Rocket Bunny Eclipse Review! The Ugly Duckling of Mitsubishi 

Yeah sounds like the one i have on my 2005 Nissan Note

He should really do the engine and transmission swap for the eclipse that with a v6 would be awesome

I actually love the 4th gen eclipse more than the 3rd gen

Is that what throttle wants to do.

Maybe in Subies it should be called a Bro-off valve 😂

Same!

I used to bs with the crazy Gundam Nissan Juke guy. That was also a wtf why build.

Same here but I do on rc car hehe

One off builds are the best

@@blakelip3 my dream build is to swap a full Subaru 2.5RS awd stock drivetrain into a base model 65 mustang. Strip out all but the driver seat. But add dynamat. And daily it with AWD and 130hp. Confuse everyone. Till im dailying a classic stang in the snow....Then theyll know.....Then theyll know.

Still ugly lmao

I mean it looks ok lol

@@MrDelgado559 like you

My lil bro got one of these in auto and he loves it

Is awesome to see you here man! Long time follower of yours Bladed!

My uncle used to have one and it was my first experience with a sports car and I always thought the design was super good, I loved it at the time and it still has aged pretty well in my opinion

@@carsin60 The problem is the lack of power, and lack of aftermarket support. The parts individually were not known for reliability either.

@@Vulcanraven27 Yeah, idk about reliability issues (he had it for 7ish years and only one problem included him crashing into something) but I can see how the aftermarket scene just wasn't good for this car considering all the hate it got.

There's one in my town that's on beast mode

@@13THPR0PH37 Nice.

💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 preesh man

And he's like that in regular conversation in real life too. Really cool guy

@@afrocarguy8402 I love your enthusiasm and energy. I hope it takes you far in life.

I must have missed something but is there some car-related reason why someone would hate on him? Agreed. Seems cool. Would hang out with him haha.

Pete Sorensen I mean.... it’s a fwd economy car with 15-20k in mods that make it waaaaay slower than stock. Don’t get me wrong, I respect the guy and his will do build his car in a way no one has before. But it’s easy to see why someone would dislike the car itself.

🥺 aw shucks guys 🤙🏾

We need him on the channel

He posts quite a bit on his youtube!!

@@afrocarguy8402 just subbed to your channel. Awesome build.

@@afrocarguy8402 Dude, you made this video pop hands down, youre so happy and seem like such a good person to be around fr fr

i was just thinking the same, its a big tt

Its a gorgeous car

@@S3ManOfficial exactly, I don't get how the TT doesn't raise as many eyebrows. Probably cuz the TT is a smaller car at the end of the day, and their histories aren't exactly identical, so they're not really held at the same expectations.

@@eddier1630 TT is all wheel drive Quattro , where as 90 % of the Eclipse's were wrong wheel drive . Looks is the only thing they have in common . Eclipse should have been a proper rear wheel drive sports car , it has the looks but they decided to make it a compromise car instead .

On God 😄🤣😂

Lol not one bit 🤙🏾

@@afrocarguy8402 You ever plan on a lip or splitter? I feel like it would tie in the front super well!

I’m bout to probably get an auto 370z and will happily rep it. It’s annoying af how other people care what YOU want to drive

😂😂😂 never as planned

im there right now for my vette. what should be a couple weeks has turned to 5 months lol

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ the speed of life, been there

Been a few years is more my speed.

Undercover, right? That's where I fell in love with this car, playing with it on PS2 :')

Nfs most wanted

I used one for a good bit in Midnight Club LA Complete Edition and enjoyed it until i unlocked the class As.

Same, led to me buying one IRL

Nfs carbon

Big Lou

@@CR_250 yeah that's the one

Everyone immediately knew what that meant, lmao

I agree I got the 2.4 g's 5 speed and she gets going but I'd rather have the 4g69 twin turbo it would need to be fabricated a little bit that's where this wide body comes into play o I love it nice ride you just gave me some ideas

😂😂😂 “you can’t stop me mom”

facts

Seeing them irl is pretty neat because it's bigger than it seems online. The wide stance it has is a spectacle to witness for me!

Word for word

🙏🏾🙏🏾 appreciate the support

The chillest 😎

Straight up. Don't sleep on the 6G's.

