I am contactable from 1800-2200 on weekdays, anytime on weekends.

To start with a little back ground, I've had this vehicle for around two years now. The vehicle is beautiful inside and out and low miles for the year. There is no rips or tears in the leather and all the paint matches on the outside and still holds a wax very well for a 15 year old car. bottom of front bumper has pant scuffs and digs, I never repainted that when I got her because when lowered it scuffs anything and everything anyways so there was no point to repaint the bottom. Although she looked beautiful there was a number of mechanical issues like a bad fan, rubber hoses on oil returns and oil leaks of the worst kind (the ones you could never easily find and seemed never ending)

I replaced the hoses, as well as the oil leaks all of them. Then the MAP Sensor went witch screwed everything up. The MAP sensor was replaced and the car wouldn't retune and wouldn't start. So it ended up sitting at the garage for about 8 months wile I just got frustrated with it and didn't touch it but to clean it every now and again. Finally we figured out that the computer might be bad. We sent it out along with the chip and a new computer to find out the chip was bad not the computer. However, I had the new ECM Link/Tuning Chip Installed in the new computer. She ran but I didn't trust Her, and I didn't want to do the tuning myself, so I towed her 2.5 hours away to PSI PROFORMANCE. They put a new fan in, new wiring, and another new MAP Sensor that they would be able to tune.

Then It was Time for the DYNO. Wile there, I had PSI PROFORMANCE Tune and Dyno the car. As in the pictures below, at the time of this first tune She was running 253 ft-lbs of Torque and 275 HP. About 100 over stock on just those few motor upgrades.

I ended up bringing it back a few days later, the day I left it started idling funny and it sounded like there was an exhaust leak. By the time I got back there the exhaust leak was horrible. It also sounded like there was a boost leak, witch was thought to be there the first time but wasn't found. The exhaust leak from turbo to manifold, basically the worst spot ever for power. And the boost leak was found from turbo to intercooler, THE absolute worst spot for boost and power. After their tuner/dyno guy had those fixed he re-tuned it, he didn't do the dyno again (for that's $500 for tune and dyno there) but he estimated the car was now pushing about 300HP and 260 ft-lbs of torque. He had me take it for a ride before I left again and literally with those two things fixed, it sounded like a whole new and stronger car compared to what it did just two weeks prior, amazing how much little air not circulating correctly can hold something back.

After this tune the car ran great for about 3 weeks I did not drive it daily for during the summer my Mustang is my daily car and the Eclipse was just for fun. And the compliments were always appreciated, got them every time I drove it. After about 3 weeks the motor finally blew, To Much Power For its Own Good. The vehicle does not Have upgraded cams, (witch he said I needed to push more horsepower because without the hp hits a brick wall at 300) no upgraded intake manifold or headers also for more hp but this is because I wanted to upgrade the bottom end first. However I didn't get there in time and the rods blew rate through the bottom of the motor (shown in last picture)

I cleaned up all the oil from under the car, cleaned the motor and checked the parts and everything seems to be ok. Turbo, Intercooler, etc. (the expensive important stuff) Its been sitting for a couple months at home now because I left for the military and have not had time till now to post this listing again. It is worth more if I parted it out I know that, anyone who knows cars knows that, and I've had many offers on the turbo, intercooler, rims, exhaust, etc. However, as I just mentioned, in the military, I'm short on time, don't have the time to part it out so, although worth less to sell, I'm selling her as a whole no exceptions.

NOTE: ALL PICTURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN AFTER MOTOR DAMAGE, SO YES, IT IS STILL THAT CLEAN AND TAKEN CARE OF. Must sell, please make offers, I can negotiate a bit on price or what goes with it. SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY!!!

I am selling this vehicle locally and reserve the right to end this auction early. Shipping is responsible by buyer.

Thanks For Looking.

Mitsubishi boss says US operations may break even next year

Sat, 23 Nov 2013

Mitsubishi has lost money in its North America operations every year since 2007, but in an interview at this week's Tokyo Motor Show, company president Osamu Masuko said, "If things keep going well, it might be the case that we break even this year," Automotive News reports.
A little context: Last month Mitsubishi predicted that it would lower its operating loss in the region to 4-billion yen ($40.7 million) by March 31, the end of the fiscal year, well below the previous fiscal year's operating loss of more than five times that amount. Reflecting that, production at the Japanese automaker's sole North American factory in Normal, Illinois, has grown to 56,630 vehicles through October, compared to 27,339 through the same period last year.
The plant makes the Outlander Sport for the US and for export to markets such as Russia, the Middle East and Latin America. Interestingly, out of the 56,630 Outlander Sports built at the Illinois plant through October, only 20,150 were sold in the US.

Fiat taps Mitsubishi for European pickup

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

Mitsubishi is often derided in the US for its relatively boring lineup, Lancer Evolution aside, but the company is on the upswing worldwide, recently posting record global operating profits. The Japanese automaker may get a further boost in the near future from a rumored pickup truck deal with Fiat.
According to insider sources speaking to Automotive News Europe, Mitsubishi would reportedly build a variant of its widely respected L200 pickup truck for the Fiat Professional brand in Europe and Latin America starting in 2016. The L200 is larger than the Fiat Strada front-wheel-drive pickup already available in those markets, and it's available in rear- and four-wheel-drive configurations. The idea of adding a midsize truck to the commercial lineup was in the Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles five-year plan, but it didn't include any mention of a partnership to build it.
At first blush, the Mitsubishi agreement seems like an odd move, given that Fiat already owns pickup truck specialists Ram. However, according to ANE, the company had at one time planned to use a version of a new Dodge Dakota pickup for duty in Europe and Latin America, but the model never came to fruition.

1,400 Mitsubishi vehicles lost in shipping tragedy

Thu, 06 Dec 2012

A cargo ship carrying 1,400 Mitsubishi vehicles from Japan and Thailand collided with another vessel off the coast of Belgium and the Netherlands yesterday. The 485-foot Baltic Ace was carrying cars from Zeebrugge, Belgium to Kotka, Finland when it collided with the 439-foot Corvus J. While the Corvus J sustained damage during the incident, it is not in danger of sinking, and its 12-man crew is currently still on board.
The Baltic Ace, meanwhile, went under. Three ships from the Royal Dutch Sea Rescue Organization, two navy vessels, four helicopters and one coastguard aircraft spent the evening searching for survivors, but rough seas and high winds hampered the effort. Eighteen of the Baltic Ace's crew, including the captain, were rescued after being found in life rafts, but six remain missing. The search for survivors has officially been called off.
The collision occurred in one of the busiest shipping lanes in the North Sea, and the managers behind the Baltic Ace said they believed human error was to blame for the incident. Dutch police are currently looking into whether or not they can investigate the sinking despite the fact that the collision took place outside of the country's territorial waters.
