclipse myself, the GTS V6 Model from 2003 and it only has around 103k miles on it but I‘ve been having to replace quite a few parts lately.

Cool crack.. can you leave a link in the description for that or is it just on Amazon... cool video cool car I've been looking at 1 for a daily driver for a while.

I actually have the rear end of my 4g eclipse in my google profile pic. Didn’t even remember until now lol

Also all 4G eclipses come with Mivec engine which if u drive certain way(basically in lower gears U hold the RPMS at 3-3500 rpms for a few seconds then redline n it hauls ass but U Gotta practice n time the holding the RPMS to let the engine fill with air.) N if U have the 6 cylinder GT especially the GT SE(special edition) it really hauls ass. ALSO it can b converted to AWD using think AWD from Outlander GT. N straight pipe sounds amazing!

Just got one its nice asf it came with a tuned exhaust and competition wheels and a soundlab amp its 4 cyl with 2.4 mivec engine

I always drive with my passenger seat all the way forward to get the best visibility and have the seat as far down as it can be being 6ft after the gym it’s definitely been a struggle getting in and out some days, doing a muffler delete in the upcoming weeks looking forward to what it’s gonna sound like bought mine with only 30k miles on it My first ever car and I’ll probably own it until the wheels fall off

I got the mufflers deleted on my 2011 gs sport, sounds phenomenal in my opinion.

I have an 07 eclipse gt I owned it since new the only issue I had was clutch replacement cause I loved driving like an asshole when I first bought it. And ac system sprung a leak. Its now my work car and no issues at all

I have a 07 GS Spyder manual. It's OK... I wish I had passed on it and waited for a 6 speed GT Spyder.

Nice car! Do you know which projector headlights did you get? Are this gloss black or matte black? Thanks!

I have an 07 gt eclipse with the 3.8 v6 and I don't have the nuts to get custom Coilovers cause its my dailyyy

I have A2007 Spyder with 90k I love it never gave me a issues

U the next streetspeed717 you just gotta add music to the videos lol

I hope to get a 10+ spyder gt or gs. As a beach car 😁

Mine has 196,000 miles on it and it has not giving me any problems at all👍

I've pretty much been daily driving a 4G GT since 2007....... sadly now getting to the point the little things are getting to me...

I’m 17 and 6’4. I bought an 07’ Eclipse and let me tell you it is definitely interesting getting in and out 😂

I have an 05 3g eclipse, I’m getting some new wheels but I’m afraid with them on the gap might make it look kinda ugly since the tires are gonna be much smaller than the ones I’m running now which are stock, if that were to be the case would it be recommended to use lowering springs on it? I’d be getting coilovers after wheels but if the wheels do make it ugly I’m gonna kinda wanna get it back to looking good ASAP

I habe been speeding around in an 09 gs with 106k we just snagged for 1500.... its actually fun even though its under powered and overweighted. The blind spots are ridiculous but since its a small car, once you know them, its not as big of an issue. The highway kinda isnt fun bc of the 4 speed. Im at like 4k rpms just trying to stay at 80 with the Hyundai next to me 😆. Im going to be starting with mods this summer now that we have had it for a bit and know its sound enought to spend a little money on.

Mechanically it is a good car. My only problem is the design. All other boxes checks. I am pretty sure it's a fun car to drive

I just bought an 07 GS.......and I'm realizing how awesome it is. I need a new hood and front fender (it's just a lil beat up).....and some new inner door pull handles. The blindspots are a bit rough, but I'm getting used to it. :) If any of y'all have any parts you wanna sell.....hit me up!!!

The dreaded hose kink.. We know the frustration all too well.

What have you done to the car since you uploaded this vid?

Wheel specs? I myself have an 06 4G gt V6 6MT, and got bolt ONS just need to tune

Can u tell me the mods you've put to it

Ah, an automatic 4 cylinder 😌 It’s okay, I have automatic 93 trans am, I know the shame.

i LOVE THE ECLIPSE. It's so difficult to find one that isn't misused.

I’m fucking weak we stuck a 65 in tv as well the other day you could get it to fit if you lay the back seats down and shit the front seats all the way back. I love my g4 it looks like a hot wheels car🥴😂

With dash lights on and a cracked windshield😂

Did you delete both catalytic converters or just the one behind the engine

i have a 2012 eclipse gs in carbon grey with black gt wheels i only bought it for $7k with 109k miles on it. i really want a gt but i cant find any gts that are 2012 near me i dont want the older ones bc i dont like the front grille style i like the black in the front

Hey, planing on buying a d30 eclipse as my first car, cause they're cheap in Germany and look good. Should l do it and is it good as a daily?