With the 6 speed manual, nice little sleeper

Any Mitsubishi V6 in this era. Had the 6B31 in my old Outlander.

@@JHONNYR98 sleeper that never wakes up lol

@@rotorocker 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lol back in the og days, still can’t believe where I’m at now. And I’m glad we still keep up with each other 🤙🏾🤙🏾

Fwd only.... not a 4g63.... nothing in common that matters

@@cz75fanatic think as you please. But line a 2g and a 4g up side by side and just look. You'll see what I mean. And if you ever get the chance to drive one you might actually be impressed. I know what mine can do and it's just a stock 4cyl 5 speed

@@pghmechtech I believe you need to go back to reading 101. I said they had nothing on in common which mattered. I never denoted a lack of similarity in their appearance. Welcome to 15 years ago when those of us who owned gen1 and gen2 made this observation which it was clear that the g3 was closer to the g1 and the g4 was closer to the g2, visually only. Unfortunately the g3 and the g4 suck in every way which made the g1 and g2 great cars. I could go into all of the reason but the fact that I don't need to because you already failed to comprehend my first statement or because reality is reality and the sheer lack of "giving a shit" surrounding the g4 by self evidence of no fucking support does that to even a blind observer already. No no, please to tell us some more how a non impressive fwd only, 3800 boat was sooo awesome because its v6 made sub 300hp.... something the 4g63t cars did for $100 and a case if beer 25 years prior... better while weight hundreds of pounds less and having interiors which weren't reminiscent of 1982 toys.

@@cz75fanatic I know exactly what you said. My whole point was sunny judge a book by its cover

@@cz75fanatic i own one, alot of the motar internals are interchangeable and you can swap the heads of the 4g63 to the 4g69, you can do all things you would do to a 2g non turbo including turboing it. its just all custom and expensive as fuck.

The gate for this and the 3g was because it didn’t come with the awd variant. Still very nice cars imo and very unique looking

Everyone hated it and I loved everything about it lol

@@sergeantspeed5941 lol true I dunno i loved it tbh I dunno y peoples would hate on it

Dsm/tsi is the shit

Yo gen 1 eclipse best eclipse especially the GSX

Gen 1 and 2 GSX are amazing. It's basically an EVO coupe.

it always looked good

@@spiritsslide fax 📠

While I do love the styling (yes I'm one of the few) you can get a comparable genesis coupe V6 with 350 ponies that's already rwd and weighs close to the same. Plus both cars have next to no major aftermarket and used ones are price comparable. The very low power fwd and low aftermarket kill this for anything but style builds sadly.

Really appreciate it man 🙏🏾

😂😂😂

I was gonna comment about the trans. Lol. And yeah that damn CEL!!! I just replace my o2 sensor every year before inspection. It lasts about 2 weeks before the light comes back on. 🙄

Yep

the problem with that is a 5.0 mustang is like 3500-3600lbs, 570lbs is a lot of weight to knock off a car without gutting it. if I wanted to do a sporty fwd coupe just get a cobalt ss turbo(or s/c) or get a scion tc which has the trd s/c kit for it, dramatically better platforms.

@@timtresch4848 You just compare an Eclipse to a Mustang? You're an idiot. These were priced to compete with the Civic, and cars like that. And those cares the Eclipse would destroy.

🙏🏾🙏🏾 preciate that man

@@afrocarguy8402 no problem. I subbed to your channel too.👊🏼

My brain said the exact same thing the first time I saw it.

True. A rwd-only conversion for EVO Lancers would still be ruling the streets too. Mitsubushi/DSM dropped the ball back in the day.

They didn’t! That’s what makes this crazy impressive even in person.

seems like you didnt watch the video xD

It's a 350Z kit. he mentions it at 1:26

Tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me you didn't watch the video

@@eddief60 😂😂😂

Lol ayyye I know exactly who you talking about

Yea what you whippin big pimpin

Yeah, they look kinda bland and bubbly without any body mods, especially on the front end. The front thing it had was probably the optional factory kit, which believe me, makes these things look completely different. I'm working on painting a set for mine right now

Oh yessir you already know