AMAZING just get some Rallye eyelids!

My eclipse has that same shake, did you ever find out what’s wrong ?

I own an orange 2007 GS convertible. If you think that 2008 GS lacks visibility, you wouldn’t imagine my struggle. I have a rear camera tho.

😅 he puts his seats down too huh. I always have mine down

Aye I just wanna say you are actually wrong there is actually quite a bit you can do with the engine as long as you know what you are doing and it has been proven that the eclipse is one of the best tuner cars you can get it’s just under rated I have an 03 eclipse gs and I’m about to put a turbo on it tune it let’s just say it’s a full restoration it was sitting for 4 years and she’s going to be fast and aggressive when I’m done but love the Eclipse content keep up the good work

Looks like Chambersburg

I have an 06GT and I love it..... but....... the gas mileage kills me. I daily drive a 2016 mazda6, but my eclipse is my fun car.

I have a 08 GT and I can’t agree that the gas mileage is any good. 19 mpg is auwful now a days. 40 dollars after 3 days of use

wents and looked at one the service engine light was on aswell as in the video i passed. but thinking i dont doubt it was just an 02 sensor the 06 had that issue. did i make a bad decision

Love my 07...my neighborhood hates me! I got it rowdy as fuck

How much did he pay to get auto start. I have a 2011 Eclipse GS Sport edition.

Bro do you still have your Mitsubishi Eclipse we should get together sometime and cruise really love my eclipse with the 3.8 liter V6

The visibility is specially bad on the 4g spyder, love my car but when I have to back up it sucks

I have an 06 GT I just bought. I agree, if you're tall.. even people look at you weird like how TF does he fit in it? Haha I'm 6'2

they are PERFECT for daily or POWA lol

I have my 4g eclipse for sale and this video made me think about not selling it 😩

I have a 08 GS Spyder I want to know where he got the headlights

Here's the thing...years after owning and repairing TONS on my 2006 3.8GT (manual), I have to say that this car is NOT a great budget car. Parts are near impossible to find. Dealers charge ridiculous prices for everything, and that's only if you can find it. I LOVE this car and have put a ton of time and money into it, and plan to keep it for many more years, but as a daily...I don't think so. Such a great drive, though!

I rode in the back of a 4g, we jumped a hill going way too fast and I slammed my head on the back glass, very cramped

2003 g3 eclipse gt- but I got my head touching the roof

Do you have a update with the aero kit

I think the GT version is the best daily

Wheel specs?

I got one of these and it's basically bone stock

What muffler / exhaust system has he got on there?

What exaughst would you suggest I go with? I have the same car

Does your brother have an IG or YT as well for his eclipse?

Subtitles: [Music]

Mialem kupić Hondę Prelud ale chyba kupie Eclipsa cabrio 4

Use turtle wash

A super budget daily would be a Tiburon. Cheapest car made

I have a 2011 gs sport and my steering wheel shakes the faster i go and the only thing I hate is the fact it accelerates slow

I also find it quite roomy, as a 6'1 guy

Does he have a RU-vid? Looking to upgrade my 4g

I have a 2012 4g gs se and it’s not bad it’s completely stock and I can pull 130 on a straight it’s a lil slow on acceleration I wanna get a cai on it and a exhaust as well anyone have any advice on what type I should get and after that switching over to the gts throttle body which is a bit larger is my next step

Dish soap? And you likeyour car?

How tall are you btw? Im 5'11 and worry itll be too low for me

This is a 4g69, which is basically a 4g64 with mivec. And a 4g64 is basically a 4g63 only 6mm taller. Which means that Evo and DSM parts can be slapped on this. Do your research first.

Um noooo the gt version is the one with limited to no mods. The Gs is the one with alot of mods.......pretty basic stuff there

i have a 4g LOL

You did not just use dawn dish soap on a car 💀 hit it with some spot delivery after using a good soap for CARS. Ardex is a good brand

Washing a car with dish soap, God that hurts 😞

Dawn dish soap? Rip paint

My 2g is 4 inches off the ground and doesn’t shake like that....check yo self bro

Im 6.2. Am i too tall to own this car?
